Oh yeah that look like they don't feed me anything here

Unsure. Bowtie has has is pale blue, smaller, and no pattern. A gala edition! 😊

I don't worry about having left the door locked or unlocked - I live so far-out in the country that any thief would have a long drive to get there, and would not find anything worth his while.
in reply to Muse

My hi-fi stereo speakers are worth a fair amount - but you almost need a fork-lift to get them into your truck.


hey do you want to come work with me and the cool people at the spritely institute? we're currently hiring for an open source developer relations manager! (apology in advance: US only, for funding reasons)

‘Climate villain’: scientists say Rupert Murdoch wielded his media empire to sow confusion and doubt


"Scientists have described the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch as a “climate villain” who has used his television and newspaper empire to promote climate science denial and delay action.

"Murdoch’s outlets, including Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and The Australian, have long been known to promote doubts about the cause and consequences of the climate crisis. Scientists said this had caused lasting damage."



transphobia

lmfao, looks like the transphobes found the @TechOverTeaShow episode before the systemd haters... smh, step your game up systemd anti-fans

seriously though, I don't really care about the transphobic comments, they honestly make me laugh more than anything

in other news, thank you all so much for 1.9k views in ~2 days, the podcast is growing much faster than I expected

and if you haven't listened yet, take a look: youtube.com/watch?v=SMl4l3OUqR…
there's also some cute clips on the channel

re: transphobia
@TheEvilSkeleton We've got to do another one then and see what happens, I'm sure you've got plenty to say with the on going Bottles packaging nonsense.

in reply to Brodie Robertson

Thanks for featuring us! It was great to hear someone excited about EOL dates, and really getting why this information needs to be accessible easily.
in reply to nemo

@nemo I like people doing cool things, that can be Rust support in the Linux kernel, or it could be EOL dates
@nemo


every woman in academia needs to stop and read this 2021 profile of Katalin Karikó. it’s enraging and inspiring all at once.

and every man should read it for a very simple reason:

🗣 THIS IS WHAT A REAL GENIUS LOOKS LIKE

not Jobs.
not Musk.
not Zuckerberg.

not 99.99% of the Silicon Valley conartists calling themselves geniuses.

no.

it’s this middle-aged mother who works at a lab.

I just put some "line dry only" trousers in the tumble dryer, becase they already have holes and missing buttons and are just for wearing around the house when I'm not expecting company and will be sent for recycling as soon as I buy a new pair.
in reply to Muse

Much of the "dry clean only" stuff is just fashion elitism.

Plus, anything that has to be dry cleaned is only for special gigs.



Hi friends! Very excited to announce that I'll be giving an @easy_build Tech Talk on the 13th of October on #AVX10!

The Talk is titled "AVX10 for HPC:
A reasonable solution to the 7 levels of AVX-512 folly"

Registration is free, all #x86, #AVX, #AVX512, #SIMD, and #HPC experience levels welcome!

The page is here: easybuild.io/tech-talks/008_av…

And you can register here! event.ugent.be/registration/eb…



Karikó, a biochemist, was denied tenure over this work, and struggled for years to find any funding. Weissman, an immunologist, believed in her and kept her work on life support. Together they figured out how to stop the inflammatory response to in vitro mRNA.

Amazing interview with Nobel winner Katalin Karikó

aargauerzeitung.ch/leben/inter…

"If you publish papers – more is better - it can help you get a promotion, more grants, a larger team. However, if another scientist scoops you by publishing something similar like what you were working on, you feel devastated. If your goal is purely scientific, you will not be upset, instead rather happy that there is more data and maybe you will even get validation for your theory"

Using NLP to find similar phrases to "champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends". Results included "focus for my real friends, real cuss for my faux friends" and "metrics for my real friends, real tricks for my meh friends". jeremybmerrill.com/documents/c…

“shampoo for my real friends, real poo for my sham friends” is a literal shower thought of mine from possible decades ago, and yet it makes me giggle every time to this day. 😊

If I were Jewish, that midrash one would be going directly into my bio.


doi.org/10.1016/j.immuni.2005.…

The crucial 2005 paper by Karikó and Weissman that demonstrated how mRNA modifications reduce the recognition by Toll-like receptors, paving the path for mRNA vaccines.

Like Nobel prize-winning research before, the paper was rejected by Nature, Cell, and Science.


in reply to Sarah Perez 💙

Did not expect the annual report to make news but am pleasantly surprised ☺️
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Side-note: is it a mastodon bug that techcrunch links aren't unfurled correctly?


Very pleased to see NYT acknowledge Lise Meitner.

Meitner developed the theory of nuclear fission & newly translated letters show she was barred from sharing credit for the Nobel Prize-winning discovery because she was Jewish & a woman. nytimes.com/2023/10/02/science… #science #history #HistoryRemix

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

thank you for sharing that. Reading a biography of Meitner when I was in my early 20s was transformative.
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

yes. It was a serious omission from the Oppenheimer film and, of course, from much of the history of nuclear science.
