I'm trying to leave this hellsite - find me on the other apps (handles in bio)

is super happy to share that Pedro Barbosa has defended his PhD thesis with the highest grade (and praise!) on leveraging deep learning for studying RNA splicing, with important contributions on #xAi for genomics. More importantly, he is on the job market!

Oh wow, the problem you're working on is extremely important? And the solution you've settled on is the correct one? And all others are flawed in critical ways? That's actually pretty amazing, nice work

I am always bemused by programmers that don’t use debuggers. It isn’t just about breakpoints and examining variables, but also being able to break into a process that has been running for an hour and issue something like:

this effectively makes prison a death sentence for trans women btw.

after 121 days and a false starts i'm very likely permanently back on stimulants. while this break was valuable, the cost was enormous, not just in terms of executive function but also financially and in my general well-being. i fell hard for the "medications bad" egregore

I'm extremely proud of today's achievement of Giorgia Nadizar, who very successfully defended her #PhD thesis titled "Towards Bio-Inspired Interpretable Embodied #ArtificialIntelligence". Now she's a Dr., with honors!

apart from probably being not too stealthy.. this is a hilarious (and kinda sad) find. what sandbox? I'll just move the mouse to stage2.exe and click it using mojo IPC messages from renderer context
