There really should be a cure for sleep.
I'm watching LA vs Austin and the properties of water are the best part. Soccer in the US, water is cool.
I finally got a new skateboard and put it all together. Like despite the rough patch in my life I feel happy.

talked to a friend today about maybe designing a stage keyboard, but it's me who knows how to do that stuff, so he'd have to fund prototypes. and he's not independently wealthy, sooo...

this resurgence of everything analog and 8-bit wasn't something i expected. you shouldn't underestimate the power of childhood nostalgia, i guess. i have a lot of knowledge about how all of that stuff works and could easily design new electronics that makes use of it. i had just never expected there to be a market for something like that, but now there is...

@lupyuen i have a feeling thag will be an ongoing process for a while for you. Must be fun though, i widh i did more EE stuff.
Me im exhausted, been working too long and too hard to get this company merged and onto the stock market, its draining. I just arrived in thailand for 5 weeks though so hopefully the food and change of scene here will be a refresher.
Glad to hear you are doing well.

Will #ChatGPT make Teaching obsolete? Not if we teach real things ... The creative way!

This is a simple observation from my years of soldering: Every blend is a different experience.
I used a Zn/Ag/Cu alloy on a PCB and it was a different experience than leaded or the various Rohs solders I've used.
The 3.5% Ag solder with rosin core seems to flow to the joint very quickly with a hot iron.
I also realized that I didn't have adequate ventilation when I woke up feeling like garbage the next day. The HEPA filter was pulling in nearly everything but I suppose a box fan is better.

Unfollow that account you hate. Stop reading that book you think is meh. Close all those tabs.

To this extent I'm really interested to know how the age breakdown of people on the #Fediverse. On one hand it would seem to make sense to me that most people here remember the "old internet" before the centralization and they're here to rekindle that flame of independence. On the other hand the youths are generally pretty up on this whole technology thing. I grew up on the internet and since then smartphones have become even more ubiquitous.

Now that I have moved instances, time for a re-introduction! I am a #LawProf at #McGillUniversity where I teach & research #IntellectualProperty #patents #innovation #trade #GlobalHealth using #transdisciplinary methods (qualitative & quantitative). I have a particular passion for how #OpenScience partnerships contribute to innovation, such as in areas of #MarketFailure like #PandemicPrepareness #AMR, #RareDiseases & #PediatricDieseases

Doing another #introduction!
I'm a #researcher that uses #ethnographic methods to explore human experiences with emerging #technologies, often forms of #AI, like #robots or #VUI. I'm in a sub-field of #psychology that looks at how people #create & #learn & make #artifacts & am also rooted in #film #theory.
To me #AI is a #communication medium & a #storytelling device. I'm interested in the stories people tell about their #emotional relationships with #tech.

at this point I entirely belive that discord isn't just passively annoying to people who use it, but actively harmful to the internet
it locked instant messaging into a corporation-owned centralized walled garden worse than skype ever did
it destroyed anything that remained of forums and along with them, commonly needed information being publically and easily accessible
it distorted people's perception of what servers and decentralization are in favor of trusting corporations more than regular people
if this isn't intentionally harmful, I don't know what is

Let me introduce myself! My name is Ilenna Jones, I am a computational neuroscientist with keen interest on how dendrites contribute to a singular neuron's ability to compute functions and learn tasks. I build biophysical models of neurons in #pytorch and use #deeplearning principles to investigate how #neuron models can learn and compute given their biologically realistic constraints.
I'm looking for postdocs right now! Feel free to connect if you're looking for someone like me!
I'm very interested in helping other students find resources and guidance as they consider science and #neuroscience in general. Feel free to connect if you're looking for advice/perspectives!

Since I've been in Israel I have really wanted to visit the regions considered Palestine still (west bank, that sort of stuff). I have strong political opinions about it all but feel i really need to see both sides first hand and interact to really have a right to feel strongly about it.
Anyway one of the Palestinian workers I hired heard about this and invited to take me and show me around. I cant tell you all how excited I am to get to do that soon.
