@festal I agree. Keep meaning to write a blogpost about how what was great about old twitter was human curation + network effects. (I thought Robyn Kozierok invented collaborative filtering for her MSc, at least that's what her supervisor Pattie Maes sold Amazon.) Anyway @ibogost should read the blog I did already write joanna-bryson.blogspot.com/202

I cannot repeat this enough right now.

Musk has given journalism, and the news business a once in a generation gift.

Don't squander it.

Take control and ownership of your audiences in a way that only federated social media like Mastodon affords.

Do the two-step:

Step 1: Get onto Mastodon.

Step 2: Launch your own server to go with your website.

As right-wing extremists are re-platformed everywhere from Twitter to Mar-a-Lago, it’s more important than ever that we hold our journalists, researchers, & others to high standards of accountability when it comes to reporting on extremism and extremists. We need journalists who will tell us the truth, not stake out a position in the middle of two unequal sides. I keep coming back to this quote about reporting on the weather, but it was missing something — so I modified it to make it complete.

FFS, with all due respect to #Alphafold , can someone please invent LaundryFold? We all know which problem is more time-consuming!

@cscherrer do you know of any differentiable ODE solvers in julia/SciML?

@Angie_rasmussen hi Angie, thanks for joining mastadon. I am curious to learn what kinds of mathematical models virologists such as yourself use to aid decision making.

I am a computational biologist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory applying causal AI to develop multi-scale scientific simulations that learn from data to answer prognostic and diagnostic questions
