I'm interested in cooking and building stuff.
I love traveling, I lived in India, China, Slovenia, Poland and Spain.
Currently working in Spain in the field of genomics; and doing a PhD in Drug Development using Quantum Mechanics and Artificial Intelligence.
Don't take what I say as an insult, I have no bad intentions and I'm open to talk about it.
Don't star my toots, I find that often useless: if you liked it send a reply.
Consider boosting the toots, it's the only real way in which stuff is propagated through mastodon.

Ok… chi è stato il burlone che ha chiamato una tempesta "Goretti"?

È la mia sindaca, saranno stati quelli del partito popolare a scegliere il nome...
We got USB-c standard, when are we getting laptop charger standard?
I'm pissed in the office having 10 different laptops and each requires its own specific charger.

Infatti ho dovuto chiedere ad un francese che mi spiegasse a cosa servisse dato che con l'italiano non sono molto pratico.
A chi è venuto in mente che tra le lingue ci fosse da mettere il "palestinese"? Affianco all'ebraico poi.

Voi conservate capovolte le latte della pittura iniziate, per evitare che si deteriorino?

@GustavinoBevilacqua ho assaggiato il cedro in insalata qualche giorno fa. Mica male.

#genuary9: Crazy automaton
Not that crazy. Rule30 over luminance, with some oddball adjustments to hue and saturation based on the luminance bit. Orientation of triangles as exercise for the viewer.

January 9: Crazy automaton
Build a big fullerene (the dual of an order-6 icosahedral geodesic sphere, I think). Paint its pentagons black and its other faces white (like a soccer ball). Use a simple rule to evolve face colours: re-colour a face black if the subset of the face and its neighbours that are currently black has odd size, white otherwise. The result is a symmetrically evolving series of soccer ball patterns (that appears to repeat after 31 generations).

#genuary 9: crazy automaton. This is kind of reaction diffusiony, where a pixel lives or dies based on its neighbours in the previous frame, but operating on a warped domain. Implemented as a p5.strands shader! https://openprocessing.org/sketch/2843293 #p5v2 #p5

La Goretti no ha contestado a ninguno de los correos electrónicos que les he enviado.
A ver, tal vez en persona me podrá contestar.
Ojalá pongan más bancos en la ciudad, y ojalá haya sitios cubiertos de la lluvia dónde una persona se pueda sentar o estar charlando con amigos.
De momento solo hay los arcos en zona vieja y el pórtico en la alameda.

I can confirm, in Spain impact factor is very much evaluated when assigning grants / PhDs / evaluating your scientific production.
OpenAlex, while very cool is still far from complete.
I'd like to see Scholia detach a bit from wikidata so that it could be used for that purpose more extensively.
Nothing wrong with OpenAlex, but I found plenty of errors in their database and they don't provide a way to notify the error.

The largest fundamental science agency in Europe will save €1.4 million annually by breaking free from Clavariate Analytics' commercial databases of references and citations.
Starting January 1st 2026, the CNRS will stop subscribing from the Web of Science, along with the Core Collection and Journal Citation Reports.
"We have worked for free to lock ourselves collectively into a paid system", one head of the CNRS explains - but no more! 🎉
