Just a reminder, as I get this a lot, but joining the United Federation of Instances doesnt require **any** time contribution of the part of its admins or instances. Any voting is totally optional to participate. As long as your instance follows our code of ethics you can join, nothing else required other than to federate to other UFoI instance.

DM me if you want to talk more, are are at over 200,000 members and will be open to more over the next week or so before membership will become harder and more formalized.

all intances welcome, from single user to large instances.

I still go to Twitter when I need to stamp out bullshit.

The New York Times headline is funny, but the quote by Scott Aaronson is better - that is, more accurate:

“If this experiment has brought a wormhole into actual physical existence, then a strong case could be made that you, too, bring a wormhole into actual physical existence every time you sketch one with pen and paper.”

Hello! 👋 I'm a PhD student at NYU's Center for Data Science. I'm interested in representation learning and, in particular, self-supervised learning, currently focusing on image and video data. Happy to be on this platform! #introductions #ML

I think it's glorious that there's now a Mastodon server operated by people who used to work for Twitter (macaw.social). I could have never imagined it when I started in 2016.

I gotta admit, this one stings!

#PhysicsFactlet
Cold stars look red. Hot stars look blue. But there is no green star.
To be more precise: stars emit a very broad and temperature-dependent spectrum , so intermediate temperature stars excite in roughly equal measure all 3 of the color receptors in our eyes.

There are green galaxies, but that is a story for another time 😉

Unfortunately accurate 😅

A reminder for anyone new to mastodon who might not be happy with some of the racist and bad actors out there on other servers... Just import the fediblock list to your personal blocks and you will be safe from the vast majority of bad actors.

Same feeling 🍇

a list of some questions I've gotten about mastodon on tikok:
- what?
- so it's like reddit?
- so it's like discord?
- who owns it?
- is it chinese?
- could elon musk buy it?
- does it support free speech?
- how?
- ... what?

#Introduction. I'm a theoretical neuroscientist at Columbia University. Primary focus on cerebral cortical circuits, both mature function and activity-dependent development (a form of learning). More general interest in intelligence & learning, e.g. neuro/AI interface, as well as long-term goal of understanding how cortex computes and analyzes and represents and learns. Also passionate about politics, and will post about that too -- coming from a belief in justice, freedom, everyone having a right to a secure and decent life and opportunities to develop and advance themselves, and in true democracy -- one person one voice, not one dollar one voice.

#introduction to the #academic #science we do:
We are interested in developing and applying #computational tools and approaches to study #membrane proteins such as #ion channels and #transporters.

#Introduction

I'm a computer scientist / cognitive scientist at the Santa Fe Institute, these days working on conceptual abstraction and analogy-making in AI. Fan of Bongard problems, letter-string analogies, and the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus, among other domains.

#introduction

Hi all, I'm a postdoc at #Microsoft Research #AI4Science. Before joining #MSR, I did my PhD at TU Munich and interned with #Spotify and #Amazon AWS.

I do research on #MachineLearning for structured data (e.g., molecules, graphs). I am interested in #robustness, #deeplearning, #uncertainty estimation.

I am based in #Berlin.
