Hi everyone, I just successfully defended my PhD thesis.

@Russelli While knowing the theory of semiconductors would be good I'm not sure its entierly the best example of what I mean. It doesnt have a huge application on understanding novel circuits.
I think a better example might be how many EEs dont fully understand maxwell equations. I tried to explain how all electric circuits have a magnetic circuit dual to a room full of experienced electrical engineers. None of them could even understand the simple concept that magnets store energy in their magnetic field that under special circumstances can be extracted that is in many ways no different than a discharging inductor or even an inductors dual, a battery/capacitor.
They were all taught you cant extract energy from a magnet, and while that is true under normal circumstances there are special circumstances where you can, and because the idea of "you cant extract energy from a permanent magnet" was drilled into their head they couldn't accept the very obvious truth that this was incorrect under certain conditions.
Would suggest the poll has a bit of a bias. Someone who chooses NO, but doesn't like to eat meat, what do they do?
Dear Qoto members,
We are seeking a third open-source hacker to join our not funded but good cause NLP code project https://github.com/russelljjarvis/ScienceAccess.
The dashboard tool helps scientists understand how complex their writing is relative to other sources of text and to help scientists compare themselves to other authors in their field. Contributing to this project would be a good opportunity for hackers who like modifying existing code and want to develop applications from scratch, and this code project could probably be reformulated to fit inside an academic research project.
To this end, we have developed a web-dashboard app that significantly utilizes nltk. The mostly built web application guides a user to perform a query of scientific papers from a user-selected science author.
The application then uses machine reading to assess how hard each piece of writing was to read, leading to an average “readability score” for that author.
We would are developing a manuscript that we would like to submit to JOSS and would welcome anyone as an author who could provide help or contribution. Also here is an example of the type of NLTK processing and python issues we may need help with.

Each service you have ton register too seperately
Also they are all federated and most use activity. So you can for example follow your peertube account from your account here. When you post a new video it will show just like a status update would for an account on this server.

Is anyone else on Mastodon in Bendigo?
The fact that the magpies included in this study seemed to mimic only sounds that were relevant and within their own territory suggests something about vocal learning in sedentaryspecies. It is perhaps not so much a matter of the size of the repertoire as was argued before, but of social organisation (although the two are also often interlinked). A bird with a complex social organisation, as has themagpie ,may require a map of its territory that is recorded not only visually but in an auditoryfashion.This study found that mimicry in Gymnorhinatibicen is used exclusively for sound features belonging to inhabitants in the bird's own territory, as distinct from visitors to that territory.
If it is public money, it should be public code as well. I support this call for more public code under a Free Software licence: https://publiccode.eu/

To proactively enter a new year, I decided to start writing in a blog again, instead of disclosing everything via lazy social media sites. Here is a documentation of a bike touring trip: https://wp.me/p5SyM-db
