Greetings from @jonathanwider.bsky.social at the Machine Learning Summer School, which is taking place at the @Universidad Católica San Pablo in Peru at an altitude of 2,300 meters. The summer school runs from 2 to 13 August and includes lectures by numerous renowned ML/AI researchers.

Heute gelernt: Die physikalischen Einheiten-Vorsätze kommen zum Teil aus dem Dänischen. Femten als dänisches Wort für 15 wurde zur Vorsilbe "Femto", wobei z.B. ein Femtometer 10 hoch minus 15 Meter sind. Analog bei atten, dänisches Wort für 18, ein Attometer sind 10 hoch minus 18 Meter.

Gestern war dieses Foto von André Kempner in der LVZ.

In dem ersten Haus mit Erker rechts wohnten meine Großeltern und eine zeitlang auch ich.

Wenn ich als Kind zu Besuch kam, stand meine Großmutter am Erkerfenster und winkte. Das war schön.

Alle Häuser waren grau damals.

Das 1,5-Grad-Ziel ist gefährdet, wie aktuelle Berechnungen zeigen. Trotzdem rät Klimaforscher Emanuele Bevacqua, daran festzuhalten: Noch sei es möglich, die Erderwärmung zu verlangsamen.

I love everything in this thread (fun web toys that show the explosion that is happening in bsky)
Lots of fun stuff being made lately using the Jetstream, the firehose of all Bluesky posts. Here’s a growing thread of my favorites. (Send me more!)
See the colors of BlueSky, live!

Strangers On A Bench

Tom Rosenthal has spent the last 6 months walking the many parks of London, approaching random bench-dwellers and asking if he can sit next to them and record their chat. Leading to a wonderful, intimate conversation.

In a gratuitous attempt to acquire more followers myself 😁, I've made a start on a "starter pack". Hopefully as more people from 🐦 make it over to 🦋, we can extend this a bit. Suggestions welcome!

I've noticed not all accounts seem to be eligible to be added, anyone know what's up with that? 🤔

Welcome to all the Bluesky newbies! We've created a starter pack of compound events and multi hazard researchers and groups. Please send through suggestions for who else to add to the list

A preprint I’ve been working on together with Olivier Pasche, Zhongwei Zhang, @zscheischlerjak.bsky.social, and Sebastian Engelke is out: arxiv.org/abs/2404.17652. We compared ML-based weather models and ECMWF’s HRES in case studies on 3 recent high-impact extreme events! Summary & a few thoughts 🧵👇
