We trained an ML classifier on 107,875 transients from 1949-1957 Palomar plates to filter out plate defects. Turns out the real ones avoid Earth’s shadow/clusters around nuclear tests.

Either something reflective was in Earth orbit a decade before Sputnik, or dust on a glass plate has really strong opinions about nuclear weapons.

First of its kind? New feature in Ghostty: a web-inspector-style "terminal inspector" targeted at CLI, TUI developers. Built right into the terminal, you can see a live view of terminal state, keyboard events, escape sequences, and much much more. 👻💖 Video tour below.

Similar to Firebug with Firefox, I'm hoping this helps usher in a new era of develop-ability for terminal applications by making it much much easier to understand what is going on.

When the inspector is not in use, there is no perceivable performance impact (benchmarks show the same). When the inspector is in use, the terminal it is inspecting slows down to about half speed due to the overhead. But this only impacts the terminal being inspected.

This is a really early version of the inspector. The data organization is kind of messy, its mostly read-only information right now, and there is a lot more information I want to surface. The next step is making a lot of this data read-write so you can actually modify the terminal live (similar to modifying HTML/CSS live in a web inspector) to trial-and-error some changes.

This is just the beginning. 😎

@samnastase "no patience for both sides", "it's not complicated", this conflict (THIS of all conflicts?) is an "example of a rare clear-cut in history".

And you are devasted by watching tribalism?
Incomprehensible to me, sorry.

Feel it’s challenging to analyze a large neuroimaging dataset in a reproducible way? Check out our latest preprint of BABS! BABS is a user-friendly and generalizable Python package📦for reproducible image processing at scale. https://t.co/2URY6Ijpg9 🧵 1/n

@Norikus @Der_Postillon Genau! Diese Gier! Wenn ich daran denke wieviele Kuchen man davon hätte backen können!

[DataLad @[email protected] @datalad]

Thanks to the 60+ people who, over the last week, expressed their interest in a first conference on decentralized data management, DataLad, and git-annex!

The meeting will take place April 18-20 next year in Düsseldorf, Germany!

@dingding_peng I consider responding to a typo with a typo myself more embarrassing. If that's any relief. :-D

[Benjamin Poldrack @SurfaceBen]

@dingding_peng I suppose if humanity "went instinct" it wouldn't consider going extinct to be a goog thing. ;-)

@HamerThorne @Hon_Dave1 @BBCWorld A coup in germany to end democracy and reestablish the monarchy?

That's the last thing anyone in europe needs.

[Benjamin Poldrack @SurfaceBen]

@Hon_Dave1 @BBCWorld I get your point, that it's unusual to go beyond talking of "revolution" here, but the right-wing was extremely upset with Merkel (for good and for bad reasons ;-) ).
So, it's not that her leaving would trigger that.

[Benjamin Poldrack @SurfaceBen]

@Hon_Dave1 @BBCWorld The allegation is, they worked on concrete plans for more than a year, though. New government was not yet in office back then.
So, hardly a reaction to policy. If anything reaction to anticipation of leaning more left than before.

[Benjamin Poldrack @SurfaceBen]

@Hon_Dave1 @BBCWorld Those groups have been around for a long time. "Reichsbürger" wouldn't recognize Merkel's government either. They claim we are not a sovereign country, but an occupied one and "real" legal continuity would need to be derived from the pre-Nazi empire.

Development update ahead of the coming second release of @datalad Gooey. After three additional weeks, we have more features, more convenience and a more robust core. Take a look at this little thread of video demos...

Wir spenden der gematik ein paar Zeilen Code im Wert von 400.000.000€

Wetten, dass die Hersteller lieber das deutsche Gesundheitssystem plündern, statt die einfache, kostengünstige Lösung umzusetzen?
Die 400Mio gehen dann in ihre Tasche.

@Noahpinion @JessePowell3 Yes, except for the "in his own country" part.

The #FAIR4RS principles (for research software) have been published, and frankly, the paper is a disappointment. Not because of what is in it, but because of what is not.

@dingding_peng To be fair: For any T-Shirt that is reasonably liked by its owner, the number of its holes is a function of time and always greater or equal 5.

No, @github, nuking a user and removing all history they ever had on the site, as if it hadn't exist, doesn't only effect that user, it screws over random unrelated projects that the user contributed to.
