Big news: we're launching a new course in <4 weeks. "From Deep Learning Foundations to Stable Diffusion".

Bigger news: for this course, we're teaming up with @StabilityAI!

AFAIK, this is the 1st course that covers every method used in Stable Diffusion.

@lalleal Interesting, I might spend some time looking into it - seems like we should be affected by the bug too. But probably not today - to nice weather :-)

[Øyvind Løkling @[email protected] @lokling]

@lalleal Curious on how is it broken? Can you share a test? We´re on Spark v3.2.1 , Scala 2.13.8, and some testcases you are familiar with seem to pass fine :-)

@lalleal Worst possible timing, just days before the conference.

⚠️ IMPORTANT INFO ⚠️

Following today’s updates from the government & the local authorities, it is with a heavy heart that we announce that we CANNOT meet physically in Oslo Spektrum this year. 🧵

[JavaZone @javazone]

It has been an amazing day and evening with the @javaBin crew gathered for a JavaZone workshop. A lot of progress is made and the conference is well under way. We all look really forward to welcome you in December!

@markawest Bon voyage! Following for updates - I´ve been considering a canoe trip this summer :-)

[Tim Urban @waitbutwhy]

The human psyche has weather. When we feel bad about the present and future, it’s cloudy in our psyche. When our psyche is cloudy, it colors everything. Things feel gloomier, angrier, scarier, and more depressing. This of course has all kinds of negative effects on behavior.

@galinash Had to replace a 2018 model mbp after 1,5 years due to keyboard issues this spring - the latest model rolled back the improved keyboard and is good so far. Better to type on as well - more key travel. Still some months of typing to do before I know if it's better durability :-)

Today is a good day.
It’s easier to be a parent this morning.
Character MATTERS.
Being a good person MATTERS.
This is a big deal.

It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around.

Today is a good day.

Big news everyone! The JavaZone 2020 conference that was to be held in September is being postponed in the interest of public health and safety. The new dates are January 20 & 21, 2021 (see what we did there?)! 1/2

The Czech Republic went from zero mask usage to 100% in 10 days, and in the process they halted the growth of new covid-19 cases.

How? They made their own! They didn't need government help; they did it themselves.

It's time for #masks4all. See why:

As data scientists, we (with @math_rachel) have done our best to look at the data around covid-19, and what it means to you and your community.

Our view: it is appropriate to be very concerned, and significantly change your lifestyle, right now.

1/ Many of you ask me why I take the COVID-19 outbreak so seriously.

Current numbers of cases and deaths are *not* why.

👇 A thread on why I’m worried and what I do personally in this situation.

[Sayed Tabatabai, M.D. @TheRealDoctorT]

The surgeon’s hand is visibly trembling.

The scalpel’s blade glints as it catches the light.

I’m a medical student, scrubbed in on the case. I’m not going into surgery, I know that. I’m here for him.

He glances at me and notices I’m holding my breath.

He grins.

“Relax.” 1/

Curious about software used for climate modelling and mitigation. Are there open source projects with any traction? Are the software needs in climate research and development met?
