Senior Lecturer in statistics at UWA (@uwanews). Everything is latently Gaussian: change my mind.

@gwern @FriedKielbasa Slight augment to this so I don't have to trust bash to not delete history:

~/.bash_profile:
```
PROMPT_COMMAND="history 1 >> ~/Dropbox/prompt-history.txt"
alias allhistory='cat ~/Dropbox/prompt-history.txt'
```
Usage:
`allhistory | grep thing_i_vaguely_remember`

I'm very excited to continue our work analysing the data from NASA's OCO satellites, co-lead by @NoelCressie, @andrewzm, and @bea_buks, along with students @joshhjacobson, Alan Pearse, and Daemon Kennett. A dream team!

[UOW @UOW]

Dr @mikebertolacci and his team have received three years' funding from @NASA as members of the #NASA Orbiting Carbon Observatory Science Team. 👏🪐 #UOWResearch

@andrewzm giving the first horizon lecture of #ASC2023

[Helen Toner @hlntnr]

Out today: short paper from me + colleagues on policy challenges at the AI research frontier.

The paper (based on an event we co-ran with @GoogleDeepMind) explores foreseeable extensions of existing AI technologies, the risks they might pose, and what policymakers can do.

Nice to see this come out—it was wonderful to play a small part in this work. Well done @BKAByrne for leading this!

[Andrew Zammit-Mangion @andrewzm]

Assessing a country's carbon stock from atmospheric measurements is challenging. So proud of our team contributing to this international study done in support of the UNFCCC global stocktake https://t.co/HHX1BLOxjz @uowcei @uowresearch @uowniasra @mikebertolacci @NoelCressie

[Michael Bertolacci @mikebertolacci]

Stoked to see this come out - a little piece about our work on the carbon cycle in the latest issue of @signmagazine.

[UOW CEI @uowcei]

Congratulations to @uowcei members @NoelCressie @andrewzm @joshhjacobson and @mikebertolacci on their feature article in the newest issue of @signmagazine 🌎CO2 data from @NASAEartht's #OCO2 satellite is seen through the eyes of #WOMBAT

[Michael Bertolacci @mikebertolacci]

@bozicivan @pincone_com Glad it helps! It's nice that a side project from nearly a decade ago is still useful.

@thejholloway We've used https://t.co/ozjHmf9sv4 a few times. It gets you a DOI, which is required by some journals, and it's free!

This Friday as part of Global Climate Change Week here at UOW I'll be giving a seminar entitled "A shifting carbon cycle: Hunting for changes in ecosystems' emission and absorption of CO2". Link below!

[Michael Bertolacci @mikebertolacci]

I'll talk about some of our (@NoelCressie, @andrewzm, @bea_buks, @AtmosJennyF, among others) latest work on using observations of atmospheric CO2 to look for changes in the carbon cycle using techniques from both Bayesian statistics and atmospheric chemistry.

@dan_p_simpson Well, your username is "daniels imp son", so...

@DaveDoesStats I find stats jokes funny, but then again I'm biased.

If you're into statistical deep learning, this (FREE!) workshop in Sydney might interest you—I'll be there.

[Andrew Zammit-Mangion @andrewzm]

There are still a few spots left at the "Workshop on Statistical Deep Learning", which is full of exciting talks and networking opportunities! Sydney CBD 24-25 October 2022. Registration closes 30 Sep 2022. https://t.co/9gp4FZ6gNo

@robertwiblin @tylercowen This might be an instance of a false dichotomy where growth must be either exponential or zero. Cubic growth (from expanding in all directions) would be pretty good!
