I spent months working on domain-specific search engines and knowledge discovery apps for biomedicine and eventually figured that synthesizing "insights" or building knowledge graphs by machine-reading the academic literature (papers) is *barely useful* :

@mynamelowercase still true I think so I probably should

[Markus Strasser @mkstra]

I've bio-pilled a few SWE friends and know a dozen more that would take a pay cut to go into bio/research software if it was seen as a valid "cool" career with a clear path and enough salary to build a family eventually

I've spent several years building software tools in genomics.

While the work couldn't be more exciting, there are unique challenges and tensions in the world of scientific software.

How does software in the life sciences actually work (and not work)?

@_pxlpshr @deforum_art @i_shanshanshan Your transitions and camera movements were well done. I think the thematic of skulls and aliens is somewhat unmotivated and needs more narrative work to make meaningful/emotive

[Markus Strasser @mkstra]

@deforum_art @_pxlpshr @i_shanshanshan else people might think that's the only thing the tool is good for - no offense

[Markus Strasser @mkstra]

@deforum_art @_pxlpshr @i_shanshanshan Since deforum is supposed to be a tool for artists it'd be best to highlight submissions that have actual artistic value, style, soul and a story instead of a deluge of uninspired tweening

@liamhz I highly recommend going to the Florence or Barcelona Academy of Art for 8 weeks and doing Bargue Drawings. That really levels you up

@mattsclancy well deserved Matt
