We reach Rabaul after 4 days of navigation over the Bismarck Sea. I am now docked at the Kute shipping quay for how many days I don't know yet. The good thing is that there's a new company covering the last stretch of my journey, from Rabaul to Buka, Bougainville. I'll just have to wait for the time the ship is ready to depart. In the meantime, I watch at slave-like work of a group of men downloading copra from a cargo ship and uploading it on trucks delivering it on local markets. They tell me they get the equivalent of €2 for every ton of copra downloaded, to be divided among a team of 6. Slavery I said.

I slow travel mainly to reduce my carbon footprint (by 10 times according to available estimates: see https://ourworldindata.org/travel-carbon-footprint ) but also to experience travel as most people in this world do.

Day 75-78: Conditions are not exactly first class on the vessel taking me from Lae to Rabaul: There's no couchette and no shower room. However, people leave me some space to roll out my 2-inch mattress on the floor (I'm the only one onboard except for crew members enjoying this luxury), so I get some rest. All other passengers sleep crammed on the floor or on the seats. For washing we rely on the "bucket system" in small cabin rooms that get constantly flooded with (rather filthy) water. Surely I'm a white fly on board and everyone wants to speak with me. In spite of this and the breathtaking view of the sunset, I get on with my work...

Day 75-78: I don't think I'll ever see as much as beauty as in these breath-taking sunsets over the Bismarck Sea. They fall gently like leaves caressed by an autumn breeze.
https://youtube.com/shorts/qA-dFbqb4ic?feature=shareThey are an utmost pleasure in my 4- day 1,100km ferry trip from Lae to Rabaul.

Having seen research from many different angles – as a clinician, #researcher, trial manager – she knows that every manuscript represents years of work by real people
#Technology can help #publishers handle growing volumes of research, spot patterns, make processes more efficient – it can speed up good science & reduce routine tasks. But it cannot replace the human judgement, accountability & shared responsibility that scholarly publishing relies on.Interview by Tim Gillett

Day 72: In Papua you can never be sure about schedules and timing until the ship has actually taken off. After an obligatory 3 hour delay, I am eventually about to embark for the previous to last stage of my journey: 4 days of navigation over a 1,100km route: Lae-Umboi-Gloucester-Kimbe-Rabaul. I still don't know how to manage the last stretch from Rabaul to Buka....
I can't believe that after 70 days of travel I am just about to complete the 28,000km dividing Italy from the Solomons without flying! It will count nothing in terms of overall greenhouse emissions, but for me, now, it's everytghing I can do to for this wonderful fragile planet. 91/
I slow travel mainly to reduce my carbon footprint (by 10 times according to available estimates) but also to experience travel as most people in this world do.

A #researcher bought noreply.net. Companies started sending him secrets.
Cory Solovewicz receives more unwanted emails than you. Seriously—it’s a lot more. Since December 2024, one of the domains at which the #security researcher receives #email has registered 401,796 messages—by his calculations that’s an average of 699.99 pings per day.
This deluge isn’t the regular flood of spam, newsletters, and unwanted deals that fill many people’s inboxes. Instead, companies and other organizations are inadvertently sending Solovewicz other people’s private information and company #secrets. Over the last few years, he’s received injury reports from a city government, confirmation of people’s pizza orders, and account setup emails from a school platform. “I get service orders for people that need repairs. I get lots of test platform credentials,” says Solovewicz, a security researcher and consultant.

There are no bus schedules, no tickets, and buses depart when they are full. I am getting to the main departing point in Madang when it's already late in the morning - but I really wanted to talk about locals about coastal erosion in the city. Fortunately, I still find a place for me on probably the last bus, and two seats are allocated to my bulky luggage. Off we go for the last stop in Papua island before hopefully embarking for the Bismarck archipelago.
It takes 6 hours to cover 212km on "Ramu Sugars" road. It was even slower 3 yrs ago with unpaved track

Day 65: After a smooth 9-hour boat ride over the Sepik river, we made it to Sisimagung, Northern Papua. This is the 65th day of my no-fly trip from Italy to the Solomon islands. The coastline is beautiful, what you could describe as paradise on earth. Coconut trees gently bend over sandy beaches and the sound of the waves quietly resound among villagers busy with their fishing nets or cooking earths. It is then all the more upsetting that this beauty is slowly but incessantly being destroyed by sea level rise. This is what Jeffery Bae, a local resident, tells me in the few hours I have here before getting on a truck to Madang. It seems impossible that a sea so quiet can become the agent of destruction, but this is precisely what happens, as Jeffery shows traditional houses made with sago and bamboo leaves having been dismantled by the latest storm surges.
"We will have to relocate", tells me Jeffrey with an empty, "but we don't know where, because right behind our village there's a swamp".
Once more, I hear the same story: no help from national, regional governments, and neither from international organisations.
How many million stories are similar to Jeffrey's, and I wouldn't hear were it not for my slow travel.Check interview here:

Microsoft is under fire for threatening a security researcher with criminal investigation.
It's rare to see near-universal condemnation from the #infosec community, but #Microsoft threatening a #security #researcher has done it.
Microsoft is going to crash and burn soon, imho.
The world can no longer rely on American companies software, when #Trump may order Microsoft to deny access to a country, or worse, order backdoors in the software.
#France is showing #Windows the door, and replacing it with #Linux, for #DigitalSovereignty, #security and Billions of Euros in cost savings.
#India , known for its #jugaad ( frugality and innovation ) may soon follow suit. When that happens, the center of gravity shifts towards #FreeSoftware and the game changes.
#MSFT has seen the sharpest declines in its entire existence, this year.
We are in the Free Software world, approaching the time when, if you say, "I have a computer program you can use, but I won't show you the source code, and you have to pay me for it, and you can only use it on my terms, and you have to pay for upgrades, and I can declare your computer obsolete and make you buy another if I decide.", you will be laughed out of town.

This year I let an AI help with Christmas shopping and it made a big difference. It picked warm white lights, a simple tree, muted stockings, spiced cookies, tea, a ceramic dish, beeswax candles, a linen runner, and a custom neon sign reading “Anna’s Space.” I didn’t save time but I saved mental energy and clarity. If you’re curious about custom neon options, you can explore them here:

I am very proud of my newly bought solar power generator and I use it straightaway on my makeshift office space at the upper deck of the ship taking me to Jakarta. The sunset over the Java sea is, however, a big distraction for my overdue essay...

It's a very short boat ride the one from Singapore to Batam, Indonesia. But it's really a springboard from the globalised, motorised, and carbonised part of the world to the Global South. I have already travelled about 14,000km to come here without taking airplanes and I truly savour the crossing of this physical but most importantly cultural boundary between North and South.
The taxi that takes me to the embarkment to Jakarta travels through bumpy roads, which turn into dirt road at the very access to the Pelni (the Indonesian national ferry company) departure point. I am torn between accepting the offer of porters to carry my luggage or carrying it myself. It's little money for me and a lot of money for them. I opt for carrying it myself, as I am short of Indonesian cash and I perceive porters' requests as bordering extortion. I travel 3rd class, because I want to stay as close as possible to the travelling conditions of most travellers. I get a bed in one of the many sleeping halls provided on the ship. A mattress is provided, although it's better not to think of the last time it has been washed. I must say sleeping is hard. People talk loudly throughout the night and kids cry loud. However, I am so tired that I sleep tight. As usual, I am woken up at 4am by the call to the Islamic morning prayer.

From a recent post looking for PhD theses databases across Europe, I got lots of boosts (thanks) but only returns from very few European countries. So I wonder : how many active scientists (lets say having published one peer-reviewed paper in the last five years) are on mastodon from the different EU countries ?
Pools only have 10 choices, so more countries are in the next post 🙂
please boost mainly on servers with a science theme
And if I have missed any hashtags that are followed by many scientists, please add

Okay, I'm going to pin this one because it's probably the most important aspect of what I work for.
🚨 If you're a #graduate student in #Canada 🚨
You have access to all of the academic supercomputers and cloud computing facilities that are part of the Digital Research Alliance of Canada FOR FREE
Not sure how to use a supercomputer? We also do a lot of training!
There's no catch! I promise, there's no catch. Think of it like you think of your local library. You don't wonder why they let you in and read whatever you want for free, right?
➡️ Students need to make sure that their PI has created an account first, because they'll have to be approved as a member of a lab.
🐎 Run, don't walk to https://ccdb.alliancecan.ca/security/login and get started!
🚨 If you're a #faculty member in #Canada 🚨
Whatever the role, #lecturer, #researcher #researchAssociate it's the same thing for you! Just get your account before your students and staff. Same link.
🚨 If you're an academic research collaborator outside of #Canada 🚨
You can also use the resources for free if you get sponsored by a Canadian researcher that already has an account. Again, for free. As long as you use it for a project you both collaborate on, you're welcome!
Next week, we'll go through the yearly process of allocating resources to our power users. That process is basically like a grant application and that might also be interesting to some of you. I'll post about it when I'm in the thick of it, I guess!

For once, an #AI issue where I *can* speak with a certain amount of authority.
I've been hearing "expert systems outperform human #diagnostics, so pretty soon human #physicians will be obsolete" for a few years now. It's closely akin to "#airliners fly themselves these days, so what do we need #pilots for?" In both cases, people are paying attention to the best-case scenario with no understanding of the *enormous* number of how many and various the worse cases really are.
This is complicated by the fact that in most of #medicine (although not necessarily #emergency medicine, the author's specialty) and in nearly all of air travel, the best case is also the normal case. Most of the time, whatever is wrong with you can be diagnosed and treated. Almost all the time, when you get on a plane, you'll walk off at the other end of the trip as healthy as when you boarded. It's reasonable to expect those outcomes.
Not-best and not-normal cases add up really fast.
Without any false modesty whatsoever: as a #medic, I learned a truly impressive degree of clinical judgement. From the first moment I saw a patient, I had a pretty good idea of #diagnosis, #treatment, and #prognosis. (Sadly, if my initial call was "this one's not going to make it," I was almost always right. The exceptions kept me going.) I learned from the best—one of my mentors had learned *his* trade in rural Guatemala, where resources were terribly sparse and human judgement was the only line between life and death. He held back death for decades, and it came for him far too early. Gene Gibbs, RIP.
I can't code that. Neither can anyone else, and if they tell you they can, they're lying.
As a #researcher, I've done a fair amount of work in #clinical #decision #support (#CDS). The idea is simple, and valid: no human, or team of humans, can remember everything they need to know. There's simply too much knowledge for the brain to hold and recall on demand. Subtle relationships exist between disparate types of data that *nobody* knows, until we tease out the numbers. We're doing this, right now. It is saving lives and relieving suffering, right now.
The key word there is "support." Humans still absolutely, positively, 100% need to be in the loop.
Maybe that will change, someday. I'm not saying it's impossible, for two reasons. First, any time anyone says "computers will never be able to ___" they're usually proven wrong. Second, I don't want to limit my and my colleagues' imaginations. We need to stay focused, but it is a *good thing* for our reach to slightly exceed our grasp. That's how #science happens!
Just not this day, and not for many days to come. Right now, we need to keep muddling along. There's not much more human than that.

#Introduction 👋
Hello! I'm Pierre, #ML #researcher based in #Annecy, working on cool cutting edge #motionCapture tech at https://twitter.com/artanim_mocap.
I spent 12 years curatting a 🐦 feed, and I will now try to move to :mastodon:. My feed was mostly ⭐/❤️ and retweet of important posts and papers, cross-retweeting will be an issue, it should evolve a bit.
I might also start blogging on old #oldPhotography tech, #fisheye #VR180 cinema, markerless #mocap, #VR, or real-time #deepLearning models training.
