YouTube force-classifying videos as “shorts” and preventing the uploader from changing this classification is a misfeature.

@karolherbst is there a way to make rusticl less chatty? Getting pci id for fd 14: 10de:25b8, driver (null) pci id for fd 15: 10de:25b8, driver (null) === Rusticl warning: Patched Mesa libclc not detected. Upstream libclc may contain known bugs or breaking changes and isn't guaranteed to work […]

Sono le 7:32 del mio primo giorno di rientro dalle ferie e voglio già tornare in ferie. #ferie #lavoro

No #eclipse here. Sun set before the moon had the time to cover it, it was cloudy anyway, and when it didn't rain rain, it rained volcanic ash. #Etna #MtEtna #eruption

I've mentioned in the past that among other things, we rely on the #Meteosat geostationary satellites to monitor #MtEtna. Even though the spatial resolution is low (the sub-satellite pixel has a nominal resolution of 3km), these satellites provide information at a high temporal rate: MSG […]

So, I'm spending my vacation preparing #lava flow inundation #hazard maps for the ongoing #MtEtna #eruption, how's your summer going? #Etna

Come giustamente ha detto la mia collega nella nostra chat di lavoro, «Ma sempre a #Ferragosto?» #eruzioni #eruzione #Etna #MtEtna

Need to prepare the images for the extended abstract for the 20th #SPHERIC. My mind is already on vacation. These are going to be the hardest-to-make images I've ever made.

Here we go again … #Etna #eruption

Our latest submission to JCP has been rejected as “out of scope” because the editor has interpreted the paper as being “an application”. A curious decision, since the paper is on how to compute acoustic terms efficiently and with higher precision compared to how it's usually done, and there are […]

I want to simulate this with GPUSPH https://dmv.community/@jcrabapple/116988909535919449

🌊 In September 2023, seismometers around the world detected a mysterious signal repeating every 92 seconds for nine straight days. The source: a standing wave trapped inside a Greenland fjord. Here is what happened. A glacier in East Greenland had been thinning for years, no longer supporting […]

From time to time I get a student whose exam project is good enough to be a thesis for their degree, and I feel embarrassed because mine is only a 6 CFU subject and I the only I can do is give them top marks. (Yes, they usually already have a thesis supervisor.)

After sitting for two months in the editor's hand, our latest manuscript has been finally sent out to the reviewers. Coincidentally, just a couple of days after I sent an email asking about the status of manuscript. #academia #academicPublishing #publishOrPerish

OK I'm going to need ask the Fediverse for some math help here, because I have a feeling I'm forgetting something obvious and can't find the resources I'd need to answer my own question. Let's say I have an underdetermined linear system. The methods generally employed to solve these find the […]

I think I got my first #genAI / #LLM exam project submission. I do not remember if I made a clear policy statement about this during my lessons, and the students are foreigners (their native language is neither Italian nor English), so I can understand that they might have felt that having an […]

Does anybody happen to know the power series expansion for arcsin( k sin(x)) or do I have to derive it myself? #askFedi #lazyFedi #math #maths

In a meeting to organize a new project, and I keep hearing “Mastodon” instead of “milestone”. I suspect my brain isn't entirely on the job today.

I'm reading news of someone in academia complaining about the new no-AI policy by ArXiv that requires something as outlandish as co-authors to take responsibility for what gets published in a scientific paper and … I'm sorry, how is this unexpected? Academic publishing has a lot of issuers, but […]

I had a weird experience with #Julia and #parallelization. I had to collect all the pairs of items in two sets (S and G) that satisfied a particular relation function R. For Reasons™, it's easier to find these pairs looking at each element of S and find which elements of G are in relation with […]

Has this always been a thing? I just got an email from a scientific journal publisher, informing me that an article of mine from 2024 was “among the most viewed articles” (in 2025, of the articles published in 2024). And I mean, OK, I'll take it, but I'm sitting here wondering: is this […]

I'm currently looking for a way to bring together by experience with #SmoothedParticleHydroynamics and #remoteSensing, and as part of this process I also wrote a converter (in #Julia, because this has to fit within some existing code which I wrote in that language) that allows me to export […]

A roomful of #ComputerScience professors fighting #GoogleGemini to do something that could be achieved with a sort -R | head -n 4 *sigh* #genAI #LLM

For work I'm refreshing my knowledge on #OpenACC and I'm still wondering why anyone would want to touch that.

OpenCL 3.1 is here. The Khronos Group has moved several capabilities into the core spec, including SPIR-V kernels, subgroups, and integer dot products. Also includes improvements to the memory model and synchronization, plus better alignment with Vulkan via device UUID queries […]

Following a #geophysics seminar where they're explaining how to prepare #fudge.

This is what upsets me about the "enthusiastic junior engineer" explanation. The value in mentoring an enthusiastic junior engineer is that you'll have a capable senior engineer at the end of it.

Obviously when I teach #GPGPU I point out that the main point is performance, and “how to measure” is a topic we address. Obviously, the primary metric is kernel runtime. I then introduce the effective bandwidth metric (bytes read + bytes written, divided by time taken by the kernel) which is a […]

People who claim there is no engagement on Mastodon have never posted a photo of a really cute cat and it shows.

Ah, the joys of #MicrosoftTeams: on #Linux I can only use the web version (obviously), BUT EITHER I use it on Chromium, which means I can see the video streams from others, but mine doesn't work OR I use it on Firefox, which allows it to see my camera but I cannot see the video streams from […]
