WHAT KILLED THE CRABS? The official story is something like “a billion snow crabs disappeared.” If that sounds fishy to you, keep reading. Let’s dive into the ecology, oceanography, & geopolitical history of the Bering Sea. A science thread on crabs, corruption, & collapse: 🦀

True, but not necessarily a bad thing. And living on the street because of the ridiculous housing rate of UC is better than living in the basement of your parents' house imo.

#SfN2022 is over. It is truly where the magic happens: Learning badass cool ideas and techniques, randomly bumping into old friends in Gaslamp area, and above all, being told that I looked like a first year grad student.

# Chinese scholar # Old Montreal fire A large fire broke out in a historical building in Old Port District of Montreal, Canada at 5:45 am on Thursday. 6 people remain missing, among which is a promising young Chinese scholar, Dr. An Wu, who came to Montreal for a conference.

Found my passion (once again) in creating software pieces to make everyday research a little bit easier. If you, like us, have the need for labeling multi-stream episodic events of videos, check out my recent project github.com/hsingchien/Ban…

Trained a diffusion model on the calcium traces of my dataset. A few thousands of training iterations are enough to generate good looking traces. The diffusion model learns the pattern of the noise not the latent structure, so not as useful as VAE on this regard, but still fun.

Not a fan of UAW calling for strike for geopolitical issues. I sympathize the suffering of Palestinian people and Israeli civilians who were abducted, but I don't think this is something that UAW as a worker's union should get involved with, let alone pick a side.

Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Within an hour of starting interviews, I had the names of a 10-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl who had died because of decisions by wealthy men in
