On my way to @ellisunitjena.bsky.social for the "AI for Earth and Climate Sciences" summer school 🚲🏞️🙌

Greetings from @jonathanwider.bsky.social at the Machine Learning Summer School, which is taking place at the @Universidad Católica San Pablo in Peru at an altitude of 2,300 meters. The summer school runs from 2 to 13 August and includes lectures by numerous renowned ML/AI researchers.

Heute gelernt: Die physikalischen Einheiten-Vorsätze kommen zum Teil aus dem Dänischen. Femten als dänisches Wort für 15 wurde zur Vorsilbe "Femto", wobei z.B. ein Femtometer 10 hoch minus 15 Meter sind. Analog bei atten, dänisches Wort für 18, ein Attometer sind 10 hoch minus 18 Meter.

Gestern war dieses Foto von André Kempner in der LVZ. In dem ersten Haus mit Erker rechts wohnten meine Großeltern und eine zeitlang auch ich. Wenn ich als Kind zu Besuch kam, stand meine Großmutter am Erkerfenster und winkte. Das war schön. Alle Häuser waren grau damals.

Interesting read despite the annoyingly clickbaity title

Das 1,5-Grad-Ziel ist gefährdet, wie aktuelle Berechnungen zeigen. Trotzdem rät Klimaforscher Emanuele Bevacqua, daran festzuhalten: Noch sei es möglich, die Erderwärmung zu verlangsamen.

Here's Twitter's descent since 2022

Tausende bei Kundgebung auf dem Leipziger Markt vor der CDU Zentrale. Menschen bauen #Brandmauer aus Kartons auf, rufen „alle zusammen gegen den Faschismus“. Reden von Einzelpersonen und Vertreter:innen von Flüchtlingsrat, Gewerkschaften, Kirche. #le3001

PhD opportunity at Bristol: "Machine Learning for Understanding Extreme Weather in a Changing Climate". Please share with potential applicants. Deadline is Jan 31 12:00. www.bristol.ac.uk/geography/co... www.bristol.ac.uk/media-librar...

I love everything in this thread (fun web toys that show the explosion that is happening in bsky)

Coming soon: I’ll be hiring a PhD candidate to explore regions in Germany disproportionately affected by floods & droughts, focusing on cross-sector impacts and using NLP-driven datasets #academicjobs

Strangers On A Bench Tom Rosenthal has spent the last 6 months walking the many parks of London, approaching random bench-dwellers and asking if he can sit next to them and record their chat. Leading to a wonderful, intimate conversation. shows.acast.com/strangers-on... #podcastrecommendations

In a gratuitous attempt to acquire more followers myself 😁, I've made a start on a "starter pack". Hopefully as more people from 🐦 make it over to 🦋, we can extend this a bit. Suggestions welcome! I've noticed not all accounts seem to be eligible to be added, anyone know what's up with that? 🤔

Welcome to all the Bluesky newbies! We've created a starter pack of compound events and multi hazard researchers and groups. Please send through suggestions for who else to add to the list go.bsky.app/Cy8PZju

Hey there 👋 If you want to do phd within the intersection between Earth Science and Machine Learning. There is an opportunity to do it with me now: it-u.at/en/study-pro...

A preprint I’ve been working on together with Olivier Pasche, Zhongwei Zhang, @zscheischlerjak.bsky.social, and Sebastian Engelke is out: arxiv.org/abs/2404.17652. We compared ML-based weather models and ECMWF’s HRES in case studies on 3 recent high-impact extreme events! Summary & a few thoughts 🧵👇
