China short term visa exemption to Brazil leading to massive surge in flight search 😊🇧🇷🇨🇳

Tânia Maria has been catapulted to fame for her 11-minute role in Brazil’s four Oscar-nominated movie “The Secret Agent.” The 79-year-old newcomer has drawn praise from international film critics, and amassed more than 100,000 social media followers in just months.

I enjoyed my visit to U. Würzberg (thanks to host S. Kounev) where I gave a talk covering agents for scientific discovery, Academy agent framework, and agency as new organizing abstraction for CS agents4science.github.io/Assets/wurzb...

Qual a chance de voltar pra um SMS...?

Twenty-five years ago, Wikipedia was an unlikely idea: a place where anyone could share free knowledge. Today, it’s one of the most visited sites on Earth, not powered by corporate ads, but by people.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains.

For those who celebrate 🎄🎅

IBM has shut down many of its non-US research labs (reportedly Brazil, Japan, Canada). Pretty sad movement, and sign of the times we're living in...

New piece w/ James Evans in Science explores what we call 'science after science', an era where our ability to control nature may exceed our ability to understand it; a new struggle to sustain curiosity & understanding under AI's predictive dominance. #ai #science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Ilya Sutskever "Three lines of math can prove all of supervised learning. That's nice" (4:33) "I have not seen an exposition of unsupervised learning that I found satisfying" (7:50) Its optimization objective has little relation to the actual objective you care about Watch: buff.ly/Bnvazym

Is that (happy) day, again. A nice collaboration with Wen Zhuo ☺️ #paperalert 🚨🚨🚨 🧪 Title: Exploring causal pathways among soil moisture, #climate and ocean–atmosphere #teleconnection patterns over the drought-prone Greater Horn of Africa bit.ly/4olvejZ

Alô @itamaratygovbr.bsky.social . Vocês poderiam dar uma força ao pedir para que as páginas do governo - que já indicam algum suporte - estivessem traduzidas para o inglês. Facilita muito ao compartilhar informações públicas, sem incorrer em risco de tradução errada (ex. Google Tradutor).

Thank you @pnas.org for the gifts, and most importantly, the invitation to participate on the #PNAS ECR workshop. It is a nice gesture to include ECRs in the journal planning activities, and listening to our questions (that sometimes is hard to have the courage to send it out 😅).

We have exciting news! #CI2026 will be hosted by the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), in the period of April 27-30, 2026. More information in Tom Beucler's post: www.linkedin.com/posts/tom-be...

Via meu amigo, Prof. Tiago de Paula, da Faculdade SESI-SP, essa grande palestra do @atila.bsky.social sobre comunicação científica no Brasil, em especial com o público jovem. Basicamente descobri que esse pessoal não está aqui (sorry @bsky.app ). Interessantíssimo. www.youtube.com/live/srJXTvr...

Quando o Ministro Luiz Fux fala hoje que ninguém usou arma de fogo. Rojão qualifica? Hoje é um dia triste pra polícia do @senado.leg.br que teve que encarar uma turba sozinha. O Ministro precisa se sensibilizar mais com quem esteve em risco de morte, e não por golpistas. youtu.be/bdxfN0CFVsQ?...

Dia de terapia. Mais cedo , conversando com meus pais, ao perguntarem como me sentia hoje: "Meio que como o #SPFC. Classificado nas quartas de final da Libertadores. Mas lutando pra não ser rebaixado no brasileirão". Final de doutorado é duro.

Kitsch?

It's the last day of our colleague, Dr. Wen Zhuo (center), who just finished his postdoctoral fellowship and is now returning to China. Thanks, Wen, for the collaboration; I learned a lot from you.

The worse thing is when you use #SHAP to generate graphics of covariate interactions, and your allocation on the supercomputer gets timeout, and then you are back to the queue 😞

Volkswagen participated in one of the world’s first grand experiments in globalization half a century ago, partnering with Brazil’s authoritarian regime to develop the Amazon — and pressing poor, unwitting workers into service in the distant rainforest. wapo.st/3GQLucu

Yay, good news! If you have expertise in Climate Science or ML/AI, please read below about my project "From sparse data to full spatio-temporal fields: surface ocean carbon and beyond" and get in touch! I'll be recruiting in the Fall for a post-bacc, a postdoc, and possibly a grad student. 🌊

I’m very pleased to announce that a preview of the 3rd Edition of Deep Learning with R is now available! mng.bz/X7xa The book is 50% off through July 8!

So, someone at @mcmasteruniversity.bsky.social grad studies sent an email to a graduate student list that contains THE ENTIRETY of all campus graduate students, and not in BCC. The list also allows ANYONE to send an e-mail to all... 197 messages so far 🫢 #HamOnt

North Chicago brings me fond memories. Lived some of my best years in Lakeview East, a place I miss a lot.

I lived through two J1 applications, and it’s quite accurate…

@alemugonsamo.bsky.social‘s lab reunited to celebrate the successful M.Sc. defence of Kangyu So 😊 We wish you all the best!

Vi por acaso que o apartamento que morei em Brasília entrou pra alugar. Caí de costas que em 4 anos, o aluguel subiu 30%. Assim, teve pandemia e inflação, mas é absurdo. E com certeza o meu antigo emprego não ia acompanhar nem de perto esse aumento…

This is a very sad picture to see. I have met several researchers from NASA GISS, talented people working in important research problems. Now, with the new budget, it seems all gone. What (another) bad move from the US government.

I took a #cardio stress test today. The last time was around 8 years ago. I walked fast but haven't actually run. Recently, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. Should I be concerned if the test was finished early?

Feliz dia aos colegas!
