In the spirit of making lemonade from🍋🍋🍋this week, I’d like to find a venue that might publish a scholarly piece informed by personal experience on tech, governance, disability (lack of) accommodations, institutional wealth & DEI hypocrisy. It’d be partly historical but not something that would fit in a history journal. Maybe a journal interested in tech and politics or tech and power that covers multiple disciplines…(1/2)

Folks, I'm starting my post-#PhD job search low-key on the side while I write up my #thesis.

I have an odd collection of skills - #Linux, #Python, #Jupyter, #pandas, #DevRel, and I've done a lot of work in team leadership and management, and have led a multi-million $ not for profit in the past. Keynote speaker.

My speciality is #voice and #speech AI, more on the #ASR side with models like #Whisper.

I'm looking for something that harnesses all of these skills - and it will be a senior role with senior pay, given my experience, qualifications and proven capability. I have time and will be discerning about my next step.

Job titles that might fit here would be Senior Research Engineer, Engineering Lead, Lead AI Engineer or similar.

Looking for fully remote work, with one day a fortnight max in #Melbourne, AU. If you don't believe in #RemoteWork or #WFH, we're not a good fit.

Super keen on something full time rather than splitting my attention over multiple part-time roles.

Looking to start around August, so a fair amount of lead time.

Keen on organisations that have strong values alignment - #FAIR and #CARE data use, #EthicalAI, AI for social good.

No crypto, no web3, no deepfake stuff.

@shlee The purpose of a system is what it does. What's the purpose of the NBN?

@shlee 100% correct

You know the Rabbit R1 device was created by a bunch of male software nerds, because they named an electronic device "rabbit", non-ironically.

    In which I propose an integrated #academic #conference team to be established at #universities, to make the process of organising and running academic conferences much easier - and reduce the workload on #academics - who don't usually have event management as a core skill.

    One for the #HigherEd folks, or folks who do work with #conferences.

    I'm humbled and awed to be in the company of so many accomplished artists, researchers, practitioners, guardians, technologists and designers as part of the Fantastic Futures Conference Key Speakers lineup - presented by on behalf of the community.

    Peter-Lucas Jones, and the work of Media in preserving and protecting Indigenous speech data of is an effort I have long admired. Associate Professor Kirsten Thorpe's work at the Jumbunna Institute at University of Technology Sydney also centres on data sovereignty for Indigenous data, from an archival perspective.

    Eryk Salvaggio - @CyberneticForests - also an alum of the School of , like myself does incredible work in interrogating social and cultural impacts of , especially in .

    Kartini Ludwig's use of creativity at Kopi Su Studio to empower artists runs counter to the prevailing norm of scraping the internet to build and models.

    And Associate Professor Sydney Shep's trans-disciplinary work in book history and print culture, as well as her practice as a letterpress printer and bookbinder, is a fascinating exploration of how our cultural histories shape our futures.

    Together, we hope to convene conversations that help shape the future of and within the sector.

    Huge thank you to Keir Winesmith and @ingridbmason for the opportunity, and to Ashlinn H. who I know is doing incredible work behind the scenes.

    Question for other and - if you are submitting supplementary materials to a conference, such as a or @huggingface repo, how do you anonymize the repo so that the name of the repo or the repo owner does not violate the anonymity requirements?

    Is there a way to do this?

    Hey @ubuntu @ubuntusecurity when will be available for 22.04 LTS?

    My university requires FIPS compliance to connect to their VPN- Palo Alto Global protect.

    KathyReid,
    @KathyReid@aus.social avatar

    @ubuntusecurity @ubuntu thank you!

    That's helpful, but unfortunately doesn't solve the problem with Palo Alto VPN requiring FIPS certification - because it means I can't connect to Global Protect using 22.04 LTS and the uni service desk wants me to downgrade to 20.04 LTS (!) which I'm not going to do - because I'm running a CUDA / GPU stack ....

    sigh dependencies

    Thank you for responding!

    KathyReid,
    @KathyReid@aus.social avatar

    @beamflash @ubuntusecurity @ubuntu It's a security setting on Palo Alto Global Protect that someone has toggled because it's "more secure" :/

    I do not want to run a VM on top of my existing Ubuntu to connect to a VPN. This should be a lot easier than that ...

    KathyReid,
    @KathyReid@aus.social avatar

    @beamflash @ubuntusecurity @ubuntu excellent points
