OK, let's try something new. I'm not well connected because I'm bad at in person networking, and this is compounded by my decision to stop flying to conferences. So, can I use mastodon to find potential experimental colleagues who would like to work together?

Ideally for me, this would be people in Europe so I can visit by train, but it's not essential. I have some ideas for interesting projects and grant applications, and I'd love to develop those into concrete projects in close participation with experimental colleagues.

One of the main themes I'm interested in is how we can relate various neural mechanisms (e.g. inhibition, recurrence, nonlinear responses) to functions, using computational modelling to ask 'what if' questions that couldn't be answered by experiments alone.

I'm also interested in thinking about how we can use "information bottleneck" ideas to think more clearly about what computations networks of neurons are doing, going the next step beyond representing information to computing / discarding information.

A big question I'd like to answer is to find out how different brain regions work together in such a flexible and scalable way.

A technique I'm very excited about at the moment is using modern ML algorithms to train spiking neural networks at cognitively challenging tasks, making them directly comparable to both psychophysical and electrophysiological data.

Part of that could involve building in new mechanisms, like dendritic structure or neuromodulators into those networks and allowing the trained networks to make use of them in the best way possible.

I'd also love to build jointly motivated experimental and theoretical/synthetic datasets to test models against.

If any of that sounds interesting to you, take a look at some of my recent papers and get in touch. I'd love to hear from you.

Good(ish) news, everyone!

I got off my ass and set up a vhost on a different webserver for the (bare) practicalzfs.com. It just redirects to discourse.practicalzfs.com for the moment, but that's enough to give it its own SSL certificate so nobody who types in the barename gets a cert mismatch error.

Baby steps? :)

#NixOS 24.05 branch-off happened. Snuck in a small reformat of the python packages at the last minute.

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/313628

Currently, evaluations are running, nixos-24.05-small has already completed eval and is building.

https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixos/release-24.05-small

It will be mostly cached from nixos-unstable-small anyway, so its channel should be available within the next two hours.

Today is official launch for NGI , an initiative to develop ethical mobile software - and is part of it.

Together with projects like @e_mydata and @delta, we aim to tackle the issues that come from Big Tech companies dominating the industry, with support from researchers from @waag and others and funding from @EC_NGI

And if you are a developer that wants to contribute to this goal, there is funding for you as well via https://nlnet.nl/mobifree/, thanks to our friends at @NGIZero

Al tientallen jaren wordt de mobiele software-industrie gedomineerd door Big Tech bedrijven, wat leidt tot bezorgdheid over schending van privacy, milieu-impact en uitbuiting van arbeidskrachten. Het Mobifree project wil deze problemen aanpakken door de ontwikkeling van FOSS-software afgestemd op de waarden en behoeften van mobiele gebruikers. Meer weten?

One of the things I always wanted for the Linux Audit blog was more FAQ entries. Quickly find relevant commands or close enough to find alternatives, or read more about a particular tool. Man pages are great, but also they are not...

So with adding the 'iftop' command page today, adding this frequently asked question: How to see active connections and bandwidth usage?
