Yesterday I sneaked into a #hacktoon event, hack-the-paradise, part of the #smart-#city-#projekt in @jenalichtstadt, smartcity.jena.de/smart-city…, where I did a small pitch on how public transport monitoring could look like. Using my usual tools, @MakiePlots and @JuliaLanguage :D

Paris: Schafft 60.000 Parkplätze ab Oslo: Innenstadt ist parkplatzfrei Amsterdam: 11.200 Parklätze im Zentrum fallen weg Mailand: Schafft 750km geschützte Radwege bis 2035 Berlin: CDU stoppt alle Radverkehrsprojekte bei denen 1 Fahrspur oder 1 Parkplatz wegfallen könnte.

Open Source Software und Wissenschaft könnten kaum besser zusammen passen – dennoch wird nur ein Bruchteil des Codes in der Forschung unter offenen Lizenzen veröffentlicht. Wir haben uns mal umgehört, warum Forscher*innen FOSS entwickeln. 🧑‍🔬🧑‍💻 prototypefund.de/transparent…

So not only on NVIDIA GPUs, now we can also run on AMD GPUs! By just swapping the array type (Array for CPU, CuArray for NVIDIA, or ROCArray for AMD), the solver can run on practically any device 🤯
This has been great!! Impressive to be able to run on any backend seamlessly 😲 Can't wait to get this further (ie multi-GPU) and to tackle CFD+ML in this single framework 😁

How has Twitter changed for climate scientists since Elon Muck bought it? Fewer active scientists, fewer tweets, fewer likes per tweet, fewer retweets per tweet, and less likely to go viral. A thread with some data. 🧵

Again - much thanks to the developers of CUDA.jl, KernelAbstractions.jl for the high-level interfaces and Makie.jl for the fast 3D visualizations. That's @maleadt @vchuravy @SimonDanisch and many others.

Using segment-anything from #facebookresearch and @MakiePlots to create a little interactive segmentation UI for anything Makie can plot... E.g. zoomable satellite data with github.com/MakieOrg/Tyler.jl The code (prototype status): github.com/SimonDanisch/Maki…

See the final agenda, for #MakieCon, bgc-jena.mpg.de/5632072/maki…. Note, that although we have several talks, the second most important part of the event is the exchange of ideas between users and developers, and of course among developers as well. Note the Hackathons's slots :smile:

We're really happy to announce a Geo visualization track for #MakieCon23 :) Looking forward to have this area much more polished in Makie!

Asteroid Impact - 66 Million Years Ago. The next 48 hours after impact. #tsunami #now #Yucatán #Mexico. You can also explore this using #JuliaLang @JuliaLanguage and #makie @MakiePlots . See #code (simplified version) beautiful.makie.org/dev/exti…

If you are starting a new #code course in #julialang, don't forget to plot your #data with @MakiePlots. Take a look at beautiful.makie.org/dev/ to get you started.

We’re hiring neuroscientists! Please apply if you’re interested in translational science and applying machine learning to massive EEG datasets to drive next-generation precision therapies for brain disorders like epilepsy, major depression and Alzheimer’s. boards.greenhouse.io/beaconb…
For those angry at the VanGogh @JustStop_Oil action, here’s real scientists and doctors protesting outside Shells offices. It will get no media coverage at all. This is how it’s almost always been for the last 35 years since NASA warned we were dangerously heating the planet
“We all want to stay alive” @ScientistsX and @DoctorsXr are staging a die-in outside Shell’s HQ - calling for an end to fossil fuels. @LBC

I can't believe I've never implemented (or seen) this feature before 😳 🎇 Shader Refactoring Mode 🎇 Captures a reference image + GPU timings, then highlights visual and perf diffs upon shader changes. No more "😭 I accidentally broke something 2h ago" when refactoring 🥳
