Finally managed to move my account from mastodon.social to the fediscience instance. This process was much more easy and forward then the last time I started trying (don't remember when exactly, probably a few years?).
Apparently a few followers were lost along the way, that's probably due to […]
Personally, the week in Munich at the #SnakemakeHackathon2026 was really neat. I met friends and acquaintances, took the time to meet an old friend of mine not working in academia any more and the wonderful @FrankSonntag from #FediScience association.
And now, tired, on my way back. Thanks to […]
I do have some #FediScience flyers with me. Wish me luck convincing people of the benefits of the #fediverse !
TopicWatchdog – Week 3: KMeans worked, but cluster IDs kept jumping across retrains. This week I added a Python BERTopic stage with a BigQuery registry → stable topic IDs!

TopicWatchdog (Week 2)
Move beyond string matching: cluster political topics from German shorts with embeddings + KMeans in BigQuery ML.

My Mastodon instance #fediscience is incorporating as a non-profit in Garmany. I just joined up. https://about.fediscience.org/membership.html
How about we try to enforce some kind of ‘Polarization Tax’?
Concept was mentioned during keynote on ‘AI and democracy’ by Lawrence Lessig (@lessig) and Moshe Vardi ( @vardi) at this event:

I Like Electric Cars. 700-Mile Range EVs and Wireless Charging Would Make Me Love Them.
[S]olid-state batteries have can get 600 to 700 miles per single charge, instead of the current 250 to 400 or so. That is farther than most traditional cars can go on a […]

Tomorrow? Trip to Dresden. Towards a course, I give about reproducible computing with #Snakemake on #HPC clusters.
I will take a few #FediScience flyers with me. Just in case someone is interested in #OpenScience communication, here on #Mastodon. 😉
