We trained an ML classifier on 107,875 transients from 1949-1957 Palomar plates to filter out plate defects. Turns out the real ones avoid Earth’s shadow/clusters around nuclear tests. Either something reflective was in Earth orbit a decade before Sputnik, or dust on a glass plate has really strong opinions about nuclear weapons. arxiv.org/abs/2604.18799 @DrBeaVillarroel @esaagar @AlchemyAmerican @joerogan #VASCO #science #astro

First of its kind? New feature in Ghostty: a web-inspector-style "terminal inspector" targeted at CLI, TUI developers. Built right into the terminal, you can see a live view of terminal state, keyboard events, escape sequences, and much much more. 👻💖 Video tour below. Similar to Firebug with Firefox, I'm hoping this helps usher in a new era of develop-ability for terminal applications by making it much much easier to understand what is going on. When the inspector is not in use, there is no perceivable performance impact (benchmarks show the same). When the inspector is in use, the terminal it is inspecting slows down to about half speed due to the overhead. But this only impacts the terminal being inspected. This is a really early version of the inspector. The data organization is kind of messy, its mostly read-only information right now, and there is a lot more information I want to surface. The next step is making a lot of this data read-write so you can actually modify the terminal live (similar to modifying HTML/CSS live in a web inspector) to trial-and-error some changes. This is just the beginning. 😎 Follow along Ghostty development here: mitchellh.com/ghostty

Feel it’s challenging to analyze a large neuroimaging dataset in a reproducible way? Check out our latest preprint of BABS! BABS is a user-friendly and generalizable Python package📦for reproducible image processing at scale. doi.org/10.1101/2023.08.16.5… 🧵 1/n

Thanks to the 60 people who, over the last week, expressed their interest in a first conference on decentralized data management, DataLad, and git-annex! The meeting will take place April 18-20 next year in Düsseldorf, Germany!
We started planning a first meeting for everyone interested in DataLad and git-annex in the first half of 2024! If you find that as exhilarating as we do, head over to forms.gle/Fc14HK1Ter9ue7dR7 and help us shape the event. Exciting!!

Development update ahead of the coming second release of @datalad Gooey. After three additional weeks, we have more features, more convenience and a more robust core. Take a look at this little thread of video demos... 1/9
One month of intense work, and now there is a GUI for DataLad! docs.datalad.org/projects/go… It works across all platforms, and should provide a more gentle introduction to data management with @datalad #RDM Thanks to Laura, Christian, Michał, @AdinaKrik @fmrwhy @SurfaceBen

Wir spenden der gematik ein paar Zeilen Code im Wert von 400.000.000€ Wetten, dass die Hersteller lieber das deutsche Gesundheitssystem plündern, statt die einfache, kostengünstige Lösung umzusetzen? Die 400Mio gehen dann in ihre Tasche. ccc.de/de/updates/2022/konne…

The #FAIR4RS principles (for research software) have been published, and frankly, the paper is a disappointment. Not because of what is in it, but because of what is not. A monster thread... 1/ nature.com/articles/s41597-0…

Morgen um 15 Uhr gibt es mich (in deutsch) bei #WissenschaftOnline des @fz_juelich. Zusammen mit Kollegen aus den Ingenieurswissenschaften und der Verwaltung geht's um all-things #Forschungsdatenmanagement, inkl. dem vom @fzj_inm7: fz-juelich.de/de/ueber-uns/k… Gern weitersagen!

No, @github, nuking a user and removing all history they ever had on the site, as if it hadn't exist, doesn't only effect that user, it screws over random unrelated projects that the user contributed to.

What is visible on the surface is a fraction of what Gooey is aiming for. The hand-crafted UI is a tuned variant of the auto-generated ones it can provide for any @datalad command. Extensions can provide their own. E.g. an integrated environment for metadata curation is next.
One month of intense work, and now there is a GUI for DataLad! docs.datalad.org/projects/go… It works across all platforms, and should provide a more gentle introduction to data management with @datalad #RDM Thanks to Laura, Christian, Michał, @AdinaKrik @fmrwhy @SurfaceBen

Today is the culmination of the most intense development sprint on @datalad yet. Stay tuned for updates!

@heiseonline und @ctmagazin apellieren an @Karl_Lauterbach: Teuren Konnektortausch im Gesundheitswesen verhindern. Es geht um unnötige Kosten von 400 Mio. € zu Lasten der Krankenkassen, weil die @gematik1 güstigere Lösungen abblockt. heise.de/-7243806

Don't miss all the @datalad posters today and tomorrow @ohbm! Magnificent work from my talented colleagues @AdinaKrik ("FAIRly big workflow") and Laura Waite ("A data steward walks into a bar"). And come talk to me about "DataCat"!

Approaching the end of day 2, we can now git-push to, and git-clone from a @dataverseorg instance, using @datalad tooling. Fantastic teamwork with @j_ernsting @SurfaceBen @redgreenblues @AdinaKrik @Jadecci @k_sarink @MoreShammi @NadineSpychala @nicolaisen_eli ! #OHBMbrainhack
Phase 1 of the project is completed. We have a working minimal draft of a git-annex special remote for @datalad for storing and retrieving files with @dataverseorg !! Thanks all! Two half days and we made it! #OHBMbrainhack

Exciting times at #OHBMbrainhack! We're creating github.com/datalad/datalad-d…, a @datalad extension to integrate with @dataverseorg. With great on-site interactions with @j_ernsting everyone tagged below, and virtual contributions from @SurfaceBen and @redgreenblues, and many more!

#OHBM2022 has started in its virtual form, and 2k posters are online. Here are some #OpenScience and #RDM related ones that introduce some of our recent work on tools and procedures in this area at @fzj_inm7.
