ok, I am now over 1k followers (!!!) and have a new job, so new pinned post: hi! I'm Erick. I just started work as the new Data Management Coordinator in the Data Science Centre at EMBL. Most of my work is on open-source tools to help people manage their data. Glad to have you here!

Congrats Miri!

Erick Ratamero @erickratamero.com · 2d

Applications are open until 12/10 for both positions, so you might need to hurry :) I think these are both very exciting - and as a bonus (or a malus) your office space would probably be right next door to me!

My former team at JAX sent two people to SciPy this year and they teamed up to teach a workshop on scaling-up deep learning inference to large-scale bioimage data - it's finally on youtube! if you need an intro to the dask/zarr world, this is a great starting point. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCWu...

(now more seriously it fucking rules when you say stuff and people actually listen and think your opinion is Important. Big fan of getting old in general)

Woke up at 5:30 (really feel like I'm getting old) and did what any normal person would before work: setting up a (internet-facing) jellyfin server on my VPS that still uses my local storage as a backend. So now I can listen to all my music and watch all my stuff from anywhere, no VPN needed!

I don't think this is new to anyone here, but our brains are really bad at dealing with raw, unfiltered randomness.

Erick Ratamero @erickratamero.com · 13d

I think what this does to your brain is pretty incredible. No matter how "rational" you think you are, the doubts creep in. Superstitions start to emerge. "what if this is not ACTUALLY random?". It's amazing.

Sometimes a game can just be flipping a biased coin thousands of times until you get 10 heads in a row. store.steampowered.com/app/3925760/...

Unfair Flips on Steam

A non-idle clicker game about flipping a coin that hates you. Starting with just a 20% chance of getting heads, can you get ten heads in a row?
