Should I try out @heyputer.bsky.social for coding projects and deploying stuff? Is it as good as having it done locally? Asking for a friend.

Did a thing. Wrote a python pipeline to help me identify segmentation errors based on biological morphometry and mathematical heuristics. Saliency map turned out great. Used genus=1 to identify any tiny errors. Now instead of eyeballing, I just need to focus on the flagged list. Not bad for a start!

The thing is, why is a PhD student the FIRST AUTHOR on a consortium paper?!
Reeks of academic bureaucracy BS if you ask me. https://x.com/RetractionWatch/status/2011831355953344708

4th gen synchrotrons’ capabilities for ptychographic imaging of biological soft tissue is next level crazy. Insane symposium so far at @thecrick
Makes me wonder what will become of 3rd gen researchers and those who do correlative imaging.
