That's awesome. All the best for the DECRA fellowship!

And yet not a single person in that photo is wearing a respirator. I guess, let's keep washing our hands for this airborne pathogen... /s

Oh FFS! What a failure by those in charge of preventing infections. Sadly, no surprise after the shitshow of the last almost 7yr.

A mathematics consortium has published a list of actions to address the use of AI in their field. It may be a good idea for @cvprconference.bsky.social @neuripsconf.bsky.social @iclr-conf.bsky.social and other ML, CV, NLP groups to work on a similar, cohesive proposal for our extended community.

Bluesky isn't a bubble or an echo chamber, it's a garden. You plant some seeds and pull some weeds, you tend to it with care, and you make it into a space that pleases you when you come to sit in it a while. Other people can plant and tend to their own gardens, if they like. This garden is yours.

A colorful riot of tulips and other flowers.

So much for supporting the translation of research into practice via industry-university projects... So much for the SERD report Ambitious Australia which calls for, checks notes, funding mechanisms that enables businesses to access Australian research capability in universities...

The #autumn colours in Canberra have moved on from red to orange-yellow now

Roland Goecke @rolaustral.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

I reckon that's by far the worst air quality reading in an Uber! With some drivers, you can try to reason and explain why that's terrible on multiple fronts. Others not. Needless to say that the N95 stayed on as it always does but I swear I had a headache after 20min in that Uber. #CleanAir

Similar to baked German cheesecakes but taken a lot further down the path of caramelisation

Roland Goecke @rolaustral.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

Looks like a Basque cheesecake to me. Made one recently

Photo of Basque cheesecake taken from a 45 degree angle. Showing deep brown shades of caramelisation, almost burnt.

Yep, definitely mild. A nothingburger really... /s

Roland Goecke @rolaustral.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

I mean once you go a lot higher, you can definitely tell the difference when cooking/baking but at ~1000m altitude, the differences are minimal in my experience

030

Roland Goecke @rolaustral.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

Well, 3500 feet (~1000m) isn't exactly high altitude. That's about the same altitude as the Blue Mountains or other parts of Australia's Great Dividing Range and I have baked plenty of cakes at that altitude in my life. That is not to say that high altitude wouldn't affect cooking/baking.
