iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Do you mean real drummers? I do think machine music has influenced drummers to innovate in really interesting ways, e.g. JD Beck as a current example

I've definitely seen instances of people new to creative mediums referring to things they've generated with prompts as 'my art'. I think what they're closer to is curators, and that curatorial skill is usually developed alongside the creative one (choosing ideas, throwing away bad ones)

Exciting! Hope the booth goes well 😉

Noticed different sentiment between arts, STEM, education etc surrounding machine learning & AI. How about a bit of word association? interested in adjectives for any/all of: - AI: ___ - Generative AI: ___ - LLMs: ___ - ChatGPT: ___ - Machine Learning: ___ 🧪🔭⚛️🐡🐙 #art #artsci #musicianfeed #EduSky

Just realised Peterborough united have scored and conceded the most goals in league 1 this season excepting leaders Wycombe and last-place Shrewsbury, respectively. Just about sums it up - still good win this weekend #pufc

A nuanced issue fs, but definitely one worth bringing to light!

A potential issue I see, though, is further encouraging a wide-shallow mode of applications, which makes more work for everyone and I think is more likely to lead to a mismatch between people and positions (e.g. 'a' and 'b' ending up in each others ideal positions...)

I think randomisation is the only way to fully remove bias - though ofc must be mindful that this can cut both ways.

"i liked them before they were observed" such a gem of an album though

👀 did you have to change the ssh alive interval or count settings for this to be usable?

Check out this article from STFC about our sonification of astronomical data, and beyond! including a new sonification at the end - perceive multi-scale information about galaxy formation in our cosmological simulations... 🧪🔭⚡🐡. medium.com/big-science-...

The sound of silence: how sound brings space to life

The vacuum of space is famously silent, but what if you were able to use sound to help you visualise the Universe? What would a black hole…

soon we'll be able to cut researchers out of the publishing process entirely

Hey! Could I be added as a contributor? I work on astronomy but also science communication and sonification - I was recommended to post to the feed.

...this uses a raspberry pi and some addressable LEDs along with our STRAUSS code for the sound (www.audiouniverse.org/research/str...) . Phone video doesn't capture it - but want to develop for our next outreach event, with tactile elements (see, hear, touch). Lmk if you have ideas! 🔭🧪⚛️ #philsci

... we can see (hear!) how the a stellar population may tell us about it's age. A young population appears blue as massive and hot bright stars dominate, but as these age stars die and we're left with a dim, red population. Galaxy colours tell us about their formation histories (cred. in alt) 🔭...

Progress! Star lives with sonification 🌟🔉. Models colour evolution from 0.3-150 sun masses. A higher note indicates higher main sequence temperature, shifting with post-MS temperature pre-death. They go 'bang' if they then go supernova or 'whoosh' if they blow out to leave a white dwarf. 🌌🔭🧪💽🐡...

cool! In the ear of the beholder I think- though you could try putting the output through an autotune plug in - this kind of setup could be useful for some of the interactive astro sonification work I'm doing with raspberry pis...

James Trayford @trayford.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

no worries! mainly just keen to be able to post to it!

James Trayford @trayford.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Hey, I was keen to be added to the Science feed to share some broader recent work - I couldn't get hold of the moderator for my subfield - but wondered if you could add me as an moderator? researchportal.port.ac.uk/en/persons/j...

James Trayford @trayford.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

Hey! I'm James, an astrophysicist. I have a background in galaxy formation and cosmology, but also new data methods like sonification. Really grateful if you could add me to the Science 🧪 feed! orcid.org/0000-0003-15...

Hey, I'm an astronomer but I've been working on GB Row project (www.port.ac.uk/sites/defaul...) surveying the UK coast and data analysis and might have some useful things to post if I can be added
