Now @gomezgardenes.bsky.social giving a really cool invited talk about metapopulation and diseases spreading with application to control polices.

Different countries, several scientific backgrounds, one aim: Understanding the complexity of nature!

foda cara a existência desse desocupado que fica tocando trompete o jair desestabiliza demais kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk o cidadão sexta feira de manhã está DISPONÍVEL pra ir na pf tocar uma corneta pra vagabundo tem que admirar

Comic. The Three Types of Unsolved Physics Problem (First panel) Vague. PERSON [next to curved diagram] What is the nature of time in quantum gravity? Is it a background parameter, a dynamic aspect of spacetime, or an emergent phenomenon? (Second panel) Precise. PERSON 2 with short hair [device with equation below: 71Ga + νe → 71Ge + e- .] Why does the *S.A.G.E.* Gallium Neutrino Capture Experiment produce only 75% as much germanium as predicted? (Third panel) Cursed. PERSON 3 with white hat [rectangular block with hairs growing out of it labeled Zinc Whiskers] Why does some metal randomly grow hairs? It keeps causing short circuits and we have no idea what’s going on. OFF-PANEL: Is this a joke? PERSON 3: No! Please help!

Unsolved Physics Problems

Coisas que o governo dos EUA exigiria para o Brasil eliminar:

- sanduíche de pernil em porta de estádio (prática desleal contra o McDonald's)

- vacinação gratuita no SUS (prática desleal contra a big pharma)

- Bolsa Família (prática desleal contra distribuição de cupons em supermercados)

Did you know that in Brazil we can do money transfers instantly, without taxes, between any banks, just using your smartphone? It's a system called PIX, it was created by our government and now the US government is attacking it claiming it's unfair to big US credit card companies

Os caras lá nos Estados Unidos mandando cheque pelos correios e vem falar mal do Pix

Nem todo herói usa roupa

a graph showing the top US imports from Brazil, with Crude Oil, Refined Petroleum Products, Coffee, Aircraft, and Semifinished Iron/Steel being the top by dollar value and semifinished Iron/Steel, Pig Iron, Chemical Woodpulp, Fruit/Nut Juices, and Coffee being highest by %

Trump's 50% tariffs on Brazilian imports would hit ~$42B goods, including 75% of pig iron imports, 30% of juice imports, 20% of coffee imports, & 10% of aircraft imports—ridiculous to make this stuff more expensive, especially since so much of it *literally can't grow here*

"The myth of meritocracy in science collapses under the financial sacrifices expected at every career stage. From unpaid internships and self-funded conferences to underpaid positions, these hidden costs disproportionately exclude those without generational wealth, compounded by race and gender."

In view of the public statement by the American president Donald Trump presented on a social network this Wednesday afternoon (9), it is important to emphasize: Brazil is a sovereign country with independent institutions that will not accept being tutored by anyone. The judicial process against those who planned the coup d'état is the sole responsibility of the Brazilian Judiciary and, therefore, is not subject to any kind of interference or threat that undermines the independence of national institutions. In the context of digital platforms, Brazilian society rejects content involving hate, racism, child pornography, scams, fraud, and speech against human rights and democratic freedom. In Brazil, freedom of expression is not to be confused with aggression or violent practices. To operate in our country, all national and foreign companies are subject to Brazilian legislation. It is false information, in the case of the commercial relationship between Brazil and the United States, regarding the alleged American deficit. Statistics from the United States government itself confirm a surplus of that country in the trade of goods and services with Brazil in the amount of 410 billion dollars over the last 15 years. In this sense, any measure to increase tariffs unilaterally will be responded to in light of Brazil's Law of Economic Reciprocity. The respect and intransigent defense of the interests of the Brazilian people are the values that guide our relationship with the world.

About that letter from Trump- Lula responds. "In Brazil, freedom of expression is not to be confused with aggression or violent practices. To operate in our country, all national and foreign companies are subject to Brazilian legislation."

A primeira coisa que a imprensa deveria fazer é deixar claro pras pessoas que “o Trump impôs uma tarifa” significa que os produtos vão ficar mais caros pros estadunidenses que comprarem, não pra nós. Mas ela não vai fazer isso.

Sorry I don't have OCR on my PC and don't have time to type this dumb letter out by hand rn

The United States is seeking to steal the sovereignty of Brazil, there's really no other way to describe this. It's an effort to overthrow their domestic political institutions.

Louco como no auge da era da informação ela está cada vez mais inacessível, agora enterrada.

Usando mais de um buscador – não consulto informação em LLM, LLM não é fonte de informação – todos os resultados em texto são gerados por LLM e estão errados, distorcendo a informação do site do fabricante.

Tá na hora do Brasil exportar o Pix pra transferências internacionais, pois puta merda, que dificuldade

Quanto menos você conhece o assunto, quanto menos você consegue checar o resultado, maior a probabilidade de erros absurdos passarem batido.

Mas o tom do resultado será o mesmo tom de certeza independentemente de quem o solicitou ao gerador de lero-lero e passou adiante.

Isso é o caos cognitivo.

Espanha sem luz: caos, sofrimento, desespero

Brasil sem luz: sair cedo do trabalho, felicidade, churrasco (beber rápido pra não esquentar a cerveja)

I’m having a positive experience teaching modern Fortran, including OOP, in the undergraduate Physics program.

Last semester, I taught a course on modern scientific computing with GitHub, Fortran, and Python. A lot has changed in recent years, especially thanks to the fortran-lang.org community.

👇#Fortran is not dead. It updates, improves, and stays relevant especially in scientific computing where raw performance matters.

It may not be the prettiest language (in fact it is) , but it’s robust, fast, and efficient. It gets the job done without drama.

‘A place of joy’: why scientists are joining the rush to Bluesky Researchers say the social-media platform — an alternative to X — offers more control over the content they see and the people they engage with.: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03784-6

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

A Place of Joy.

Rob Wallace, no maravilhoso "pandemia e agronegócio", no primeiro print . Mike Davis em "o monstro bate à nossa porta: a ameaça global da gripe aviária, publicado em 2005, no segundo print.

existe uma preocupação real de um grupo de cientistas de que estamos perto de uma próxima pandemia, nesse caso de H5N1 (gripe aviária). E a ironia disso é que provavelmente o maior culpado disso vai ser os EUA pelo método de produção e de controle sanitário deficiente deles em função do lucro!

Sofri com várias situações similares e outras piores durante meu doutorado. Eu entrei em depressão profunda e quase não estou hoje aqui para contar a história.
Às vezes acho quase um milagre eu estar onde estou, mas foi com muita luta, então sinto muito orgulho.
