Finally, an updated #introduction: Hello! From #Shanghai to #Montreal, now in #NewYorkCity. Master #student in #ComputerScience at #NYU Tandon, still struggling to figure out what I gonna do next. Gained notoriety for making Barinsta, now I hang out in #Matrix and ActivityPub circles and code stuff once in a while. Am a #FediAdmin. Fervent user of #PublicTransport. Knows too little of too many things. Posts are #SliceOfLife + minor commentaries. Happy to have an IRL #meetup with y'all!

Moving instances again so repeating my #introduction. Hello! #Stats & #ComputerScience #student at #McGill #University in #Montreal (I'd love to meet up with you!). From #Shanghai. Used to #code a lot (most notably Barinsta), not so much these days. Knows a bit of everything; jack of none. Supports #privacy #EthicalTech #PublicTransport et al. Loves #Japanese pop culture (#jpop, #railfanning and #manga / #anime). Posts too much #lunch. What else should I write here?

Time for a new #introduction I'm a #ComputerScience #PhD candidate at the #University of #Vermont (#UVM). There, I'm doing #AI and #ALife #research with Josh Bongard and many others. Themes include #evolution, #evolvability, innate #intelligence, #cells, #bodies, and #endosymbiosis. I believe #science should be open and accessible, so I write about my ideas on a #Wordpress #blog, review relevant #books on #Goodreads, and publish my source code on #Github (links in my profile). I'm passionate about #diversity, #socialjustice, #sustainability, #ethics, #philosophy, and all things #tech. In my personal life, I love #food, #cooking, #reading, #yoga, #hiking, #art, and #StarTrek. I worked for many years on #Google #Search as a #software #engineer, #techlead, and #manager. I used to be proud of that, but lately I have concerns. My favorite #programming language is #Python, but I know many more, and lately have been quite enjoying #CUDA #GPU programming in #cplusplus.

> #ComputerScience is a terrible name for this business. First of all, it's not a science.. It's also not really very much about computers.. in the same sense that physics is not.. about particle accelerators, and biology is not.. about microscopes and petridishes.. geometry is not .. about using surveying instruments.. #Geometry originally meant measuring the Earth or surveying.. it's very easy to confuse the essence of what you're doing with the tools that you use. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-001-structure-and-interpretation-of-computer-programs-spring-2005/resources/1a-overview-and-introduction-to-lisp/

Suppose I should redo my #introduction #introductions for all the new people coming to fedi.

Hi, I'm Calc! I run my own Misskey instance (which anyone is free to join). You can see all my links to other resources in my profile. I'm a... #artist, #computerscience major, #linux user, #sysadmin, #furry, and much more. I follow people I find cool! Feel free to follow me too :calc_smile_hearts:
