How empires fall:

@kagihq Wow, this looks interesting. Does it work like google #scholar, listing only publications/preprints? What sources are indexed? Many researchers are looking for alternatives to google scholar..

@notjustbikes nice! Same issue in #Copenhagen btw https://github.com/mszell/sciencememes?tab=readme-ov-file#2023-08-google-maps-car-brained-routing

I’m launching #QwastTube: a #PeerTube‑based, privacy‑friendly alternative to my YouTube channel.
If you care about digital sovereignty and open‑source GIS, this is for you.

I’m still importing videos, but it’s already live:

👉 https://videos.qwast-gis.com

YouTube will stay in sync for now, but I hope you’ll join me on the fediverse.

@jankamensky Deine Videos sind super-cool, auch für die Wissenschaft! ❤️ https://youtu.be/yGW2TsV-LDA?si=5dEay-1rdnafyOqT&t=509

We are very pleased to announce the release of pandas 3.0.0! 🚀🥳

This major release brings some exciting new features, including:
- a new default string data type
- consistent copy/view behaviour
- changed default resolution for datetime data
- initial support for pd.col() syntax
- ...
alongside many other improvements and bug fixes. But those also come with some potentially breaking changes.

@ai6yr Be aware that such bot sign-up messages sometimes are tailored to reference the instance and its focus, see image, which can be harder to detect than a general-purpose template. #mastoadmin

Ich habe mir diese Woche den dreiteiligen #ARTE Dokumentarfilm von Cédric Tourbe über den amerikanischen Kapitalismus angesehen:

"Reichtum als Kult"

https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/103517-001-A/kapitalismus-made-in-usa-reichtum-als-kult-1-3

Wirklich sehenswert für alle, die verstehen wollen, warum der heutige Wahnsinn keine Anomalie, sondern die logische Konsequenz einer Weltsicht ist, die grundsätzlich durch Gier, Ungleichheit und Klassenkampf von oben herab getrieben wird.

New package: gwlearn (because I just can't help myself I guess)

It provides a framework for geographically weighted modeling by bridging scikit-learn with libpysal. You can basically wrap standard sklearn estimators (regression or classification) to make them spatially explicit using local weights. What is super cool, is that you can define your own neighbourhoods and fit models across those, breaking the Euclidean distance cage.

@christianp Nice, just made a similar post inspired by yours. It's good if more #mastoadmin s make a collective effort at this.

My posts are currently mirrored across to bluesky by brid.gy. Not sure I will continue, due to bluesky welcoming #ICE.

For people on bluesky who see this and want a place that doesn't encourage fascism: Have a look at https://datasci.social

Nice to see important research on the both most important and neglected mode of transport 🚶

"In China, driverless delivery vans have become a total meme, they plow through crumbling roads, fresh concrete, motorcycles, anything. Nothing stops them."

Finally it's here: Jupyter notebooks inside QGIS. I don't know about you but I've been hoping for someone to get around to doing this for quite a while.
