HacksAudio : La personnalité et ses 5 traits, un concept inutile ? [PP8] - Hacking social
J'ai pris au vol cette excellente série de @Hackingsocial sur les #traits de #personnalité et la notion-même de personnalité. Je vous la recommande chaudement pour mieux comprendre le rôle que peut jouer la #psychologiesociale dans nos approches des #réseauxsociaux et de ce qu'ils nous font.
Photoblog: “Comparing 𝑀𝑦𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑐𝑎 𝑟𝑢𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑑𝑖𝑠 populations between dolines and surrounding areas in Hungary", Bonita Ratkai give us an inside about her research on variation among populations of 𝑀𝑦𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑐𝑎 𝑟𝑢𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑑𝑖𝑠 in dolines.
Every so often I'm struck and surprised by how enduring some of my #traits are. #Subconscious patterns, right?
I wore the #purple #bunny ears to #school on the last day of my high school career, as they call it, when I was 17.
I wore the #pink #unicorn hat to my friends' farewell gathering circa 2014 when we were about 29.
On both occasions - and true to form - I, of course, took #photos of everyone else wearing the #silly props too.
Are ecological processes that select #beneficial #traits in #agricultural #microbes nature’s #intellectual_property rights?

#Personality #Traits in #LargeLanguageModels. The advent of large language models (#LLMs) has revolutionized #naturallanguageprocessing, enabling the generation of coherent and contextually relevant text. We find that: 1) #personality simulated in the #outputs of some LLMs (under specific prompting configurations) is reliable and valid https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.00184
That being said, I'm actually among the perverts that are fascinated by #templateMetaProgramming (even though I'm well aware of its limitations pertaining readability and maintainability). Which is why I took @tess venting as an opportunity to challenge myself into writing a workable approach to generic properties for C++ objects with a common interface:
Do you think you're self-aware?
If a post contains one or more typos, misspellings, &/or other grammatical errors, how does this impact the likelihood of you favoriting or boosting it, if at all? BONUS QUESTION: If you answered, "Decreases likelihood," are you, by chance, a professional writer or editor? ;)
You walk into a room & take a seat behind a large wooden desk. You hear the door lock click into place. In front of you is a single piece of paper & pen. A disembodied voice announces over a loudspeaker that you have 10 minutes to make use of the paper & that your results will determine whether you live or die. What will you do with the piece of paper?
Are you #botanist or field #ecologist and interested to do your graduation thesis (#bachelor or #master) or an #internship in great scenery, on a hot topic and in cool climate (so far)? We look for field assistance in the #Dachstein #glacier forefields to study plant #traits and #succession this summer. More information here:

Please boost!
New lab paper alert:
Trait-based ecology is not yet predictive because the proliferation of new metrics muddied the waters.
Where others zig, we zag.
We propose testing old theories with new data.
We advocate for the ubiquitous power law and argue environmental variability in space and time fundamentally shapes trait variation.
Keep an eye out for Umaña led paper where we provide an empirical test.
Glad to join Mastodon! I am a #PhDstudent in #ecology and I work on the consequences of
#invasivespecies on terrestrial #vertebrates at a macroecological scale.
My daily work consists in #rstat coding and #data handling, but also in many chats with my colleagues from the BIOM team at ESE lab.
Looking forward to more scientific networking on this platform!

To improve the implementation and testing of trait-based theory, we clarify four mechanistic steps needed to scale from traits to ecosystems. These steps are based on core trait-based theory. Taken together, these steps explicitly detail the linkages between the environment, traits, communities, and ecosystem functioning #TraitBasedEcology #Traits #FunctionalEcology #Scaling #Ecosystem (3/n)
A little sample of our 7 million plus #herbarium specimens at Kew & a reminder that #botany is beautiful - in the preserved collection, as well as in the field
As well as our core support for #Taxonomy #Traits #Conservation research & #PlantHumanities many of the research questions to apply to this global #DataResource may be things we've not even considered yet...

#introduction: I'm a scientist at #CSIC, Spain, interested in the #ecology & #evolution of fire-prone #ecosystems, & more generally, in disturbance ecology. I aim to understanding the role of #fire and other #disturbances in shaping species, populations, #communities, #landscapes, #biomes, & the #biosphere.
