🤯➡️Cuando creíamos que el baremo era la novedad de la FPU 24, descubrimos un cambio alarmante en el lenguaje empleado en la convocatoria.📝
1. Hay una deliberada y sistemática omisión del término "contrato predoctoral". 📃🚫

Parte del trabajo de un investigador (del @csic, de universidades) es viajar. A congresos, reuniones de trabajo, salidas al campo, etc. Sería razonable pensar que, cuando viajamos por trabajo, nuestro empleador cubre nuestros gastos. Pero no es así. Te lo explico. ->

Our next talk is a fantastic explanation of what happens inside the black box of #AI. Gerard Finol will be presenting a friendly introduction to backpropagation and neural networks in Unison!
Join us in our Discord. Talk starts in 15 minutes!

🚨 This is happening today! 📅
See you there for my ✨friendly✨ introduction to backpropagation with Unison!
"Backpropagation is the backbone of training neural networks."
🤔 <Nods sagely>
If you would like to actually understand what this means, join our next Unison Forall speaker, Gerard Finol, who will introduce the essentials in a friendly way.

Getting accepted to a conference is all nice and fine, but now I need to actually prepare for it. Send coffee.

L'Andrea Toloba, una altra de les #JovesMatemàtiquesCatalanes, tria la cita de Maryam Mirzakhani: "A les matemàtiques, no hi ha un únic camí cap a l’èxit. Has de trobar el teu propi camí i abraçar els reptes al llarg del viatge"

Avui a la col·lecció #JovesMatemàtiquesCatalanes descobrireu a què es dedica l'Andriana.
I am really enjoining the new Contributor Spotlight videos of @unisonweb! 👏👏
In particular, the one with Fabio Labella is a complete lesson on Concurrency with functional programming 👀👀
🎙 Last week, we interviewed Fabio Labella about concurrency in Unison. We ask him what makes working with concurrency so hard, cover some concurrency abstractions from his library and the standard lib, and implement a simple queue together.

I love the format of this, where one person tries to write something useful using a library, with guidance from the library author
📽️ The recording is up from last week's spotlight on the Orderator library. youtube.com/watch?v=-Ko3GjpW…
We start with an introduction to the concept as a generalization of streams. Then we dive straight into adding some Orderator functions, from the simple to the more mind-bending.

Unison Cloud is now generally available!
✅ Deploy with a function call.
✅ Call services as easily as local functions.
✅ Access typed storage like in-memory data structures.
You can sign up for free at: unison.cloud/

Distributed Applications require distinct approaches and should embrace, rather than obscure, their distributed nature.

Rethinking the status quo: Imagine Distribution and Decentralization not as an afterthought but as core principles
Let's dream and discuss: What would a Distributed First programming model look like?
