Just realizing how little I use social media to promote my work, so let me take a little time to talk about fmdtools. Basically, fmdtools is a Python library for performing research into complex systems #resilience, focusing heavily on modeling and simulation. github.com/nasa/fmdtools

I guess that tracks bsky.app/profile/kjhe...

What a time to be alive

Knowing nothing about NGAD, I’m glad Boeing learned from its mistake with the X-32 (fighter jets need to look cool)

Buying these guys laptop stickers that say “this machine creates technical debt” bsky.app/profile/utop...

VTA's inability to prevent or quickly end the strike is embarrassing and reflects really poorly on how much they value the public being able to rely on their system. As the region is facing a tepid ridership recovery, it makes no sense to set roadblocks in front of transit use

It also kind of relies on the idea that scientists are inherently mobile and cosmopolitan enough to pick up and leave their families on the drop of a hat

No. Never. I review 20+ of papers a year—it's my job as a scientist. The public pays my salary and trust me to use my time wisely to advance science. Through peer review, I do exactly that. I spend two or three weeks a year reviewing, but I’ve never wasted a day reviewing a paper, and never will.

Reading through the lines, it sounds like a lot of the team might set up a contract shop where they can charge the government (and private enterprise) much more money for the same stuff they were delivering in-house. Good on them, but we should really pour one out for the notion of State Capacity

"Rapid Software Safety upgrades" would be the easiest way to invalidate a HAZOP or PHA in a process safety context

Given current events I might just update my bayesian prior of how safe commercial air travel is going forward

Just caught the @scvta.bsky.social Trex Train AMA

The job these pilots are asked to do is nothing short of heroic

crazy

These types of posts are usually pretty lame, but this one was great! Discovered a bunch of useful libraries that I had never heard of before. h/t @dataelixir.bsky.social

Happy New Year! ✨ We hope you enjoyed riding the historic Holiday Trolley! 🚋 Kicking off the first day of the year with trains full of appreciation! Can’t wait to see you aboard in 2025!   📸 Special shoutout to our Light Rail Operator Gursewak Singh for these stunning captures.

NASA's at a crossroads - not only with the change in administration, but because of decades of systemic underinvestment in the agency's underpinnings, the Natl Academies say. I report for @natureastronomy.bsky.social - with insights from @caseydreier.bsky.social @drthomasz.bsky.social & others: 🔭🧪

I'd normally post something like "excited to work!" after an averted shutdown but at the moment I'm more excited for my scheduled time off

May have had a minor panic over this last week

They really do look like wasps

Crazy stuff happening at #MoffettField these days
