Dear all,, one of my M1 students is recruiting participants for two online listening experiments. We are looking for native speakers of English, aged 18–50, with no reported history of speech, hearing, or neurological disorders. Participation is entirely voluntary and unpaid.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."

When running ANOVAs in #R, use car::Anova(). aov() and anova() use Type I sums of squares, meaning that order matters, which can distort results in unbalanced designs. car::Anova() is safer because it uses Type II sums of squares by default), each effect is adjusted for all the other effects.

NIH study sections were paused last week, today NSF panels are pausing. And NYU sent out this email today. We all know how "temporary" these measures end up being (ahem, much like NYU put up "temporary" barriers to block access to publicly used plazas last year that are--surprise!--still there)

Notices of Cancellations of Federal Grants

Over the weekend, NYU’s Office of Sponsored Research (OSP) received notification from the US Department of State of two grants being terminated. The only reason given in each instance is that “the award does not meet the agency’s priorities.”  We have reached out to the affected researchers, taken required steps, and offered support. It is certainly possible, if not likely, that more such notices will come.

The research activities of our scholars are central to NYU’s mission. The University values its faculty’s scholarship immeasurably and views these developments with the utmost seriousness, especially the sudden grant cancellations.
