I love open source projects that face-fuck the will of big corporations This project here allows for management of Logitech devices without the need to login with an account, and also has no telemetry
OpenLogi
A native, local-first alternative to Logitech Options+, written in Rust. Remap buttons, drive DPI and SmartShift over HID++ — no account, no telemetry.

> [Altman] has an automated coffee machine that claims to save labour while doing the exact opposite because it can’t be trusted. His kitchen is a catalogue of inefficiency, incomprehension, and waste. If that’s any indication of how he runs the company, insolvency [is a realistic] a threat.

I found a beautiful essay on the value of exploratory research. Here's a summary:
Excited to share that I'll be starting as a junior professor and Emmy Noether awardee at the University of Göttingen this October! 🥳 🚀 I'll be hiring #phd students and #postdoc across #machinelearning, #neuroscience and #cogsci: modirlab.github.io/open-positio... Please spread the word! 🙏

You don't understand. The sale pitch is about billionaires living forever inside a computer, merged with their money.
Carl T. Bergstrom@carlbergstrom.com · 3mo ago"somewhere in Silicon Valley, a fruit fly is living its second life inside a computer, totally unaware that it is living in the insect Matrix." I cannot begin to tell you how utterly disgusted I am with the state of science reporting at the very few remaining venues with a veneer of respectability.
Nicht vergessen. Der kühlste Mai für den Rest deines Lebens. 👌 „Die globalen Temperaturen werden in den nächsten fünf Jahren auf Rekordniveau bleiben, wobei der jährliche Durchschnitt bis zu 1,9 °C über dem vorindustriellen Niveau erreichen könnte, wie Wissenschaftler festgestellt haben."
every desktop environment sucks so i just started using minecraft as my desktop environment
Es ist kühl? Zu kühl? Ja. Macht die globale Erhitzung eine Pause? Nein! Außerdem wirkt die veränderte Atmosphäre zu jedem Zeitpunkt aufs Wetter. Du lebst in einer anderen Atmopshäre im Vergleich zur vorindustriellen Zeit. Das ist die physikalische Realität in der DU lebst! #Klimakatastrophe
📣 The difference between replicable and not replicable is not itself scientifically replicable. 📣 New work with Erkan Buzbas, showing that verdicts such as "X% of results replicated" are based on an inferential machinery that doesn't work. arxiv.org/abs/2604.26268
Interesting study, would love to reproduce the methods with microtonal music

Had the weirdest dream last night: I was pitching Positron IDE to some colleagues, and vividly remember that the variable explorer was a big thing. Anyway if you havent heard Positron or @posit.co yet, have a look here: posit.co/products/ide...
Positron
Write R and Python, explore data, build Jupyter notebooks, and use context-aware AI in a single, zero-config IDE engineered specifically for data science.

The SCORE investigation of repeatability and credibility is a lot. There are a few ways to get your head around it. 1: The Nature collection includes 3 papers from SCORE, an amazing paper from @i4replication.bsky.social and several commentaries about the work. www.nature.com/collections/... 1/
Reliable research in the social and behavioural and sciences
Sweeping new investigations probe the replication, robustness and reproducibility of results across the behavioural and social sciences.

Happy that I contributed to this, hopefully influencing, project. Double happy that it was built upon ARIADNE framework!
IGOR DGPs@igor-dgps.bsky.social · 6mo agoNew paper from our IGOR Sustainability project in Nature Human Behaviour: “Sustainable neuroscience through open science” ♻️🧠 As there is no research on a dead planet, neuroscience must weigh its environmental footprint alongside its societal impact.

"There are signs that the Bayes Factor is increasingly taking on a role analogous to that of the p-value, serving as a device for the automation of decisions rather than as a tool for substantive inference." Excellent new preprint by Carol Ting on the rise of NHST. #Methodology #stats

Guys, a bunch of you are opposed to Elon Musk saying weird stuff, but did you know that every time he does so I get a bump in sales for A City on Mars? And much of that increased revenue supports the local Taco Bell. Think about it.
