There is some hype in the world of AI this month and it's about open weight models 😮 Today, Kimi-K3 will be published and on paper, it's head to head with the biggest commercial models. You can't run it (unless you happen to have a supercomputer), but still exciting that you can download it!

3 conferences in the last 3 weeks done! Was ist too much? Maybe, I'm definitely exhausted. But it was great to see so many colleagues doing new and interesting research, and I feel updated about what's happening in #commsky, data archiving, and #polsky

Hi #ica26. We have an open 4.5 yr Postdoc position @weizenbauminstitut.bsky.social Berlin in PolComm/Comp Social Scienes on opinion dynamics in climate topics. Hit me up if you want a to talk about it in CT or send to colleagues who might be interested. www.weizenbaum-institut.de/news/detail/...

Hey #ica26, I recently wrote a little something that I believe might be interesting to many. Over years I tried to find a way to properly keep up to date with new journal publications across those journals that are most important to me... (1/n)

Computational methods division top paper goes to Paul Balluff, @christinaviehmann.bsky.social, Maximilian Linde, @yapete.bsky.social, Jun Sun, Chung-hong Chan from @gesis.org. Huge congrats everyone!

The dedication of some #ica26 presenters! Kunhao Yang got delayed by a day by a Taifun and used it as an example 8n in his presentation he gave after walking on stage straight from the airport 😮

Very happy I made it to #ica26, and not just for the great breakfast view 🤓

I have to update one of the most inflammatory things I said back on the bird site, but for the LLM era: 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 If your agent prefaces every tool call with `cd /the/current/workspace &&`, I will come set your data center on fire 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

I will teach Web Scraping and Data Management at @essexsummerschool.bsky.social this year! Learn to: - manage research data (in tables, files, databases etc.) 📂 - Systematically get data from the internet (APIs, scraping, browser automation) 🤖 - wrangle your data in #rstats to make it useful 📈
