I will say my peace on this: When you run your mouth about Russiа and Ukrаinе, but the only kind of factual appeal you make is from Russian side of propaganda, and the only kind of emotional appeal you make is "Ukraine wants to be big Israel", you completely surrender yourself to campist dog shit.

1. We—@eduede.bsky.social, @mjcrockett.bsky.social, Kevin Gross, and I—have a new preprint on the arXiv today, based on ideas that emerged during an @sfiscience.bsky.social workshop in November 2024: The unintended consequences of large language models as a labor-augmenting technology in science.

The unintended consequences of large language models as a labor-augmenting technology in science

As a labor-augmenting technology, large language models (LLMs) have the potential to accelerate scientific activity across the research pipeline. But even if LLMs perform on par with human experts at ...

‘Nolan has read at least the first line of my translation of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘥𝘺𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘺 into iambic pentameter. In one interview, he cited my version of it: “Tell me about a complicated man.” But I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script.’ New, by Emily Wilson www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

I'm absolutely devastated for colleagues at Jodrell Bank who found out this morning that funding for the UK's e-MERLIN radio telescope array will be terminated. This is a short-sighted move, to save a tiny fraction of the overall UK science budget. #SaveJodrellBank 🔭🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Jodrell Bank's Lovell telescope faces axe in science cuts, BBC understands

Astronomers warn it would tear the heart out of UK science, and leave a generation untrained.

“What will the Lovell Telescope discover/enable 20 yrs from now? I can’t tell you, and that’s the point. It will either be something extraordinary that none of us can yet predict, or we will defund it and leave Cheshire with a rusting monument to unfulfilled potential and discoveries never made.” 🔭🧪

So one of the things I repeatedly see people doing in the rights-at-border discourse is mixing up your rights at a border point of entry (when you are specifically crossing into the US, as in at an airport or at a physical territorial border) and your rights in the 100 mile border zone.

And that's the whole damn problem. We can have 150k people marching in 30°C weather and maybe The Indy and Evening Standard will say anything. We'll get more coverage in *foreign media* than our own. That's absolutely criminal, and it's a big part of why our rights are in decline: we have no voice.

Standing notice that I will try to remember to repeat semi-regularly: if anyone from the US is going to be in the EU and is willing to have a (perfectly legal) package shipped to their hotel, carry it home, and ship it to me, I would be immensely grateful

NEW: After a purported crackdown on scam compounds last year, researchers now say at least 25 new scamming sites have opened or expanded in Myanmar. Satellite images show trees being razed and land cleared, with large compounds appearing months later

Do you like fast-paced, fun sci-fi that will make you laugh and think? @scalzi.com has a Humble Bundle up—22 books for $18. I'd buy it except I already have all of them. Highly recommend. www.humblebundle.com/books/john-s... #scifi

Sometimes our gregarious 5yo introduces himself to customers and talks about cats, or about pressing and salient issues in Minecraft strategy, or other silliness. Today I heard him distracting some visitors, so I went to intervene. Except the kid was explaining how to play a board game we carry.

The anatomy of an AI-supported academic article is becoming more apparent. I desk reviewed ~70 manuscripts this week for our journal. Reckon 20ish had significant AI assistance. On top of hundreds of others recently I'm starting to see patterns. Are other editors are seeing the same or similar? 1/

Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2
