New policy idea: 30 years jail time for CEOs and CTOs of companies displaying any variant of the phrase "we value your privacy" in a cookie "consent" pop-up.
The other day, a visiting researcher asked my colleague “what’s exciting in cosmology right now?” and my colleague said that it’s the sea change as everyone reorients their work around AI agents. That answer bummed me out.
And it's a wrap! The hackathon was a fantastic success! 🥳 You can look forward to a longer post about all we did, and one of our biggest releases yet in 0.9.0! Huge thanks to all the participants 🤩, and we hope to see you at the next one!

this is a regular reminder that, whatever you use to create QR codes, check it resolves to the address you want, and not an intermediary. You don't want, say, to put posters all over a research institute that suddenly resolve to a page full of scammy ads and malware.
The former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers who went on strike for 3+ years, only to have the owners sell the paper and fire most of them, have started their own cooperative news org. Important reporting by @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social

Former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers went on strike for over three years and won. Then, the owners sold the paper and most strikers lost their jobs. Now, they’ve launched “a cooperative news organiz...

The Sprints are one of our favorite parts of the conference! 🎉 This is where many of us made our very first contribution to the Scientific Python ecosystem, thanks to the welcoming and friendly maintainers who make it easy to get involved. 🫶 Here's to all the new contributors started this week 💙
two types of applications I haven't seen in #atproto even with upcoming permissioned space. 1. collaborative space where space does actually own the contributed data - Tangled should solve this. 2. federated space like wikipedia. - similar to case 1, but with distributed ownership over the data.
everyone has an answer to this and they’re probably all at least partially correct, but mine is that he doesn’t understand art, he doesn’t value it, and he doesn’t think it’s worth paying for. that’s true of most of our tech billionaires but he’s the distilled version of their contempt for humanity
post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 3w agoi don’t really understand why Musk doesn’t just pay artists to make the art he wants.

🙌 Day 2 of #SciPy2026 is complete! Another day of tutorials covered array programming, RAG systems, network analysis, GPU acceleration, Xarray, Shiny, interactive visualization, JAX, remote sensing, and more 🚀 We're so excited to see you all tomorrow for our main conference 🫶
📣 Tracking cells through time – including divisions – is a core problem in live-imaging microscopy. We built HOCT, an edge-centric Transformer that hits state-of-the-art on the Cell Tracking Challenge without a pretrained image encoder. Work led by @jookuma.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2607.11754 🧪🔬💻
🚀 #SciPy2026 starts today! We're kicking off the week with tutorials 👩💻 Looking forward to a great week of learning, collaboration, and conversations with the Scientific Python community. 🙌 See you at the University of Minnesota Health Sciences Education Center ✨️
Struggling for something to do in a TWO DAY gap without ⚽? How about trying our pre-release of napari 0.8.0? napari.org/dev/release/... Of note, this release drops Py3.10 support and deprecates PyQt5 in favor of PyQt6. It also adds some neat new features and improvements! See below: 👇

I downloaded Google Earth Pro for MacOS... the current version (7.3.7.1155) was created on 3 April 2026 & is an Intel application. Apple began transitioning to "Apple Silicon" 6 years ago. They announced they are dropping support for Intel CPUs & Rosetta2 next year. GEP was abandoned _years_ ago.
