Just released an early preview of Zemble, a @zotero.org plugin for @semble.so! - Augment you Zotero library with all of the activity happening on Semble/Atmosphere. - Easily save and view items in Zotero on Semble. - Publish Zotero collections as Semble collections.

Wanted to take a peek at @semble.so and didn't knew where to start. I built this as a static explorer of all the links in there. sites.wisp.place/davidgasquez... Love AT Protocol for letting me build the UI I want! 😍

Copying manuscripts by hand must have been an incredibly deep learning experience. Working through the ideas of Plato or Aristotle or Augustine line by line. Swimming in author’s head for months.

Fastmail data can now live primarily in the EU, on servers our own engineers set up in Amsterdam. Current customers can switch in settings; new accounts pick a region at signup.

I recommend this article about AI reasoning, where the author lets us in on his struggles w/ AI cognitive dissonance. Plus some priceless quotes from @rao2z.bsky.social. (My recommendation has *nothing* to do with the fact that I'm quoted in it too 😇) www.quantamagazine.org/is-ai-reason...

Is AI Reasoning Right for the Wrong Reasons? | Quanta Magazine

The idea that artificial intelligence can “reason” is more intuitive than ever. But intuitions can be wrong, and the science is far from settled.

See below for a preview of our Munich Manifesto for Equitable Open Research - if you care about #openscience for all, please consider signing too! We are gathering support for a formal launch in September #philsci #research #policy #equality #sts Thanks so much @alelazic.bsky.social for your insight

Had a moment to read the latest version of the Munich Manifesto for Equitable #OpenResearch. A strong call for institutions, funders, and policymakers to make open research equitable. More thoughts on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/posts/alelaz... #OpenScience

OK one of the greatest things IA've ever built. Bi-directional SVG source code editing. Drawing as programming with programmable drawings. *this* is how I want computers to collaborate with me. Ordinary SVG with a plurality of editable views. tomlarkworthy.github.io/lopebooks/no...

normally, as a metascientist, I should be elated to read about "establishing metascience units to institutionalize continuous improvement" as a government science priority but in this case it fills me with dread

Ahead of a hearing before the House Science, Space and Technology Committee tomorrow, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has released a 120-pg report, "Science: A New Golden Age" www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u... Here's the summary from the press release:

This problem by the way with industry actors destroying open source projects and taking advantage of people who pour their hearts into things has been well-known for ages and their entryism is reaching new heights bsky.app/profile/khin...

Many toots, but nothing long-form I can think of. Open Source is ultimately a means that can be applied towards many ends. There's full corporate Open Source (e.g. Chromium and Firefox). There's also corporate takeover of Open Source with academic origins (e.g. Scientific Python).

Things like: Cooper, R. P., & Guest, O. (2014). Implementations are not specifications: Specification, replication and experimentation in computational cognitive modeling. Cognitive Systems Research, 27, 42-49. doi:10.1016/j.cogsys.2013.05.001. PDF: pure.mpg.de/rest/items/i...

"Conviviality can only happen if a majority of a community adopts it as a value. What small groups of people can do, however, is develop and use convivial tools at their modest scale, to demonstrate that it is possible, and to provide a model that others can learn from if they want to."

oh that's very related to @khinsen.net and co's rescience.github.io

anyway read the paper @khinsen.net links to as well: doi.org/10.4000/16954

Nothing says "we should probably do something about this" quite like an extreme heat conference being canceled because it's too hot. 🫠🌡️

Grantham Research Institute at LSE@granthamlse.bsky.social · last mo.

We regret that our event on Extreme Heat: Improving governance and strengthening action around the world has been cancelled due to the red extreme heat warning issued by the UK Met Office. Our apologies to everyone who was planning to attend the event.

"Open science is increasingly losing its liberating and democratizing potential, as it becomes entangled with the interconnected and mutually reinforcing logics of commercialization, political instrumentalization, and media-driven visibility of science."

Samuel Moore@samuelmoore.org · 2mo ago

"Within this context, open science becomes a litmus test: will it evolve as a tool of digital constitutionalism, safeguarding pluralism and reflexivity? Or will it be absorbed into a regime of metric-based visibility, instrumental rationality, and platform-driven utility?" By @raffaela.bsky.social

@author-calnewport.bsky.social does a fantastic job writing about AI, and this one is his best yet. Gift link in quoted post.

Read about @mu.social yesterday. Thought "why not?" and tried to connect. Age verification. Closed window, end of the story.

This, by @khinsen.net , is a very rewarding read. I've finally read it from the beginning to the end and found a lot to think about.
