It's International Research Software Engineers Day! Many of the networks I am part of are in one way or another composed by researchers of all kinds developing software for their research. Today, we celebrate us. And don't forget to have some cake. #ResearchSoftwareEngineering #InternationalRSEDay

I’m going to need everyone who’s reporting on AI psychosis and how it’s making people, especially men, come up with theories of everything to please talk with the scientists who have been getting multiple emails from “theory of everything” guys for decades

There are many, many reasons to not want a further spiral into political violence (I’ve written a lot on this, especially related to the modernization of Japan and rise of militarism) but one small reason is that it starts to psychologically taint spaces you otherwise had positive associations with.

In about 30 minutes we will start the S34 session on maritime modelling at the BIG Hörsaal! I will talk about the oddities of sending a software engineer to test the seafaring capabilities of some quite interesting boats, don't miss it! #CAA2026

A 3,200 year-old painted scene of a lion and a gazelle playing a board game, probably senet. From an ancient Egyptian illustrated papyrus showing animals taking on human roles in comic situations where they act against their natural instincts. 📷 British Museum #Archaeology

The British Museum image shows a painted scene of a lion and a gazelle playing a board game, probably senet. They are seated on low stools, facing each other, across a low table on which a board game with black playing pieces is laid out. It is probably the popular ancient Egyptian board game senet. The gazelle sits on the left of the table facing the lion on the right. The animals are seated on their haunches, sitting upright, legs hanging down from the chair seat, and their forelegs raised, being used as arms. Each animal holds a game piece with their hoof and paw respectively. The gazelle is painted brown within a black outline. It has black hooves, two long, black, s-shaped curved horns, and a black dot for its eye. It has long pointed ears at the back of its head. The lion is painted a sandy brown within a black outline. It has a darker-brown shaggy mane and a black nose and eye. It’s mouth is ajar as if speaking. Detail from an ancient Egyptian illustrated papyrus from Deir el-Medina
