Put the hyperlinked page(s) of the referenced citation by the reference in the bibliography list for easy back and forth movement between main text and bibliography. Why is this not standard practise? We do the first part (link from place in text to bibliography). Why not the second?

Claude banger:"agents cargo-cult us (imitating our artifacts without our purposes), and we cargo-cult them back (trusting their artifacts without their mechanisms), and each side's ritual output becomes the other side's sacred input. It's a two-mirror cult with no god in the room."

A crucial skill in a productive galaxy-brained research agenda is to know how to carve up/tailor results for specific communities. That can be pretty straightforward, but needs locating the interdisciplinary walls and reranking interesting questions in each cell as if that is all you could see.

I don't know anything about this particular application yet, but first impression is laden with "positive future" ideas. If nothing else, that's what this #atproto offers society: an invitation to envision a better future.

Excited to share the launch of the next phase of @gainforest.earth 🌱 Gainforest.app helps communities document biodiversity, build resilience and receive funding. Built on top of @atproto.com with @hypercerts.org and @maearth.com to start a new regenerative movement in the @atmosphere.community 🌱

In the midst of all the discussion about how hard it is to know good science from bad, the clearest signal I know for good science is listening to the presenter and hearing all the commentary about the process and context around the research. More evidence for me that #trails is the way. #ICML2026

"just to polish" responds to social norms rather than being an actual description: it defends against being viewed as delegating intellectual work, but anyone can see that these tools inject more than just style and grammar.

"I used an LLM to help me write, but it was just to polish the style and grammar" is something you've probably come across, or done yourself. Many conferences and journals and teachers are ok with this. But does it...? Just focus on the style and grammar...?

The trails guy! Always nice to see an ATproto person who is in the ML world as well. Not a picture per se @sharky6000.bsky.social , but the kind of #icml2026 content you are looking for 😁

🧵Can we reconcile excitement for SAEs with negative results? Our #ICML2026 position paper argues that even if SAEs underperform baselines when acting on knowns (e.g. probing, steering), they're a powerful tool for ~discovering unknowns~ Poster: Tue 2pm, HALL A #1715

Here's why Semble is different: Semble is not a 'social network'. All the content, all the social connections made by people *is* the network. Semble *provides access* to this network, which is valuable. But the network itself can outgrow and outlive any single product.
