Scientists no Longer Find Twitter Professionally Useful, and have Switched to Bluesky Synopsis. Social media has become widely used by the scientific community for a variety of professional uses, including networking and public outreach. For

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!

"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be joining Bluesky as interim CEO. I deeply believe in what this team has built and the open social web they're fighting for. More here: toni.org/2026/03/09/c...

tweet from Mark Meador @MeadorFTC on Mar 5 People who argue that age verification requires collecting and retaining massive troves of personal data are not operating in good faith. They're just paid by people who want to prey on your kids.

Trump's FTC Chair posts that people opposing age-verification surveillance are just shills being "being paid by people who want to prey on your kids."

The lengths this administration goes to delegitimize dissent is staggering.

A! Thank you for clarifying the use of the word after

I am not really sure that the words "After Covid" are accurate. It is literally part of a baseline that will never revert back to the pre 2019 one. Interesting talk otherwise

One of the things people forget when making these age stratified analysis is that one needs to be in some sort of a steady state. As you pointed out if one filters out people in the 0-65 age they will not age to be in the 65+ age group.

So the money is in some limbo zone? They cannot be spent by the original grantee because the MY were terminated , but they cannot be repurposed either? Similar to what happened with the tariff dollars

I don't understand the point you are getting at. For sure China went from hero to zero overnight when the illegal biosafety labs were uncovered in California so it is not clear or widely known that they kept anything in place (this would probably have violated agreements they had to make back then)

In a sense I did. I pointed it out to Chapter 4 of the 1st edition of @hadley.nz 's book Advanced R and asked it to limit attention to the functions mentioned there. Pretty decent conversation around environments and lexical but when it came to that particular function it went full Reddit rage on me

Meghan2 is a very good movie, great witty and snappy dialogue

Exactly

The closest analogy is to argue that two words each with multiple meanings are not synonyms because their secondary meanings are not identical. Truly bizarre how opinionated it was too .

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Very weird to be arguing with Gemini about the equivalence of chartr (in #rstats) to tr (in #Perl) , with the slopbot focusing on the squeeze flag of tr and use cases that involve counting substitutions to push gsub and gregexpr.
OTH the comparison of environments to lexical closures was okish

Burr holes or bust is a weird hill to die on.

For most people, stable employment is disappearing and being replaced by precarious, low-paid work. Stability is a thing of the past now. Over 2 billion workers worldwide have no job security or benefits.

The commies at WHO are saying it is covid

Who let the adenodogs out?

Always a safe bet but people tell me I am biased

Look into the iOS updates too

my money on smartphones and ozempic causing it

Iphones

Probably nothing, but has anyone looked into smartphones as a cause?

(When one is about to rip through 10s of millions of medical records, one must profile the tools if the project is to finish before one's retirement)
FlexiBLAS makes this benchmarks a breeze

I wonder if the #lapack that comes with #AOCL is being picked up by flexiblas in #rstats.
