Amazing for a few reasons
1. The tires on the planes didn’t confuse the drones, previously a great strategy
2. Look at how unguarded the airspace was. The propaganda drone seemed to fly unchallenged.
Harvard is an ideal not its land or its buildings. Don’t corporations on occasion move their main campuses? There is already enrolled student inertia to consider but it isn’t crazy.
@ctvnews-rss.bsky.social thank you for this wonderful example of a FAILED data visualization. My students @uoft.bsky.social will learn a number of cautionary tales from it.
With NSF and NIH and maybe DOE (DoD??) freezing all grants and then canceling any that contain DEI language while also imposing a strict 15% IDC requirement - I think it is clear we are entering the next scientific Ice Age.
Young folk lessons from old folk:
When moving out of your parents house you will certainly learn in time to clean your dishes and do your laundry, but the first thing you learn is that there are degrees of dirtiness.
JOSS is for professional level code releases. They peer review and their editors are DEDICATED. Great if you want community standard reproducible and extensible code - but it can take a year + to get the final thumbs up
JOSS can be a slog - worth it if you are making open source and community driven software.
GitHub is ultra low lift

Ok - sold - do they deliver via airmail?
I near the point of normalizing leaving the U.S. because it no longer holds scientific primacy.

I find the most difficult part of building a task list is deciding on the level of granularity for each big task.
We are the flotsam of the boats who positioned themselves in front of the wave.
Maybe I am becoming a true Canadian now.
Whenever anyone asks me where I am from originally - my first instinct is to apologize before I tell them I am from the U.S.
The last point is likely true
My main problem with all of the pieces I am reading about the #fuckboy cuts to science is that they are fractured and focused on self-interest.
We need to speak out in unison with one voice to stop the gutting of science in America. Else the public will tune us out.

@jdvance1.bsky.social is such a sycophant. Kiss the ring, no kiss the ring, no kiss the ring. I kissed the ring. It isn’t so bad.
Pass it on.

I am just so saddened to see the systematic dismantling of the America’s scientific future.
My heart breaks to see so many young scientists not only fired but demeaned by a narcissist.
Public service is a choice to serve public good instead of your own financial interests.
Just got my first real shot across the bow showing me that I really need to LLM proof my exams.
Who has been thinking about this? Any tips?
Science as we know it in America is now dead.
This is not to say that it is dead completely, but it is undergoing plastic surgery via sledge hammer and rotary saw.
O3-mini with web search generated this gem. Maybe O3 lives in a preferable timeline
Amazing in just a few short years the U.S. went from “Change you can believe in.” to “Believe me, there will be change!”
How about - please do not report the 16 models you tested against your dataset but focus instead on the model that worked and the scientific learnings?
How on earth was I not following @xkcd.com until now? My life quality is now quantitatively better. Unfortunately the character limit is insufficient to contain my full proof.

U.S. spending is dominated by Medicare, Social Security, Debt Payments, and the military. Attacking science funding is like stomping ants to solve your elephant problem
I don’t understand people who can sit and watch a talk but don’t have a million questions at the end of it. Like I have to constantly restrain myself from overwhelming people with questions.
This week during Materials Science & Engineering - University of Toronto Advanced #artificialintelligence for #materialsscience we are welcoming Boston University's own Keith Brown to talk to us about #selfdriving 🐻's. Acceleration Consortium
