This is one of the most core war crimes available.
Relationship between herbaceous species richness and relative humidity at hourly intervals across a 24 hour period. We measured relative humidity every 5 min during the growing season in the Biodiversity, CO2, and Nitrogen (BioCON) experiment in central Minnesota in 2012 (Reich et al., 2001, Wright et al., 2015).

Good news everyone!
You can now analyze your own posts for semantic novelty from the famous Sichu post, ‘analyze the semantic novelty’

The consequences of my most offbrand post wondering how to relate to people are left to the reader for evaluation
A picture of PEW poll on global attitude survey, saying the % who rate the morality and ethics of people in their country as good vs bad, where the US has the worst rankings and Canada the best
Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best
Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!
well I think a lot of computational biologists have lately also been benefiting from regular LLMs in the form of agentic coding
I could spend hours just in the Detroit Industry atrium
also LLMs can be dangerous tools even if they're not a road to AGI
I was going to say the same thing!
The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.

Show me the coolest thing you own. Whether it’s art or a leaf that you found neat, I want to see it!

imo "Frenching the Bat" is an all-time banger youtu.be/D_TjzDqrzsQ?...
The phrase “preemptive strike” is as insulting as when we were sold “humanitarian pauses” in the middle of a live-streamed genocide. The powerful looking you straight in the face and telling you your common sense simply doesn’t matter.
what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"
They were going to pass rules to phase out gas stoves, until they received 20,000 public comments against the regulations. Except, oops, it turns out the comments were generated by AI.
Was on this one but it is my favorite as I learned a ton, got to think about Silverswords and traits as well as had a chance to collaborate with Baldwin and Robichaux besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
thanks! exactly the sort of thing I was looking for
thank you!
ecology and evolution folks! what are your favorite recent-ish, accessible papers on trait evolution?
AI makes continuous reproducibility and robustness testing trivial. What happens to science under new levels of scrutiny and stress-testing by default?
Some thoughts on how this could play out, informed by watching open science play out over the last decade.
LLMs make statistical metascience easier. LLMs don't increase the validity of statistical metascience. www.argmin.net/p/devezers-urn
I was a Hark! fan from almost the beginning, and it broke my heart to read Ducks and learn what she was going through as she was drawing those early strips
NEW POST: Danielle Smith is no separatist; she's much, much worse

keep having to explain to my friends still Over There that we can be unhinged too!!
None of Smith's referendum questions are likely to result in actual policy change.
Because they require constitutional amendments (federal veto) or are plainly unconstitutional.
Assuming "yes" votes carry, what then?
Kenney's equalization referendum didn't soothe separatists. It emboldened them.
Smith kicked off the sovereignty referendum campaign tonight. The fight for the future of Alberta starts now.
