@jasonhickel.bsky.social Hola, Jason. :)
Ayer escuché una entrevisa a un escritor que hace comentarios críticos hacia "los decrecentistas" en su último libro, a mi parecer usando falacias y una retórica cuestionable. Por si quieres escucharlo, a partir del min 45 y antes

El anual proceso inevitable de desapulgaramiento
Thanks! And totally, that was the feeling. 😅
Same for auraldiversity, for which some people may find it easier to see that actually not many people have what could be consider "typical hearing" or auditory perception.
And yet, we keep mostly only considering that group in sound related products, environments, events, etc.
One of the stranger objections I see to the idea of neurodiversity (or neurodivergence) is that it implies most people are actually neurotypical.
No!
It started as a reaction against the idea that the majority are normal, while outliers are wrong and disordered. It's founded on rejecting that.
Question for AI haters who are also academics:
How do you navigate co-authorship situations, where you don’t want to be involved in manuscripts where an author is using AI? Do you have explicit discussions with potential co-authors? How do these go?
I recommend it all the time, to forget the rest of your problems ✨
She also finds it annoying
Besides all kinds of jumps and banging things and slamming doors and the elevator and stairs behind my bed, this thing outside the window.
The luck I have to find "case studies" around the world is outstanding, tbf. But could I just be moderately rested to present the PhD, please, universe?
3rd night without being able to sleep much at the "prestige" student accommodation I've paid in Edinburgh.
If anyone knows of a place where to stay without constant loud noises all night and day, please let me know. 🙏
The old city centre of Edinburgh behind Princess gardens, with nice clouds in the sky.

Edinburgh is looking gorgeous these days. Visiting for seminars and the viva! 🙂
Do they or you follow the scientific literature clearly showing that the concern shouldn't be the same as for those things? Because maybe that's part of the problem, besides what it could be call health privilege, rather than lack of "reticence". :)
Haven’t seen the Theroux documentary yet, but what’s described here of the approach sounds a lot like the clips of the Doge bros’ depositions that have been going around this week.
Yes, believe women. But men need to start speaking up about other men's bad behavior in ways that are startlingly unusual katemanne.substack.com/p/one-weird-...

It also discuss the lack of general human diversity in acoustics research and practice, how many assumptions in society and recommendations from experts are more based on normative cultural expectations than in scientific evidence (e.g., habituation to noise, increasing exposure to reduce stress).
although many reported hyperacusis too, as well as other hearing differences (auraldiversity).
3. Development of an Acoustical Inclusivity Assessment tool (AcoustInA), and testing of the tool by 13 collaborators with expertise in acoustics.
The thesis will be hopefully out soon (viva this month!).
The three studies were:
1. Interviews with 12 autistic participants.
2. Survey with 311 neurodivergent and neurotypical participants who were noise sensitive as understood in acoustics - not hyperacusis but a high psychophysiological response to noise,
'The many impacts of inadequate acoustic environments on neurodivergent and noise sensitive people.'
Please to share this guest post summarising part of the results of the studies done for my PhD thesis, focused on lived experiences and real everyday spaces.

Paris is refurbishing car parks to create new social housing
This site was consumed by a 3-storey concrete car park. This has been partially demolished, and partially converted, creating a new green courtyard and 80 social housing apartments.

Feliz cumpleaños, Kifl! ☺️
Y por eso se ha encontrado endometriosis también en cerebros. 😬
Es otra de las cosas que si la tuvieran los hombres habría millones en fondos para estudiarla tan sólo por lo científicamente alucinante que es, aparte de un martirio.
"I got my PhD by writing prompts instead of doing research, I'm winning"
got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing
Spring: when I finally have the energy to work, but the world gets too beautiful to work. :_)
Grok explanation of the meaning of that statement: Alex Karp means: In an AI-driven world, "normal" routine skills get automated fast, leaving most folks scrambling. To have a real future, you either get vocational training (hands-on trades) or lean into neurodivergence—broadly, brains wired differently (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, etc.). Those let you think creatively, spot unique angles, build novel stuff like an artist, and innovate where AI can't. He's saying the fidgety, fast-thinking outliers (like himself) will disproportionately shape tomorrow.
Nothing of what Grok says here really is working like that for neurodivergent people in general, let alone for women.
The tech industry in particular, or academia, are strong patriarchal systems with lots of protection mechanisms to keep it that way.
He also says the future belongs to "the neurodivergent". Just not to neurodivergent women I guess.
In fact, the future is looking quite hostile for us. :/
Ojalá tener una grabación con sonido de lo que pasó en esa habitación
