Das Frühjahr in Brandenburg ist zu trocken, der Grundwasserspiegel bleibt niedrig. "Um ihn zu erhöhen, müsste es jahrelang gleichmäßig Niederschlag geben", so Peter Hoffmann. Der #Klimawandel begünstige hingegen stärkere Verdunstung und ungleich verteilten Regen. www.tagesschau.de/inland/regio...

Liebe alles daran.

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

Jobs, jobs, jobs! Please spread the word

Man, one of the most depressing aspects of modern scholarship is finding a great article and then looking up the scholar to see what else they’ve done and just catching a glimpse of an abbreviated career hopping between visiting positions and publishing great pieces before disappearing from academia

New #aBitOfCCS episode 🎙️

I talked with Miriam Milzner & @thieled.bsky.social about detecting coordinated disinformation in the age of AI.

They introduce coorsim, an open-source R package that finds semantically similar coordinated posts!

The Discourse has become sort of numb to the fact that the richest guy on earth and owner of a major social media platform just routinely spits out the kind of nakedly white supremacist shit that until a decade ago you rarely saw outside of places like Stormfront.

"If you think Claude Code is a better social scientist than you, then you’re probably right. But that means, at some point, you stopped trying to answer interesting/puzzling questions and started trying to win the publish-the-most-articles race."

Not sure what's most horrifying here:
- that this person was not suicidal; it appears Gemini was first to raise the option of suicide
- that this just as easily could've ended in murder; Gemini suggested armed robbery first
- Google's response literally being "welp, nobody's perfect... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
