yeah a lot of the anti-AI discourse has weird protestant-work-ethic vibes — and that also has the result that people *dismiss* concerns about AI for this reason
A silly fact for today: drinkware made out of clay/stone/wood/bone dates back to about 10000 BCE. Drinkware made out of glass dates to about ~1570 BCE or so. So we were drinking out of stuff for 8500 years before we invented glasses to drink fluid out of!
I love the present
just the sweetest little pangolin you ever saw
fun fact: no pangolin has ever done a single thing wrong in the entire history of the world

Whoever has created
An abiding friendship,
Or has won
A true and loving wife,
All who can call at least one soul theirs,
Join in our song of praise!
But any who cannot must creep tearfully
Away from our circle. 🎵
The thing about AI replacing analysts that I think is implicit to a lot of people who understand AI, but not at all clear to the people doing layoffs is this: adversaries use AI for automation and as a force multiplier too. Humans are the deciding difference in who wins, beyond equal automation.

#AmReading Zosia Zaks on masking:
"I would practice over and over and over in front of the mirror how to look and how to sound in different scenarios so that I wouldn’t stand out as a freak."
This resonates so hard.

It's me (a girl with bags under her eyes)
In all seriousness, I don't tend to notice people's faces enough to realise when anyone has bags under their eyes.
I will not get into fights about statistics on the internet, I will not get into fights about statistics on the internet...
And now...after the Artemis II success...this mess.
Tim Errington and Abel Brodeur will be on Science Friday today talking about the reproducibility, robustness, and replicability projects in the social and behavioral sciences.
Listen live at 2p ET, or at the website after:

These papers look so wonderfully thought-provoking. I'm looking forward to reading them!

The ERROR project recruits independent experts to recheck social sciences papers’ data, statistics, methodology, code; now the project plans to publish the reviews in a new peer-reviewed journal.

Was looking through my wordpress stats and this article seems to be quite popular! I ought to revisit it, as there’s been a lot more research and public history done on the role of the technician:

A passion piece about the philosophy of resentment!
Inflation has piled pressure on STFC's budget, which has stayed relatively flat in cash terms
I think this says a lot about the pressure STFC is under: its budget will not have risen (in cash terms) between 2023 and 2030
Inflation is obviously going keep eroding that, and more so with the Iran war
(Details of STFC budget figures over the spending review have not been published before now)
Finally some clarity on the #STFC budget: it's falling in real terms as UKRI spending rises. A conscious decision has been made to decrease UK funding for fundamental physics, despite all the evidence that our blue skies research is key for economic growth.
Thank you @resprofnews.bsky.social!
