Nevertheless, I want to register for the record my general approval of your pop-culture commentary.

I don't do academic philosophy these days but every now and then it occurs to me how virtually absurd it is that the British empiricists were epistemological Cartesian's while Descartes was basically a Baconian empiricist. Given the established narrative, where do you even start with that.

- I'm the best scorer in soccer.
- You're not making any goals.
- Yes, but that's because the goalkeeper keeps catching the ball!

We need to talk about how the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, and liberalism are one historical thread, and all the ways in which conservatism is incompatible with modern scientific inquiry. There is no reason to think science can function at all in the Heritage Foundation's dream society.

Are you highlighting #OpenScience activities in your CV, or know someone who does? I am looking for examples to include (of course in anonymized form) as examples in a book chapter. For example, I once came across a CV with small open science badges and would love to include this!

Trump administration says it mistakenly deported Salvadoran migrant The government blamed “an administrative error” for the accidental deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran immigrant married to a U.S. citizen. Officials claim they’re unable to return him t...

This is the absolute worst.

"But the Justice Department, even as it acknowledged the mistake, said it could not use diplomacy or financial pressures to free Abrego because it would threaten U.S. foreign policy and its relationship with an ally in the fight against gangs."

I walked around the campus just last summer. Vilnius (also Kaunas) are great places to visit.

Opinion | The Problem With Sweden Is Sweden (Gift Article) The country’s backlash against migration stems from a deeper discontent.

A great report on changing attitudes toward migration in Sweden, with insights transposable to much of the Western world.

Thanks, these are great guiding questions. It's interesting to view them from a European perspective. There's a lot of overlap with our data management plans. Some of the answers are governed by laws, some by EU or local government directives.

Very cool effect, but your brain is right--they are not the same color. There are two surfaces there that have the same color values in the bitmap, but given the implied lighting conditions that means the blocks are different colors, just as your brain is telling you.

Elon Musk’s ‘truth-seeking’ chatbot often disagrees with him Elon Musk has consistently branded his chatbot Grok as “truthful” and less biased than OpenAI’s ChatGPT. But it still disagrees with some of his political claims.

I've said it before. We need to find ways of creating, protecting, and make available AI models that are not trained to spout right-wing lies and propaganda. This could become extremely important very soon. Believe me when I say Musk and his ilk want to get their hands on OpenAI.

Knut Ståhlberg, Paris correspondent for Swedish Radio, said in an interview about his life, "Your days are filled with work, and then at some point you might realize, 'I'm happy.' So what?"

I've never understood exactly what he meant by that, but it's stuck in my mind. :-)

At least this won't endear him to Putin.

Since "white," "heterosexual," "man" are not on the Trump administration's list, if they want to achieve their goals they probably need to also ban "not."

Caroline Herschel - Wikipedia

Don't forget his aunt Caroline on the 16th. Her autobiography is on gutenberg.org and reads like it should have been a Terry Gilliam movie.

Can you summarize what's happening with the Schleswig-Holstein project to move... Schleswig-Holstein, Germany's northernmost state, is implementing an ambitious plan to transition its state administration to an open-source environment. This...

I for one am very interested in how Schleswig-Holstein is coming along with their project to move 30,000 state employees to a 100% open source environment. Hopefully more will follow, and the more do, the more shared resources there will be for solving problems along the way.

Information sovereignty is important to me personally, and should be a priority to all European institutions, especially considering the current political climate. ->

An when we're done, we all get a big fat Marshall Plan from China.

But in this civil war, one side is supported by Mexico, Canada, some European nations and perhaps Japan--and the other side is supported by Russia and North Korea. After having been protected by two oceans for centuries, North America becomes the battleground for WWIII. ->
