New gas-powered data center projects linked to OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and xAI could emit more greenhouse gases than entire nations, according to a @wired.com investigation from @mollytaft.com --

On conversion: how does ChatGPT perform? Turns out, better than socials but not traditional channels 💡

That article I wrote one excel column at a time is finally out. The structure of excel really lowers the expectation bar in my head, so each week, I just go, “One more row, a row is progress.” I’ll still use tables now but will move to Word. Easier access to citation software ☺️
It’s one of those things that wasn’t obvious at first but once seen cannot be unseen. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Hmmmm
Seeing a lot of cool marketing tools for undergrad students built with the help of AI
Sobering that they didn’t even want to clean up their own mess.
My latest story is up! The components required for DNA and RNA are all present on asteroid Ryugu, which lends strong support to the hypothesis that the raw ingredients for life were present before the Sun even formed. A very fun and fascinating tale!
There should be a global data analysis of heartbeat and blood pressure from smartwatches - The study should observe the heighten pressure while reading war news and ensuing chaos. 
The AP is reporting that Sharif University in Tehran has been bombed.
This is Maryam Mirzakhani’s alma mater — the first woman to win a Fields Medal in math, and only one of two so far.
The university is also a leading center of opposition to the government.

Batshit crazy
Flight cost to the conference venue tripled!!!!! And believe me when I say I have tried all safe routes to all over Europe, with the hope of hopping on a cheap connecting/ early train prices.
Oh wow, learnt something new!
Paper acceptance! Planning in motion. Oh flights, please stay at an affordable price!
I replied earlier but noticed I was unsure about one fruit😂 Thorny fruit : Durian, Round ball with stem & leaves: Pomelo, Fruit in white mesh: Apple custard fruit, Smaller green and reddish fruit, in front : Maybe Passion fruit (unsure). Such diversity in colours, eh?
Aha! Now, I understand the “high” from live music events
Where will US prestige and popularity be at the end of his term?
In casual conversation, a friend presented an anecdotal observation which I had also observed before.

Wow!
This is brilliant
We warned you about putting fundamentally leaky and insecure "AI" systems into the research and education environment, bro! We fucken told you bro!
If you currently do not have a reproducible workflow where you can share data and code where possible, I expect you will soon not be able to publish in good journals.
Beyond being best practice, journals will use this to identify papers written by AI.
Plan a new project accordingly.
It’s going to be a reject… I can feel it in my gut. C’mon let’s get the bandaid off and on to the next journal. That said, I am grateful to the editorial team & reviewers for their time!
Please read. I was crying by the end. @katemanne.bsky.social is reclaiming philosophy as something that matters—not a mere intellectual exercise.
My first decent publication is out. Marginal contribution (in my own eyes) but I am happy with this one. Trying very hard on a heavy teaching & admin load to move to more and more meaningful projects. Slowly does it.
I finally understand why some leaders require more ultimate loyalty than others…
What a load of bull. Such foolishness.
These glasses continue to be creepy from Google Glass days and it is right to be cautious.
