Thanks. I wish my university’s grant office felt a fraction of your anger. This is an internal grant and I can’t help feel completely betrayed that they sent my grant to this same guy after I complained about this last year.

📣 EvolDir is now managed by @eseb.bsky.social!
We are delighted to be taking the reins and express our gratitude to both Brian Golding who began this service to the community in the mid-1980s and to @rdmpage.bsky.social who ran this account until now 👏
You can now find evoldir here: evoldir.net
Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement
That is, with extremely nice explanations of the algorithms themselves, but also beautiful code examples in some nice language. #bioinformatics #genomics #algorithms #books
I have now read this piece and it is very good.
Massive respect for @merenbey.bsky.social and Iva for their persistence and documenting this torturous process.
Highly recommended reading for anyone who cares about reproducibility in science.
yesterday I was listening to Arcade Fire, and the singer said "next song is a very old one". I was "no way, this song is from 2007, quite recent actually"
So I guess it depends on what other papers they have been reading :D
France starts moving government systems from Windows to Linux
France is ditching US software for homegrown alternatives of Google Docs, Microsoft Office, Zoom, and Telegram
Libre Office is very good.

aí vc tem que chamar eles por um diminutivo menor ainda: "Mas meu querido Alexinho, txutxuko, vem cá" :D
eu tenho um conhecido, Samuel, que fica p da vida quando chamam de "Sam".
Eu já sou meio q o oposto: me apresento como Léo, assino Léo, e fico triste quando depois disso continuam me chamando de Leonardo. Parece que tão querendo se distanciar de mim.
A paper plagiarizing my JTB article

Grateful to the editors for taking this seriously. 1/3
Would you like to learn more about SQL or are you more interested in DuckDB's internals? Either way, you're in luck: Professor Torsten Grust (@teggy.org) of the University of Tübingen published two sets of lectures (almost 300 slides in total) along with their supplementary material.
Microphones Do I really need a microphone?
Yes! You might think you have a booming voice, but It's not about you & folks at the back may be struggling with the echo, or the hum of the air con, or using a hearing aid & induction loop.
If its provided, use the mic.

If I were a Xian I would pay more attention to its book, e.g. Matthew 5:46-47 "For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others?"
"And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies ...Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them." Revelation 13:5-7

People who love the sound of their own voices have always dominated conferences and workshops, at the cost of diverse discussions. Now that they have LLMs in their pockets and are not afraid to use them, how long until experts become complete nuisances? mstdn.science/@leomrtns/11...
I’ve said it before and I’ll no doubt say it again. Universities are roughly 1000 years old. They predate most operating models including capitalism and have lasted for a reason. Installing insecure, helpless managers who ape business methods results in bad businesses, not good universities.
One of the disappointing, though no doubt predictable, aspects of the Internet is we have long since achieved the dream of providing free education and access to knowledge, and most people either don't care or are actively avoiding those things.

everyone’s discussing how financially stupid this is and they’re right but it’s also logistically stupid. zero way to charge foreigners and not locals without a hell of a lot of racism coming out in the wash
Hi all. I am very excited that after 6 years I finally got my phylogenetic comparative methods book and online exercises online. Feel free to use and share. The book is here: nhcooper123.github.io/pcm-primer/. Note that it is not finished, we had to abandon it before the sunk costs fallacy broke us
Been working on a browser version of BRIG. No install. Interactive. Looking for beta testers; message me if you're interested.
My most popular Sora video was “elaborate regency romance where everyone is wearing a live duck for a hat (each duck is also wearing a hat), a llama plays a flute, prestige drama”
I am not sure why OpenAI has decided their compute has more valuable uses & is discontinuing Sora. Really a mystery.
WHO "fact check" tweet about COVID not being airborne is still up.
