This one paragraph in Julia Doubleday's excellent new post is why I sometimes feel despair about my professional role as a small cog in the system to generate and disseminate public health evidence

HICPAC's strategy for dealing with the entirely new paradigm uncovered by engineers and aerosol experts in 2021- because, bear in mind,
the work of scientists like Linsey Marr showed that no viruses are spreading via "droplet" alone,

the way scientists formerly conceptualized their transmission
- is utter denial.

It would be too disruptive to decades of infection control norms to acknowledge that SARS-COV-2 came in like a wrecking ball to previous guidance;

thus, HICPAC members are pretending they've never even heard of COVID.

Watching their public facing meetings is bizarre;
hours of academic debates where the pandemic isn't mentioned,
followed by 45 minutes of activists explaining that they are unable to access medical care,
or that their loved ones caught COVID in the hospital and died.

HICPAC members remain utterly stone-faced throughout these sessions and fail to acknowledge the comments at their next session.

As water can wear through stone, steady pressure and semi-confrontation could wear through those stone faces. I sure hope it's sooner rather than later.


Clean energy jobs grew 4.2% in 2023, the US Department of Energy said, a rate more than double that seen in the economy as a whole, per Bloomberg.

Il y a un truc que je ne pige pas ? Je croyais que la chambre devait donner son approbation au premier ministre par le vote de confiance ?




It has happened more than once in #neuroscience that what looked very much like a decision when observing the behavior, lost the 'air' of decision-making upon neurobiologiocal scrutiny.

What actually is a decision and how do we best study them?

If I understood what I just read, you are positing that the "losing" stimulus is perceived, but the organism is prevented from acting on it, and here:

>>As an aside: if so, what are the ‘losing’
>>stimuli perceived as?

you are asking about the conscious experience of the organism. Does the "looming threat" look the same as always, or does it look different as a result of blockade of the neurons that would respond to it as a threat?

I was wondering if you have any kind of answer?

Yes, this is precisely what I meant, and I can only speculate what flies may experience.
When drunk, people often don't take dangerous situations seriously, even though they can perceive most aspects. Maybe at the end of courtship, flies experience something related?





🚀 I just converted my open source projects to use uv for installation, with the new setup-uv action ( github.com/astral-sh/setup-uv ) and tox-uv ( pypi.org/project/tox-uv/ ). (They already used uv’s 'pip compile' command to pin test dependencies.)

For the smaller projects with fast test suites, I saw up to a 3x improvement, thanks to all the setup overhead shrinking (e.g. 1m40s -> 40s).

A new version of check_es_system, an #opensource #monitoring plugin for #Elasticsearch, is available!
The latest release 1.13.0 fixes a cert-based authentication bug and improves the plugin code.

What is a decision?

In a discussion about what decisions are, John Krakauer emphatically pronounced that "decisions happen for reasons", in answering 'no' to my question if it wasn't a decision with which foot to start walking from a stand-still. A recent article from the laboratory of Carolina Rezaval in Birmingham studied a decision-making process in male Drosophila fruit flies where the reasons for each decision seemed apparent.
