An incredible event in the history of mankind took place 30 years ago – the voluntary abandonment of the most dangerous weapon that has ever been invented. At that time, Ukraine had the third largest nuclear potential. And now Ukraine is walking around with its hand outstretched, asking for help. byteseu.com/483514/ #RussiaUkraineWar #RussiaUkraineWar #Ukraine

MetOp-SG-A1 complete

With all instruments integrated, the first MetOp Second Generation-A, MetOp-SG-A1, weather satellite is now fully assembled and on schedule for liftoff next year. Meanwhile, its sibling, MetOp-SG-B1, is undergoing rigorous testing to ensure that it will withstand the vacuum and extreme temperature swings of space.

The "all the major journals are just letting blatantly LLM generated papers through" thing should be a way bigger wake up call that science is broken than the daryl bem 2011 ESP paper, but since the obvious prescription is "abolish the whole fucking racket" the response is tellingly tepid.

#OpenScience was all fun and games when it was purity tests and window dressing, but when it comes time to refuse to publish in prestige journals and rebuild anti-profitable human-led communication systems, there isn't much appetite for it.

what if the problem wasn't preregistration or p hacking, but the extractive information industry whose every incentive is aligned against rigorous, accessible, and cumulative information dissemination the whole time?


#Gaza #Palestine

“That must change, and now.”

US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas Greenfield calls out Israel’s evacuation orders on northern Gaza which have encompassed nearly the entire territory, as well as their imposed starvation and potential land grab aims in Palestine’s Gaza.

Since Oct.7, 2023, Israel has killed over 41,900 people and injured almost 100,000 others. During the same period, the US vetoed three different UNSC resolutions calling for a ceasefire in the enclave.

@ramede
Even if the Hague can't bring the perpetrators to justice, an arrest warrant will have a global impact.

The United States and Israel will not care much, but many EU trading partners will have to react if they do not want to end up in prison instead.




What do events/conferences/design festivals/younameit mean to you? I'd be interested in a conversation (here, on other platforms or via email). marcthiele.com/notes/why-are-y…

@btconf Easy - Covid risk, both in the travel to/from and during the conference itself.

@CppGuy @btconf yes, thank you for summarising this!!

It’s not a coincidence that, while we were in Berlin for BT last September that we were infected with Covid (for the first and only time, despite masking everywhere public!), and I’m still suffering and largely bedbound over a year later.

We weren’t infected at BT, but it was difficult to find non-crowded places to sit (masked) to see the talks. The garden area was fabulous though!
