AI is good for coding and still can't write for shit. Makes you think about who the most highly skilled workers in the economy really were, doesn't it?

not enough of a car guy to argue with you there! buying the first two was more circumstantial than a specific choice but now that i’m up to three subarus it’s part of my gender i fear
my outback was the only manual of the three and experienced some interesting transmission issues for sure
introduce yourself with 3 cars you’ve owned
1996 subaru outback
1995 subaru legacy
2017 subaru impreza
like look at that blue whale I just reposted. Is the blue whale “relevant”? no it’s sublime. it’s transcendent. it’s a blessing from God. these and a trillion other qualities are more valuable than “relevance” ffs you should not even be able to say “relevant” without laughing
Thank you for this thoughtful and enlightening response
what does The Left say about mantle convection tho
there are so many people who could fix this if they just wanted to

bird site post from @internethippo: They taught Al how to talk like a corporate middle manager and thought this meant the Al was conscious instead of realizing that corporate middle managers aren't
white paint on a black wall, part of a room-sized exhibition with more phrases and images cut off on the sides of the image. in the center it says "if you think technology will solve your problems then you don't understand technology and you don't understand your problems." below this, in smaller text, as part of an image of a rabbit and a dog facing each other in a rowboat, it says "a bird piped suddenly and was still. a light breeze sprang up and set the reeds and brushes rustling. a sound so beautiful "I almost wish I had never heard it" said rat"
from the same exhibit, two rats sitting on a couch beneath text that says "waiting for the lab results"
neat thing about repeatedly visiting Laurie Anderson's Four Talks is how you see different resonant lines every time
Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams
a boulder sized block of snow, ice, and sediment has fallen onto the sidewalk and is blocking most of the walkway. there is an approximately 2 foot high wooden retaining wall on the left side of the sidewalk, above which is a moderately steep slope covered in two week old wintry mix, dubbed "snowcrete" by some for its durability
geoscientists, what are we calling this mass movement? goof answers only
Academia is so incredibly fucked up and also a lot of the intellectual work that goes on in the academy is incredibly important
Part of what makes life in the academy tough is holding and navigating both of these truths at the same time

But in the face of increasing state-pressure on scientists, we shouldn’t shirk our responsibility to contextualizing our work in crystal clear terms. And stating clearly what ethical red lines we refuse to cross.
Failing to do so reads as naive at best, and complicit at worst.

Shoutout to those in-between creatures that are impossible to name properly. #FossilFriday
turning off reposts helps a lot too, but not on days like today
do you have one?
all i need is like one good earth and climate science group chat and i could quit this webbed site
Respectfully, is doubling down on paying nazis to distribute your newsletter worth losing the support of this many dedicated scientist-organizers, or would you rather show that you know how to listen to people who want to stand with you?

Screenshot of the wikipedia page for Merychippus, a proto-horse that lived in North America 15.97-5.33 million years ago. It had three toes on each foot.
Merychippus everyone 🎄🐎
theres no W on that compass either lmao
The Trump Administration's plan to dismantle the @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is senseless & dangerous.
It would weaken weather forecasting, climate research, & the science that keeps people safe.
We urge that this plan be abandoned.

Fantastic, thank you! Good compression will go a long way to making any distribution less annoying.
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking, it’s hard to beat a DOI via Zenodo for posterity. Could be a fun web dev project over the break, tho
Very cool, thank you! Making a browsable website on Github pages is certainly an option that I hadn’t considered. In this case they’re thin section images that would be nice to display in a particular way. Was this page part of your paper submission?
a large number of images a few MB each, in folders that are important to preserve
