Robert Hudson reviews The AI Mirror, by Shannon Vallor

The National Zoo’s Panda Cam: What You Need to Know The National Zoo in Washington, D.C., is a beloved spot for animal enthusiasts and families alike. But for those who can’t visit in person, the zoo offers an incredible opportunity to observe these giant wonders right from the comfort of their own home: the National Zoo’s Panda Cam.

por Teresita Garabana La introducción de la moda en la prensa sudamericana del siglo XIX es un fenómeno que, aunque se ha estudiado de forma separada en distintos países, rara vez se aborda desde una perspectiva transnacional. Entonces, ¿qué nos permite conocer el análisis comparativo de la prensa de modas en Buenos Aires y Río de Janeiro?

The Rogue Scholar science blog archive continues to grow, with seven new blogs added this month and more than 24,000 archived blog posts. Luckily, onboarding new blogs is mostly automated, with the Rogue Scholar API handling the blog setup and blog post ingestion from RSS feeds. Some questions frequently come up and I try to improve the Rogue Scholar documentation to address them.

Die Trends aus den letzten Umfragen und Recherchen (Goeritz 2023; Nagel 2023; Petersohn & Thiedig 2023) zeigen es deutlich: Immer mehr Forschungseinrichtungen und Hochschulen entscheiden sich für die Einführung und Nutzung eines Forschungsinformationssystems (FIS), um ihre strategische Auskunfts- und Berichtsfähigkeit sowie ihre Außendarstellung zu verbessern.

Wie gelingt die Reform der Forschungsbewertung hin zu mehr qualitativen und transparenten Verfahren? Mit dem Zusammenschluss in der „Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment“ – kurz: CoARA – versuchen mehr als 700 Wissenschaftsorganisationen, eine Verbesserung der Forschungsbewertung zu erreichen. Zusammen mit der UB an der Freien Universität Berlin hat das OABB kürzlich ein Empfehlungspapier publiziert.

tl;dr: Here’s a how-to for adding some “AI”-poison to your static site that’s hosted on Codeberg Pages (or GitHub Pages ). I’d appreciate some feedback on if this is useful/how it could be improved. If you’re running any type of website in 2025, you’ll likely be suffering from the impact of generative “AI”. Be that “AI”-generated spam posted to your site, crawlers bringing your server(s) down or just having

What is this, two blogposts in one day? My buddy Andrew Wang and I compiled this list of flow battery and related companies over the last few years, now making it public in the hopes of potentially integrating it with FBRC one day. I will try to keep this updated as other companies emerge and existing ones go out of business, new suppliers show up, etc. It’s just a csv.

I remotely attended the “Annual UK Flow Battery Network Symposium” organized by Profs Toghill and Sobrido of Lancaster Uni and QMUL, respectively.

Last week I was making some final revisions to a paper where we used a neat conjoint experiment to test the effect of a bunch of different treatments on nonprofit donor preference. One of the peer reviewers asked us to compare the characteristics of our experimental sample with the general population so that we could speak a little to the experiment’s generalizability.

With a year of preparation and two years of thinking, on September 1st 2024 the Department of Bioinformatics, aka BiGCaT, merged with two other departments to form the Department of Translational Genomics (see also this LinkedIn announcement). This merger creates many new opportunities while it strenghtens our bioinformatics research.
