From November 17th to 22nd, 2024, HPC professionals and researchers gathered in Atlanta, Georgia, for the Supercomputing Conference 2024. We presented a paper at the 2024 International Workshop on Performance, Portability, and Productivity in HPC where we introduced CARAML, a reproducible AI benchmarking framework, and jpwr, a custom energy assessment module. The presentation slides are embedded at the bottom.
We are looking for two PhD students interested in the regulation of habit formation. Habits are useful to decrease cognitive load, but carry the risk of becoming stereotyped and hard to control – it’s hard to shake a bad habit.
The path to strengthening immunization systems requires innovative technical assistance approaches to learning and capacity building.
TL;DR: Anticipating Biological Risk and the Impact of AI Biological risks, whether from intentional misuse or accidental release, are a growing concern in an age where AI and biotechnology intersect.
In a recent heart-wrenching event, a mother orca whale has been spotted carrying her deceased calf once again. This poignant display highlights the emotional depth and bonds that exist among these magnificent creatures. The behavior of the grieving orca provides insight into the impact of loss within the animal kingdom, especially among marine mammals.
Since most of my education has taken place above the organism level, and since my current job concerns sub-organism processes, I want to get more familiar with those sub-organism things. So I’m reading and taking notes on my blog about the stuff I’m reading.
DOI: 10.60804/0sak-7g76 We are pleased to announce the launch of the ‘Implementing data evaluation in academia’ Working Group, a partnership between Make Data Count and HELIOS Open.
Another year, another edition of “the papers I selected for a module that I teach”. Previous selections are grouped here or here. The list serves as a snapshot of interesting papers published in the previous 12 months or so. I hope it is useful to others who are looking for lists of papers to read, for student selections or for anything else.
The Rogue Scholar science blog archive depends on RSS feeds to automatically collect metadata and content. Atom, JSON Feed, and JSON APIs (e.g. for the WordPress, Ghost, or Substack platforms) are closely related to RSS. The Rogue Scholar API understands these different formats and regularly (currently every 10 min) checks participating blogs for new or updated content and associated metadata.
