@voltnederland.org Ik lees in jullie programma dat jullie voorstander zijn van eurobonds. Is dat slim gegeven dat het bij de Fransen maar niet wil doordringen dat ze hun economische beleid op zaken moeten stellen?

Nature posed a variety of scenarios to 5,000 academics around the world to understand which uses of AI are considered ethically acceptable. The survey results suggest that researchers are sharply divided on what they feel are appropriate practices. #Academicsky 🧪
Is it OK for AI to write science papers? Nature survey shows researchers are split
Poll of 5,000 researchers finds contrasting views on when it’s acceptable to involve AI and what needs to be disclosed.

Why Yorkshire? Isn't this account about Attention Scores and Memes?

As I drove from VSFB to LA today I had ample time to think about emergent behaviors, and how non-intuitive they can be. Freeways are weird but can be modeled as arteries carrying thixotropic fluid. Central control would likely get rid of a lot of backups: Maxwell’s Daemon of traffic. 🧪⚛️

A @pnas.org study shows that a seaweed-based feed additive can cut methane emissions in grazing beef cattle by 37.7%, offering a promising path to climate-smart agriculture.

Good to realize how different Bluesky is from the likes of X and Threads.
While Bluesky looks like other social apps on the surface, it’s actually quite different. It’s an open network.
