The JMLR story and operating model should be widely known in academia as a clear success story for full open access. I have friends in the humanities and pure sciences that have no clue this is even possible

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Why is nobody calling these people what they are: racists And why does this racist still have such an elevated position in the conservative party? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

This is grotesque: the Trump regime wants to give 9 universities, including my alma mater MIT, a leg up on federal funding in exchange for their servitude. I have to hope MIT and the others have the integrity to tell them where to shove it. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/u...

My family came here 50 years ago. They've worked, paid taxes, raised families, been good citizens. My many colleagues and friends who were either born elsewhere, or their parents were, the same. It's so offensive to be told you're here on sufferance.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... It seems Jenrick doesn't "only" want to leave the ECHR but also repeal "a whole series of other laws [...] whether it’s the Equalities Act, the Human Rights Act, the Climate Change Act ...". What a despicable person.

Useful reminder from Peter Kellner on the problems we refuse to acknowledge are getting better, and the politics of hopelessness that this breeds open.substack.com/pub/kellnerp...

.@SadiqKhan responds to Farage’s deportation plan “Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.”

"Independent advisers for the CDC plan to revisit recommendations for Covid shots as well as vaccines for measles and hepatitis B." This is a potentially momentous set of recommendations. Expect the 'findings' to be fraught with disinformation.

Although rare, chickenpox can lead to severe complications. Infection also means parents and kids have to take time off work and school. Free vaccination on the NHS is fantastic news.

We gathered in Kigali 🌍 for the 2025 Deep Learning Indaba. Nearly 3,000 applied, 1,294 joined in person, 400 virtually. 6 days of AI research, debate, teaching & learning. From 300 in 2017 → to a pan-African Baobab tree. 🌳 #DLI2025 @DeepIndaba 1/

It is a (dire) fact that the number of publicly-trans academics is… tiny (a fact due to structural factors). How many of those academics would even have applied to these JRFs? I really can’t understand this trans-exclusionary policy as anything other than an ugly political statement.

Great first couple of days at DLI @deeplearningindaba.bsky.social in Kigali 🇷🇼, some highlights include amazing talks talks by @verenarieser.bsky.social and Max Welling, great pracs and tuts, and of course the opening party ( before the rain 😢) 🎉 #DLI2025

My current obsession is to help accelerate progress in energy forecasting by making it as easy as possible to train, run, and research energy forecasting systems. Here's a post on why & how: github.com/JackKelly/le...

At #NeurIPS2024, the keynote speaker perpetuated explicit racist stereotypes against Chinese students. Generalizations against a community subject to discrimination, even as an “example”, further provokes discrimination. Below, video of an audience member’s perfect response.
