This report in Nature on the costs of competing for & administering scientific grants is shocking: "In other words, European taxpayers will have spent more on the funding process than on the funding itself, and the scientific ecosystem has been drained." www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪

And look, here's the thing, AI *can be* amazing. But the hype over generative large language models obscures the really profound, meaningful breakthroughs, as @mmitchell.bsky.social breaks down for us here: www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/15/1...

Journals need to find an alternative to email for communicating with reviewers. I get 10 to 15 emails every day from trash journals that I block. Some legitimate journals likely get blocked too. Maybe a Discord for the publisher with channels for each journal that interested reviewers can opt in to?

Burned some AmigaOS Kickstart 3.2.3 ROMs for my Amiga 1200 last night. #amiga #amiga1200 #retrocomputing
