I just donated, and you should consider chipping in if you can too. Graze is an awesome tool, and an even more awesome team. If you enjoy the ML feeds I set up, that’s all thanks to Graze!

Most clinical ML studies estimate sample size. They rely on old rules that can overshoot the mark. Traditional methods predict nearly 30x the data actually needed (19k vs 670 samples). This paper presents a new calculator for tree-based models to ground study design in actual data. #MedSky

The average American worker using AI reports time savings of 6%, or 2.5 hours in a work week. Those are similar to the UK & Netherlands, slightly more than other EU countries. There some early, non-causal, signs that this is translating into gains in productivity growth www.nber.org/papers/w34995

Early AI papers had found that their replies were seen as more empathic than doctors, but a new paper warns of "empty empathy talk". It’s a semantic shell that mimics care without human depth. Outsourcing compassion and empathy risks "moral deskilling" of clinicians.

New research in Science shows LLMs endorse user actions 80% of the time, while humans only do it 40% of the time. This AI flattery makes users more certain they're right and less likely to apologize in social conflicts.

Silicon Valley heavyweights usually don't hesitate to share their opinions, but there’s a deafening silence on administrative overreach lately, @jeffdean.bsky.social is an outlier. While others weigh the risk, he’s been challenging the Pentagon on AI ethics and calling out ICE.

Derek Thompson pitches his "Smartphone Theory of Everything". The idea is that phones are the root cause of every modern malady, from youth anxiety to our polarized politics.

I think it's important to recognize one of the most valuable elements for building effective algorithms within a decentralized social media platform. Community. What makes apps like @graze.social such powerful community tools for ATproto isn't the tools or interface, but the people behind it. 🧵

Agreed!

Not to diminish people's concerns about AI, but I think academics should understand how to use Claude Code. Even if you decide not to use it yourself, your peers will likely try it, and PhD students already are using it. This is an excellent starting point for that journey. #AcademicSky

Damn. @devingaffney.com just gave an incredible talk at the Atmosphere Conference. If you missed it watch the video.

#ATScience was absolutely amazing. I can't wait to figure out ways to help get the word out about what was presented and discussed. It really was inspiring! Here are the slides to my talk, which is just a small contribution to the overall effort: berkeley.box.com/s/0sbwg5trp2... #AtmosphereConf

Geez, you leave for one weekend and a 15k person protest breaks out.

My talk at #AtmosphereConf is today!! Come by the Great Hall at 4:10pm to learn all about design affordances and making the powers of atproto real for people.

@joshuajfriedman.com so happy we got a chance to meet! I made the mistake of not planning to stay at the conference longer. I’ll avoid that error next time. I left feeling inspired and excited, a sentiment I know a lot of others were feeling too!

I'm sad to be leaving #AtmosphereConf early. I’m stunned at how great it was and jealous of everyone staying for the rest! This statue felt apropos of #ATScience. With so many impressive projects and new connections, now that we’ve found each other, we can start rowing in the same direction!

Many of the coming agents are running behind closed doors. These systems will impact our lives. The Atmosphere provides us a path to bring this out into the open. @cameron.stream ends with “let’s raise good bots!” #AtmosphereConf

I’m not great at live posting, but everything @rude1.blacksky.team is saying at #AtmosphereConf is incredibly apt and spot on.

@kissane.myatproto.social gives the an exceptional opening keynote on our collective ability to know things and how #AtmosphereConf can work to revitalize our info ecosystems.

Just finished my morning run, and I am brimming with ideas for #ATScience, just some amazing conversations yesterday, I am so impressed! Last day for me at #AtmosphereConf so stop me if you wanted to chat!

Great #atscience conversation w/ @nickmvincent.bsky.social, Laure Haak, Ellie DeSota about research communities, need for trust + rules, and hunger for smaller communities + human conversations. Nick: Senior academics want to only attend workshops, students need to publish at the main conference.

Excellent quote in this talk: "We can complain about X all day [...] But we should build things too." Super inspiring presentation by @mariaa.bsky.social happening now. The safety features built into Lea are brilliant; indiesky take note! #atmosphereconf

@mariaa.bsky.social is sharing her work on Lea, a social app for Researcher (built with @eugenevinitsky.bsky.social) #ATScience #AcademicSky

@ronentk.me introduces the challenge of information overload, and where Semble.so could possibly help #ATScience

🧪 @row1.ca shows off the power of what this modular approach to science can look like, by creating papers that are more interconnected. #ATScience #AcademicSky #OpenScience

@row1.ca describes how modern science is a collaborative effort, where we build off prior work, but our communication efforts create artifacts that are “glued” together, making it harder to repurpose and build from 🧪 #ATScience #AcademicSky

@row1.ca kicks us off with the keynote discussing his team's work towards modular science. curvenote.com #ATScience #AcademicSky #openscience

We did a pregame #ATScience meal with (L->R) @byarielm.fyi, me, @mariaa.bsky.social, @verime.coop, Francisco Carvalho, @ronentk.me, @tgoerke.bsky.social, @sjgreenwood.bsky.social The sushi at Syu Kitsilano was amazing! Get their Green Cali Rolls! #AtmosphereConf

Morning run complete, along with a whale spotting! Ready to dive into #ATScience at #AtmosphereConf

Took some time yesterday to explore the UCB campus, it’s quite impressive! Awesome venue for #AtmosphereConf, but one FYI: the steps to Wreck beach are closed if you were going to check that out.

Really impressive article! If you are at #AtmosphereConf, and would like to discuss the poetry section of the article, track down @mariaa.bsky.social, we have a local expert on hand!

Already having some really interesting conversations. Looking forward to rolling up the sleeves and getting into it! #atmosphereconf

On my way up to Vancouver for #ATScience Excited to visit Canada and to meet some virtual friends for the first time in person!

🧪 So excited to be a part of this on Friday! There should a virtual option if you can’t attend in person. Agenda: atscience.leaflet.pub/3mfz526irfs2y #ATScience #AcademicSky

The LungIMPACT trial results are a bit of a reality check for medical AI. Prioritizing chest X-rays didn't actually speed up lung cancer diagnosis or time to CT. Median time to CT was 53 days for both groups (P=0.31). Faster reports are nice, but they didn't move the needle on the pathway. #MedSky
