ICYMI: Julia version 1.12 has been released! julialang.org/blog/2025/10... We want to thank all the contributors to this release and all the testers who helped find regressions and issues in the pre-releases. Without you, this release would not have been possible! 💜

DSA stands in absolute opposition to the proposed deal to pass Trump's billionaire budget. Healthcare is a right, not a bargaining chip.

The package now includes MTKParameters for optimization, improved initialization, dynamic optimization, and new polynomial solvers. It's a major boost for modeling and simulation. juliahub.com/blog/what-s-... #JuliaLang #SciML #ModelingToolkit #Engineering #NumericalMethods #ScientificComputing

If, say, Louis Farrakhan was brutally murdered, I hope we would all condemn the murder. But I am pretty sure Republicans wouldn’t be celebrating his life and legacy and insisting no one criticize anything he ever said or did.

LinearSolve.jl just got autotuning 🔥 The problem: picking linear solvers is hardware-dependent voodoo. Solution: automatic benchmarking that tells you EXACTLY what to use. Share the results to improve the system! Details: sciml.ai/news/2025/08/16/linearsolve_autotuning/ #julialang #sciml

The current administration has more successfully destroyed US science and the scientific enterprise than the hypothetical nuclear weapons program in Iran.

That would be a yes!

I've been banging this drum for years now, I know, but Zohran's Big Night is a clear illustration of the power of giving people a vision of the future that boldly contradicts the rhetoric of Republican fearmongers. Not just "disagrees on policies," but actively paints a different image of the world.

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought

The return of Abrego-Garcia to face due process in the US, after Trump officials swore he would never ever return to the US, is a reminder that politics matters and pressure works. Don’t give up. Don’t let the fascists relax.

No one should be detained at the airport for their political speech.

Today, our client Rümeysa Öztürk was released on bail from ICE detention in Louisiana, and she will return to New England to continue her studies. 📸 Giancarlo D’Agostaro

a strong statement from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social on the detention of Mayor Baraka and mistreatment of members of Congress at an ICE facility, specifically noting that agents carrying out Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional orders should expect consequences jeffries.house.gov/2025/05/09/l...

Be like The Verge.

A judge in Vermont has ordered Tufts University student Rümeysa Öztürk immediately released from ICE detention. Öztürk has been held in a notorious prison in Louisiana. She still faces the threat of deportation, apparently in retaliation for co-authoring a piece for her student newspaper about Gaza.

I'll talk about Bayesian workflow Thu 24th April 11-12 CEST in Learn Bayes seminar by Karolinska Institutet @ki.se learnbayes.se/events/bayes... (zoom available) The focus will be different to my previous workflow talks (see users.aalto.fi/~ave/videos....). This time more flowcharts and shortcuts

The new page emphatically promotes a theory that many scientists question. Meanwhile, basic information about COVID testing and vaccines has disappeared.

Today we released a new pair of spins - Fedora COSMIC and Fedora COSMIC Atomic! Thank you to the folks at @COSMIC_desktop and @system76 for helping @ryanabx and the Fedora community make this happen. :) Fedora COSMIC Spin: https://fedoraproject.org/spins/cosmic Fedora COSMIC Atomic […]

A U.S. citizen born in the state of Georgia has been arrested for entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien.” During a hearing in Leon County, his mother presented his birth certificate and Social Security card, but the judge said she had no authority to release him.
