Eine handvoll Nerds bereitet die Epstein-Files gerade in Form eines Gmail-Accounts auf, durchsuchbar, nach Themen und Kontakten sortierbar etc. und es ist unfuckingfassbar: jmail.world

Next month the Cambridge Philosophical Society is hosting an event to celebrate David MacKay and his work on the tenth anniversary of his passing. The organizers are soliciting notes sharing how his work has impacted people -- you can submit at docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F....

Wait... they had permission?

This is truly incredible (and not in a good way).

Here's my full 50-page indictment of CBP and ICE and decades of corruption, abuse of force, racism, and misogyny. I promise you — however bad you've ever thought it was, the full reality is even worse, deadlier, and more corrupt. This isn't a "Trump only" phenomenon:

$6M for research in *mathematics* is quite a lot.

Nazi SS troops would have been grateful and much more powerful with Palantir software to select targets for deportation and executions. :| Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE "The tool lets ICE populate a map with..." www.404media.co/here-is-the-...

Important update. Google’s YouTube has not only erased thousands of videos of human rights violations in Palestine, it has now blocked livestreaming from Al Jazeera within the country. If you have not already divested from the platform, now is the time to do so.

Every time I hear some genius bragging about how fast they are learning to code/write/make art by using AI instead of their own brain, I think of Jenko in 21 Jump Street on the drug that makes him think he’s figured out all of chemistry but the whiteboard is just a whole bunch of 4s

A new study from Anthropic finds that gains in coding efficiency when relying on AI assistance did did not meet statistical significance; AI use noticeably degraded programmers’ understanding of what they were doing. Incredible.

NEW: The Israeli military today accepted the Gaza Health Ministry's estimate of 70,000+ killed. But in 2024, 62 Dems joined 207 Republicans to ban the State Dept. from citing the Ministry's stats. Now, even Israel accepts them — perhaps because they realize what is feared: the toll is even higher.

It's truly remarkable how blatant propaganda can be.

Naked imperialism.

It's a big club and you ain't in it.

Deranged psychopath... He was not even expelled from @umich.edu , and his record was wiped clean.

The two party model is a ratchet that moves steadily to the right, regardless of the relative difference between parties. The democrat party today is the republican party of the 90s. In 20 years, people will be arguing that the democrat death squads are better because they are not cannibal rapists.

US Liberals: "This is crazy. This is unamerican. The US does not run death squads All of Latin America:

But then what happens to those that have zero income? 😢

Proprietary encryption is an oxymoron. techcrunch.com/2026/01/23/m...

I would strongly support this. And given the current state of the Brazilian team, I have no ulterior motives whatsoever. 🤥

Apparently the NeurIPS chairs decided to reopen the camera-ready submission to ensure "that the proceedings reflect the highest scientific quality.” @neuripsconf.bsky.social, is that true? So the solution to academic misconduct is to give the authors a chance to cover their tracks?

I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

Lapdog happy he can continue with the bootlicking.

I complain about the steady increase of entropy in the universe, and the best thing I can do to remedy the situation is absolutely nothing.

The nerdiest, and thus best, way of getting a bibitex entry from a DOI is by querying it directly via the command curl -LH "Accept: text/bibliography; style=bibtex" doi.org/10.1016/j.ch... The second best is just to use @zotero.org for everything.

How can null models explain *anything*?

Remarkable speech in its confession that the “rules-based international order” has been a farse all along.

Well, what is the worst that could happen? aje.news/376922

These are the icy mountains of Pluto. It took 9 years to get these magnificent images… and 4.8 billion kilometers.

Stares blankly in Latin American.

This shit has been happening in Latin America and other parts of the world for half a century. Welcome to the club.

American left? Sounds like a great idea. They should get one.

In the 23 years since, the US has had 12 years of democrats in the white house, 6 of them with full control of Congress, and another 6 with partial control.

Both after and before the exchange, neither party, nor the prize, could be attributed with any dignity. It's a pathetic pantomime, but it's somewhat fitting. Frankly, a swag bag is a perfectly valued trade for a peace Nobel.

What was wrong with the bayonet?

“Brave person”

This is awesome.

This is hilarious: creepylink.com

This is a good ansatz as far as the motivation goes, which is based on the minimum description length principle. Unfortunately, this principle is not actually used in the analysis, since no encoding of the data is provided. The paper discloses this fact, but it does undermine the conclusions.

We live in the stupidest timeline.

Devastating statement by the Lemkin Institute. With such a status quo, who needs the AfD? www.lemkininstitute.com/statements-n...

This whole thing about having “well regulated armed militias" in case of government overreach turned out to be relevant after all... Where are they? (Maybe they would appear if the ICE agents were black? They're already killing white people.)

They should exume the one buried with the rotten corpse of Henry Kissinger.

Long overdue refresh of the SocioPatterns website! ✨ sociopatterns.org New content & datasets, and a chance to celebrate 17+ years of collabs, ~100 publications, 2000+ studies using our data. Thanks – more ahead! @alainbarrat.bsky.social @wouter-vdb.bsky.social @foolsdelight.bsky.social @isi.it

"Meso-scale structures in signed networks", new preprint with Wei Zhang (weizhang1995.bsky.social) , Olga Boichak (@ol, Tristram J Alexander, and Tiago P. Peixoto (@tiago.skewed.de) arxiv.org/abs/2512.11281

Great; now Julia programmers will start using this for variable names all over the place.

Extremely disappointed that my current font still shows the incorrect form with 7 eyes, instead of the correct 10. Unacceptable.
