A handful of seats left in #HPC devroom at #FOSDEM, come join us! We’re in a black box in H1308 this year, but there’s a pleasant flow of fresh air… Current talk is by Tobias Kremer (ECMWF) on Zarr More info via fosdem.org/2026/schedul...

Key: accurate and cheap, allowing important and impactful predictions.

We're getting ready to launch - making sure we've got testing, observability and backups all in good order. It's taking a smidgen longer than we hoped but first invites will arrive on the first week of February and roll out throughout the month. Thank you for your patience 🙏

We have to move all major conferences out of the USA. Nobody wants to get murdered by a militia, ergo no one will attend these conferences. I'm looking at you, CVF...

Seems someone is taking the “ATproto is federated” promise seriously and running an instance other than Bluesky: “Blacksky” (so as to limit Bluesky's power of censorship). This sounds like great news, so let's watch how it unfolds.

Moi je m'en branle que les modèles d'IA soient entraînés sur LibGen, mais du coup arrêtez de nous cassez les pieds avec le piratage. Ce qui est choquant c'est le double discours et cette inégalité mais ne comptez pas sur moi pour dire que les Archives d'Anna c'est mal

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

L'Académie des sciences et le CNRS s'unissent pour promouvoir un modèle de publication en libre accès et sans frais. Le 3 décembre 2025, l'Académie des sciences et le CNRS ont signé un accord de coédition des Comptes rendus. Lire le communiqué de presse : urlr.me/ZtXbaK @cnrs.fr

It’s a shame that such important conferences are being held in a fascist and threatening country. I won’t attend.

finally, we're living through precedented times

Si vous vous demandez ce que vous, oui VOUS, pouvez faire à votre niveau quand les USA deviennent une menace pour le monde entier : virer Windows/Mac, les services Google, Amazon. Ne plus *dépendre* d'eux.

Banlieue parisienne. 3 bus différents en 3 jours, 3 bus qui ne se pointent pas. Je plains les gens qui doivent endurer ça au quotidien.

Agreed.

The nature of a lot of jobs is going to go from creating output to directing and verifying the output of AI tools. Software engineering is already halfway there. Many people who got into software because they like writing code will need to find a new source of satisfaction from their work.

Bright days ahead for the C++ language.

I am very grateful to the team working on Asahi Linux. My MacBook M2 is, by far, the best Linux machine I have ever used.

ALERTE GENERALE ! Une pétition a été lancée sur le site de l'Assemblée nationale demandant que le gouvernement arrête d'utiliser X pour ses communications officielles. On signe toutes et tous pour lui donner le maximum de visibilité. C'est ici : petitions.assemblee-nationale.fr/initiatives/...

Doing a PhD is - at heart - one long discussion with your mentor. The discussion changes over time - with unexpected turns and ups & downs - but through it all is a pair of people discussing a topic endlessly to make sense of it. PhD students: choose someone you like to talk to!

Can't wait to attend 😊

Returning from #EurIPS via a long-distance night bus rather than airplane for carbon footprint reason. I think it is important that even senior researchers change our behavior: practices of the elite pull consumption up, asxour reaction to opportunities set norms. PS: I do find it painful 😄

Si vous voulez mon unpopular opinion, je trouve que le NIVEAU des élus qui questionnaient hier Mélenchon est beaucoup plus inquiétant que tous les classement PISA mis bout à bout, en ce qui concerne l'effondrement intellectuel du pays.

Le 1er janvier 2026, le CNRS coupera l’accès au Web of Science, Core Collection et Journal Citation Reports. Une nouvelle étape de sa politique en faveur de la science ouverte pour promouvoir des alternatives ouvertes, transparentes et responsables.

I really enjoyed this post. "Ideas aren’t born in pristine originality. They explode when a familiar pattern is bent at just the right angle." www.joanwestenberg.com/p/originalit...

This makes me proud to primary program in Python. What a great community to be a part of.

"...Trump administration has promised to invest billions in AI initiatives. In response to an inquiry about why this program was cut, the Office of Management and Budget said in a statement that the program, quote, "wasted taxpayer funds to place climate change hysteria in AI models," WHAT?

Still thinking about that scholar who implied replicators just weren't skilled enough to reproduce the effects he uncovered. Sure, lab and field experiments are incredibly hard to set up well. But if our findings are that fragile, what are we even doing?

Having AI crammed down our throats is bullshit, but machine learning has some real uses in science. This awesome page shows experimental cyclone track forecasts from Google DeepMind and Google Research's AI weather models, along with forecasts from ECMWF. 😍 deepmind.google.com/science/weat...

Les modèles de climat ne prévoient pas la température globale(TGLOB) mais 1 valeur en tout point du globe. TGLOB est un diagnostic a posteriori! Leur performance à reproduire le réchauffement global vient de leur succès à simuler ses spécificités physiques locales theconversation.com/5-forecasts-...

[9/10] 👉 Le problème n’est pas « la technologie » en soi, mais qui la contrôle & pour quoi. Refuser en bloc = laisser les dominants capter le pouvoir technique. ➡️ La vraie solution : reprendre la main sur la tech, pas s’en retirer.

Anti-Tech Résistance s’infiltre dans les luttes et ça n’est pas aux personnes minorisées de devoir faire de la pédagogie sur le racisme, transphobie et validisme quand ce collectif soi-disant anarchiste se dit « ni de gauche ni de droite ».

Excellent to see end-to-end encryption messaging for open social and a great complement to atproto, thanks to @tessa.germnetwork.com and team at @germnetwork.com .

I’ve been very dismissive of claims of “chatbot-induced” mental health crises in the past. The more I try to gauge how it works—and how people tend to use it—the more I see how someone young and confused, someone who doesn’t think they’re very bright or is unsure of their own perceptions of reality

At first glance, these figures seem pretty consistent with my own experience.

✨Thrilled to see EurIPS launch — the first officially endorsed European NeurIPS presentation venue! 👀 But NeurIPS now requires at least one author to attend in San Diego or Mexico (and not just virtually as before). This is detrimental to many. Why not allow presenting at EurIPS or online? 1/4

This is not it. AI adoption is slowing in my opinion because it aggressively scales up the problems of handling information while contributing precisely nothing to the solutions. People are justifiably becoming dissatisfied and upset with that.

Scary. Authors building in hidden instructions for presumed LLM peer reviewers (in white text on white background).

I deleted everything. Every note in Obsidian. Every carefully crafted "second brain." Every Apple Note. Every to do list. Every article on my "read later" list. And all I felt was relief. www.linkedin.com/posts/joanwe...

Would you present your next NeurIPS paper in Europe instead of traveling to San Diego (US) if this was an option? Søren Hauberg (DTU) and I would love to hear the answer through this poll: (1/6)

Feels like by the time we’re asking this question the answer is just ‘no.’
