The article itself has a lot of great coverage of people harmed by nitrate pollution from farms. This headline is like running a story on how a cigarette company caused cancer, but the headline only mentioning an unrelated bowling alley in the town, and implying the bowling alley caused the cancer

If @anthropic.com could fix one thing with the claude.ai interface it would be to stop throwing away half completed reponses on error. The responses were captured in the UX; surely also in SOME other server state? Couldn't we gather this and submit as a partial Assistant response to be completed?

Very interesting to see tools like n8n being used in spaces like bioinformatics. Meant to work between the gaps together with NextFlow and other pipeline tooling; not to replace it. evo-byte.com/n8n-for-bioi...

Hooray for an introvert!

So many reasons 2B upset with recent moves by Alberta gov whose current leader benefited from the very #EDI initiatives they intend to dismantle. As academics, we need 2B vocal- EDI initiatives must remain firmly embedded in academia. @cdnwomenstem.bsky.social universityaffairs.ca/opinion/the-...

New rule: no copy/pasting LLM output into documents or emails. If you use generated text, you have to type it out letter by letter yourself, even if you're just transcribing it without changing I think if people do that, a lot of the cringe will go away--inevitably you'll change the tone & details

Wikipedia is seeing a significant decline in human traffic because more people are getting the information that’s on Wikipedia via generative AI chatbots that were trained on its articles and search engines that summarize them without actually clicking to the site www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

The markdown-to-PDF tool that Manus likes to default to does not parse - formatted lists very well. Asking it to use WeasyPrint yields much better results.

Dr. Marignani's example has had a profound influence on me and countless others who have benefited from her generosity, mentorship, and passion for science. Congrats @pmarignani.bsky.social @dalhousie.bsky.social for being selected as a finalist for the Discovery Award Science Champion! 👩‍🔬

People doubted me when I said researchers were moving from #Twitter to #Bluesky. Then @altmetric.com showed early data supporting the claim, and now @whysharksmatter.bsky.social & @drjuliawester.bsky.social confirm it with their research. The trend is real. Switch now! #SocialMedia #X #ResearchSky

10/ Your code may be brilliant. But if users can’t figure out what to run, on what data, and what they’ll get… It might as well not exist.

1/ I’ve reviewed hundreds of bioinformatics GitHub repos in my career. Here’s the brutal truth: most tool documentation fails the people it’s meant to help. And it’s not because the algorithms are bad.

The journey of curiosity is evolving 🦠

After months of designing and making demos, just built a better mouse house that is stainless steel inert, reusable and safe for 🐭. Which housing would you prefer? The red house or the stainless steel custom design housing? #ScienceIsFun #SafeHousing #MouseHouse

Happy Neil day to all who celebrate

Starting experimenting with the compounding error rate of agents that make small errors in small numbers of cells when "chatting with data" using LLMs, and the results are.... not good (if you care about accuracy).

Insightful comments from @pmarignani.bsky.social about opportunities and relation to the research funding ecosystem in Canada.🍁

On echo chambers I think you really can make yourself dumber if your follows are too narrow or your blocks too wide. I want a feed that gently exposes me to contrary opinions, while somehow measuring the temperature of my piss to make sure it doesn't boil over and drag me into stupid arguments
