If an organization that is entrusted in doing public good is out of nowhere taking away ownership of open source software from their maintainers—it seems pretty clear who the villain is; especially if their main sponsor (who is likely behind this) _refuses to make any statement_.

State of Europe’s environment not good: threats to nature and impacts of climate change top challenges
Significant progress has been made in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, but the overall state of Europe’s environment is not good, especially its nature which continues to face degradation, overexploitation and biodiversity loss. The impacts of accelerating climate change are also an urgent challenge, according to the European Environment Agency’s (EEA) most comprehensive, ‘state of environment’ report, published today.

Anybody have a good picture of research posters hung up in a department building at a university that I can link somebody?
I'm specifically NOT looking for pictures of posters on display at a conference poster session, or examples of a good/bad poster, which is all I can find on google images.
I'm talking about posters hung up in front of department offices or labs in a random university building.

I often find it gut-wrenching to watch the snail’s pace at which established scientific knowledge trickles into the public consciousness.
The study of income inequality is a good example.
In 2001, Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez published a landmark paper which showed, for the first time, that US top income shares had been on the rise since the 1980s.
Piketty and Saez’s work has since been replicated and expanded numerous times.
In short, scientists know that the US …

Partisan Politics and the Road to Plutocracy – Economics from the Top Down
In this essay, I take a deep dive into the history of American plutocracy and its conspicuously Republican roots.

I'm right chuffed! Even just after watering it, and having the door open for a while, our greenhouse is between 25-40 degrees C, in the last week of winter. We've already got a bunch of seedlings coming up. I think it's going to be a good summer for veggies in our household. Now if I can just find a good spot to plant that Avocado tree... 🤔

Democrats see themselves as the opposite of Republicans, but the fact that this is wrong becomes obvious during a government shutdown. Both parties agree that violence and cruelty are essential functions of the government. Neither believe that services outside of terror are essential.
The truth is that Democrats recognize that services are useful for keeping the poors from revolting, while Republicans believe that they can simply murder away any resistance. Republicans have been trying to end food stamps for longer than I've been alive. They've always believed that anyone who needs support should either die or become a debt slave. (When snap doesn't come back, just wait for companies to start offering pay day advances backed by police collection.)
The longer benefits are stopped, the more they can "cull the unproductive." Cruelty has always been the point, and Democrats are not ideologically prepared to oppose them.
No, the actual opposite of Trumpism is anarchism. We want to specifically shut down the infrastructure of violence. That's what we mean when we're talking about opposing the state. The other stuff, the stuff Democrats see as optional, we see as so essential we can't trust it to the whims of politicians.
We want all services to be directly democratically controlled, preferably at the most local level possible. We want it to be impossible to shut down the things we share, water services, sewer, internet, mass transit, childcare, public media.
When we talk about "community self defense" we don't mean cops protecting businesses from the consequences of their actions, from those who oppose their use of slave labor or their environmental destruction. We don't mean border patrol kidnapping people so their bosses don't need to pay them, or just straight up carrying out ethnic cleansing. We don't mean organized terror against people escaping environmental or political crises created by, or with the help of, the government attacking them. No, "community defense" means doing what people are doing every day to protect their neighbors against this shit... Shit that Democratic politicians agree is "essential."
Republicans want to destroy every good thing the government does and rule by terror alone. Anarchists want to destroy all institutions of oppression and terror so we can build all the good things together. Democrats are a compromise between the two.

Good Integers: A Comprehensive Review with Applications
For nonzero coprime integers $a$ and $b$, a positive integer $\ell$ is said to be \emph{good with respect to $a$ and $b$} if there exists a positive integer $k$ such that $\ell$ divides $a^{k} + b^{k}$. The concept of good integers has been the subject of continuous investigation since the 1990s due to their elegant number-theoretic properties and their significant applications in various areas, particularly in coding theory. This paper provides a comprehensive review of good integers, emphasiz…

Good Morning #Canada
It's National Goose Day, which was intended to celebrate a roasted Goose or a special hello between very good friends. But we'll direct our energy towards the #CanadaGoose who should be our national bird but instead lost out to the Blue Jay. The original naming of the bird that really hates golfers (I'm having a flashback) is somewhat controversial. Most point to an ornithologist named John Canada, which sounds logical, but others suggest Mark Catesby (1682-1749) or Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) were responsible. Regardless of who originally named the species, we all should use the correct reference, which is Canada Goose. There is no such thing as a Canadian Goose unless they're carrying a passport.

The irony is not lost on me that working from ostensive definition — “supervised learning” in the biz — is in fact an area in which modern “AI” excels: “Here are 10000 pictures of cats, and 10000 pictures of not-cats. Now, is this a picture of a cat?” Machines have got pretty darned good at that in many spheres.
Does that mean we could train an AI to definitely answer whether AI is in fact “intelligence,” since intelligence is in practice defined by example? In short, no — and I think there’s a spark of insight in answering that question:

Does anyone have good reading material or experience to share regarding credit-based flow control systems, strategies for designing effective ones, etc?

So I've read a lot of both academic and "popular" criticism of AI; spanning decades from the 1940s to now.
I think both things are good and proper and needed.
And further than that I posit that you actually need at least some bombastic and "flashy" writers in order to reach more people
What's kind of funny is that in many of the academic critiques of AI the authors comment on how their colleagues came belligerent and hostile towards them because "they aren't writing seriously"—this is found all over Weizenbaum, Dreyfus, Anders, etc.
Anyway, READ MORE OLD BOOKS :)

I know it was 3000 years ago now, but I want everyone to remember that Portland beat Trump last time because normal people came out every night to resist.
Portland made Trump look weak once. He pulled out everything he had to terrorize and intimidate people, and federal agents got pushed out of the city anyway. He was embarrassed. Now he can do more and he probably thinks that he has more time, but Portland maybe able to prove him wrong.
Portland ended Trump's presidency once, and it can happen again... especially if Portland keeps doing a good job of reminding everyone that the whole invasion is an attempt to distract from #Epstein.
