Locational Price Signals in Europe
As Europe strives to become the first climate neutral continent, grid congestion is becoming an increasingly urgent issue, with the potential to lead to large-scale curtailment of renewables and undermine the system’s security. Accordingly, the Mission Letter to Commissioner for Energy and Affordable Housing Dan Jørgensen lists the task to improve locational price signals.

Prompt Injection Attacks on LLM Generated Reviews of Scientific Publications
The ongoing intense discussion on rising LLM usage in the scientific peer-review process has recently been mingled by reports of authors using hidden prompt injections to manipulate review scores. Since the existence of such "attacks" - although seen by some commentators as "self-defense" - would have a great impact on the further debate, this paper investigates the practicability and technical success of the described manipulations. Our systematic evaluation uses 1k reviews of 2024 ICLR papers…

A proud achievement of my half-century IT career happened in 1996 consulting to the #UNDP toward the first published edition of the Humanity Development Library.
It seemed easy enough: "It can be fairly estimated that 1/3, or about 20 million pages of UN, and as much University and NGO material are very useful. Those 20 million pages useful UN publications probably contain about 50% of solutions for major World problems. This information must be released in digital format for non-profit redistribution in all countries."

Happily, not only did the project live on, but thanks to @… our once-intractable problem of global delivery is now globally solved!

Beginner's Charm: Beginner-Heavy Teams Are Associated With High Scientific Disruption
Teams now drive most scientific advances, yet the impact of absolute beginners -- authors with no prior publications -- remains understudied. Analyzing over 28 million articles published between 1971 and 2020 across disciplines and team sizes, we uncover a universal and previously undocumented pattern: teams with a higher fraction of beginners are systematically more disruptive and innovative. Their contributions are linked to distinct knowledge-integration behaviors, including drawing on broad…

Good Morning #Canada
The 2nd last province has arrived on Day #11 of our series The Dirt on Canadian Farming. What will be the final province? The suspense is killing me!
Manitoba is home to 14,791 farms on 17.1 million acres and, in partnership with Saskatchewan, invented Canola. So Canola and wheat dominate as crops, but a very close 3rd is Hogs, and the average farm in that sector has 5,000 pigs. Not surprising since the Bacon Centre of Excellence is located in Manitoba. Like many of our provinces with large tracts of fertile land, the agriculture in Manitoba is varied, which helps to create stability from year to year. They passed PEI in potato production a few years ago, placing them 2nd behind Alberta. They produce 72M eggs and 1.7M turkeys every year, and ranked #3 in Canada in beef and bison.

Day 8 (a bit late): Timnit Gebru
Academic authors are authors too, and there are a bunch of people I deeply respect both in my fields and adjacent.
Gebru is someone I have huge respect for because she stood up for her (mild, completely reasonable) principles to the point of losing her job on Google's AI ethics team (since disbanded entirely), and then went ahead and founded an independent research institute to continue doing AI ethics research.
Why was she fired? Because she insisted on publishing her "Stochastic Parrots" paper after it passed Google internal review only to have extra nonstandard scrutiny applied at the last minute. Why did Google want to suppress her paper (which included an academic co-author)? Because it expressed valid criticisms of the large language models fad, and Google was planning to make money off that fad. Personally, I don't think I'd hire an "AI ethics" team only to then try to suppress their publications, and Google seems to now agree, having scrapped the team (during the initial furor, Timnit's boss also effectively quit to support her).
That "Stochastic Parrots" paper? Indeed, it predicts the core underlying problems with large language models that lead to so many of their user-side harms today. You can read it here: #20AuthorsNoMen

PreprintToPaper dataset: connecting bioRxiv preprints with journal publications
The PreprintToPaper dataset connects bioRxiv preprints with their corresponding journal publications, enabling large-scale analysis of the preprint-to-publication process. It comprises metadata for 145,517 preprints from two periods, 2016-2018 (pre-pandemic) and 2020-2022 (pandemic), retrieved via the bioRxiv and Crossref APIs. Each record includes bibliographic information such as titles, abstracts, authors, institutions, submission dates, licenses, and subject categories, alongside enriched p…

From Passive to Participatory: How Liberating Structures Can Revolutionize Our Conferences
Our conferences face a growing crisis: an overwhelming flood of submissions, increased reviewing burdens, and diminished opportunities for meaningful engagement. With AI making paper generation easier than ever, we must ask whether the current model fosters real innovation or simply incentivizes more publications. This article advocates for a shift from passive paper presentations to interactive, participatory formats. We propose Liberating Structures, facilitation techniques that promote colla…

How much are LLMs changing the language of academic papers after ChatGPT? A multi-database and full text analysis
This study investigates how Large Language Models (LLMs) are influencing the language of academic papers by tracking 12 LLM-associated terms across six major scholarly databases (Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, PubMed Central (PMC), Dimensions, and OpenAlex) from 2015 to 2024. Using over 2.4 million PMC open-access publications (2021-July 2025), we also analysed full texts to assess changes in the frequency and co-occurrence of these terms before and after ChatGPT's initial public release. Acro…

We need to stop the endless reporting of whatever claims cybercriminal threat actors make on their leak sites because, in many (most?) cases, they are untrue, and yet so many outlets report them anyway.
In this case, HSBC denies the breach, and yet that doesn't stop folks from writing "news" reports about it. These outlets are taking the frequently false word of cybercriminals at face value and clogging up my news feeds.

On a practical level, I think the UK should immediately revert to the pre-2021 proscription of Hamas (between 2001 and 2021 a distinction was made between militant operations and civil administration).
(Separately I also think that Palestine Action should be de-proscribed until the government is prepared to make a public case.)

Beyond Productivity Gaps: Temporal Patterns of Gender Differences in Scientific Knowledge Creation
Gender inequality in scientific careers has been extensively documented through aggregate measures such as total publications and cumulative citations, yet the temporal dynamics underlying these disparities remain largely unexplored. Here we developed a multi-dimensional framework to examine gender differences in scientific knowledge creation through three complementary temporal dimensions: stability (consistency of performance over time), volatility (degree of year-to-year fluctuation), and pe…
