SLEEP BETTER!
Three tips to improve your sleep:
- Go to bed 30 minutes earlier than usual on weekdays instead of sleeping in at the weekend 🛏️
- Expose yourself to bright light in the morning as much as possible, be it outdoor or indoors light 💡☀️
- Spend at least 20 minutes in restorative activity daily: reading, nature, music, anything you want, no goals, just restore 📖🌳♫

I realise on the fediverse this is maybe asking for a flaming, but yesterday out of sheer curiosity I tried Claude for a simpleish coding task that I'd been putting off (largely inspired by @… 's latest on #theclimatebrink). The performance of Claude was seriously impressive. I am convinced the AI cycle is more than hype (and have been for a while), the chatbots have been a huge attention hogger, misleadingly so, while the serious work has been done elsewhere. (We are developing ML tools to supplement parts of our climate model workflows).
Now I'm wondering if there is any serious EU competition to Anthropic? - Mistral's codestral perhaps?
Because this kind of performance changes everything and we can't afford to lag behind...

Scientists raise 300,000 surfclams offshore, proving open-ocean aquaculture can work
Rutgers researchers have made a discovery that could change the future of seafood farming in New Jersey. A study led by marine scientist Daphne Munroe has shown that Atlantic surfclams can be successfully farmed in the open ocean. Her research, published in the North American Journal of Aquaculture, proves that offshore aquaculture is not only possible but promising. This method could help meet the increasing demand for seafood while protecting wild clam populations.

As a scientist myself, I have been wondering, if there was a pattern of #Epstein's support to research. In addition to support for "AI" research, there's this:
"One disturbing explanation for Epstein’s support of science comes from his interest in genetic determinism. This idea, which dates to the eugenics era, is still fashionable in some wealthy circles [...]."…

A satisfying outcome of being a scientist is when an organically developed collaborative project comes to fruition, and an early career researcher seizes an opportunity to publish new findings. This is the case for Anthony Arsenault who found that across the Great Lakes, ice stores different levels of dissolved organic matter, which can be very important to microbes during melt to jump-start spring production.

A fascinating thing about so many ostensibly very intelligent "AI-curious" people is that they're—in public—attacking e.g. academics who wrote papers critical of claims of the tech industry, often with wild conspiracy-type theories and ad hominems.

The Canadian computer scientist Bengio expressed concern that AI models – the technology that underpins tools like chatbots – were showing signs of self-preservation, such as trying to disable oversight systems. A core concern among AI safety campaigners is that powerful systems could develop the capability to evade guardrails and harm humans.
