One way to work around the administrative overhead of too many grants is to apply for larger pots of money but do it collaboratively with more senior professors who have experience. I personally didn't take any military or NIH funding, just NSF, industry, and foundations.

Traffic from Bluesky's @bsky.app to @theguardian.com is already 2x that of Threads

In its first week on the platform & with 300k followers, Bluesky traffic from @theguardian.com posts is already higher than it was from TwX in any week in 2024, where the account had 10.8m followers, but🧵

Some news: amid rapid growth and some over-enforcement of its community guidelines, Bluesky trust and safety chief @aaron.bsky.team tells me the company will quadruple the size of its content moderation team www.platformer.news/bluesky-grow...

At least one item on his wishlist has been granted: Bluesky has decided to quadruple the size of its contract workforce of content moderators from 25 to 100, the company told Platformer. The move comes in response to Bluesky’s rapid growth since this month’s US presidential election, which triggered a fresh exodus of users away from Elon Musk’s X and over the weekend took the platform past 22 million total users.

Really interesting new paper out of Stanford medicine. On a new set of previously unseen diagnoses, chatgpt scored an average of 90% + explained its reasoning. Doctors randomly assigned to use the chatbot got 76%. Those randomly assigned not to use it got 74%.

Maybe if it's about people who do relevant research you would still get more or less the same people but it wouldn't visibly group them by identity more by interest and what they talk about.

I want to create an incubator that funds atproto/bluesky experimental projects to the tune of $5k-$10k dev grants.

I am sorely tempted to call it “Chemtrails”, because it seeds the ATmosphere

Hit me with your best ideas!
