Reading www.404media.co/how-ruby-wen... (ok, I'm a bit behind), and saw "this whole affair is an example of why this stuff gets really messy when people start getting paid, and once you start introducing formal organizations and employees and nonprofits and lawyers and all this kind of complexity"
How Ruby Went Off the Rails
What happened to RubyGems, Bundler, and the Open Source drama that controls the internet infrastructure.

Work programme 2026-2027: the Netherlands takes the next step towards open science | Open Science NL
With its second work programme, Open Science NL takes another major step towards making open science the norm in the Netherlands. On 14 November, the Steering Board approved the programme for 2026 and 2027. It outlines thirteen funding instruments covering the full spectrum of open science, ranging from citizen science hubs, AI, replication studies, to open science infrastructure.

Good work at @ncsaatillinois.bsky.social's Center for AI Innovation is being recognized internationally 🙂
Extremely impressed by what U Illinois have achieved with in house LLM services using their local HPC investments and open source models and tools. This is what I’ve been advocating for UCL and they’ve proved it can be done.

In honor of my recent academic promotion, I got to choose a book for our library to buy and put a bookplate in, so I chose this book by Greg Wilson. Tonight was the ceremony for me and the other 145 people promoted this year, where I got to see it in person.
