OK, this is kinda a heady one. My & my coauthor's paper on a new way to build ML architectures and algorithms on graphs is now under review (and available on the arxiv!):
arxiv.org/pdf/2508.00197
We demonstrate ways to build an algebra of growing sequence of graphs.

Hey if anyone is considering backing up any datasets for some reason today, the Open Science Framework has free storage up to 5G/private repository, and up to 50G/public repository.
(The OSF is run by a 501c3 (Center for Open Science), so if you do this you might also consider making a donation.)

BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order threatening to override families with transgender youth and shut down access to gender-affirming care for trans people under the age of 19 nationwide.
This order will not take immediate effect, and we will not allow this policy to stand.

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

The US Constitution does not grant the President this unilateral authority.

With the exception of the 'wind' one, these were all generated with code I use to do research!

I usually donate every year but I made an extra one when the deranged sociopath targeted Wikipedia. Like all of the extreme right, Musk doesn't want the public to have any access to truthful information. While you're at it, check out freeourfeeds.com, which aims to billionaire-proof ATproto/Bluesky.

The tech space has done everyone a disservice by clumping machine learning (actually useful), LLMs (jury's out on how useful) and some kind of promised future AGI (almost certainly vaporware) in the same AI bucket, and increasingly sweaty leaders in the space like Altman sure aren't helping

So energy …
Fusion’s gonna work.
Fusion is going to work. Um. On what time frame?
Soon. Well, soon there will be a demonstration of net-gain fusion. You then have to build a system that doesn’t break. You have to scale it up. You have to figure out how to build a factory—build a lot of them—and you have to get regulatory approval. And that will take, you know, years altogether? But I would expect [Helion 20] will show you that fusion works soon.
20 Helion, a clean energy startup backed by Altman, Dustin Moskovitz and Reid Hoffman, focuses on developing nuclear fusion.
In the short term, is there any way to sustain AI’s growth without going backward on climate goals?
Yes, but none that is as good, in my opinion, as quickly permitting fusion reactors. I think our particular kind of fusion is such a beautiful approach that we should just race toward that and be done.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:66lbtw2porscqpmair6mir37/bafkreiee7jjkbneuad2nrf4n2muxyl4ud6st5pnnr37b6tqep2nhnyreby@jpeg)

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.
