My “Atheist Bible” describes an #atheist view on life, the Universe, and everything. The book will appear in print in 2026, but the BlueSky channel is live already now:

BlueSky launched a method to one’s find friends. Kicked off a shit-storm in the replies, but appears more privacy-conscious than in competing systems (for what it’s worth)...

v1.112 is live!

We’re launching Find Friends, a contact import feature that helps you find people you know on Bluesky.

Try it! In the mobile app, go to Settings → Find friends from contacts.

Read how we took a more secure approach to this than other platforms: bsky.social/about/blog/1...

This guy got locked out of his Apple account, iCloud, iMessages, and physical Apple devices (“out of his digital life”) for an issue with an Apple voucher -- a reminder how much we depend on US technology in our daily lives.

Not that anyone asked, but the country with the World's lowest life expectancy (Chad) has a higher life expectancy than the country with the highest life expectancy 120 yrs ago (Sweden).

Think Science and especially Medicine has somehow failed you? Think again.

Our article on the societal challenges posed by Large Language Models is now available at SIGIR Forum: sigir.org/wp-content/u...
Thanks to Zacchary Sadeddine, Winston Maxwell and @gaelvaroquaux.bsky.social !
Large Language Models (LLMs) may one day replace search engines as the primary portal to information on the Web. In this opinion paper, we investigate the societal challenges that such a change could bring. We focus on the roles of LLM Providers, Content Creators, and End Users, and identify 15 types of challenges. With each, we show current mitigation strategies – both from the technical perspective and the legal perspective. We also discuss the impact of each challenge and point out future research opportunities.
