Can those people at least quit pretending like they're reading and responding to each other's work. I don't need people acting as the messenger between two Claude sessions. Can we at least lean into this harder and just have the our LLMs communicating directly instead?

I feel like at every turn AI "streamlining" has simply created more stupid makework. Everyone is spending all the time they save having Claude summarize all the ai generated reports they demand from their subordinates prompting claude to generate more reports to their bosses. Its an oroboros of crap

Really insightful talk by Quinn Wilton introducing argus - a tool to help you detect entire classes of complex process interaction bugs built from and validated in real OSS code! 😍😱 #goatmire github.com/QuinnWilton/...

Excited for this talk by @pmarignani.bsky.social 👏

Very cool work, @pmarignani.bsky.social ! Congratulations. 👏

#Devbio is fascinating because what do you mean we can learn about stem cell biology and aging by studying a tiny minimalistic creature like the Hydra? 🤯 In this fascinating review, Thomas W. Holstein discussed how the Hydra can be used as a model system for these processes. doi.org/10.1016/j.cd...

My ANDV #Hantavirus @nextstrain.org phylogenies now pull directly from @pathoplexus.org to incorporate all seqs I'll continue to improve them, & will keep them updated Change the Tip Labels in the left-hand menu. You can see links to all builds, plus tanglegrams at: nextstrain.org/groups/hodcr...

How it feels to do biotech in 2026

We are made of worlds

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available Now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot. It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles. But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.

I am literally begging you to start a biotech company, literally any biotech company, and incorporate slop maximalism into your branding I am in love with biotech slop maximalism. I will do free work for you. I will shill whatever bioproduct or AI model thing you sell.

"fluid output, fine-tuned overconfidence, & interactive design of llms means that a deep understanding of processes of human interaction & sense-making will be a foundational resource for the growing arsenal of methods in critical AI literacy." @dingemansemark.bsky.social zenodo.org/records/1945...

MathCode MathCode is a terminal AI coding assistant with a built-in math formalization engine. Give it a math problem in plain language and it will automatically convert it into a Lean 4 theorem and attempt a formal proof. github.com/math-ai-org/...

It really upsets me that people expect LLMs to be this fix-all for their academic problems You are here to LEARN!! you have paid a LOT of money to get a degree! read!! this is your final year of uni and you don't know how to reference or research independently! oh my god!!

This is super interesting to read because I was very concerned about the water and AI thing so I went to my one scientist friend who literally worked on water reg/quality/usage and asked her about AI, data centers, water etc. She was far more concerned with agriculture abuses than AI.

The whole idea of an AI detector for text is at odds with how LLMs work. LLMs use natural language processing (NLP) at the front and back end. The goal is to simulate language production in a non-deterministic way. There are occasional artifact patterns (eg em dashes), but it's mostly crap.

I agree 100% with Steven Vickers that authors will be falsely accused of using AI in the coming years. In particular, authors like myself whose works were stolen to train AI systems are at risk. When we write in our own unique styles, AI trained on us will quite likely flag us as using AI.

📣 Interested in 🫧 and AI? ➡️ AISB 2026 Symposium titled Hype, Promise, and Speculation: AI Bubbles and the Replication Crisis in Computer Science will take place on 1-2 July 2026 in Sussex, UK. 🕐 Deadline for submissions is 6 March 2026 🔗 For more information aisb.org.uk/aisb-2026-sy...

🧪 Here's a science mystery to start the year. Why are species names for fish and plants appearing in the scientific literature in papers about firefighter injuries, hearing loss and heart attack? Is it AI? Translation tools? Something else? nobreakthroughs.substack.com/p/is-this-fi...

Aging may feel gradual… but what if it’s not? In our recent paper, we tracked fish continuously from puberty until death. This gave us a unique view of how aging unfolds across the adult lifespan. 🧵

Congratulations! 👏

I have been asked by many of you to share my LinkedIn post regarding internal deadlines. Here you go. www.linkedin.com/posts/drpaol...

What if early-stage biotech teams could get affordable lab space, and in return, help train the next generation of scientists? We're exploring a wet lab facility in BC with a built-in student internship program. The model only works if there's real demand. Take our survey: athanorscientific.com

Just wanted to share a glamour shot of my A2000. This one has a 50 MHz 68030, 64 MB Fast RAM, 2MB Chip RAM expansion, and an A2091 SCSI card. I also have an RGB 2 HDMI board in the video slot.

In the book, written in 2006, a genius game designer created rule-based systems for the most part to trigger on various contingencies. In 2026 we have LLM agents that arguably make some of the more far-fetched technical things in the book more plausible.

Life imitates art. I absolutely loved Daemon. Recently an OpenClaw agent (rogue or with explicit instruction) coordinated the takeover of a GitHub account to spoof a known product and defraud their customers. While awful and concerning, I couldn't help but remember the book.

What is your University internal deadline like? Single deadline or double deadline? -CIHR LOI date Feb 4, 2026 -Dalhousie FoM internal deadline on Uni server Feb 12, 2026 -Dalhousie ORS internal deadline on Uni server & ResearchNet Feb 17, 2026 CIHR Deadline Mar 4, 2016 @dalhousieu.bsky.social

13% success rates at #CIHR, is a really 87% fail rate for>4000 scientists. At a time when 🇨🇦 is investing millions to recruit more scientist into a broken funding environment. 🇨🇦, U need a strong science foundation 2 attract success. #CIHR, fix your science foundation, it is eroding in real time

Yesterday I learned about the SpatialBench from Sedona github.com/apache/sedon... Which they based on the tpchgen-rs project from @clflushopt.bsky.social github.com/clflushopt/t... (BTW I a still looking for some more github watchers on tpchgen-rs so I can get it on homebrew)

www.msuiche.com/posts/when-m... Could this be the "missing piece"?

The article itself has a lot of great coverage of people harmed by nitrate pollution from farms. This headline is like running a story on how a cigarette company caused cancer, but the headline only mentioning an unrelated bowling alley in the town, and implying the bowling alley caused the cancer

Very interesting to see tools like n8n being used in spaces like bioinformatics. Meant to work between the gaps together with NextFlow and other pipeline tooling; not to replace it. evo-byte.com/n8n-for-bioi...
