In our last release, we added 49 new rules, the biggest batch in a single release since 2.0. Today, we're releasing 2.6.3, with 33 new rules across Vue, Svelte, and more, with plenty of bug fixes!

God, this is scary. They are killing science in universities and are pretty open about that. What’s unclear is whether they honestly think this is good for science, or consider it to be acceptable collateral damage of hurting universities, or don’t care as long as it funnels money to corporations.

Tyler Cowen interviews OSTP Director Michael Kratsios. A few points of the conversation worth highlighting:

GM. We are going to win. An internet where 4 corporations wall us all into their surveillance state and make us pay rent forever is just incompatible with human flourishing. The only question is how long it takes everyone propping up history's worst billionaires to figure this out.

My naive expectations for the 21st century didn’t involve nearly as many Nazi parties garnering popular support, careful parsings of whether this or that policy or group was really Nazi, or powerful figures in this country exhibiting Nazi sympathies.

LLMs are going to fundamentally change what scholarship is. Pumping out true propositions used to be a viable career. Now much of that can be offloaded, leaving scholars the tasks of understanding, synthesizing, and deciding what is valuable. Goes for math, philosophy, parts of physics.

Four billion years ago, Earth was a sterile rock. Today it is teeming with life, from simple microbes to extraordinarily complex societies that span the globe. How does that happen? I'm writing a book about the answer: Life Unbounded, from Quanta Books. www.quantabooks.org/books/life-u...

The fact that stuff like this is not treated like a five-alarm fire is another signal of how close we are to a possible end to our republic. No institution willing and able to curtail a lawless administration.

Latest example of "You Can Just Do Stuff" governing taken to the extreme. The judge can't physically enforce his or her own ruling, the White House controls law enforcement and Congress won't impeach.

Astro DX in Biome is about to get better, thanks to @erika.florist and @astro.build

Thing I didn’t anticipate about living through civilizational decline is how many people responsible for the decline would be loudly convinced they were saving civilization.

Really enjoyed this

This week's NOVA is Decoding the Universe: Quantum. I am one of the talking heads! I think physicists are going to struggle talking about quantum mechanics as long as we think of the quantum state - not our observational outcomes - as representing what is real. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t06a...

This Fauci hearing is the biggest explosion of right wing brainworms I've ever seen. Years of debunked and absurd antivax and "gain of function" conspiracy theories expressed as incoherent screaming at an 85 year old man. It's absolutely demented and embarrassing to watch.

Moreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"

futureboy1983.bsky.social reposted

The Fauci show trial is an amazing illustration of the fundamental immaturity and insecurity of the modern right. What really outrages them is that he dared to suggest that people make sacrifices for the common good. So much of X/techbro/manosphere thought is just insisting that should never happen.

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

There will be no reason for the next president to keep around the previous president's personal military squad.

Not that we didn't know this already but having ICE - whose jurisdiction has absolutely NOTHING to do with elections - investigate voter fraud gives away the game. ICE is no longer a legal entity bound by laws and norms, it's Trump's personal force, focusing on whatever he wants.

Well the President just paid millions after being found guilty of sexual assault, and has made billions off of blatant corruption, and has overseen numerous murders, and is openly working to overturn the results of free elections. The standards for political scandals have gone up!

There was an era when this would have been one of the biggest scandals in modern political history. That era was five years ago

Ben Franklin was pretty good at distinguishing science from quackery even at a time when the line wasn’t so clear. (It’s much easier today, and so many people are still bad at it.)

Julian Sanchez@normative.bsky.social

Just had the minor thrill, in the process of researching the 1784 Mesmer Commission, of coming upon some interesting Franklin correspondence that (as far as I can tell/recall, will need to double check) is not mentioned in the major histories of the subject and seems of at least some interest.

Today in 1955, Bertrand Russell issued the Russell-Einstein Manifesto in London, calling upon every government on Earth to prevent a nuclear war by publicly renouncing war, abolishing thermonuclear weapons, and pursuing “peaceful means for the settlement of all matters of dispute between them.”

futureboy1983.bsky.social reposted

Scientists, especially younger ones, are going to have to come to terms with the idea that “doing science” is no longer enough. We all have to fight for science: what it means, what are its values, and why it matters.

Scientific research in the United States might not collapse with a bang, or with a whimper, but with a rule change. And it's not just Science. This rule change hits DOE, DOT, VA, HUD. ALL federal grants are at risk. www.theverge.com/science/9576...
