BioRender pulled off this wild trick where they convinced an entire community to acknowledge their software in every figure, slide, paper, and talk... as if it's is fundamentally different from the other software tools that we employ without constant and explicit acknowledgement.

What I like about Inkscape is that it reminds me of the old days when programs would unexpectedly crash, and thus rewards my deeply ingrained habit of saving every 15s.

Cool. Cool cool cool.
Real estate investors, both individual and institutional, bought one-third of all single-family residential properties sold in the second quarter of 2025.

That is an increase from 27% in the first quarter, and the highest percentage in the last five years, per CNBC

GISAID on providing data to @Nextstrain.org: "After consulting with our staff and advisors on the feasibility of keeping your global tree up-to-date, there was a clear consensus that continuing to generate, zip and move big files back and forth is not sustainable and a waste of resources."

For folks doing academic faculty hiring — 

What kind of platform does your university require you to use? Interfolio? Avature? Something else?

Are you able to batch-download the dossier PDFs, or do you pay for someone to hand-download them all?

Children are wonderful. However, there are situations in which parents must minimize time spent on an activity while maximizing a child’s enjoyment of it.

Here, we analyze the problem of a bedtime routine that involves playing CandyLand w a toddler who does not take kindly to losing... 👇
Have you ever wondered how to ensure a loss in Candyland though?

This makes me so hopeful 🥹

Does anyone know of similar comparisons that focus on task-specific evals (like medical tasks)?
A ton of attention over the years goes to plots comparing open to closed models.
The real trend that matters for AI impacts on society is the gap between closed frontier models and local consumer models.
Local models passing major milestones will have major repercussions.
