No true scientist will outsource the fun of the creative process to a machine. We must focus on finding and eradicating the science operators who will stop at nothing to get more recognition & power. The impostors can be identified. We need to rely more on the good old human interactions.

Not sure how the community will be consulted, but if so this will be really critical and time to be vocal...delegating our peer judgement (admittedly imperfect) to LLM feels like removing the cornerstone of how science works. If this is the way it goes, I'd rather become a teacher or bake bread🤷‍♂️

I've been working on a fast, high-ratio image compressor to try and alleviate the data storage issues myself and some of my colleagues have recently been facing. Before I 'release' version 1, it'd be great to gain some feedback regarding performance and missing features. github.com/jdmanton/rad...

Is it Amsterdam? Copenhagen? No, it's Paris! After years of investment, the French capital has one of the best problems a city can have: bicycle congestion. So if Paris has done it, why wouldn't other cities follow? 📸 Such an amazing photo by @jbpssx.bsky.social

More broadly, the so-called fixes being pushed out, such as age verification, punish the consumer instead of forcing the companies to do better. The whole model of how these things are legislated is backwards. Make the companies fix it, not their users, who are already trapped in a dystopia.

This is the best explanation of the interplay of specs, tests, and implementations that I've read. The point of both specs and tests is interoperable implementations, but that doesn't mean that implementations are always right when they agree.

The main new things in 0.6 are ✨transformations ✨ - adding the "Where" directly to your image data. Some data (e.g., SCAPE microscopy) require a transform to display correctly. View your data correctly, data-duplication free with OME-Zarr 0.6! (UI is WIP, made for @napari.org x napari-ome-zarr)

It is clear that people are using AI to review papers and grants. Often as a tool, not as an off the bottle answer for review (though some do). One of the signs of this is the detail of the negative comments and the errors, often minor and irrelevant to the conclusions. 🧵
