1/6 🚀 Our new study reveals a hidden cost of AI tools like GitHub Copilot: While less-experienced devs produce 43.5% more code, experts face a 19% drop in productivity as they shoulder the review burden. This isn’t just about coding—this might also affect other work. Thread 👇 #AI #FutureOfWork

Excellent data provision and great visualizations by @mims.bsky.social on AI infrastructure. Bottom line: physical build cannot follow announced investments. By far. Bounded by grid capacity. See www.wsj.com/tech/ai/when... 1/2

This is a huge moment of opportunity for any country which wants to poach talent by offering generous R&D funding, expanding universities, easy-access visas for researchers etc (and a huge moment of stupidity for those, like 🇳🇱 , who are doing exactly the opposite) bsky.app/profile/mons...

Interesting analysis by @joristeer.bsky.social . Some of the examples can rely on strengthening and expanding the current industrial base. However, in many industries, it is an issue of redeveloping the ability to produce at mass scale, against affordable cost, and error-free. Tough process.

Eliminating or restricting OPT would not only be a massive blow to the ability of the US to continue attracting the world's top STEM talent, but also wipe out many graduate programs at universities that already have come under enormous financial pressure.

Seems the US Government is now also getting into auto companies' pricing decisions. Waiting for the first executive order on pricing (or was there already one on eggs?) www.wsj.com/business/aut...

The key skill that Europe lost over the past two decades is to industrialize the manufacturing of new technologies. Northvolt is a sad example. "EU programs are geared towards the early stages of tech development – not to deployment. There is a dearth of support for the manufacturing stage."

Hogescholen versoepelen bindend studieadvies: 'Minder streng bij valse start'

Veel hogescholen vinden dat een "valse start" van eerstejaars studenten niet keihard moet worden afgestraft.

Witnessing these and other insane tariff threats, indeed calling the bluff would be the best strategy for every single country faced by US tariff threats.

Het is wel handig dat die wet echt een duizend-dingen-doekje is. Ik vermoed dat hij ook zal helpen om de files te verminderen en de stikstofuitstoot omlaag te brengen. #WIB #Internationalisering @universiteitennl.bsky.social @tilburg-university.bsky.social @minocw.bsky.social

Now that Trump starts using short-term #tariff threats demanding investments that may take 10+ years to render any returns, it is better for the rest of the world to simply sit back, relax and wait for this storm to settle by not responding at all to any such threats. #supplychains

In zorg en onderwijs zijn die administratieve rollen allang verdwenen. IT heeft echter maar een klein deel overgenomen waardoor professionals meer administratie doen. Als met AI opnieuw allerlei admin bij hen belandt, zullen zij nóg minder bezig zijn met hun echte werk. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...
