#Neurips 2026 call for creative AI papers looks genuinely cool - they're inviting both research papers + creative works. And the research papers can be speculative, critical, poetic & not just applied or empirical. I'm excited about this workshop - deadline is August 3 AOE neurips.cc/Conferences/...

PSA triggered while dog walking- you're supposed to maintain good posture when using a walker & a good PT will help you adjust the height to do so. And provide guidance on placing safety bars and which types make sense for the space.

Would folks be interested in a tools/libraries workshop? Like best practices on the architecture/design side? And would anybody who's actually been published in viz be interested in helping run the workshop?

Been thinking on loop of how untenable it is, for any org of similar scale and scope, that the gov't can cancel and claw back POSE funding if any non-POSE work meets the gov'ts ever changing definition of DEI.

Almost every complaint about "problematic" media aimed at women from that era makes me feel this way cause it often fails to contextualize how progressive a lot of these were for the time (which is probably why they even have enough staying power for folks to have heard of 'em now)

Just watched The Pitt & it's set at a teaching hospital & there's a scene where the main character scolds a resident w/ "shaming and belittling are not effective teaching tools" & I love how this show consistently illustrates that you can employ good teaching practices while maintaining rigor

My biggest frustration w/ critiques of active learning methods - collaborative syllabus, facilitator vs instructor, non-punitive deadlines - is that doing all these things well takes so much more organization/prep/communication/work than top down lecturing.

NYC is facing extreme heat and a flood watch today. But most NYers are not signed up to receive alerts from Notify NYC. Important that you sign up asap. Just text “NOTIFYNYC” to 692-692. It will ask for your zip code to give you local alerts.

On Android, you can check whether you've got emergency alerts turned on by going to Settings>Notifications>Wireless Emergency Alerts. You want to make sure "Extreme Threats" and "Severe Threats" are enabled. On iPhone, go to Settings>Notifications>Government Alerts.

For perspective: a recent study suggested that economic savings from just a *single* well-predicted hurricane, thanks to NOAA research advancements, are on order of *$5 billion.* That exceeds NOAA's *entire proposed annual operating budget.* So much for government efficiency.

New phone, kinda confused about which accounts just logged in vs. which I have to manually log into. Feels semi-random. Which also if I've ignored you on any communication channel, it's likely I missed the notification (this is the 3rd phone I'm using in a month).
