So Nate Silver is now amplifying Paul Thacker.
Let me tell you who Thacker is.
He purports to be a journalist, but he’s a contributor to the Brownstone Institute, a far-right COVID conspiracy dark money group based in Austin, Texas. Brownstone was founded by Jeffrey Tucker, a longtime right-wing operative and advocate for child labor and youth tobacco use.
Thacker is also the Twitter Files “reporter” who uncritically amplified a BS claim that @taylorlorenz’s uncle owns the Internet Archive.

Once again a study showing interdisciplinarity is more likely to encounter delayed recognition and greater citation sustainability. Didn't read yet, but curious if this is a) simply true or b) has now become something that ppl want to believe and there's bias in the literature.
Looking forward to a critical meta-analysis in 10 years...

In October 2020, Lehrer transferred the music and lyrics for all songs he had ever written into the public domain.[64][65] In November 2022, he formally relinquished the copyright and performing/recording rights on his songs, making all music and lyrics composed by him free for anyone to use, and established a website (tomlehrersongs.com) from which all of his recordings and printable copies of all of his songs could be downloaded.[66] His statement releasing all his works into the public domain concludes with this note: “This website will be shut down at some date in the not too distant future, so if you want to download anything, don’t wait too long.”

It seems that the center of the industry is in Connecticut, while
"Traditionally, the forests of Connecticut, western Rhode Island and south eastern Massachusetts have yielded ample witch hazel to supply the mill. Because of fragmentation of forestland, witch hazel cutters (who typically contract with the mill to supply a fixed amount of witch hazel per season) have had to travel into western Massachusetts and southern Vermont and New Hampshire to obtain material."

Today it's 25C and humid. The butterflies are out in force, and it struck me that it looks like a white Christmas! I wanted to get a picture of a good flurry of them, but they weren't cooperating when I snapped my photos! The one photo looks good and captures some of them.
These are called Cabbage White butterflies.

Open Source NVIDIA Drivers Are Finally Good
If you told me that there was soon coming a time where open source NVIDIA would have good open source gaming drivers I wouldn't believe you but a lot of work...YouTube
Sadly my GTX 1060 won't benefit from this. Hopefully nouveau gets better which makes the 1060 more usable. I will still use proprietary drivers then.
The problem I have with nouveau drivers is that it does not support 2 monitors with my GPU. No way I am going to buy a new GPU.
Made my ERC application public. Since 2022, ~once/month a colleague has asked to see it (also ppl I don't know). As someone who didn’t have access to previous applications, I know it’s hard to imagine what might be completely wrong or missing, especially in small unis that don’t have much funding support. It's a structural problem and unfair that some have examples & others don’t. So here’s 1 example for those who need them.
