#SCOTUS just let #Trump take an ax to scientific #research. Justice Jackson's blistering dissent: "By
today’s order, an evenly divided Court neuters judicial review of grant terminations by sending plaintiffs on a
likely futile, multivenue quest for complete relief... With potentially life-saving scientific advancements on the line, the Court turns a nearly century-old statute aimed at remedying unreasoned agency decision-making into a
gauntlet rather than a refuge."

This is a fantastic intro to the open social web tech under the hood of the Bluesky app.
I know folks here are sometimes apprehensive about what the Bluesky PBC is building, but I think it's worth understanding why a whole bunch of nerds like me are excited about AT Protocol, even though we also cheer for, build on, and spread the word about ActivityPub.
@mackuba does a great job of simplifying complex ideas, and I highly recommend giving this a read.

My paper with @maswan
"Life Cycle Analysis for Emissions of Scientific Computing Centres"
has been accepted fro publication in European Physical Journal C !
We develop a detailed model for the LCA of (HPC) data centres, including embodied carbon, server replacement and expansion. It is also applicable to other data centres. We also share the source code.
It shows how important embodied carbon becomes when the grid has more renewables.
Life Cycle Analysis for Emissions of Scientific Computing Centres
We propose a dedicated model to assist with the life cycle analysis of emissions of scientific computing centres.arXiv.org

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •@Gargron I think we have two different definitions of "the open social web." I consider any open social protocol that enables cross-platform interop (and cross-protocol interop for that matter) as a part of that umbrella.
ATProto, therefore, is open social web tech in the same way that ActivityPub and Nostr are, based on that definition.
@mackuba
Laurens Hof
in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •curious gargron, how do you define 'open social web'? is it activitypub, activitypub+atproto, activitypub+atproto+whatever else? i dont think theres a correct or wrong answer here, just that im seeing different people define the term differently, and wondering where you fall
Eugen Rochko
in reply to Laurens Hof • • •Anuj Ahooja
in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •@Gargron I too have started separating "the Fediverse" from other protocol-based networks, like "the ATmosphere", but also say "open social web" as the combination of these spaces. I'm not sure anyone has *decided* if these terms have formal meanings, but I'm more than happy to use specific terms if we all ever align on them!
