I set up a #Mastodon account years ago (https://t.co/RKV1HZsBwl) but haven't used it much. I'm confused about whether I should migrate to another server before possibly becoming more active. From what I can tell, migration takes non-trivial work.

What was Noem supposed to do? How about this,

"I see my friend Senator Padilla has joined us. Do you mind if I finish my previous answer, then I'll address your question. Do we have a seat in front for Senator Padilla?"

Powerful episode on @yourcallradio about Stanford's Letter Project for end-of-life discussions. These templates help communicate what truly matters before it's too late. Even this Cal Bear admits Stanford does good work🐻 https://t.co/2ET4JJRWOH

Issue seems to be that https://t.co/CtTZW230KD is not redirecting to https://t.co/BJCEM4Hsde — but if I just go directly to https://t.co/BJCEM4Hsde I’m ok

@reclaimai I'm getting a 406 Not Acceptable error on https://t.co/CtTZW230KD right now.

As someone who is pretty good at keeping up with AI, I can barely keep up with it all. That leads me to believe that very few other people are keeping up, either.

So, on one hand, don't feel bad you aren't on top of it all. On the other, it means no one has the whole picture now

The AI Summit ends in rupture. AI accelerationists want pure expansion—more capital, energy, private infrastructure, no guard rails. Public interest camp supports labor, sustainability, shared data. safety, and oversight. The gap never looked wider. AI is in its empire era.

Harvard's Library Innovation Lab just released all 311,000 datasets from data .gov, totalling 16 TB.🫡🫡

This is a complete archive of federal public datasets harvested during 2024-2025, updated daily.

Jimmy Carter's advice to a young person.

My nephew Matthew, now a @Georgetown sophomore, shared this letter with me yesterday. Five years ago, he wrote to all the living presidents and asked for advice on how to participate in public service. Only Jimmy Carter responded. My nephew has searched online and has found nothing similar so believes it not to be a "form letter." It's a beautiful precis on how to live a life of service.

February 11, 2019

To Matthew:

Thank you for your letter. I admire your interest in serving our country and appreciate your desire to begin that service as soon as possible. No matter what the future holds, there are a few things that young people must do to ensure success: Study hard in order to excel in college and learn as much as possible about the things that particularly interest you; be tenacious in fulfilling commitments, whether to others or to yourself; volunteer your time and talents to community projects, learning all you can about the specific needs of the country or state in which you live; and treat everyone—family, friends and strangers—with honest and respect. If you do these things, I’m sure you will find satisfaction in whatever career you chose.

With best wishes,

Jimmy Carter.

Important wake up call:

#H5N1 BirdFlu just sequenced by @CDCgov from severe Louisiana patient

Most important, the H5 virus mutated inside the single patient to gain an ability to bind human receptors in the upper respiratory tract

It takes just one…

[Michael Mina @michaelmina_lab]

H5 BirdFlu continues to spread

CA declared State of Emergency & now a severe D1.1 case in Louisiana

Two main lineages in US - in cattle (B3.13) & in birds (D1.1)

The US should not wait to prepare
So, again, we’ll need fast tests for starters

@2020science Just thought of our conversation from over a year ago about ChatGPT and looked up https://t.co/osENSsNmMU -- surprised that it hasn't been updated since March 2023. Are you still actively working on it? Or the document has reached a level of sufficient maturity already?

@memdotai Now when I was prompted to enter the *Twitter* URL of the validating tweet, I had to change "https://t.co/bF79t23N6z" to "https://t.co/M5HVTf5LIN" I will need to report the problem to @memdotai
