Perhaps that's something that's obvious for many, but I wished, as a #PhD student, that somebody told me: It's important as a researcher to have a website to make the own work visible in the way one self wants it to be like, including statements of #research interests and #publications .

I just updated my own website, and used https://jekyllrb.com/ with https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/. You just write website content as markdown and compile a static html page, which can be hosted on github pages.

#SocialMedia: in order to reach as many people as possible, we’ve expanded our social media portfolio. You’ll find the relevant information and links in our news story.

Elsevier appears to be collecting and monetizing our personal data, sometimes without our consent. The data they collect can be used to "extrapolate core working hours, vacation times, and other patterns of a person’s life."

What can we do?

Over 20,000 researchers are refusing to publish, review, or edit for Elsevier. You can also ask them to delete your "non-integral" personal data: https://www.elsevier.com/legal/privacy-policy/data-request

#2 in the retrospective list of music I released this year: a song from my band, The Calm Rads: "Sky Blue".

Recorded and mixed between Chicagoland and the Rhineland, this one is a bit different than our usual sound.

"The chalk lines of the games we played / Are now all washed away."

I think — unfortunately? — we’re going to keep having this same conversation for years.
1. Yes the large language models are impressive.
2. Yes there will be some clever uses of them.
3. No, the biggest uses aren’t obvious now and won’t be for some time. These big uses are likely to be largely invisible. Things will just work better.
4. Yes there are a LOT of problems with them at present.
5. No, it’s not clear they’re a killer tech.
6. The biggest problem is how good they are at fooling people.

End of year countdown of the #music I released this year.

#1, from my solo project, Transits of Mars, "You Said It All". Sort of gentle synth-pop in this case. A friend called it "bleak", which I suppose fits

One of my experiments this year with adding external equipment to my #ardour -based #DAW set-up. (In this case, a Volca FM.)

Like all my music, made with #Linux and #FOSS software.
