Universities should boycott the sleazy organizations that make money by ranking universities according to questionable criteria using non-transparent methods.
And they're starting to do it! The Sorbonne has just announced that it won't give data to the Times Higher Education rankings anymore. Columbia University and Utrecht University have also quit, as have the medical and law schools of Harvard and Yale.
700 research organizations, funders and professional societies have signed the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment in favor of making scientific research, data, methods, and educational resources transparent, accessible and reusable by everyone without barriers.
But we're a long way from getting there!

Why the world’s top universities are abandoning the ranking system
Institutes are questioning the value and methods used by ranking companies, which can focus more on research output than other parameters.Sioux McKenna, The Conversation (Scroll.in)
Intanto, il #copyleft continua a rappresentare una forza etica essenziale per difendere il #software #libero e la condivisione digitale aperta. Negli Stati Uniti, cresce la preoccupazione per i router #TPLink, con possibili divieti per timori di spionaggio cinese dopo il caso #TikTok.

Niente sesso, siamo Agcom. La delibera AGCOM che impone la verifica dell’età per l’accesso ai siti per adulti, tramite SPID o CIE, è molto più di una misura a tutela dei minori.
È l’idea che per proteggere gli innocenti (i gattini) si debba sorvegliare e recintare l’internet libero degli adulti (le tette). Un pericoloso precedente per la privacy, un modello di controllo digitale che erode i diritti fondamentali con la scusa del “se non hai nulla da nascondere”

So we have a new cooker and hob. And, of course, it is possible to connect to your phone. Like everything.
Why would I want to control my cooker from my phone? If I need to switch it on, I need to be there to manage is, to check it.
So no, I am not going to connect it to my phone.
Also, fuck off making everything connectable to hackers (corporate and personal).

Fun fact about the X/Twtiter advertising policy which helps you understand why the platform is so much flooded with #Russia disinformation:
- Twitter restricts advertisers from a small number of sanctioned locations such as #Cuba, #Iran and pre-2022 #Russia occupied locations such as #Crimea - but not #Russia as a whole, even after 2022!
- Twitter allows a number of countries as “available for self-serve ads”, including USA, European Union and Ukraine - but not Russia!
What this means:
- Russian entities can freely buy promoted posts targeted at any audience globally, including EU or Ukraine
- Nobody can buy promoted posts targeted at Russian audience
Must is literally shielding Russian audience from any moral decay from the West someone would want to promote, while widely opening flood gates for the disinformation paid for by Russian entities.

‼️ The Russians have started using FPVs controlled via 4G, which are delivered to the Ukrainian rear by other Molniya-type UAVs, — Flash.
The FPV is mounted on a regular Molniya, which flies into the rear for several dozen km, after which the FPV takes off and, guided via the Ukrainian LTE network, searches for a target.
Yesterday, such a tandem attacked a civilian minibus in the village of Mykolaivka, Sumy region, 35 km from the border.

🔹 A joint debt without assets.

☢️ Putin Threatens Nuclear Weapons After Failed Talks with the US — NYT
Russia tested two threatening nuclear-capable weapons designed for a possible decisive battle with the US.
The Kremlin’s efforts have so far failed, and Trump has made it clear that he will not make business or energy deals until Moscow ends the war. But nuclear weapons are one area where Moscow may see an opportunity to engage Washington.

“Three rounds of talks between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul have led to tangible results, including the exchange of prisoners and the resumption of direct dialogue between the parties."

I met myself
Coming back
From being lost
In the misty tops
And I wanted to say
Stop
There are new roadworks
at the dangerous bend
And the way is closed
And now I’m flying
With the gulls
And the crows
And my world is lit
With gold.
I met myself
Climbing the hill
And wanted to say
To me, to you
Just stop there
Wait a while
And enjoy the view.

Andon Labs ha provato a testare gli LLM Claude, GPT-5 e Gemini come "menti pensanti" dei robot: fallimento totale. Uno ha citato HAL 9000 prima di spegnersi. Un altro è caduto dalle scale. Gli umani hanno vinto 95% contro 40%.
Nel film "L'Uomo Bicentenario" (che voi lettori di FP sembrate conoscere tutti), Andrew impiegò 200 anni per diventare umano. Beh, siamo lontani. Questi LLM hanno impiegato 200 secondi... per perdere la testa.

We can't stop climate change now. But we can decide how to try and survive it.
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Who decides how we adapt to climate change?
The question is not whether we will reshape our institutions to manage climate impacts, but howLeah Aronowsky (The Guardian)
Things are cripplingly bad at the moment. They're bad for everyone, I know that.
I'm tired, I'm ill, and I'm broke. These signs are pretty much my only source of income. If you're thinking about Christmas, please consider buying gifts in advance because the way things are going I'm not sure I'll be selling them much longer.
I'm sorry, I still can't ship regular orders outside the UK, because the world and postage costs have gone mad.
Some places are already hitting adaptation hard limits at ~1.5ºC of heating.
We are currently 97% certain to cross 2ºC. If we continue to heat at 0.3ºC per decade we will reach this in ~17 years.
Mass global climate migration looms very large on the horizon.
We are not ready.
