In one of my recent blog posts, I talked at length about the virtues and advantages of building personal information intake system around RSS feeds. You get privacy and ownership over the distribution of information without any black box algorithms deciding what to show you (which inevitably ends up focusing on ads or engagement bait at some point). However, no system is perfect, and building your beautiful garden of RSS feeds is no different.| Tom Burkert

Nearly three years after ChatGPT’s debut, generative AI continues to reshape scholarly publishing. The sector has moved from experimentation toward integration, with advances in ethical writing tools, AI-driven discovery, summarization, and automated peer review. While workflows are becoming more efficient, the long-term impact on research creation and evaluation remains uncertain.

Between a political policy environment focused on defunding and deleting data collections – an environment in which little can be trusted – and an onslaught of new AI tools that feed indiscriminately on data, bits of information at the intersection of rows and columns are appearing in headlines more than ever before. To avoid cultural memory loss, we must build systems that save what humanity needs across disciplinary silos rather than saving some archives and losing others through an acc...| The Scholarly Kitchen

Intellectual property and trade secrets in the modern era are predominantly stored as electronic records, or electronically stored information (ESI), which in turn increases the potential for misappropriation, exfiltration, or theft of these sensitive documents to unauthorized parties or entities outside the company domain. Historically, these electronic records have been saved to hard drives, file […]| Ocean Tomo

Introducing Workload Entries: Bridging Kubernetes and VMs Historically, Istio has provided great experience to workloads that run on Kubernetes, but it has been less smooth for other types of workloads, such as Virtual Machines (VMs) and bare metal. The gaps included the inability to declaratively specify the properties of a sidecar on a VM, inability to properly respond to the lifecycle changes of the workload (e.g., booting to not ready to ready, or health checks), and cumbersome DNS workar...| Istio Blog

I recently watched a great interview of the mathematician and Fields medalist (2022) Hugo Duminil-Copin by Science étonnante (aka David Louapre). At some point, there was an interesting discussion on the role of AI in the discovery of new mathematical findings.
