🇵🇸 Gaza Needs Your Support: Help Build a Lifeline for Students and Remote Workers!

In Gaza, war has destroyed homes, blocked roads, and left countless people without work. Yet, amidst the rubble, hope remains. Students and remote workers face daily struggles—power outages, broken internet lines, and a lack of safe spaces—making education and work nearly impossible. But Gaza’s youth refuse to give up. They just need a chance. And that chance can come from you!

@yy has a Claude Scholar project that tries to use #AI for benefits without the downsides:

"The key design principle is that these skills don’t try to do the thinking, researching, or writing for you [...] Instead, the plugin focuses on concrete, verifiable tasks that are tedious to do by hand but where correctness is easy to check."

YY's Random Walks: Measuring disruption and Claude Scholar plugin

Two things this time: a new paper on measuring scientific disruption, and a Claude Code plugin for academic workflows.

This is an excellent article on the relationship between research, understanding and the use of large-scale language models in academia: https://ergosphere.blog/posts/the-machines-are-fine/ #academia #llm #ai #science
The machines are fine. I'm worried about us.

On AI agents, grunt work, and the part of science that isn't replaceable.

Combat hunger in Gaza: help families access internet to work remote jobs. This isn't just survival, but also rebuilding careers that then reinvest in Gaza itself. This is why Spark Space considers this work—providing subsidized or free internet & electricity, plus workstations and other support—resistance.

This is our duty. Keep it open: https://chuffed.org/project/spark-space-gaza
