Carl T. Bergstrom7. So never mind that the NIH wasted massive labor by the best scientists in the game.
It's worse than that. Because in science, universities outsource merit evaluation to the NIH. Want to be hired, promoted, tenured? Go get grants. Never mind that the universities have more, better information.
Last call! Abstracts due March 24 for this workshop on other temporalities in the present - hope to see you in Lund in May for what is shaping up to be a great meeting! https://www.showandtell.lu.se/article/workshop-now-then-and-forever
Long shot ask: has anyone had lenticular postcards made in Europe? If so, can you recommend the graphics / printing firm you used?
Hoping to find someplace high quality for a small order (25-100 pcs) that can deliver within a month or so, 3-6 frames, from color photos, flip-flop or animation effect.Thanks in advance!
Tim VerstynenWriting academic papers sure seems to be the Voight-Kampff test for LLMs.

Social sciences + humanities folks: my wonderful colleague Tobias Olofsson is organizing a workshop on the past and the future - the role of other temporalities in the present. It will be pretty great. Submissions due March 17, meeting in late May when Lund will be full of flowers and sunshine - check it out! https://www.showandtell.lu.se/article/workshop-now-then-and-forever
If nothing else, the Theory and Society debacle is a striking reminder to stop giving our labor to corporations for free. https://scatter.wordpress.com/2024/01/10/questions-for-the-new-theory-society-editorial-board/
Kate StarbirdDiscourse around misinformation doesn't always line up w/ our research team's findings re: how falsehoods actually spread in online spaces. Here, I provide a more nuanced view, describing the problem of misinformation as one of collective sensemaking gone awry: https://www.cip.uw.edu/2023/12/06/rumors-collective-sensemaking-kate-starbird/
Per AxbomAnother sympathy block against Tesla was announced today by the union of civil servants: ST (in Sweden). Postal workers will stop delivering all mail and packages to Tesla starting on November 21.
A sympathy notice means that a union declares their intent to take conflict measures that support another union in their ongoing negotiations. The difference between a sympathy notice and a "normal" notice is that the supporting union is not directly involved in the ongoing negotiations.
This means a total of seven(!) unions in Sweden are now taking action against Tesla.
1) IF Metall: No workshop repair work
2) Transport: Blockage of ports (no car deliveries in the 4 ports of Malmö, Gothenburg, Trelleborg, and Södertälje)
3) Fastighets: No cleaning of premises
4) Seko: Post and delivery blockade
5) Elektrikerna: No electricity work or repair
6) Målarna: No paintwork on vehicles
7) ST: No mail or package deliveries
Background: Tesla is refusing to sign a collective agreement with their union, IF Metall. Metal workers at Tesla’s seven Swedish repair shops have been on strike since October 27. For context, around 90% of Swedish employees are covered by collective agreements. These agreeements outline terms of pay, pensions, and working conditions.
IF Metall has been working on getting Tesla to sign a collective agreement with workers in its repair shops since 2018. Union representatives have said they are ready for a long strike, if deemed necessary.
