"About 8 in 10 U.S. adults in a Harvard/SSRS poll from March said parents should be required to have children vaccinated against preventable diseases like measles, mumps, and rubella to attend school, including majorities of Democrats and Republicans.
And about 7 in 10 U.S. adults in a New York Times/Ipsos poll said healthy children should be required to be vaccinated because of the risk to others."

Starmer considering new digital ID scheme to tackle illegal working
The prime minister says the proposal could play an important part in tackling illegal working in the UK.Paul Seddon (BBC News)
Prior to air conditioning, home builders employed a wide variety of strategies to keep buildings cool in hot climates, that didn't need artificial power.
Modern builders have completely ignored most of that, but some clever hacks - as well as solar panels & small residential wind supplemental power - can fill in some blanks.
It also helps if you know how double-hung windows are actually supposed to work. (See Alt Text)

Leute, hört auf LLMs (aka KI) für jeden scheiß zu benutzen! Texte, Bilder egal was verbrauchen unfassbar viel Ressourcen.
Das ist aktiver Klimaschutz, wenn ihr selbst denkt.
Die blauen Balken zeigen den Energieverbrauch dieser "Dienstleistung". 2028 wird geschätzt, dass die LLMs die Hälfte der hergestellten Energien auffressen!!
LLMs /KI wird so tatsächlich zur Ausrottung der Menschheit führen. Nur nicht so wie skynet. Mehr so wie Lemminge...

Das Bild zeigt ein Diagramm mit dem Titel "Global Data Center Critical IT Power (Megawatts - MW)" (Globaler Datenzentren-Kritischer IT-Stromverbrauch in Megawatt - MW). Es handelt sich um ein Stapelbalkendiagramm, das die Prognose für den Stromverbrauch von Datenzentren von 2022 bis 2028 darstellt. Die y-Achse zeigt die Strommenge in Megawatt (MW) von 0 bis 160.000 MW, während die x-Achse die Jahre von 2022 bis 2028 abdeckt. Die Balken sind in zwei Farben unterteilt: gelb für den Stromverbrauch von Datenzentren und blau für den Stromverbrauch von künstlicher Intelligenz (AI) in Datenzentren. Die Daten stammen von SemiAnalysis. Das Diagramm zeigt einen stetigen Anstieg des Stromverbrauchs, wobei der Anteil des AI-Stromverbrauchs in Datenzentren zunimmt.

Is anarchist science possible?
As an experiment, we got together a large group of computational neuroscientists from around the world to work on a single project without top down direction. Read on to find out what happened.
The project started as a tutorial on a new technique at the @CosyneMeeting 2022. We realised that the technique was easy and cheap for anyone to use with a lot of low hanging fruit.
neural-reckoning.github.io/cos…
At the tutorial we announced a 1-2 year open research project that anyone could join, starting from the materials of the tutorial, and a few starting questions we found interesting, but with no other constraints. We were inspired by the Polymath Project in mathematics.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymath…
31 people contributed to the project, joining for monthly meetings to discuss progress. All code was publicly available throughout, and when we started writing up the work in progress was also fully public. You can see that version here: comob-project.github.io/snn-so…
Not everyone who was involved made it to the paper (didn't respond or couldn't find contact details), and not all are on Mastodon, but authors include: @marcusghosh @TomasFiers
@GabrielBena @rory
We used GitHub and Jupyter notebooks to coordinate development, with a website showing everyone's current code and results to make collaboration easier. We used @mystmarkdown and GitHub actions to automate this.
comob-project.github.io/snn-so…
So how did it work out? Well, some things went well and others not so well. We published a paper with our results and reflections on the process. If you're interested in spiking neural networks, sound localisation, or anarchist science, check it out:
eneuro.org/content/12/7/ENEURO…
Generally, the infrastructure we built worked well, as did the monthly meetings. Starting from the tutorial was a good decision because it gave everyone a common reference and meant they could easily get started.
However, the lack of direction meant that we didn't achieve very coherent results in the end. We don't think this is a catastrophic problem, but when we try again, this is something we'd like to address. If you have thoughts or would like to be involved, get in touch!
Ultimately, we didn't achieve a scientific breakthrough in this project, but we did show that without top down direction or any specific funding, we could organise a large group of scientists to work together and publish their research in a good journal. We think that's a hopeful sign for the future!

Spiking Neural Network Models of Interaural Time Difference Extraction via a Massively Collaborative Process
Neuroscientists are increasingly initiating large-scale collaborations which bring together tens to hundreds of researchers. At this scale, such projects can tackle big challenges and engage diverse participants.eNeuro

This is very interesting!!
I am interested in knowing how was the feeling with the monthly meetings. In my experience, most of the times only when there are (relatively close) recurrent meetings projects develope efficiently.
Reading the comments below, I ask myself: how was the compromise of the people? Was stable (meaning people attending to most of the meetings)?
Thanks for sharing and documenting!
