The #dhd2026 badge text adapted for our workshop!

@AlSweigart@mastodon.social 50 million are not sufficient? https://t5k.org/lists/small/millions/

This is wild. #ICML let reviewers individually choose whether they want to work under a no-LLM policy or light-LLM-use policy. Those who chose the no-LLM policy received watermarked PDFs with hidden instructions to include specific phrases in LLM output. Using this technique, they caught almost 800 reviews that violated the policy *the reviewers had chosen themselves*! And this was just a conservative detection approach which fails if the reviewer slightly paraphrases parts of the LLM output.

Just saw that @opencitations@scicomm.xyz has redesigned their website. And they have a new logo!

We've improved @oa_bison@openbiblio.social - the open-access journal recommender! Based on last year's research, we've updated our recommendation method:
- Switched from a custom BiLSTM to Qwen3-Embeddings
- Changed the Elasticsearch scoring
=> the recommendations should be more accurate and less biased by journal size

Under the hood, we've also updated Debian, PostgreSQL and Python dependencies.

ACL switches to ORCIDs (@ORCID_Org@scicomm.xyz) for author name disambiguation: https://aclanthology.org/posts/2026-01-26-new-author-system/

OpenAI buys Astral: https://openai.com/index/openai-to-acquire-astral/

Astral's Python tooling (uv, ruff, ty) is really good but I'm not optimistic about its development after the acquisition 😕
