The same picture as in the original post but with "ecology" and "ecological models" written in the appropriate places in big black text with a white background.

🧰 Resources for PhD students and young researchers

The past few days, I have been collecting useful resources that might help younger researchers:

- academic writing advice
- data-management warnings
- econometric tools and methods
- and a few other things

Wow! A source for that info? And any notion of the energy footprint of training recent OpenAI models (probably différent from Mistral)?

21.01.2026 06:14 — 👍 2    🔁 0    💬 2    📌 0

No idea what is a realistic estimate of usage per training run.

20.01.2026 18:18 — 👍 2    🔁 0    💬 1    📌 0

If I read correcly, Mistral says that the energy footprint of training is about 18 billion times a standard response (20.4e6/1.14e-3). How many queries does a model serve in its lifetime? w. 1 bn: training footprit/query ~18 times higher than the per-query usage. w. 10 bilion ~1.8 times higher

Thanks for the analysis! This does not include model training, right? Do we have a notion of how much the training represents in terms of energy consumption?

I watch the bulk of ashleythebaroness videos, despite rarely sharing them.

But this one hit today.

And she's right! We're not dealing with some foreign ideology. We're dealing with a uniquely American phenomenon.

This is a great paper on residential segregation in Europe. See how Western Europe is rather much segregated.

Thanks for sharing this! I am confused about the meaning of the different shades of grey in the figures. Why do we have 2 different shades and two different instances of the dark grey in figure 2. panel C please @pwgtennant.bsky.social ?

I'm exited to announce a new resource about making slides with quarto and revealjs. This book is the combination of all the work I have done in this area, reordered and polished up

There isn't a lot of new information yet, but this format allows me to add more easily

Just in case you were wondering why capital letters are also called "UPPERcase" :)

Happy to announce ✨quarto-revealjs-editable✨

This fully supersedes the imagemover extension, as I back then didn't realize the potential. You can now also move, resize, change font size and alignment for text in your slides
