Looks like yes, their servers are rejecting requests from microsoft edge specifically.

Is anyone else getting 403 errors when opening any @figshare.com site using Microsoft Edge? I can't tell if this is a browser thing or a work firewall misfire.

I don't know if @icklenellierose.bsky.social is crying tears of joy or excited expounding on the many wonders of this game, but I'm hopwful she gets some telepathic signal every time someone discovers this.

I've started clipping various short segments from some of my live and interactive virtual "weather and climate office hour" sessions. While I always record and publish the full conversations uncut, they can be a bit lengthy. :) Here's the first batch!

fyi if you want to work with me for some reason

Interesting. I've never heard moving van, always moving truck (even if it's a van). Regional differences?

Ohhh! Yeah. Maybe that's why? Definitely a lot of coriander!

Either way, I'm surprised at the sloppiness by Kitchenaid, which posted a quarter of a billion dollars of revenue in 2024 (ecdb.com/resources/sa...). I'd assume they could afford a professional website with quality control.

What's the verdict? I don't really know. I'm not an expert on LLMs (or on cooking, for that matter!). But the discrepancies make the most sense to me if this recipe is really a Frankenstein of other recipes, whether constructed by human or LLM.

4) Finally, the recipe seems incomplete. It concludes with preparing the garnishes and setting them aside.

To be honest, this one seems pretty reasonable. I know what to do with taco ingredients. But it feels weird for it be so incomplete.

3) The sauce calls for 1/2 cup of olive oil, half an onion, ~half a cup of roasted red peppers, a lemon's worth of juice, etc. It makes a *lot* of sauce.

The recipe then calls for you to use only 2 Tbs of sauce.

??

Why not call for fewer ingredients? The lemon juice alone was more than 2 Tbs.

2) "Place all sauce ingredients into the blender", but there are no indications for which ingredients are for the sauce. My best guess was the peppers onwards.

Could be human sloppiness, especially if this recipe was copied from another format. But LLMs also struggle with consistency...

1) ingredients are a mix of units. Coriander is listed in grams, other spices in teaspoons/tablespoons. Why? Seems like a weird choice for a human author.

Peri peri shredded chicken tacos | KitchenAid UK Spicy and smoky, with the sweetness of honey and ripe mango, these tacos are guaranteed to impress. Made with a KitchenAid blender and mixer.

Got a stand mixer recently (YAY!) and thought I would try out a recipe that uses it, from the manufacturer's website.

Annnnnd.... now I'm playing the game "Recipe written by LLM or just weird?"

I'm not the only one with this problem??

@theabigailthorn.bsky.social has an awesome recent video that does a deep dive on the "population crisis"! And yeah! Racism! Plus also maybe scheme to privatize pensions? And other stuff. It's a great watch.

This is great! I did this in grad school with a random service. But I really wish I had used GitHub pages back then. Highly recommend! Plus it's valuable to get some exposure to git / GitHub!

One of my students is having trouble submitting her GRFP because the submission site is not recognizing her Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts sub-headings. Has anyone else run into this problem and found a solution? It doesn't seem to be a font face issue.

Congrats!!

Would any fluent speakers of Korean or Chinese have a couple of minutes to review some updated pkgdown translations at github.com/r-lib/pkgdow... ? These were generated by claude code, so they're probably ok, but I'd love a human to double check.
