Any Profs, PI, lab administrators willing to share their exciting self-hosted and open source solutions to facilitate the onboarding process for new students in your group?
Or alternatively, more generally, are you using self-hosted solutions for your research group's day to day activities?

📣 I’m recruiting 1–2 #HCI PhD students interested in spatial computing, #AR, and #HRI. More information: https://parastooabtahi.com/applicants
If you’re interested, apply to Princeton CS by Dec 15 and mention my name in your application.
Regularly spending time in the #metaverse still feels like science fiction to many — perhaps partly due to limited access to #VR equipment or because the technology's usefulness for everyday tasks is not yet evident to everyone. Meanwhile, regular users spend more and more time in virtual spaces, sometimes even disconnecting from the physical world.
The question how these two groups can be brought closer together will be discussed by Hugo do Nascimento from Federal University of Goiás in our upcoming #sfbtrr161 lecture. One of his research projects aims at creating bridges between virtual and physical spaces and investigates how an interaction between the two could be designed.
📆 Monday, December 15, 4 to 6 p.m.
📍 University of Konstanz, Room ZT 702 & online

Know a designer who insists their flow is “faster” without ever measuring it?
I wrote a short, practical guide on using Keystroke Level Modeling + the TAPS Framework to quantify the actual time and cost impact of design decisions.
Make design measurable.

Can digital signatures stop misinformation?
A new #WJDS paper by @xot argues they can’t: Digital authenticity alone doesn’t guarantee truth, there are major practical barriers, and potential negative side effects.

Next was a great talk by Duncan Brumby investigating why people keep using LLMs despite them failing to improve outcomes at OzCHI: Australian Conference on Computer-Human Interaction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y4ehueNSpY (7/9) #AI #HCI
We're admitting PhD students! (Possible co-PIs include @Zittrain @ianarawjo if interests align.) Here's what we're excited about pursuing with new students:

Team @karioshci has been hard at work, and I'm pleased to announce some upcoming changes that will provide customers with a lightweight, simple, and robust alternative to VMware.
Here is a nice little snippet of the latest work we did to integrate SeaweedFS.

Rewatching 2001: A Space Odyssey reminds me how early Kubrick explored AI alignment, system autonomy and human-machine trust. HAL feels like a prototype of today’s multimodal, high-stakes AI. Sci-fi, yes—but also a roadmap for modern tech.
