Suomen ilmastopaneelin tänään julkaistu raportti käsittelee askeleita kohti ilmastotehokasta maataloutta Suomessa. Ruoantuotannon päästöjen vähentämiseen on useita vaikuttavia keinoja, jotka huomioivat omavaraisuuden, huoltovarmuuden ja ilmastonmuutokseen sopeutumisen.

Grid-scale batteries are going in an absolutely wild pace. Every whingey objection to renewables you've ever heard is basically solved by batteries. This is happening whether any of the hopeless dipshits running the US want it or not.

Two new facts stand out: 1. 85% of hallucinated citations in preprints are also in the subsequent journal version (thanks, peer review!) 2. Fake cites more likely to use the names of (male) scholars who are already highly cited, creating a fake-citation Matthew effect. arxiv.org/abs/2605.07723

Make America Sick Again

This thread made my day

Plastics now in the atmosphere. Drilling oil seems like a terrible idea in retrospect

This is for *your* kids, you understand. The tech elites send *their* kids to private, screen-free Montessori schools. They know exactly what they're doing.

Reliable official stats are SO important!

This is a "separating equilibrium" -- the competent lawyers know that if they want to have a distinguished career after this administration, they have to stay away from DoJ to not get tarnished. The same of course applies to all departments of government rn. If you lie down with dogs...

Totally agree but also: in my upstate NY town, the dying mall is quickly transforming into a healthcare service location. Dental care, PT, medical equipment etc. Much of the rest of the country is anti-health though so they are just stuck in the "dying" part.

"Electrifying industrial heat in India is now cheaper than producing heat from natural gas and oil across all temperatures, and cheaper than coal in three of five temperature bands, representing 55 percent of the country’s industrial heat needs."

Academic freedom of expression now on par with Angola, approaching Kazakhstan

In the talk, I made the case that medical progress is not the result of a series of lucky breakthroughs, but a continuous stream of innovation: one that we have the power to accelerate, scale up, and reach people who need it faster.

Tax the New York billionaires say heavyweights Stiglitz, Zucman and Mamdani

The Iran War has once again led to a bout of what @isabelschnabel.bsky.social memorably dubbed 'fossilflation'. It's en vouge to talk about the solution as some massively complex undertaking. It really isn't. Get off fossil fuels faster. My latest just out @nature.com rdcu.be/fdxig

Cool! I drive past this cemetery every day, had no idea

AI first-game studios focus on business/user needs rather than technical approaches -- demand pull innovation

If anything will save us, it will be innovation

When people use AI for writing assistance, it can shift their political attitudes by autocompleting sentences in biased ways. Yet people are often unaware of the AI bias & it's influence This is not merely about the facts presented, but how autocomplete worlds www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Mamdani!

Update: The US Auto industry has retreated from EVs. That strategy will relegate them to the domestic market only or to extinction. The world is shifting to EVs. Global sales of fully internal combustion engine vehicles peaked in 2017. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 Paywalled link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Sheesh! I've been saying for years that AI will reduce employment in the short term. In a state of collective hallucination, economists incl those cited in the article claimed it's "complementary." But economists should have been able to think it through 1/ www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/b...

Since Liberation Day, a year ago today: * US foreign direct investment is lower * US factories employ 89,000 fewer people * US goods trade deficit is UP 2% @npr.org www.npr.org/2026/04/02/n...

2025 is very bad but why 2020-2024?

I think I saw this movie 🍿

The key idea in game theory, the mathematical framework for analyzing strategic interactions in business, politics, ecology..., is to think through: "if I do X, what will my rival do?" It seems we don't have nearly enough of that kind of thinking going around. Admittedly, it requires "thinking"

Genuinely just bonkers to watch the USA do this to one of the most successful and innovative hubs of scientific research the world has ever seen. All those years of Free Speech On Campus debates and it turns out they actually wanted less cancer research. Absurd.

Must-read book

The s is s awesome

For 50 years, the entire energy world has gamed out this exact scenario, and yet, there doesn't seem to be a plan? Seems bad. rdcu.be/ehooz

How I arrived on Bluesky

Do people understand that there is insider trading on unregulated prediction markets? If you're not "inside" you're going to get fleeced

Money talks

Give us your model or else...

I think this is correct. Much of commercial social media is already Gen AI. The sad part is there are lots of naive humans who "like" AI content w/o realizing. BlueSky doesn't depend on "engagement" so not entirely sure how this will play out here. But people are moving to private chats for sure.

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results" and i was like. oh!

Hats off to Zoe Ziani

Despite the reported skepticism of higher education, Americans “still recognize the value of a degree for themselves and their children. And they’re correct to do so,” @rosehorowitch.bsky.social writes.

The Utrecht morning rush hour in the snow did not disappoint!
