Really important unpacking of the two kinds of "AI": - traditional machine learning: not power hungry, potentially big benefits - generative LLM: very power hungry, very little benefits VERY important to distinguish between the two.

🚨 NEW | Counting energy from the perspective of the consumer, rather than the supplier, can help us better understand the dramatic changes sweeping the energy sector today 🔎🌪️⚡️ With this new framework, Ember unpacks 4 key battles for the future of energy 🧵 1/7 👇

In simple physics terms, the four battles can be expressed in the diagram below which shows the efficiency of conversion at each stage. Notably, OVER TWO THIRDS of energy is lost whenever heat crosses the divide to work.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

…That "Generative AI" does not tell you the truth, that it doesn't give you facts, & that when its outputs conform to factual reality, it's by fucking happenstance. These systems are not all-in-1 answer production machines, they are collections of stats & regularities spat out via fucking dice rolls

Would be great if other companies would start making parodies of these: "Bosch chief on coffee-machines.."

Tämä olikin jännä. 1) Eksponentiaalista nousua. x akseli päivät. 2) Osuu varsin hyvin yhteen raportoitujen influenssa-aktiivisuuksien kanssa.

Se on #pandemiaPerjantai ja uudet @thlfi.bsky.social #SARS-CoV2 #korona #jätevesi datat. Päivitetyt kaaviot, olkaa hyvät! - tämä näyttää nyt pahalta, reipasta nousua melkein kaikkialla - melkein toivoisi, että olisi mittavirhe, mutta trendikin huolestuttava

Friendly reminder: NO ONE needs AI slop and more AI data centres EVERYBODY needs clean water, affordable energy, and a habitable planet

Giving rivers room to move, can benefit people and nature.   As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of extreme floods, rethinking our approach to managing floodplain rivers has never been more urgent.   floodplain river systems are among the most valuable ecosystems. #rivers

Gonna go out on a limb and assume the "researcher" (an anthropic employee) is not an expert in cognition or human-computer interaction.

"Overall, broad claims of generalized learning gains resulting from AI/LLMs appear premature; the current evidence is insufficient to support robust policy or practice recommendations."

Kappasta, jos katsoo maatalouden lannoitemenojen ja kasvinviljelyn tuotoksen välistä suhdetta (ts. montako prosenttia tuotoksesta menee lannoitteiden ostoon), se ei olekaan niin paha, kuin voisi luulla. (Tilastokeskus: maataloustilasto)

Luontolain valmistelussa voitaisiin muodostamaa yhteinen hallituskausien yli ulottuva tulevaisuudenkuva ihmisen ja muun luonnon yhteishyvinvoinnista, joka ohjaisi kaikkien hallinnonalojen työtä kohti kansainvälisten luontotavoitteiden saavuttamista. 8/

One of the weird and cool things about being an agricultural scientist is when you get a list of all possible crops and you have to classify them. Just went through a list of 200 crops and classified them based on perenniality and soil residue cover. "Rhubarb, hmm?" "Jerusalem artichoke".

But this goes both ways. If the conscripts are treated as a burden or labour for menial chores, then of course they will respond accordingly. FDF has made leaps and strides in this over the decades. Now conscript period is pared to the essentials of *training*. There is little waste of time now.

On-farm decision making seems to be a new buzz word. I'm happy for that! Farm lives are shaped by thousands of decisions each year.

Soil microbes grow, respire, die. Because their biomass eventually becomes necromass, and necromass can be stabilized in soil, growth rate emerges as a powerful predictor of soil carbon: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

There is no way to fix the core problem, which is that the statistical production of symbols by definition is not based on their meaning

Se on #pandemiaPerjantai ja uudet @thlfi.bsky.social #SARS-CoV2 #koronafi #jätevesi datat. Päivitetyt kaaviot, olkaa hyvät! - tämä ei näytäkään yhtään niin hyvältä kuin viime viikolla - nousua Hki, Jsuu, Vaasa, Tre. Turkukin erikoinen - vuosivertailussa koholla, koska yleensä aalto jo ollut ohi

Also, this paper puts the lie to all those “social distancing” measures we were told would keep us safe. There is NO SAFE DISTANCE for preventing respiratory disease transmission in an indoor environment. Ventilate, filter, mask up.

Important paper. Schools are high-risk environments for respiratory disease transmission MAINLY because classrooms are underventilated. This problem has a workable solution - it just needs political will. Air quality is as important as water quality for public health. MT @martinmckee.bsky.social

Our results indicate that extended periods spent in poorly ventilated classrooms may be a stronger driver of within-school transmission than individual contact rates.

We found that while close contact contributed to elevated risk (rate ratio 1.16 per doubling daily time, 95%-CI 1.01–1.33), time spent in shared classrooms and poor air quality had larger effects (RR 3.17, 95%-CI 1.96–5.17 and RR 1.90 95%-CI 1.23–2.94) respectively).
