94% of votes counted in Armenian parliamentary elections. Civil Contract — 50.04% Strong Armenia — 23.33% Armenia Alliance — 9.85% Prosperous Armenia — 3.98%

And if I point out that I can do all this work myself, without destroying my house or spending this money, a thousand credulous techbros on LinkedIn will tell me I just Don’t Understand this technology even though I have worked in steampunk WWW cybernetics for thirty years.

Any explanation that involves "the giant spider from 'Wild Wild West'" has to remain intact, those are just the rules.

Giant mechanical spiders from the Wild Wild West are the future.

Even Trump appears unimpressed with Lee Zeldin's coal-shilling climate villainy

It was never supposed to work. As @amywestervelt.bsky.social documents...

AI reviews are especially annoying because they are great at raising issues that appear to be legitimate to overworked associate editors, but which are in fact nonsense.

Olen saanut luettua Leo XIV:n kiertokirjeen #MagnificaHumanitas. Kovaa kamaa! Jo alun sosiaalietiikkaa kehittelevä osio on sellainen, että jokaisen poliitikon ja yhteiskunnallisen keskustelijan kannattaa lukea kyseinen kristillisestä viisausperinteestä kumpuava visio. www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Thanks @chrischirp.bsky.social , the RIVM dataset is also showing very low Sars-CoV2 load. www.rivm.nl/en/coronavir...

Another brilliant explainer on food systems, their impacts and the solutions, by @profpaulbehrens.bsky.social (tldw? Short 🧵with 5 key slides below) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nkzd...

Se on #pandemiaPerjantai, mutta ei uusia @thlfi.bsky.social #jätevesi #Sars-CoV2 tuloksia. Ilmeisesti seurannassa on siirrytty kesän myötä kuukausimittauksiin. Ruotsin seurannassakaan ei mitään hälyttävää.

It needs to be stated over and over - this isn't just a matter of errors: The point is that LLM AI is literally incapable of reviewing or validating research data. It absolutely cannot do that job, at all, ever. But it is very good at generating something that looks like a convincing review.

How much water do crops really need? A new study shows: crop models often underestimate the amount of water needed to irrigate crops - with potential consequences for decisions on food-security policy and irrigation investment. 🌱 💧 www.zalf.de/en/aktue... #research #cropmodel #water #irrigation

We show up because every child caught in the middle of conflict deserves to know that somebody, somewhere, has not forgotten them. That is why we cook. That is why we keep going. #ChefsForTheWorld (4/4)

1. How common is LLM use in scientific publishing, and how does it vary across field, publisher, journal prestige, author demographics etc.? @kylesiler.bsky.social has new paper in PNAS that addresses this question on a massive scale: 7.3 million papers from Elsevier, PLOS, MDPI, and Frontiers.

11. Addendum: here are the words characteristic of LLMs. Notice anything? It reads like an email from our upper administration.

8. Math and philosophy are "hell nah". (Anyone remember the XKCD field purity strip?)

This should be *the* story.

Cool plot showing much "work" the welfare state does, measured by the change in inequality before and after redistribution

yo one of you guys knows someone who needs to hire katharine pronto

I’ve been thinking a lot about the shifting baseline concept as applied to everyday life. People in their 20’s now have no memory of highly functional systems, products (from blenders to sweaters) that were so well made you could hand them down across generations, or even helpful customer service.

This is what AI bros mean by "creating value". It's literally what it is, in every single case I've looked, it's spam & scams.

"And no industry that demands everything from us — our land, our energy, our water, our jobs, our art, our writing, our attention and every dollar we have — should ever be treated with anything but revulsion." 💯 Amazing (long!) writing by @edzitron.com 👏 www.wheresyoured.at/the-revenge-...

Minä eilen: Mitä jos vaan menisi kerrankin ajoissa nukkumaan? Aivot: Ootko miettinyt, miten √2 tai √3 lasketaan käsin? Tai päässä? Kun √10 on noin 3+1/6... Laske siinä lampaita.

90% of Dems/the left with graduate degrees say humanity is causing global warming. 60% of Dems/the left with HS or less education agree ~20% of Republicans/the right, regardless of education level, agree

Se on #pandemiaPerjantai ja pariin viikkoon ei ole tullut uusia datoja. Oletettavasti tilanne on edelleen tämän mukainen. Uudessa seelannissa taisi olla joku aalto aluillaan. Myös Ruotsin seurannassa erittäin hiljaista swedish-pathogens-portal.scilifelab-2-dev.sys.kth.se/dashboards/s...

Beautiful words and art, 100% human-made, by @jessharwoodart.bsky.social. www.theguardian.com/technology/c...

13/ Worth turning the word "implausible" around. The CMIP7 paper says SSP5-8.5 is implausible. Good. But, alas, a 2°C world being a safe one is also looking implausible.

4/ The new CMIP7 paper makes a claim about the start of that chain: → SSP5-8.5, the very-high-emissions scenario, has become implausible. That's a reasonable update. But it's being read as: high-end warming risk is off the table. That doesn't follow, because it's a claim about just one link.

3/ Getting from emissions to forcing to warming runs through a chain: emissions → concentrations → forcing → warming Each link carries its own uncertainty. And this uncertainty is not our friend!

There are things you can adapt to in agriculture... and then there's this.

Sometimes biologists will discover some remote mountain lake, fed by snowmelt & unconnected from any river system. And it will be teeming with fish. Of multiple species. The next question is, obviously: how did they GET there? And the answer, we think, is "duck poop."

Some exploratory dataviz for #soil conservation and #agriculture: looking at soil cover in autumn. - four classes of crops: other, grass, winter cereal, spring cereal - x-axis is NDVI, above 0.44 is clearly vegetated - colors are bare soil index: > 0.1 is full tillage, <0.01 is full cover

Sometimes when I read a paper I can totally hear the voice of the author(s). Sometimes when I read something I immediately know Claude drafted it. The former is enjoyable. The latter? Nauseating.

Tämmöstä. Joskus hommat sujuu ja joskus taas ei. Varaosareissu.

Syken pölyttäjäasiantuntija, tutkija Janne Heliölä kertoi Maailman mehiläispäivänä pölyttäjien tilanteesta Ylen aamussa. Janne kertoi muun muassa vuonna 2027 käynnistyvästä EU:n pölyttäjäseurannasta sekä kuivan kevään vaikutuksista pölyttäjien elämään 🐝 🌱 🏵️ areena.yle.fi/1-78140058

Tästä se lähtee, ensimmäinen lehti ulkona lehtitupesta vehnällä. Juuristokin aika hyvä.

Here we go again... Massive 5920 gpm upper-level ridge is being forecast to park over western Europe in the weekend. The 500-hPa heights will exceed ERA5 May climatology by several meters, indicating a potential for an intense and locally even record-breaking early-season heatwave.

Tässä omat ajatukseni tekoälystä korealaisen ohjaajan sanoin. 😅 bsky.app/profile/70sb...

Kokeilkaapa: ajatelkaa, että tekoälyt on bullshit machine-sontalinkoja. Niitä voi käyttää, jos ei huvita tai kiinnosta. Ja jos ei huvita tai kiinnosta, niin sen voi myös vaan sanoa suoraan, jättää tekemättä ja satsata paukut juttuihin ja sanoihin, jotka kiinnostaa. (T. "John Connor")

On muuten todella vähän vettä Töllinkoskessa!

Noni, nyt on kunnollista, loppuu se arvailu siitä, paljonko peltohommiin menee polttoainetta.

Se on #pandemiaPerjantai ja uudet @thlfi.bsky.social #SARS-CoV2 #jätevesi datat. Päivitetyt kaaviot, olkaa hyvät ! Epidemia kokolailla ohi. Nuo, joissa käyrä katkeaa kesken ovat alle mittausrajan. Toivottavasti jatkuu.

Probably one of the greatest innovations in agriculture: bluetooth earmuffs. Education, entertainment, contact, all in one package.

Any day now. The pear trees are getting ready.

Update to the drought situation: year-to-date precipitation total in Finland is again the lowest on record (since 1961). The 2026 precipitation in Finland (~78 mm) is only 54 % of the long-term normal (143 mm) at this time of the year.

Zelensky issued an official presidential decree authorizing Russia to hold its Victory Day parade in Moscow tomorrow. He included the exact coordinates of Red Square. That's it. A+ trolling.
