Men det är en felaktig idé som spökar här – att det måste vara någons fel om ett barn inte mår bra. Forskningen erbjuder sällan den tvärsäkerhet som efterfrågas i skuldfrågan. Psykiatrins historia är dessutom full av exempel på de katastrofer tvärsäkerheten orsakar www.dn.se/kultur/chris...

Jane Austen 250 år just idag! Hur firar ni?

A London council has started issuing speeding fines to cyclists, after deploying staff with a speed gun to monitor a popular commuter route from south west London… They informed him their speed camera had clocked him travelling at 16mph in a 12mph zone www.londoncentric.media/p/speed-came...

Det är så fascinerande. Att finansministerns stabschef kan skylla på det ”institutionella etablissemanget” i ett land som hans regering styr.

Taco Bell has been working, for nearly a decade, to invent a taco shell made entirely of cheese… her inventions need to be what someone leaving a party on a Saturday night would crave… She headed to PepsiCo and sampled sugary, caffeinated sodas for six hours straight www.wsj.com/business/ret...

The root of this art is the Socratic method… the task is not to put some teaching in someone, but rather to draw something out… Socrates’ method is dialectical, meaning that we get to know someone or some thing through dialogue guided by exploratory questioning 3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily...

We wanted to ask… how much it matters which countries qualify… Our estimates suggest that France’s qualification led to 28 000 more tourists over the event year and the three years after… more than 6 000 extra jobs in South Africa’s tourism sector www.ourlongwalk.com/p/what-the-d...

You choose a recipe from the embedded touchscreen… load the ingredients, and come back 30 minutes to an hour later to a fully cooked dish… A dish does tend to take a bit longer… my guess is because it’s constantly analyzing the food and adapting as it goes archive.is/2025.12.13-1...

…drones aren’t just buzzing airports. They’re systematically surveilling military installations… European intelligence services assess three documented ships as operating “with high confidence“ on behalf of Russian interest… movement “very conspicuous” www.digitaldigging.org/p/they-drone...

Det absolut mest kusliga i hela serien: att jag hittills inte uppfattat ett enda ord av vad själva tidstjuven, spelad av Simon J Berger, säger. Han är med hela tiden och han babblar hejvilt och ännu… har jag inte lyckats uppfatta en hel mening som han sagt www.dn.se/sverige/alex...

By 2100, the rainforest could experience up to 150 days of hot drought conditions each year, potentially leading to mass tree die-offs… As human-driven climate change stresses the Amazon, the rainforest’s capacity to mitigate climate change is shrinking gizmodo.com/the-amazon-i...

Rand Paul: "The president also said, 'Be careful Colombia, you could be next.' I mean, if we're gonna go and topple regime after regime in South America, there's no amount of money that could be printed to pay for that and I don't think lives should be lost without a vote by Congress."

…if a group of doctors with the same specialties were to see patients in the same area for the same conditions, the Republicans would be likely to spend more… Republican doctors tend to place less emphasis on clinical guidelines and more on physician autonomy www.gsb.stanford.edu/insights/par...

Trump gets distracted by a woman in the crowd he says looks like Ivanka and has her turn for the cameras

Den största kostnaden för förskolan är personal, så det enklaste sättet att göra vinst är att ha färre anställda och sämre utbildad personal… till skillnad från en vanlig marknad finns ingen prispress på förskolemarknaden, bara konkurrens om förskolepengen www.aftonbladet.se/debatt/a/3pj...

…the Long Beach student is talking about the parking lot he slept in every night for more than a year… Sleeping in a car may not sound like a step up, but for Rosales being handed a key fob to a bathroom stocked with toilet paper and hand soap was life-altering hechingerreport.org/a-new-soluti...

The importance of such a resource is to help researchers break away from looking at a small number of potential threats at a time and start moving toward a way to take into account the entire realm of exposures knowablemagazine.org/content/arti...

I remember hearing other people say the phrase “Nobody knew what to do” during crises… here, in the middle of it, I realize it applies to everything. I can’t think at all. The part of our brain that does evaluation, desire, and choice has been completely overrun aella.substack.com/p/bye-mom?pu...

I Albeneses uttalande ligger hela poängen. Oavsett lagens utformning (vilken med rätta kan kritiseras på många punkter) så är den ett exempel på hur sociala medier-företagens makt och affärsmodell faktiskt kan påverkas av ett samhälleligt ansvar bjornowenglad.substack.com/p/nu-tittar-...

…my job was managing the bots… Once the bots were sufficiently trained up to offer “good enough” support, then I was out… I found out that the CEO and his right hand guy were hoping to replace me with a custom GPT they had trained using my work www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/i-was-forc...

De kanske ska sluta använda AI vid textning.

Stephen King described spending “weeks and months and even years” working on first sentences… Throw out all your plans and assumptions, and make room to surprise yourself… “The writing I tend to think of as ‘good’ is good because it’s mysterious”, Aimee Bender said lithub.com/i-talked-to-...

I scraped every single restaurant in Greater London and built a machine-learning model… London’s restaurant scene is no longer organised by taste alone… What looks like “choice” is increasingly the downstream effect of ranking systems laurenleek.substack.com/p/how-google...

What we communicate are models of the world, not the world itself… scientific theories are simulacra; useful fictions in mathematical and conceptual form that help us organize, predict and manipulate phenomena. Theories are cultural technologies www.noemamag.com/the-death-of...

Their extensive knowledge – of weapons, tactics, logistics, battles – prevents them from seeing their fundamental ignorance. They know so much about how the war is fought that they never notice that they don’t know why it should be fought engelsbergideas.com/essays/mosco...

…a decade into the project, they’ve collected a treasure trove of data on everything from adolescent screen time to sleep and exercise regimens to family situations… how the kids approach various games… their growing brains in MRI machines archive.ph/2025.12.10-1...

I think of schools and how inefficient they are. (The “modern” school system was designed to fit into an industrial society.)… It’s tempting to think AI will make us all hyper-capable. But just look at everything we already have access to that we underutilize 3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily...

…one can track down the home addresses of certain agents, and thereby discover their identities, daily routines and even those of their loved ones… the advertising industry extracts billions of personal data points from people's smartphones every day www.lemonde.fr/en/pixels/ar...

Their openly stated goal is the annexation of the West Bank, or even the "transfer" – that is, under international humanitarian law, the deportation – of the Palestinians living there. Yet this policy of terror has also been endorsed by the entire ruling coalition www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/a...

”…different groups of bears are having different sections of their DNA changed at different rates, and this activity seems linked to their specific environment and climate… polar bears might be able to adapt quickly to climate change” phys.org/news/2025-12...

It’s like this you see. If the British and American governments are allowed to persist in their current nuclear policy, it could lead to the destruction of the human race. And, well… some of us gathered here today think that might be rather a pity 3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily...

Ser flera artiklar om ”AI” och uni med budskapet att nu göra ett omtag i synen på lärandet, från produkt till process osv. Och jag håller med om allt men begriper inte hur utveckling ska ske under rådande ekonomiska förutsättningar när vi mest håller näsan ovanför vattenytan.

Klimatpolitiken ska visserligen vara ”effektiv och ambitiös”, men ingenting sägs om hur detta ska gå till. Däremot är planen mycket tydlig om vad politiken ska leda till: Fortsatt låga priser på fossila bränslen… bensinen ska fortsatt vara billig klimatgranskaren.se/nya-tidoavta...

Since 2019, Burrow and his researchers have selected about 1,200 college and high school students to receive $400 no-strings “contributions” to use “to pursue what matters most” to them — something that benefits their community, family or even themselves www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

FN:s kommitté för avskaffande av rasdiskriminering pekar ut flera brister i Sveriges arbete mot rasism… Bara sex procent av hatbrottsanmälningarna leder till fällande dom. Regeringens vandelsförslag och införandet av de så kallade säkerhetszonerna får kritik www.tv4.se/artikel/5gRH...

I told Olivia clearly and firmly that her editor would learn of her affair with Bobby and that she needed to disclose it to him immediately… Olivia repeated what she said on August 17: “If anyone ever finds out, I’m afraid Bobby will kill me.” I never saw her again www.telos.news/p/part-5-loy...

Finns det någon studie på vilka yrken folk hamnar i förhållande till vilken roll de spelat i Luciatåg? Misstänker att tomtar och pepparkakor är överrepresenterade i kreativa yrken/media.

Scientists will conclude ”…the result is statistically significant”… But for large studies this can happen for really small effects. In those cases, it can be MORE accurate to say ”X has no effect on Y” even though, technically, there is an effect clearerthinking.beehiiv.com/p/one-helpfu...

Damages that are essentially baked in over the next 25 years will cost six times the money it would take to lower emissions enough to limit the world to 2 degrees Celsius of warming, the goal set by the Paris Climate Accord www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/b...

To which I would respond: No one, whether you are right or left or middle-of-the-road or nothing at all, whether you are faculty or a student, should ever feel overly comfortable in college… “The point of education is to change what people think” washingtonmonthly.com/2025/12/11/t...

Take away our ability to speak, and we can still think, reason, form beliefs, fall in love, and move about the world… But take away language from a large language model, and you are left with literally nothing at all buildcognitiveresonance.substack.com/p/large-lang...

Evidence suggests that all tested forms of thought are possible in the absence of language, and that engaging in diverse forms of thinking and reasoning does not recruit the language network… language serves a primarily communicative function www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Taibbi, in sworn testimony, was calling for dismantling of newsrooms and fact-checkers across the world in the name of free speech… disinformation research had made itself an easy target by provoking grievances in those who found themselves on the wrong side of it www.theverge.com/features/839...

”The daily demolitions show that the occupation [Israel] is continuing with its aggressive plans of destruction, aimed at making vast areas of Gaza uninhabitable… This condemns hundreds of thousands of residents to lose all hope of return” www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

….he used a “theoretically salient” approach of analyzing genetic data to determine the proportion of full and half-siblings born into a population to determine how monogamous it is… Humans ranked seventh among those analyzed with 66% full siblings www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

…humans have never been truly sustainable… many generations had lower environmental impact… But by basic metrics of human wellbeing, life was not good… Falling child mortality happened everywhere… Global maternal mortality more than halved since 1980 www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/sustainabl...

While the body count in the West Bank was higher during the second intifada, life was absolutely worse now in every other way… “Even back then there was hope, maybe. Now the people seem completely desperate. They feel completely abandoned” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Between 1980 and 2018, agricultural land in the glacier’s Lidder watershed fell by almost 40%… “could reshape the future of Kashmir’s water, agriculture and ecosystems”… All 18,000 glaciers in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh are melting www.theguardian.com/environment/...
