Square image with plain white background. "CALL FOR PAPERS" at the top centre in a navy blue, and in bigger, bold black text beneath this "NLP and AI as climate solutions". The Climatic Change Journal cover image takes up most of the space across the bottom - a wavy line formed of three different shades of blue, a little like a winding river or reminiscent of the sea. The Climate Policy Radar logo is in the bottom left hand corner, which includes a small icon of "radar" signals in blue, almost like a crop of a finger print. The Springer logo is on the bottom right hand corner, which includes a horse head like a chess piece with an orange line beneath that.

Call for papers 📢 We are co-editing a special edition of Climatic Change on how #NLP & AI are being used to drive real #ClimateAction. Edited by researchers working at this intersection inc CPR's Anne Sietsma @franticpedantic.bsky.social. Submit by 30 June: link.springer.com/collections/igbiebchhh

This is super interesting to read because I was very concerned about the water and AI thing so I went to my one scientist friend who literally worked on water reg/quality/usage and asked her about AI, data centers, water etc. She was far more concerned with agriculture abuses than AI.

Talk by a security researcher at Anthropic

He shows that you can trivially get Opus 4.5/4.6 to find very difficult to find bugs in established code bases, like the Linux kernel

He also seems very worried about “the next few months”

Government to lift paywall from large parts of the Land Registry Exclusive: finding out who owns land will become simpler under plans to make the best use of green spaces and hit net zero targets

VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England.

I’ve been campaigning for this for ten years: the new Land Use Framework, published later today, makes it government policy. 1/

Please do! Would love to chat

your knowledge of git plumbing will never not astound me ✨😍 thank you!

absolutely baffled by the fact that there seems to be no way of staging individual line changes (rather than whole files) in git without going through an interactive/GUI mode 🥴

why why why can i not `git add my_file.txt --lines=5-10` ???

a popup from Indeed asking if you have experience in "Arrays (data structure)".

what are we even doing here man

the longer your look at this the worse it gets

absolutely buzzzzzzing about the doc-to-lora stuff here. sakana use a hypernetwork to adapt an LLM to doc-specific knowledge in a single forward pass 🤯

You can place pancakes, crepes, and scrambled eggs on a simplex where the variables are the ratios between milk, eggs, and flour, (with another small axis for baking soda.)

We have explored too little of this manifold. More breakfasts can exist than we have known.

16,000 tokens per second is CRAZY. well worth trying the demo linked in the post

Huge water consumer, destroying the planet with CO2 emissions, mostly a negative for their consumers. Something must be done. Yes, that’s right, it’s time to do something about cows.

Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.

We took a look at the UK's biggest ever offshore wind auction, and dug into what it will mean for energy bills and the "clean power 2030" plan ⬇️

excellent, excellent round up of all things energy/decarbonisation in 2025. there are a couple of really exciting narratives in here!

What do people in England think about their local area? In this short report I take a look at surveys we conducted with @yougov.co.uk in 2022, 2024 and 2025 to gain some insights...

Some key findings...

oops, my mistake 🤦‍♂️ thanks for maintaining the list!

looks like @sianberry.bsky.social is missing from this list!

Sara Hooker continues to be my fav person pondering the landscape of work in ML. This essay is just as perceptive and provocative as the original hardware lottery paper which it builds upon - i love it
