Due to these settings the Earth looks illuminated, but the Sun is actually behind the Earth and the photographer looks at the night/twilight side (partial eclipse bottom right over South/Latin America), zodiacal light, plus 2 auroral glows near the polar regions.🤯... wonderful!

So cool that many of the NASA Artemis II mission shots have EXIF data in the image files.

F.e. this is one shot by Reid Wiseman is terrific: aperture f/4, exposure time 1/4s, ISO 51200, focal length 22 mm, camera Nikon D5...

Seems some companies interpret the signals of the AI race as they can do evil things now by default: GitHub just trains on your private code starting April 24th.

We will leave GitHub completely, and we will spin up our own GitThing.

Our information systems and networks are shit. We are a species in deep trouble.

Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgement

With AI we went from fighting our own stupidity to fighting lossy models of our own stupidity.

🌍 Progress of Global Climate Change: Progress of human-induced and observed global warming, greenhouse gas emissions, sea levels, and the remaining carbon budget. Relevant to the Paris Agreement, IPCC AR6 consistent.

🇺🇳 National Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Crucial indicators of 190 nations. Progress, recent and recent impact, per capita emissions, contribution to global warming, and sources of human-induced CO2, CH4, and N2O emissions.

🌏 Human-Induced CO₂ Emissions and Atmospheric Levels: Human-induced CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) emissions are the primary driver of rising atmospheric CO2 levels, leading to climate change, with CO2 remaining in the atmosphere for an average of over 400 years.

🌎 Observed Global Warming: Latest progress of observed warming, average temperature anomaly, rate of change, average temperature, geographical breakdowns, energy imbalance, radiative forcing.

Many people are amazed realizing that the Average Temperature and the Average Temperature Anomaly charts have the same shape.

You can visually proof this by copying the SVG/vector shapes from the source code of climatechangetracker.org and pasting it into a design software like Affinity Designer...

LLMs tend to use nuclear weapons quickly in conflict simulations. A study shows that nuclear weapons were used in 95 percent of the simulation games.

Most of us over-interpret noise and under-detect slow drift. We extract narrative from randomness.

Point of no return: a hellish ‘hothouse Earth’ getting closer, scientists say Continued global heating could set irreversible course by triggering climate tipping points, but most people unaware

You install a JavaScript package and get PHP and Python code dumped into your project. Turns out f.e. flatted publishes a single npm package containing all language ports instead of separate packages per language.

This is not what I expected in the node_modules folder
