Mark this well. A public servant who performed admirably in a crisis is being publicly persecuted, maybe prosecuted. Govt websites are being given over to propaganda. Fake medicines are being praised while lifesaving vaccines are lied about. Slanderous grifters cackle their triumph. Despicable.

Fauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."

Very good, on the Irish government’s authoritarian push to dismantle planning oversight and judicial reviews, by one of our own parish @cathalmalone.bsky.social

Judicial reviews are a fundamental part of democracy — not a dig at the Government by greedy lawyersA judicial review is any case taken against any public body that may have broken the law — it's the separation of powers working as intended, writes Cathal Malonewww.irishexaminer.com

We really do have to stop burning ALL forms of fossil fuels as soon as possible. “2026 is just the beginning,” Professor Rockström added. “It will inevitably get worse. It will get worse and worse and worse to the point where, I’m afraid, we’ll be passing the limits of adaptation.”

It's a point I've been trying to make for a long time: there is no good way to meet even 10% of current demand for animal products. They trash the living world, whichever way you do it. If you want to reduce your impact, switch to a plant-based diet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It's all a bunch of closely related computational techniques, and the name is whatever lands external money for your efforts at that point in time.

Now is a good reminder that machine learning is a rebranding of statistical learning. Reinforcement learning is something I first came across in control theory. Many ML formulations are from information theory, a much more theoretically grounded discipline that's been around for decades.

Experts say a new proposal to weaken the EU's flagship climate policy is "the perfect excuse" for polluters to demand similar changes elsewhere. It's "a belt of ammunition for industrial lobbyists," said Wijnand Stoefs, w/ @carbonmarketwatch.bsky.social. @grist.org: grist.org/internationa...

The EU might weaken its landmark climate law — the 'most impactful' in the worldThe European Union’s cap-and-trade system has long been considered the gold standard for market-based emissions-reduction policies, and it’s influenced similar efforts from California to South Korea. ...grist.org

“Startups funded by venture capital are not a good way to develop potentially an important climate solution. If we want to scale [CO₂removal] , it should be government-funded and government-led.” 🌊🧪

‘Concern about the climate is legitimate only insofar as it does not get in the way of whatever Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael politicians deem to be the necessary projects to win votes in particular local areas.’ www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...
