RFK Jr. released a video to the Minamata Convention on Mercury where he lied about vaccines. He said “no amount of mercury should ever be injected into a child” & urged a global ban on thimerosal-containing vaccines. Good thing: no child IS injected with mercury. 1/

Absolutely amazing: they've got so much solar in Australia that they need more people to use more of it, so the gov't has instructed energy retailers to offer *at least three hours of free power* during the middle of the day. Meanwhile fossil-addled US struggles with an energy-price crisis ...

Saying there is enough solar power for everyone in the daytime, Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen will direct retailers to provide three hours of free power every day to consumers.

Global GHG emissions showing a flat line at about 15MtCO2eq, where countries submitted, with a slight decline in emissions to 2035. A rising line from 35 to 55MtCO2eq shows global emissions, and the commitments at the last round of NDCs leading to flattish emissions.

OpenAl Cofounder Builds New

Open Source LLM 'Nanochat' - and Doesn't Use Vibe Coding
/ EditorDavid 12 hours ago
An anonymous reader shared this report from Gizmodo: It's been over a year since OpenAl cofounder Andrej Karpathy exited the company. In the time since he's been gone, he coined and popularized the term "vibe coding" to describe the practice of farming out coding projects to Al tools. But earlier this week, when he released his own open source model called nanochat, he admitted that he wrote the whole thing by hand, vibes be damned.
Nanochat, according to Karpathy, is a minimal, from scratch, full-stack training/inference pipeline" that is designed to let anyone build a large language model with a ChatGPT-style chatbot interface in a matter of hours and for as little as $100. Karpathy said the project contains about 8,000 lines of "quite clean code," which he wrote by hand - not necessarily by choice, but because he found Al tools couldn't do what he needed.
"It's basically entirely hand-written (with tab autocomplete)," he wrote. "I tried to use claude/codex agents a few times but they just didn't work well enough at all and net unhelpful."

I have a confession to make. I’ve actually seen/cared for several minors who’ve received gender-affirming surgery. They were 16 or 17 year-old girls who’d had their nose done, and one 16 year-old boy who’d had surgery for gynecomastia. All were cis.
