We need to be less hysterical about potential AMOC collapse in 2100 and way more hysterical about the actual mega El Niño in 2027.

I am keen to partner with Maternal, Child and Family Health Nurses to research how climate change affects the families they care for and what nurses need to support them in Australia's changing climate. If you are a MCFH/MCH Nurse in Australia/know someone who is, please get in touch. Pls Share.

I decided to re-do this old calculation + LLMs test, and now it seems the big models just create a piece of code to do the calculation instead of brute-forcing it. IE: LLMs work best when they're doing at little LLM as possible, and every advancement is just less LLM and more stuff-that-works
Python
num1 = 4679865
num2 = 1346792
result = num1 * num2
print(f"Result: {result}")
print(f"Formatted: {result:,}")

Code output
Result: 6302804743080
Formatted: 6,302,804,743,080

4,679,865 × 1,346,792 = 6,302,804,743,080

🧵CO₂ removal (CDR) is back in the news, but just because the UNEP report says we need CDR, it doesn't mean we'll have CDR. Many challenges will take decades of research and negotiation to solve. Here are some examples: Technological: We currently don't have any durable CDR method that scales.

If you're out there insisting that reducing carbon emissions won't lower the warming trajectory of our planet, you're an advocate for the fossil fuel industry, whether or not you're getting paid for it.

Stories like this remind us why we need the most diverse range of research possible. Never mind if the applicability is unclear, if it's not 'commercial', if it's 'niche'. Because you never know when you might need rapid rollout of a safe-for-little-penguins vaccine for H5N1. 💁🏻‍♀️
