TIL there’s a fish that lives in the lowest depths of the Congo River that has stunted growth, no color pigment, and no eyes. And locally it’s called “mondeli bureau,” which translates to “white man in an office” LMAO
A very small blind pasty white yellowish fish in the palm of someone’s hand. Lamprologus lethops, a fish that lives in the lower Congo River, is pale and blind like fish that dwell in caves deep underwater.

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

Every time I return to Paris, I notice they've done more to reclaim streets from drivers and cars, including removing on-street parking, protecting cyclists from drivers, and prioritizing pedestrians and cyclists in shared spaces. Other cities can learn a lot from Paris.

Enhancing grainy images and videos with generative AI to identify key missing details often produces inaccurate and unreliable results. AI models have no reference as to what missing details in a grainy image/video look like, and often generate those details based on an incorrect guess.

This essay blew me away totally, by a mathematician with a philosopher's or poet's sense of epistemological questions reeling. WOW!! thank you @bostonreview.bsky.social and Michael Harris (who quotes Bolaño on his home page!!) (so thrilled to see @ftrain.bsky.social quoted here!)
Like any other species of understanding, the mathematical variety can only be established on the basis of a shared culture. Substituting a monetizable ersatz culture for the one evolved through historical experience is a particularly insidious form of knowledge collapse.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

The thing triangulating Democrats seem unable or unwilling to internalize is that the right wing thinks people who espouse liberal and leftist views are full of shit. Walking those views back, from their perspective, doesn't win their support but rather confirms their priors.

Black Americans have been the moral center of this country from it's inception, and whatever little bit I've picked up about justice, equality, or civil rights is ultimately due to them. We should be more grateful. Not sure how to say that without being awkward, but it's the truth.

Anyone who bikes regularly sees this sort of thing happen at least once, and often multiple times, per ride. It's truly incredible the way drivers casually put their lives and those of everyone around them at risk.

The ubiquity and quality of dutch bike lanes has also revealed to me how god damned stressful cycling in the UK and US is. And the US doesn't have an excuse - it also has ubiquitous protected paved paths parallel to most roads, but they are given entirely over to pedestrians.

🧵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.

LLMs make patterns based on the data they have and then output those patterns in the forms they’ve been given. That data is vast and those forms are varied but they do not know anything, they do not come to understand anything, they cannot undergo anything, and so they don’t experience anything.

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.
