Was out protesting in Tampere city center against the governments plans to allow mining under a fragile ecosystem called Viiankiaapa. It was cloudy, wet, and cold, but the turnout was still pretty good!
Panoramic view of fellow protestors. The turnout was pretty good, several hundred people of all ages came.View of the speaker and protestors.Same view of the speaker, but now my face is visible too.

I heard that the cognitive reflection test is pretty hard, even though it only has three questions. It took me less than 30 seconds to solve them. Do people REALLY struggle with those? They are essentially reading comprehension tests!

Okay, so the whole "there is a good chance that AI will kill all humans within a decade" thing that has been going around lately? It's dumb. It's bullshit. It's a sign that the AI companies are in deep shit. But not because AI could kill us all. It's because they hit a wall called reality.

I dunno mate, scientists have been warning that climate change will fuck shit up for a century now, and that burning fossil fuels is the main culprit. Have we stopped burning fossil fuels?

Heard the news on the radio, and expected bsky to explode. But it's mostly quiet here? How are you guys not all yelling about Trump trying to buy off the elections??? And before you say "its the same old bs" no it is not. This is so much worse In any functional government, he would be removed asap

Light is an electromagnetic wave. When light is polarized, it is "waving" in a well-defined direction. With a bit of practice, humans can see which way light is waving.

If almost every person on Earth did nothing but make cups of tea, day and night, one every second, and poured every single one into the ocean, that's how much heat the ocean is absorbing. This heat absorption, driven by our CO₂ emissions, causes sea level rise, marine heatwaves, and polar ice melt.

Most of the heat from global warming ends up in the oceans, not the atmosphere.

Was in the car with the kids when "Killing in the name" started playing on the radio and son (5 yo) immediately told me to turn up the volume. I don't wanna jinx it, but the kid might have inherited my taste in music 🤞 In a few years he'll be old enough for me to explain what the song is about 👊

I adore you Leon, Egyptologist here, they were built by a largely volunteer force (corvée labor) of 25,000. The builders were very well fed, paid in bread and beer, and received excellent medical care. There was no slavery whatsoever, it is a common misconception.

Done grading the exams and the results are... interesting. After explicitly having forbidden AI use in the online exam many still chose to use it (7/29). Two were such blatant cases that I just set all of their points to zero. I designed the exam so that no AI could complete the assignments. How? 👇

I expressly said in two separate emails NOT to use AI in the online exam. In the exam I warned that they would receive zero points if they are caught using AI. One student completed the three hour exam in 35 minutes. They tripped all the anti AI questions. 🤦🏻‍♂️
