You will not find here anything useful for reasoning about AI capabilities. It may provide you with a confused impression that this intelligent guy has done the reasoning for you, and you can believe in his ~claim that reading this will provide you with immunity against hype about AI. ~homeopathy

I guess at most some of them believe that climate change [and catastrophic effects from it] would be irreversible by the end of decade. [Does not seem to me like a good idea to use the previous successfully viral doomerism thread as a template]

Breaking News! Code: y-Axis Alert! On September 11th, the preliminary Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature measured 2.98°C above the 1991-2020 mean, which was 4.03 standard deviations above the mean. No previous year has broken 3SD. The Climate 8-ball is feeling oblong.

oh, seems like a really nice tool. Are you by chance aware of any opensource tools to do a similar kind of mountain peaks / mountain range outline identification?

Editor’s Pick: Israel called its strikes on Beirut “precise.” @baydoun.nl and @chrisosieck.bsky.social reconstructed five of them to test what “precision” actually meant for the civilians living around the targets. f.mtr.cool/mivlcnrmvg

New from @hrw.org and Harvard Law's International Human Rights Clinic: a report on white phosphorus and the loophole in international law that keeps it lawful. It draws on whitephosphorus.info, the archive from my PhD, now at 286 strikes in south Lebanon, October 2023 to May 2026. 🧵

On 2023-10-17 Al-Ahli hospital explosion: Israeli airdropped bombs were approx overflying the hospital, to reach that nearby area with 21+ airstrikes from 5min before to 34 minutes after the hospital explosion. Aircraft trajectory is ~crudely reconstructed based on observed decoy flares it deployed.

There is honestly no appropriate time. Israel must surrender illegally occupied-and-annexed Golan to Syrian control.

This past summer, I had a cab driver who I discovered was a Syrian refugee after asking where his roots are from. As it was a long drive, we had quite a lot of time to share a conversation. /1
