This @NASA CERES data is making me very anxious.
The Northern Hemisphere used to radiate more heat to space than it absorbed from the sun.
Not anymore.
This causes very rapid warming of the NH, where 7 out 8 billion people live and grow their food!
We better prepare!

Excellente infographie du Haut Conseil pour le Climat : les émissions des transports ont augmenté en 2022 et représentent 32% des émissions en France, avec une majorité attribuées à la voiture.
Imaginez que le président Macron déclare "on aime la bagnole, et moi je l’adore"...
🧵On money 💵 and impact (and open-source)
Today, I presented @scikit_learn to entrepreneurs;
One CEOs was puzzled: "at the end of day, a company builds a product on top and captures the money".
Looking back, I could not dream of a better way to have an impact 1/5
No More GIL!
the Python team has officially accepted the proposal.
Congrats @colesbury on his multi-year brilliant effort to remove the GIL, and a heartfelt thanks to the Python Steering Council and Core team for a thoughtful plan to make this a reality.

Wow. @Meta commits to dedicate three engineer-years to implement the removal of the GIL from #Python and fix upcoming compatibility and performance issues with it.
All this dependent on whether the Steering Council accepts PEP 703.

Remember making stick-figure animations in Flash back in the days. Never as good as this.
I was not great at maths in school. I really wish I had something like this back then.
Learning today is 100x more engaging than text books in the 90’s

As always, my last tweet of the year - rising carbon dioxide (CO₂)...
There is no deadline. Any reduction in emissions will reduce future climate warming. I am hopeful! Thank you all for following! 🙂
