"AI is a poor name. If it was called ‘extremely rapid computation’, or ‘assisted data analysis’ or ‘cognitive prosthesis’ then that would de-emphasize the magical portions of it."

On the day we published a piece including the question "Why is a global treaty to curb plastic pollution needed?", a company I have no dealings with sent me a small paper flyer promoting their recycling initiative. It was inside in two different plastic envelopes.

[Daniel Cressey @DPCressey]

Where are the plastics treaty talks at now? What are the big disagreements? Will there be a deal in South Korea?

Everyone - it's Ghost Shark Day today! 👻🦈🥳

Frankly, the timing of the Day this year is spot on. Not only is it Halloween tomorrow, but just last month, a new species of ghost shark, aka chimaera, was identified by researchers!

Whalers were relentless too. In April 1927, 229 fin whales were killed in a single cell. Imagine even seeing 229 fin whales in a month. You have to wonder how many more were around for them to catch that many. 3/n

📣 Panama become 14th country to ratify the #HighSeasTreaty

This brings us one step closer to establishing marine protected areas in the high seas.

Unfortunately, there was not enough data available to prove our explanation. It is simply the most plausible hypothesis based on the data we do have."

[Daniel Cressey @DPCressey]

Super interesting in the most nerdy way possible - a possible explanation for "one of the most publicized and baffling failures of the modern era" - the collapse of the Arecibo telescope

[Daniel Cressey @DPCressey]

Always fascinating to see science happening like this:
"the committee presents a clear and plausible explanation of why the telescope’s sockets failed when no such sockets have ever been reported to have failed before.
