The air quality in Serbia remains a major concern in Europe. That’s one thing the energy transition also improves btw.

Something that’s been difficult while writing about NIH cuts is that we won’t see the full impact of them for years

But the termination of an infectious disease network preceding the recent Ebola outbreak offers a view into some of what was lost:

this is an interesting point in the new ted chiang piece – no one really claims that alphafold is conscious, or that sora or midjourney or dall-e are conscious

Gas spent 20 years owning the evening peak. Batteries took a year to crash the party.

That's disruption. Not gradual, but a rapid shift in who supplies grid's most valuable hours.

The battle was never about total generation. It was about the peak & batteries are winning it.

Arizona wastes an extraordinary amount of water growing alfalfa in the literal desert. It's ~27% of the state's total water use.

This is extremely uneconomical, and if farmers were forced to to pay anything close to the actual value of that water, it would disappear overnight.

Yesterday Israel ordered the inhabitants of Nabiteh to leave (population of 100,000) They then ordered the inhabitants of Tyre to leave (pop of 200,000). Now they've ordered the entire south to leave - up to 300 towns & villages.

After tireless struggle by victims and finally a 1-hour TV documentary this week, settlements south of Jerusalem admit their leaders have long created child pornography by filming when they gang-rape kids in the community: "No longer in denial: Gush Etzion admits to ritual abuse"

Not sure who's sillier on this site, Elon Musk for claiming history's most infamous far right dictator was a socialist, or the climate change sceptics for saying this temperature in May is fine because a few million years ago the surface of the planet was molten lava.

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.

Eli Lilly has done it.

They've gone and made what seems to be a powerful, permanent gene therapy for LDL cholesterol.

That means they'll be able to effectively prevent most heart disease with a single infusion!
