The BBC has done a good job highlighting El Niño - a climate phenomenon identified by warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the central + eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. It disrupts normal weather patterns globally, often leading to increased rainfall in some regions & droughts in others.

Prepare for El Niño, UN warns. It could be the strongest in decades - BBC News

Scientists fear the combined effects of El Niño and human-caused climate change could reshape weather around the world

Encore une enquête de @disclosemedia.bsky.social, révélant l'utilisation parfaitement illégale par la Police et la Gendarmerie d'un système de reconnaissance faciale. @laquadrature.bsky.social publie également un guide complet sur la reconnaissance faciale. www.laquadrature.net/guiderecofac...

Reconnaissance faciale et contrôle d'identité : que peut faire la police ?

Chaque jour, la police se sert de la reconnaissance faciale lors de contrôles d’identités. C’est illégal. Ce guide a pour but d’organiser la riposte et de se défendre contre ces pratiques abusives. I...

I end my talk these days by reminding the audience that for most scientists, their politics aren't biasing the science, the science is informing their politics. But b/c scientific conclusions are inconvenient for right-wing politics, there is a movement to pretend the causal arrow is reversed.

My views on activism and politics in science haven't changed much. You can get a pretty good sense of them in the spsp 2024 plenary I gave in San Diego (59:00 min there is this slide): youtu.be/pybPQBLvQeo?...

Just to close the loop here. A cozy club of just the very worst people.

Am I the only one waiting for the Nobel Peace Prize announcement ? I just hope Trump won’t get it, just to see his face after the announcement !

Back on #Twitter, hundreds are saying that Grok Code Fast is the most beloved model for coding… Yeah, I guess it has nothing to do with the fact that it is free to use until September 10th.

"Ideological bias" such as .. ? If they mean "woke" therefore let me all remind you that #Elon tried it and Grok 3 still replies as a progressive (the true meaning of "Woke") when asked social questions. #Trump

Justin Hendrix@justinhendrix.bsky.social · 2y ago

NIST has issued new instructions to scientists that partner with the US Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute (AISI) that eliminate mention of 'AI safety,' 'responsible AI,' and 'AI fairness' in order to reduce 'ideological bias, to enable human flourishing and economic competitiveness.'

"Hear no climate change, see no climate change, speak no climate change" 🙉🙈🙊

Looks like one of the nation's top #climate deniers is angling for a job with the new administration. Here's his job application: a call to silence all federal research into the role of #climatechange in disasters, and an indirect assault on the US National Academy of Sciences.

I have spent the day thinking about the infamous #ElonMusk hand gesture at the #Trump inauguration and I have identified four key elements: - the violence of the two gestures. As Hitler did, the arm "opens" violently towards the end of the movement, - the closed fingers - the fact 1/2

Je suis retombé sur ces images de l'émission "A prendre ou à laisser avec Arthur" et j'avais le souvenir, adolescent, d'être déjà mal à l'aise à l'époque... Et en revoyant ça maintenant... Comment c'est possible ? 🤢 Tous les jours en access prime time, devant nos yeux ???

La majorité des électeurs Américains me désespère. Ils vont s’informer sur des sujets clés du futur mandat de Trump APRÈS l’élection. Résultat ? On va rentrer dans une nouvelle ère. La FAFO ! (FAFO ? La réponse est sur Google 😉)

Literally..

as an experiment, I posted the same post to twitter and bluesky. here is the time series of engagements (sum of comments, reposts, likes) from the two platforms. Note that I have 39K followers on twitter and 7K here, so engagement per follower here is more than 10 times higher here on bluesky.

Hey y'all, get the HPV vaccination while you can.

Elizabeth, Knife-Shoe Enthusiast@furiosalizabeth.bsky.social · 2y ago

Older people can get the HPV vaccine now too! I just got it in my 40s and am especially relieved about that now.

It's so annoying that people (even within DeepMind) keep saying that OpenAI is ahead "in AI", when DeepMind has models like AlphaFold, AlphaProof, GenCast and GraphCast, FunSearch, etc AI for Science has such a clearer potential for helping people, but VCs and the media are obsessed by GenAI

We now are more than #10million to enjoy #Bluesky and I was the 509 857 to register on the platform ! I got to be honest, it feels like a little bit of an accomplishment to be amongst the first 10% !

I left #Twitter a few days ago, tired of #Musk ’s BS and the endless stream of negativity. And I didn't want to give the guy any money through ads. But I really miss the great #AI / #ML community that was there. I hope #Bluesky can become a place where we can connect and learn without all the drama

I haven’t posted here in a while now but I began to spend a little more time on #Bluesky and I just realized how great is their logo. I don’t even know why but I find it beautiful. That’s it !

Ah … bordel. Je n’ai jamais suivi Jack mais là c’est extraordinaire. En vérifiant l’info j’ai également découvert qu’il a retweeté et mentionné #RFK Jr plus d’une fois. Comme quoi, on est tranquille nul part avec nos milliardaires de la Tech ! #France

Fact checker un complotiste sur l’actualité c’est en arriver à la conclusion que … bah tout est faux. Rares ont été les fois où j’ai pu constater une vraie info dans le discours de mes proches complotistes mais malheureusement c’est ce qui arrive lorsqu’on privilégie l’ignorance à la connaissance.
