C3S behind the scenes: making climate data visible

Data visualisation is a discipline sitting at the interface of science, communication and design. Contrary to common misconceptions, it is not simply the art of making charts “prettier.” It’s about cr...

Just finished reading "A Deepness in the Sky" only to find out that the author, Vernor Vinge, was also one of the greatest visionaries in the field of AI. Here are some statements from his 1993 (!) paper. So spot on.

For the last 2 years I have been tracking a generational change in the nature of software development, and I think I've finally decided where all of this turmoil is going to end up. It's good news, but not for everybody. https://seldo.com/posts/we-are-all-product-engineers-now/

We are all Product Engineers now | Seldo.com

Agents are eating the software development lifecycle from the bottom up — code generation already gone, review and ops following fast. What remains is figuring out what people actually want, which can't be automated or scaled. That job is called product engineering, it pays $240k, and nobody's training for it.

Everyone I follow who is a credentialed, serious AI researcher (and model trainer) is shaken by the alignment security breaches as that count goes up. All are sharing this Eric Wallace talk as a must watch

I've just deleted all my posts on what used to be Twitter. The last thing I saw: A horde of climate change deniers who, once again, are questioning the validity of current temperature readings. That platform so utterly screwed.

How far can I get using AI in cartography? I drove Canada's Icefields Parkway last month, and want to make a poster map of it. Can AI help, and do it well? I started on my phone, then realised it needed more than that and moved to the desktop. AI-first: Claude, a bit of ChatGPT. A thread... 🧵🗺️

A zoomed-out view of the whole basemap, roughly 285 by 311 km of the Canadian Rockies in a painterly natural style. Snow-capped ranges and white glaciers run diagonally through dark green forested valleys, with turquoise lakes and rivers threading between them, opening onto flatter green-and-tan farmland in the north-east.

Everything about this Wall Street Journal story on Polymarket paying influencers to post fake videos of them winning on Polymarket is nuts, up to and including the disclosure statement at the end about the Wall Street Journal's publisher being in a business partnership with Polymarket.

We've become numb to this stuff, but a president accusing a journalist of treason -- a capital crime -- for reporting on an ongoing war is not normal, and we should never accept it as normal.

Trump to NYT's David Sanger: "I had a total military victory. But the fake news, guys like you, write incorrectly. You're a fake guy. We had a total military victory. I actually think it's sort of treasonous what you write. You should be ashamed of yourself. I actually think it's treason."

Wer sich in den vergangenen Wochen etwas mit der NSDAP-Mitgliederkartei beschäftigt hat, musste irritiert sein vom Stunt von Correctiv und Katapult. Viel zu spät haben die Medienhäuser begriffen, was sie da am Dienstag rausgehauen haben. Nun mussten sie ihre Veröffentlichungen zurückziehen. 1/12
