This is super interesting to read because I was very concerned about the water and AI thing so I went to my one scientist friend who literally worked on water reg/quality/usage and asked her about AI, data centers, water etc. She was far more concerned with agriculture abuses than AI.

VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England. I’ve been campaigning for this for ten years: the new Land Use Framework, published later today, makes it government policy. 1/ www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Government to lift paywall from large parts of the Land Registry
Exclusive: finding out who owns land will become simpler under plans to make the best use of green spaces and hit net zero targets

absolutely baffled by the fact that there seems to be no way of staging individual line changes (rather than whole files) in git without going through an interactive/GUI mode 🥴 why why why can i not `git add my_file.txt --lines=5-10` ???
absolutely buzzzzzzing about the doc-to-lora stuff here. sakana use a hypernetwork to adapt an LLM to doc-specific knowledge in a single forward pass 🤯
Sakana AI@sakanaai.bsky.social · 5mo agoWe are excited to introduce Doc-to-LoRA and Text-to-LoRA, two related papers exploring how to make LLM customization faster. By training a hypernetwork to generate LoRA adapters on the fly, models instantly internalize new info. Blog: pub.sakana.ai/doc-to-lora/ Doc-to-LoRA: arxiv.org/abs/2602.15902
Another brilliant explainer on the on different arcs that countries have taken towards decarbonisation from @simonoxfphys.com, using data from @carbonbrief.org and @ember-energy.org 😍

You can place pancakes, crepes, and scrambled eggs on a simplex where the variables are the ratios between milk, eggs, and flour, (with another small axis for baking soda.) We have explored too little of this manifold. More breakfasts can exist than we have known.

Huge water consumer, destroying the planet with CO2 emissions, mostly a negative for their consumers. Something must be done. Yes, that’s right, it’s time to do something about cows.
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.

We took a look at the UK's biggest ever offshore wind auction, and dug into what it will mean for energy bills and the "clean power 2030" plan ⬇️

excellent, excellent round up of all things energy/decarbonisation in 2025. there are a couple of really exciting narratives in here!

Sara Hooker continues to be my fav person pondering the landscape of work in ML. This essay is just as perceptive and provocative as the original hardware lottery paper which it builds upon - i love it
Sung Kim@sungkim.bsky.social · 7mo agoOn the Slow Death of Scaling by Sarah Hooker "For the last decade, it has been hard to stray off the beaten path of accepted wisdom that scaling training parameters drives innovation. However, the relationship between training compute + performance is uncertain + rapidly changing."
So we already have the first major paper of 2026, DeepSeek mHC: Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections. arxiv.org/pdf/2512.24880 Short thread: this is actually an engineering paper, taking as a starting points ideas already exposed in an original Hyper-Connections (HC) paper from ByteDance.
