Isn't Danish cuisine essentially potatoes and rye bread?

There are many claims that AI is a “planet killing” source of greenhouse gases.

But is it?

This paper might be the most detailed estimate of the emissions associated with AI.

It suggests that AI could emit as much as 30-80 *million* tons of CO2 per year.

Company-wide metrics from the environmental disclosure of data center operators suggest that AI systems may have a carbon footprint equivalent to that of New York City in 2025, while their water footp...

That's strange... It makes sense to uninvite reviewers one doesn't need anymore, but not those who already agreed to review🤦🏻‍♂️ I mean, what's the harm in having one more review?

Bartosz Bartkowski @bartoszbartk.com · 10d

Success! After 2.5 months on my desk, I've succeeded to find 2 people willing to review (one already has submitted their review)🥳 Still:

Reviewers invited: 26
Declined: 11
No response: 13 (of those two are still pending)
Agreed: 2

Es gibt teilweise falsch zugeordnete Zitate. Ist aber natürlich nur eine Auswahl. Also schon eher nur in eine Richtung.

Bartosz Bartkowski @bartoszbartk.com · 13d

Soll heißen: schon immer kam es im Internet darauf an, Quellen kompetent zu nutzen und nicht allem zu glauben, was einem übern Weg läuft. Das ist mit LLMs zugegebenermaßen schwieriger geworden, aber ich meine, bisher noch im eher quantitativen, nicht qualitativen Sinne.

Are you calling for a moratorium on PhD positions/research training groups? Or, asked differently: what do you expect from me/the other PIs? Shouldn't we have applied for the RTG?

Bartosz Bartkowski @bartoszbartk.com · 14d

In the grand scheme of things, I see you point: there is a clear imbalance between base and third-party funding, between PhD positions and other types of positions and between non-permanent vs. permanent positions. But this one RTG is not the grand scheme of things. It's just an RTG.

ECO-N is DFG-funded, so in that sense independent of whatever else the University can or cannot do🤷🏻‍♂️

New paper in the #JARE 📄 🥳

To celebrate 50 years of the Journal of #Agricultural and #Resource #Economics, we contributed our paper "Advancing Agri-Environmental Policy with Behavioral and Experimental Economics: Insights, Innovations, and Future Directions" to the latest special issue. 1/4

Advancing Agri-Environmental Policy with Behavioral and Experimental Economics: Insights, Innovations, and Future Directions

In recent years, behavioral and experimental economics have increasingly shaped agrienvironmental research by revealing how farmers navigate complex decisions. This article reviews key developments in three areas: behavioral insights into farmers’ social, temporal, and risk preferences and identities, norms, and motivations; experimental methods for assessing behavior and policy impacts; and methodological advances enhancing scientific rigor. We highlight contributions to more behaviorally informed agri-environmental policies, including nudges, participatory approaches, and innovative schemes. Looking forward, priorities include large-scale collaborative studies, stronger stakeholder involvement, and integrating behavioral evidence into policymaking, addressing challenges such as farmer fatigue, to design adaptive, effective, and legitimate policies.

Dokumentation ist recht basic und es gibt noch kleine Bugs (die im README z. T. beschrieben sind), aber vielleicht ist es trotzdem hilfreich.

I've always been wondering how many vegetarians eat gummy bears or parmesan without realising that neither is, strictly speaking, vegetarian.

Bartosz Bartkowski @bartoszbartk.com · 16d

Or for them, vegetarian is just "no meat"🤷🏻‍♂️ Who knows.

Bartosz Bartkowski @bartoszbartk.com · 16d

How is gelatin vegetarian?! (I know, there's much more to this, but this is what I stumbled upon most🤷🏻‍♂️)

It's an interesting experience to collaborate with ecologists who per default put the methods section at the end of their manuscripts because they expect them to end up in Nature (portfolio journal).

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"
