Unpopular Opinion: Space tourism is GOOD!

It drives job creation in aerospace, makes space lift more economical, and accelerates progress rather than slowing it down.

Seeing both far right and far left get tilted about the Nobel Peace Price is kinda wild. Being anti-authoritatian is unequivocally a good thing and Maduro isn't virtuous because he's against the collective West. It shouldn't be that hard.

Python 3.14 is out today! Here are my notes on the new release: simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/8/p...

If you're an open source library maintainer who supports all current Python releases this also means you can drop 3.9 support now and start depending on features from 3.10, like match/case

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Zelensky: Europe must stop importing any Russian oil and gas. All this money is spent by Russia directly on the war. We see no increase in social support inside Russia, funds are going to the war. If there is a shortage of money for the war, social support for people in Russia will decrease.

I have been wondering if there is an underlying capability factor that all the many benchmarks for AI are measuring.

It seems like the answer is yes. Overall correlation is moderate but not bad (median r ≈ 0.51) and there are distinct clusters (eg reasoning, code) with VERY high correlation.

I talked about air conditioning & climate resilience in @aohnsman.bsky.social’s piece in Forbes. Tl;dr people should have air conditioning so they don’t die in heat waves.

People didn’t “used to be fine” without air conditioning during heat waves in the U.S. - a lot more people *just died*.

According to this study, air conditioning has cut heat deaths in the U.S. by around 80% since 1960.

John Morales called the type of situation we've seen in TX given the indiscriminate cuts to NWS and NOAA.

“The original forecast we received on Wednesday from the National Weather Service predicted 3-6.... The amount of rain that fell in these locations was never in any of their forecasts.”
