But one thing seems absolutely clear, the Greens have momentum and particularly with young people. The Greens now lead among Gen Z (28 and under adults) Britons in our latest polling 2 points ahead of Labour.

El fin de la paciencia, con Xan López. Una novedad radical
La crisis climática supone un límite abrupto a la proverbial paciencia inscrita en nuestros deseos de emancipación, pero nuestra tradición política apenas se ha enterado.

The Political Economy of AI: A Syllabus
As I’ve noted occasionally before, one of the most potentially useful things that academics do is preparing syllabi, and hence organizing information about the world.

We introduce curved neural networks naturally introducing high-order interactions showing:
• explosive phase transitions
• enhanced memory retrieval via self-annealing
• increased memory capacity through geometric curvature

Explosive neural networks via higher-order interactions in curved statistical manifolds - Nature Communications
Higher-order interactions shape complex neural dynamics but are hard to model. Here, authors use a generalization of the maximum entropy principle to introduce a family of curved neural networks, reve...

Una apuesta valiente para afrontar un contexto cada vez más caótico y acelerado. El marco actual no garantiza ni la transición ni el empleo.

Las ayudas universales son compatibles con subidas de impuestos progresivos y facilitan muchísimo tanto su gestión como que no sea una vergüenza solicitarlas. Que sea universal no significa que no paguen más lo que más tienen sino que lleguen a todas las personas que las necesitan sin 20 formularios

Intuyo que un punto ciego de muchos movimientos por la defensa del territorio es la incapacidad de imaginar las formas en que la crisis climática puede devastar dichos territorios. Es más fácil entender el impacto de un macroparque eólico hoy que la desertización de la misma zona en cincuenta años.

A loose private network on Signal and WhatsApp helped usher in the new alliance between Silicon Valley and Donald Trump’s new right.

5. But right now my job doesn't feel like the best job in the world.
Targeted attacks on university funding have put every US institution into a severe crisis. As of now, there is no way we will be able to continue doing the biomedical research, the conversation science, etc. that we always have.

1. For the past thirty years I've had the best job in the world.
I've had the opportunity to follow my curiosity; explore the workings of nature and society; mentor students and junior colleagues in the same process; and teach generations of students about it all.
