With "efficiency" people think about the engine thrust per amount of fuel. But airlines have an operational efficiency also depending on load factors, cabin layout (first class booh!) and aircrafts being used. We measure this in gCO2 emitted per revenue passenger kilometer. Some areas

Yay! We got an exclusive feature from The Guardian on our paper, published today in Nature Comm Earth&Environment www.nature.com/articles/s43... Airlines won't like it but we suggest to get rid of business and first class. Why? Because that way more people can fly for the same emissions

How big is too big for a pull request? 😬

I think on an iPhone it’s impossible to stop for exactly 0.37s. 0.36 yes, 0.38 too but not 0.37. Why?

Also will be renamed to ClosedAI to better reflect the company's values.
Breaking News: OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, has adopted a for-profit structure, allowing it to operate like a more traditional company while it raises the billions of dollars it needs to develop artificial intelligence.
OpenAI Restructures as For-Profit Company
The artificial intelligence company said that the nonprofit that controlled the organization would receive a $130 billion stake in the new company.

Woa? Crazy to see how well they are correlated. Anyone an explanation for that?

Maybe climate change could be good for growth after all 🫣

Anyone knows how much of that can be attributed to the change to GPUs? 5 years ago some supercomputers had GPUs but not all, now it’s hard to find the CPU-only ones!
How much more efficient have supercomputers become over the last 5 years? Just analysed the top 100 of top500.org : 4x for the most efficient supercomputers in the world, what was top in 2020 is now at the bottom of that Green100 list. Total energy consumption has increased nevertheless

I didn't know the world largest offshore wind farm Dogger Bank is being built off the coast of Yorkshire, 4GW!!! It's huge, so cool

Big oil has always been lying to us.
A new Nature article using GEM data (@globalenergymon.bsky.social) found that the top 250 oil and gas firms own just 2% of the world's renewable power. #renewables 💡🧪

You think ripples in spectral models are weird? Yes, step functions in spectral models are represented with many "weird" oscillations. Sea level will be negative next to big mountains, etc. But that's just the equivalent of representing something smooth with little discrete steps, which arguably 🧵

ICE attempted

It needed to be scored.

Is it professionally acceptable to not have MS Word/Powerpoint/Excel etc and ask for other formats? Maybe just me but I find this software exceptionally fragile: A powerpoint presentation created with powerpoint cannot be opened with powerpoint with a hint to open it with powerpoint, wut???
