The geopolitical transformation that renewable energy and electrification will bring is the greatest, world-history-changing megatrend that most policy and security pundits, most politicians and large swaths of the so-called business elites ignore (or negate) almost completely.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.
If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Quanta’s write-ups of math discoveries are always enjoyable to read. In this case an undergraduate (!) figured out something new about hash tables and how fast they can be. Not sure yet when this will be shipped in code, but still it’s a pretty amazing discovery.
Undergraduate Upends a 40-Year-Old Data Science Conjecture | Quanta Magazine
A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible.

Solar ist die billigste Stromquelle in der Menschheitsgeschichte. Wächst die Branche weiter, könnte sie bald den Strombedarf der ganzen Welt decken.

Today, many people assume AI works best with structured, defined tasks.
But the reality is quite different: AI is reshaping how we turn fuzzy intuitions into tangible, powerful ideas.

Wonderful from the Süddeutsche. Don't need to speak German. Click through to the video: staff in a nursing home showing who is and is not born in Germany. Immigration is valuable. A powerful. message. @SZ

Pflegekräfte mit Migrationshintergrund: Video aus Passauer Seniorenheim geht viral
In einem Video zeigt ein Passauer Altenheim, woher die meisten Pflegekräfte stammen – nicht aus Deutschland. Ein Beitrag mit Haltung.

It's impossible to overstate how electricity is going to completely rewire the energy system.
The UK's useful energy in 2050 in a net-zero system will be 10% higher than in 2025, while it's primary energy use will decline by 33%. www.carbonbrief.org/ccc-reducing...

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.
I'm sure many have said this before but I'm reading a student-facing document about how students might use AI in the classroom (if allowed) and one of the recs is: use AI to make an outline of your reading! But ISN'T MAKING THE OUTLINE how one actually learns?
