Every Democrat since Reagan has decreased the deficit. Every Republican since Reagan has increased it.

Two recent studies have re-examined the risk of birds entering in collision with rotor blades of wind turbines. The research found that there was not a single collision. "The results from Aberdeen Bay show that modern offshore wind farms can be operated with low risk to wildlife." euronews.com/2026/04/11/two…

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago."

Esimerkki sukupolvien välisestä tulonsiirrosta: nykyiset eläkeläiset ovat maksaneet selvästi vähemmän eläkemaksuja suhteessa eläkkeisiinsä kuin mitä nuoremmat sukupolvet joutuvat maksamaan, sillä nyt maksettavat eläkkeet ovat pitkälti nuorempien kontolla. 2/

Noise cancelling headphones are apparently a futile solution to office noise… they mostly delude us into thinking they help. This study finds we feel they improve our ability to concentrate, but found no significant improvements in actual concentration. pub.dega-akustik.de/ICA2019/data/a…

Kaikki avaukset polttoainehintojen alentamiseksi heikentävät kannustimia siirtyä pois näistä haavoittuviksi meidät tekevistä energialähteistä. Jos tämä ei ole painava argumentti, julkisen talouden tilanteen pitäisi olla. hs.fi/politiikka/art…

This AI text detector says Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was written by AI.

Absolutely insane: Trump is taking a BILLION DOLLARS in tax money and giving it to a french conglomerate to kill off shore wind farms and subsidize natural gas production in Texas.

A Danish scientist counted bugs on the same windshield, same road, same conditions, every year for 20 years. By year 20, 80% of the insects were gone. In Germany, a group of volunteer bug scientists did something even bigger. They set traps in 63 nature reserves, not farms, protected land, and weighed everything they caught. Same traps, same method, 27 years straight. The total weight of flying bugs dropped 76%. In midsummer, when insects should be peaking, it was 82% gone. A follow-up in 2020 and 2021 checked again. No recovery. In the UK, they literally ask drivers to count splats on their license plates after a trip. The 2024 count came back 63% lower than just 2021. Three years. A 2020 study pulled together 166 surveys from 1,676 locations around the world. Land insects are disappearing at roughly 9% every ten years. Here’s where it hits your plate. About 75% of the food crops we grow depend on insects to pollinate them, everything from apples to almonds to coffee. One 2025 study modeled what a full pollinator collapse would look like: food prices jump 30%, the global economy takes a $729 billion hit, and the world loses 8% of its Vitamin A supply. Birds are already feeling it. North America has lost 2.9 billion birds since 1970. A study from just weeks ago found half of 261 bird species on the continent are now in serious decline, and the losses are speeding up in farming regions. The birds that eat insects lost 2.9 billion. The birds that don’t eat insects? They gained 26 million. That ratio tells the whole story. One of the German researchers behind the 27-year study drives a Land Rover. He says it has the aerodynamics of a refrigerator. It stays clean now.

I know since Don't Look Up, denialist propaganda has intensified, culture shifted & nobody in politics, media or polite society is allowed to mention the climate crisis anymore because it's now seen as uncool to discuss. But the crisis is real & worsening. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

Maybe just maybe the EU auto industry should focus on developing a strong European EV offering and supply chain instead of lobbying to prolong sales of museum vehicles.

This study finds Sweden’s primary boreal forests store ~72% more carbon than managed secondary forests across vegetation, soils, and wood products. Soils drive the largest difference, with total carbon gaps 2.7–8 times higher than previous estimates. Findings challenge assumptions about forest management’s role in climate mitigation and highlight the value of preserving primary forests. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Western carmakers are retreating from EVs just as oil hits $100 a barrel. The parallels with Detroit in the 1980s are striking. They ignored fuel-efficient Japanese cars. Now they’re ignoring Chinese EVs. BYD just unveiled 600-mile range and 250 miles of charge in 5 minutes.

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks.

every AI company is just this

Näin se alkaa. Herran kukkarossa olevat maat alkavat vaatia välien normalisointia Venäjään. Moraalia ei ole. Perusteluna "halpa energia". Surkeaa, Belgia. Belgia on myös suurin kompastuskivi Venäjän varojen suuntaamisessa Ukrainalle. Ei jatkoon. 😡😡

The pipeline that drives discovery - new knowledge and treatments for diseases that affect us all - is collapsing in the United States. New NIH funding opportunities are down 91% this fiscal year.

🚨Nobody is ready for this paper. Every LLM you use GPT-4.1, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Llama-4, Grok, Qwen has a flaw that no amount of scaling has fixed. They cannot tell old information from new information. A patient's blood pressure: 120 at triage. 128 ten minutes later. 125 at discharge. "What's the latest reading?" Any human: "125, obviously." Every LLM, once enough updates pile up: wrong. Not sometimes wrong. 100% wrong. Zero accuracy. Complete hallucination. Every model. No exceptions. The answer sits at the very end of the input. Right before the question. No searching needed. The model just can't let go of the old values. 35 models tested by researchers from UVA and NYU. All 35 follow the exact same mathematical death curve. Accuracy drops log-linearly to zero as outdated information accumulates. No plateau. No recovery. Just a straight line to total failure. They borrowed a concept from cognitive psychology called proactive interference old memories blocking recall of new ones. In humans, this effect plateaus. Our brains learn to suppress the noise and focus on what's current. LLMs never plateau. They decline until they break completely. The researchers tried everything: "Forget the old values"- barely moved the needle Chain-of-thought- same collapse Reasoning models- same collapse Prompt engineering- marginal improvement at best But here's the finding that should reshape how you think about AI infrastructure: Resistance to this interference has zero correlation with context window length. Zero. It only correlates with parameter count. Your 128K context window is not memory. It's a junk drawer that the model can't sort through. The entire AI industry is charging you for longer context. This paper says context length was never the problem. If you're building agents, memory systems, financial tools, healthcare pipelines, or anything that tracks changing data over time you are building on top of this flaw. And almost nobody is talking about it.
