"A few inventions drawn by these 1899 artists came true. The 'Advance Sentinel in a Helicopter' has been documenting traffic for decades now. A lot of farm work is indeed automated. And 'Electric Scrubbing' is now called a Roomba." openculture.com/2024/02/how-fr…
We spoke with over a dozen biosecurity experts about what they see as the biggest misconceptions in their field. We granted them anonymity to encourage candid responses, and we wrote an article based on 14 of their answers. Read the full article on our website.
I resent that it’s considered social acceptable for another family to hand my child a cloth napkin, explaining their project to “reduce their footprint,” practically in the same breath as mentioning they’ll spend a month traveling internationally this summer
The idea that it's not meaningful to assign probabilities to unique future events is very silly and impractical. It's like rejecting a vaccine trial on the grounds that philosophers haven't decisively solved the problem of induction. astralcodexten.com/p/in-continued…
Unusual example of a non-hereditary military dictatorship that lasted hundreds of years from 1250 to 1520. The rate of coups was so high on average leaders lasted only 5 years: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamluk_Su…

I've seen a few people remark that it's ironic that the workers of OpenAI sided with their billionaire CEO over a non-profit board. But that misunderstands the board's intended purpose — never protecting OpenAI staff from its leadership, but rather protecting society from OpenAI…

The most important finding in education policy is that your tiny concept school run by people so incredibly passionate abt education they designed a concept school+ attended by kids whose parents are so obsessive abt education they send their kids to a concept school works great.
Terrible to see the many reports about rising suicide rates among young people in the US. I wanted to see whether this is also happening in other countries. In many other countries it isn't happening, and rates are mostly constant or falling

Wow, this would be great. Hope this happens. As an EU passport holder I feel awful that many Britons can't live in the rest of Europe like I can, and more European immigration would be great for cities like London.
1/ Brexit law- proposal to negotiate a youth mobility treaty between the EU and the UK Press release - note basic rule would be a 4-year stay for 18-30 year olds who meet the conditions ec.europa.eu/commission/pre… But wait, there's more
Three's 5G home broadband is great. No contract, £25/month, and no setup, so really simple if (eg) you're moving house. My Hyperoptic installation needed a permit from the council and god knows how long that'll take, but I'm tempted to just stick with this.
Terrible to see the many reports about rising suicide rates among young people in the US. I wanted to see whether this is also happening in other countries. In many other countries it isn't happening, and rates are mostly constant or falling
US politics is an outlier, and should not be seen as representative of the rich world. Between 2006 and 2023, trust in national institutions increased in all of the G7 except the US, where it fell substantially.
The Future of Humanity at Oxford has unfortunately closed. The long-term future is often the subject of thoughtless narratives and empty rhetoric. During its 19 years, FHI showed that precise and incisive thinking about the long-term future is possible and most fertile. ->

What a joke. This “conservation area” looks terrible, and a mansard roof would make this street begin to look better, not to mention adding extra floor space.
Islington rejects another setback roof extension. On Holloway Road - 5 mins from station and where flats often used by renters. Argued as damaging to conservation area despite a huge mix of architecture across many of the terraces which are in poor condition.
Fascinating chart. This is what a housing shortage does: when renters' earnings rise, nearly half of the increase gets eaten by higher rents. If everything we consume was like this, growth wouldn't make us better off at all. There's no reason housing needs to be this way either.
57% of smokers think vaping is at least as bad for their health as smoking is. If they realised that vaping is *much* healthier, lots of them would switch. It is a failure of Whitty's, as @CMO_England, that more of them don't know this! ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/feb/…
Interesting replies to this. What I'm gathering from golfers is that they think their sport is so unpopular that there wouldn't be enough demand to sustain golf courses anywhere if the law didn't prohibit the land from being used for anything else.
New: London has a shortage of homes, but it doesn't have a shortage of golf courses. In fact, London’s 95 golf courses take up more land than the entire borough of Brent. Here's the case for building on some of them. samdumitriu.com/p/homes-or-golf
Huge permitting reform news: The Bureau of Land Management is giving geothermal energy exploration a categorical exclusion from environmental review under NEPA. If you care about clean energy abundance, this is a massive win.
