Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:

One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

Photo of a missing slice of cheesecake that looks like a cheesecake hull floating in a deep blue ocean. The "ocean" is actually the blueberry topping on the large cheesecake that we don't see completely.

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

A new tool lets your favorite AI model talk with 2 million articles from The Guardian The intersection of news archives and large language models is a topic for the courtroom these days — but it can also bring useful overlaps.

Consider this a proof-of-concept of how a publisher could decide to connect its work to AI interfaces — its own or someone else’s.

In the last week, Marines were deployed in an American city, the president has called for a governor to be arrested & the speaker of the House has called for that gov to be tarred & feathered, a senator has been pinned and handcuffed, and two state legislators have been shot in their homes.

What?! 108-Gigapixel Scan of Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring. Several years ago, digital microscope technology company Hirox collaborated with The Mauritshuis museum to create a 10-gigapixel scan of Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring. Recently, Hirox upped the game

This is bonkers: a 108-gigapixel scan of Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring. Each pixel is 1.3 microns in size (1000 microns = 1mm). At full zoom, the tiny cracks in the paint look like canyons. [kottke.org]

Energie aus fallendem Regenwasser Wasserkraft 2.0: Aus Regentropfen lässt sich doch erneuerbarer Strom in rentablen Mengen erzeugen, wie ein Experiment zeigt. Optimal dafür sind senkrecht

„Solche Plug-Flow-Systeme seien zudem günstiger, umweltfreundlicher, einfacher einzurichten und zu warten als Wasserkraftwerke und nicht nur für ländliche Gegenden mit viel Platz, sondern auch für städtische Räume wie Dächer geeignet.“ www.scinexx.de?p=300057

Why I Left the Washington Post Owner Jeff Bezos wants to transform the Opinions section of the paper, where I worked for forty years. After the publisher killed my column disagreeing with that move—it appears here in full—I decided...

Ruth Marcus hat 40 Jahre bei der Washington Post gearbeitet und am Montag gekündigt. Jetzt hat der New Yorker die Kolumne veröffentlicht, die ihr Ex-Arbeitgeber nicht drucken wollte. Ich setze auf den Streisand-Effekt.

Screenshot of a new comments summary feature: "The comments express significant dissatisfaction with The Washington Post's new focus on "personal liberties and free markets" in its opinion section. Many readers perceive this shift as a move towards a more conservative, right-wing stance, aligning with the interests of wealthy individuals like Jeff Bezos. There is a strong sentiment of betrayal among long-time subscribers, with numerous comments indicating plans to cancel subscriptions due to concerns over compromised journalistic integrity and a perceived narrowing of diverse viewpoints." A button to 'View the conversation' shows that it's based on 5660 comments.

The product teams over at the Post have put together a nifty feature that summarises comments.

Here's the one on the story about the owner's latest move... They're not loving it

Es ist besser, Powerpoint nicht zu benutzen, als Powerpoint falsch zu benutzen.

Bin nicht 100% überzeugt von der D-Day-Ablaufpyramide. Dem Slide fehlt es an Entschlossenheit.
