Thermodynamic Computing Promises Energy-Efficient AI Images What if AI could create stunning images with a fraction of the energy used today?

Fascinating. The training of diffusion models used to generate AI imagery requires enormous amounts of random information. But generating random numbers using normal chips uses huge amounts of energy. Random numbers can be generated in *much* more efficient ways.

Norway's gift to the UK this year comes with strings attached - they are pressuring the UK to sign off on the mega-polluting Rosebank oil field.

Fantastic discussion lecture at @mpidr.bsky.social by @rmcelreath.bsky.social 😍

I cannot agree more with @ezagheni.bsky.social who introduced the guest as a true renaissance scientist of today 💎

Very thought provoking. I hope it will add to the collection of those "embarrassing" YouTube footage 🙃

🛰️🛩️🌍 New study led by PhD candidate Alouette van Hove combines drone, satellite data, and ground-based flux data to infer methane emissions from ruminants in Kenya. Read more about it here www.circagric.org/2025/10/01/d... or get all the details in the paper bg.copernicus.org/articles/22/...

Inferring methane emissions from African livestock by fusing drone, tower, and satellite data Abstract. Considerable uncertainties and unknowns remain in the regional mapping of methane sources, especially in the extensive agricultural areas of Africa. To address this issue, we developed an…

Universe’s mysteries may never be solved because of Trump’s Nasa cuts, experts say ‘Extinction-level cuts’ to space agency’s spending means labs will close and deep-space missions will be abandoned

True, but Trump did help solve the Fermi Paradox

Now we just need the multivariate generalization 😅

Researcher on land surface model calibration | FINN.no About the positionSummary: CICERO is expanding our research on land surface modeling, which is essential to address societal questions regarding climate

We are hiring a researcher in land model calibration at @ciceroclimate.bsky.social in Oslo, Norway - developing FATES-CLM for NorESM in #CMIP7 with @rosieafisher.bsky.social . Land surface modelers and UQ/ML people, we'd love to hear from you. www.finn.no/391168589

Ever wondered why presenting more facts can sometimes *worsen* disagreements, even among rational people? 🤔

It turns out, Bayesian reasoning has some surprising answers - no cognitive biases needed! Let's explore this fascinating paradox quickly ☺️

Our son is the only one in his class of 28 who opted out of going to church today, so he has to stay and read his book on his own. It feels very odd to me that this happens at all. In France there would be riots...
