Never before have I been as intrigued by a phrase as I was after reading the title "Inflatable space stations"

If we ever want to live in space, we need to work out a way of creating artificial gravity.

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Jimmy Carter's advice to a young person.

My nephew Matthew shared this letter with me yesterday. Five years ago, he wrote to all the living presidents and asked for advice on how to participate in public service. Only Jimmy Carter responded. A precis on how to live a life of service.

The problem with digital ID cards isn't what you think. Here's why Britain and other nations should stop pushing digital ID apps, right now. My latest for @newscientist.com, now free from the paywall! www.newscientist.com/article/mg26...
Digital ID cards could be a disaster in the UK and beyond
The British government isn't the only one looking to introduce digital ID cards. There is so much to worry about here, not least the threat of hacks, says Annalee Newitz

Did a data center write this?
Over the past few months, Americans have looked aghast at their rising electricity bills and found one clear scapegoat: data centers.

But a new study suggests AI and data centers might not be the problem. Instead, it might be the electrical equipment.
There’s a reason electricity prices are rising. And it’s not data centers.
It’s not data centers or AI, it’s something else.

For over a year now I’ve worked so hard and tried everything I could to avoid this. But I couldn’t save enough, so here we are.

I made a Gofundme. Depending on the outcome I will either hire an expensive immigration lawyer and give it one more try, or pack up and use the money to start over.

Of course one should jump into the novels, but this weird assemblage of excerpts isn’t a horrible way to dip into Krasznahorkai.

So-called #genAI means the abolition of the future through the proliferation of endless streams of stochastically rendered generic pasts. Having turned large parts of the cultural archive into training data, it now traps us in a foreverized pastness, a 24/7 nostalgia for a past that never existed
