»Oft faulenzt er tagelang, hat er aber viel Arbeit, dann arbeitet er Tag und Nacht mit unermüdlicher Ausdauer fort; eine bestimmte Zeit zum Schlafen und Wachen gibt es bei ihm nicht; sehr oft bleibt er ganze Nächte auf, dann legt er sich wieder mittags ganz angekleidet aufs Kanapee und schläft bis abends, unbekümmert um die ganze Welt, die bei ihm frei aus- und eingeht.« (Preußischer Spitzelbericht über Marx, 1852/53)

From Clean Energy Review
In Edmonton’s Blatchford neighbourhood, a new “virtual power plant” is flipping the script on how communities use energy. Twenty (but soon-to-be 100) townhomes, each equipped with rooftop solar panels and energy storage, are not just powering themselves—they can feed the grid, manage peak demand, and even provide emergency backup when the lights go out. It’s a glimpse of what clean households could look like across Canada.

Optimal Pair Matching Combined with Machine Learning Predicts a Significant Reduction in Myocardial Infarction Risk in African Americans following Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation
Conflicting clinical trial results on omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (n-3 HUFA) have prompted uncertainty about their cardioprotective effects. While the VITAL trial found no overall cardiovascular benefit from n-3 HUFA supplementation, its substantial African American (AfAm) enrollment provided a unique opportunity to explore racial differences in response to n-3 HUFA supplementation. The current observational study aimed to simulate randomized clinical trial (RCT) conditions by matchi…

Turning grapevine waste into clear, strong, biodegradable films for food packaging - a sustainable solution to plastic pollution. #climatechange #climatesolutions #climate

Scientists turn grapevine waste into clear, strong films that vanish in days
Amid growing concerns over plastic waste and microplastics, researchers are turning agricultural leftovers into biodegradable packaging. Using cellulose extracted from unlikely sources, including grapevine canes, they have created strong, transparent films that break down in just 17 days without leaving harmful residue.

Chronologically Consistent Generative AI
We introduce a family of chronologically consistent, instruction-following large language models to eliminate lookahead bias. Each model is trained only on data available before a clearly defined knowledge-cutoff date, ensuring strict temporal separation from any post-cutoff data. The resulting framework offers (i) a simple, conversational chat interface, (ii) fully open, fixed model weights that guarantee replicability, and (iii) a conservative lower bound on forecast accuracy, isolating the s…
