In 2022 I drove across Canada from Ottawa to northern BC. I remember driving for three full days around the top of Lake Superior with a wall of mostly dead trees on either side of the road the whole way, thinking, man when Ontario burns, there's going to be no stopping it. And here we are.

Mixl (AfD) postet: 206.600 Wohnungen 2025, –18 %, Baupreise 5 %. „Dank SPD und Union."
Die Zahlen stimmen. Nur: Was 2025 fertig wurde, wurde 2022/23 genehmigt – Zinsschock. Der ZDB nennt es „direkte Folge des Genehmigungseinbruchs ab 2022". Die Regierung ist seit Mai 2025 im Amt.
Und: Beim Bau-Turbo (§246e BauGB, 9.10.2025) – Genehmigung in 2 Monaten – stimmte die AfD dagegen.
Er fordert, was er abgelehnt hat.

—a figure that rises to 99% in America and Europe.
A paper published in Science found that between 2011 and 2022 the night sky grew almost 10% brighter each year.
With so many places awash with artificial light, people are increasingly seeking out the darkness.

Water systems are ripe for cyberattacks,
experts warn after suspected Iranian hacks

The idea wasn’t new.
The spy agencies had long watched as Iran targeted Israeli water systems.

AfD-MdB Köhler beklagt die Abschiebung von Nancy Mensah nach 24 Jahren auf Borkum. Bemerkenswert.
Sie wurde nicht abgeschoben, weil der Staat versagt hat – sondern weil er genau so funktioniert, wie die AfD es will: Titel abgelaufen, kein Ermessen, Vollzug.
Als der Bundestag 2022 das Chancen-Aufenthaltsrecht beschloss, stimmte die AfD dagegen.

@carlos@social.perceptiveconstructs.comVaak ben ik het wel met Yusibov eens, maar in dit geval niet. De oorlog winnen en een sterke Poetin in het zadel houden in 2022 had niets opgelost.
Rusland moet uiteindelijk zien dat Poetin geen oplossing biedt. De oorlog die Oekraïne nu naar Rusland brengt kan daar hopelijk het nodige aan bijdragen.

Organizational Technology Ladders: Remote Work and Generative AI Adoption
Gregor Schubert

Abstract: This study proposes that firms move along an "organizational technology ladder": adopting one technology transforms hiring and work processes and builds skills and organizational capital that change the cost of adopting subsequent technologies. I study how firms' adoption of remote work technology during the COVID-19 period shaped later uptake of generative AI. Using U.S. job-posting data and an instrumental-variables strategy based on predicted differences in labor-market pressure to offer remote work, I estimate that a 10 percentage point increase in remote hiring in 2021-2022 increases the share of job postings mentioning generative AI in 2023-2024 by 0.4 percentage points across firms and 0.7 percentage points across occupations within firms. I provide evidence on mechanisms consistent with a technology-ladder channel: remote work adoption shifts hiring toward technical and managerial capabilities that predict faster conversion of generative AI exposure into adoption. Firms with return-to-office mandates---interpreted as revealing low remote productivity---exhibit a substantially larger response of generative AI adoption to remote work, consistent with an organizational frictions channel.

First, let’s talk about “grokking”.
In 2022, OpenAI published a paper showing that if you train a model on a simple dataset
(for instance, a simple mathematical operation like division),
and keep training it long after the training looks like it’s stalled out,
the model will suddenly make a massive jump in capability.
Why does this work?
The first stage of training is like rote memorization:
the model has to compress as much of the training data as…

dom: Animal dominance archive (2022)
Animal dominance interaction data published over a century of research. The archive contains 434 agonistic interaction datasets, totaling over 241,000 interactions. A directed edge (i,j) corresponds to an antagonist interaction between i (winner) and j (loser). If a 'weight' edge property map exists, it counts the number of such interactions.
This network has 12 nodes and 72 edges.
