"Where will the von Neumanns, the Einsteins, and the Gödels of our age migrate after the SCOTUS overrules democracy in 2024 and Gödel’s Loophole is proven to exist? At this time, the two major powers of our time, the United States and China seem unlikely locations for brains to settle and grow in the long term."

There was a moment in which Kurt Gödel, Albert Einstein, and John von Neumann were all roaming the halls of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton at the same time. Let that information sink in. Humanity experiences such gatherings of brilliant minds in a remote location of the space-time continuum only every so often; maybe the ancient Greeks and the men of the Renaissance witnessed such periods in time, as did the IAS staff at the end of World War II. How much will we have to wait f…

Last time in Sweden was midsommmar 2022, in Umeå. And it actually did not get dark. But also I wasn’t really sleepy during those days
This time, it's almost winter solstice and I'm way more north in Luleå. Sunrise at 9:37, sundown at 13:11 😲 We will see how that goes

Since ChatGPT came out in late 2022, over *half a million* tech workers have been laid off. That fact, and their voices, aren't really shaping the conversation about AI, and what "AI" really means in culture. So I started to get into it: https://www.anildash.com/2026/01/06/500k-t

Ein paar Anmerkungen zum Markt für Elektroautos in 2025:
* Tesla schrumpft bereits zum 3. Mal in Folge. Inzwischen werden nur noch knapp 25% der Verkäufe aus 2022 erreicht.
* Nicht Smart war es, den KLeinwagen ForTwo gegen einen SUV auszutauschen.
*Für die Chinesen BYD erfüllen sich alle Träume: sie haben Tesla weltweit und auch in D abgehängt: 700% bei Steckerautos.
* D ist zweitgrößter Produzent von Steckerautos. Warum weiter Verbrenner bauen?

Mein Vater war (guter) Kunde im Mitarbeiter-Shop des Unternehmens, bei dem er 2004 nach 35 Jahren Betriebszugehörigkeit in Rente ging. Zuletzt hat er dort 2018 oder 2019 eingekauft, im Januar 2023 ist er verstorben. Ich habe den Shop mehrfach darüber informiert. Kurz vor Weihnachten erneut Werbepost an die Adresse des im Frühjahr 2022 verkauften Elternhauses. Ich überlege jetzt, mal den Datenschutzzuständigen ausfindig zu machen und anzufragen, ob das da alles DSGVO-konform abläuft.

Malaysia lost 20% of its coral reefs in three years
Malaysia’s coral reefs are shrinking at a pace that is hard to ignore. According to the latest national survey by Reef Check Malaysia, about one-fifth of the country’s coral cover has been lost since 2022, a decline compressed into just three years. What had been gradual erosion now looks more like a slide. The 2025 […]
