August 2025 was the third-warmest August globally, behind only 2023 and 2024, with an average surface air temperature of 16.60°C, 1.29°C above the estimated 1850-1900 average used to define the pre-industrial level.

Surface air temperature for August 2025 | Copernicus
July 2025 was the fifth month in the last 26 months for which the global-average surface air temperature was not more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Given the small differences among datasets for global temperature anomalies relative to 1991-2020, the months highlighted here in the last 25 months may differ in datasets other than ERA5. Furthermore, there is inherent uncertainty arising from dataset differences in the estimates used for the monthly temperature changes from pre-industri…

One of the issues in the discussion about (gen)AI is the level of anthropomorphizing (terrible word, i have to look it up everytime). AI is not "intelligent" as humans are. It is something different. In some aspects it is better then humans in other (often relatively simple things) incredibly worse. Also we draw wrong conclusions, being able to win a math olympiad is impressive but is not necessarily a sign of intelligence. I view AI as very capable world changing technology. That&…

Supreme Court rejects Jones' appeal of $1.4B Sandy Hook judgment
The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and left in place the $1.4 billion judgment against him over his description of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting as a hoax staged by crisis actors. The Infowars host argued a Connecticut judge was wrong to find him liable for defamation and infliction of emotional distress without holding a trial over allegations lodged by victims' relatives. The justices issued their order Tuesday without even asking the…

Machine-Learning Driven Load Shedding to Mitigate Instability Attacks in Power Grids
Every year critical infrastructure becomes more complex and we grow to rely on it more and more. With this reliance, it becomes an attractive target for cyberattacks from sophisticated actors, with one of the most attractive targets being the power grid. One class of attacks, instability attacks, is a newer type of attack that has relatively few protections developed. We present a cost effective, data-driven approach to training a supervised machine learning model to retrofit load shedding deci…
