  "There is no point of no return that makes it pointless to act. Our 1.5°C and 2°C targets are not cliffs or thresholds. Every tenth of a degree is worth fighting for as it reduces the impacts of climate change and limits the damage that’s to come. 1.7°C is better than 1.9°C, which is better than 2.1°C. We need to stop obsessing over arbitrary targets and focus on how we can help reduce our carbon emissions as quickly as possible." https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/dont-let-climate-fa...

  "AI absolutely will replace jobs in the future. It will cause job loss to the extent that it'll also cause job creation, and we don't know what the pace of those two things will be, and we don't know how it plays out over time.

  Exciting news for fans of typography! "For decades, software like Adobe InDesign and LaTeX has evaluated multiple lines of text at a time as they decide where to end one line and begin the next. It’s just that the web didn’t use a multiline algorithm. Until now. We are excited to bring this capability to the web for the first time, in Safari Technology Preview 216." https://webkit.org/blog/16547/better-typography-with-text-wrap-pretty/ by @jensimmons

  "Gladwell seems to misunderstand why critics dislike him: It's not because he weaves together various case studies. (That's actually the best part!) It's because the central binding idea is weak or wrong, and he doesn't seem to care." "Taken all together, Gladwell operates in such bad faith that it justifies removing his past, present, and future body of work from the public discourse." https://culture.ghost.io/forget-gladwell...

  "But as OnlyFans’s pool of influencers has grown, it has also professionalized. Many creators now operate like independent media companies, with support staffs, growth strategies and promotional budgets, and work to apply the cold quantification and data analytics of online marketing to the creation of a fantasy life." https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2023/onlyfans-bryce-adams-top-earners-creator-economy/ by @drewharwell via @washingtonpost

  This is a fantastic short read about finding security vulnerabilities in open source systems using static analysis tooling. I liked the approach of using scripts/automation to systematically explore different payload configurations. https://blog.trailofbits.com/2025/08/04/uncovering-memory-corruption-in-nvidia-triton-as-a-new-hire/ by Willis Vandevanter via @trailofbits
