In April 2026, Colombia and the Netherlands convened the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta. The conference is the first of a “series of conferences” agreed to by the 18 nation-states participating in the development of a Fossil Fuel Treaty, and will be a solutions-focused forum operating outside the auspices of traditional international climate architecture. https://www.fossilfueltreaty.org/conference #climate

Ukraine’s drone advantage is based on feedback loops and 7-day innovation cycles between user and producer. I wonder if the Swiss and EU armies are capable of cutting their administration and accelerating innovation cycles. https://www.exponentialview.co/p/ukraine-seven-day-drone-advantage?triedRedirect=true

RE: @RalphBassfeld@swiss.social

"I’ve reviewed a lot of tech products over the past decade and a half, and all I can tell you is that it is a failure when you ask people to adapt to computers. Computers should adapt to people. Asking people to make themselves more legible to software —to turn themselves into a database — is a doomed idea." This explains much about why people are frustrated by software.

A memorable quote from Nilay Patel's article on software changing the world: "Anyone who’s actually ever run a database knows this. At some point, the database stops matching reality. At that point, we usually end up tweaking the database, not the world. But the AI industry has fully lost sight of this, because AI thrives on data. It’s just software, after all. And so the ask is for more and more of us to conform our lives to the database, not the other way around." https://www.theverge.com/podcast/917029/software-brain-ai-backlash-databases-automation
