It appears that I'm not the only European cross about the German car lobby... Germany needs to get a grip, the curve has been bent, EVs are basically inevitable now. https://newsletter-cdn.europeancorrespondent.com/go/85v3kj8tcubod0gp6fwyi8c8ogv3yn8ko02ogcwgc6ml/2866

We could have had these cool EV innovations developed in Europe before if German carmakers hadn't been so bloody stubborn about petrol and diesel engines.
I will never not be cross about their delaying the green transition.

I remember Dunblane shootings happening as clear as anything, I did not know that 2 opposing politicians, both with links to the town, were witness to the crime scene directly afterwards. I imagine this was key to get the legislation banning hand guns through.

Perhaps the US could learn from this approach when it comes to school shootings?

I realise on the fediverse this is maybe asking for a flaming, but yesterday out of sheer curiosity I tried Claude for a simpleish coding task that I'd been putting off (largely inspired by @hausfath@fediscience.org 's latest on #theclimatebrink). The performance of Claude was seriously impressive. I am convinced the AI cycle is more than hype (and have been for a while), the chatbots have been a huge attention hogger, misleadingly so, while the serious work has been done elsewhere. (We are developing ML tools to supplement parts of our climate model workflows).

Now I'm wondering if there is any serious EU competition to Anthropic? - Mistral's codestral perhaps?
Because this kind of performance changes everything and we can't afford to lag behind...

This is also why the US far right are coming for the EU now.. https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/109906653535473465 mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io - Students of US history understand what Lincoln knew: One reason you can't have slavery in some parts of the country and not in others, is because slaves run to the free parts. But many of those same students don't realize that you can't block women's reproductive rights in some parts of the country and let it be legal in others. People travel to California. This frustrates the racists. The racists are coming for women's rights everywhere. Nationwide. And they will use racism to accomplish it.

Leaving Antarctica with computers full of data, notebooks full of notes + numbers and just about as much kit as we brought (+ some waste for correct disposal). Travelling out via the gobsmacking #WhiteDesert. #Antarctica, you've been wonderful, who knows when we'll meet again... #iQ2300

So, #ClimateScience mastofriends, solve an argument between co-authors: When writing a paper specifically using outputs from #CMIP6 models, do you prefer to use GCM or ESM as descriptor?

For, reasons, I find myself looking up serpulids on Wikipedia and look at this beauty. The name Christmas tree worm doesn't really do it justice. Not for the first time I wonder if I should have pursued marine biology as a specialism... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpulidae#/media/File%3ASpirobranchus_giganteus_(Red_and_white_christmas_tree_worm).jpg
