We, UN Independent experts conclude that:
“While States debate terminology - is it or is it not genocide? - Israel continues its relentless destruction of life in Gaza/This is one of the most ostentatious and merciless manifestations of the desecration of human life and dignity/The decision is stark: remain passive and witness the slaughter of innocents or take part in crafting a just resolution/The global conscience has awakened, justice will ultimately prevail”.
States must act now to end the violence or bear witness to the annihilation of the Palestinian population in #Gaza: UN experts demand immediate international intervention as Israel continues relentless destruction of life in Gaza

Guess what % of plastics have been #recycled? No prizes :(
ALT A Sankey diagram shows how a total of the 8.3 billion tonnes of plastic ever produced by humanity has ended up either being totally discarded, incinerated or still in use. 31% are still in use. The remainder have been dumped or burnt.

Eight nations are responsible for more than half of the globe's plastic pollution, according to the study's data. f-st.co/51noXti

Signed distance functions (SDFs) are fundamental tools in graphics, vision, and physics simulation.
But how do you get a high-quality SDF from messy, real-world input? At #SIGGRAPH2024, we introduced a simple method for turning "broken" geometry into a well-behaved SDF. <🧵>

Here's a weird consequence of our shift from capitalism (where riches come from profits) to feudalism (where riches come from rents): increasingly, your rights to your property (physical stuff you own) are trumped by corporations' metaphorical "intellectual property" claims.

Breaking News!
On July 21, 2024, the global mean surface temperature set a new modern record high of 17.09°C, beating the record of 17.07°C, set on July 6, 2023.
This record is "preliminary" for the next 24 hours. This may mark the planet's warmest day in over 100k years.

Got to admire the hubris with which the AI pioneer John McCarthy, speaking in 1973, confesses to have coined the term "artificial intelligence" as a fund-raising gimmick.

Your 'moment of doom' for May 9, 2024 ~ the thrill is gone.
"The step-change in ocean temperatures over last year is huge...The fact we can't simulate these step-change increases and understand why it's happening is terrifying."

Okay then, let's not talk about doom or tipping points. Let's talk about solutions.
Let's mine the f&%k out of earth's minerals and metals, destroy ecosystems and crash the biosphere, so that we can continue growing industrial civilization ... for the children.

🌡️ ERA5 data from @CopernicusECMWF indicates that 17 November was the first day that the global temperature exceeded 2°C above pre-industrial levels, reaching 2.07°C above the 1850-1900 average and the provisional ERA5 value for 18 November is 2.06°C.
