The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.
Our response then must be our response now:
NO to violations of international law.
NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.
NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.
NO TO WAR.

A few days ago, the journal eLife published a self-study on the first year of its new publishing model, and it is well worth a look. Here are some notes based on my own experience with the journal as author and reviewing editor: markusmeister.com/2024/03/17….
Thousands of authors have put their trust in our vision for publishing.
Today, we look back at the first year of our new model in numbers. 1/3

I think the real reason AI x-risk has so thoroughly overwhelmed EA is not that it's a large risk to humanity but it's a large risk to EA itself, in that it's a theoretical case that shows the limitations of the EA project to quantify all possible harm.

Germany's Energiewende but Keeping the Nuclear:
Almost looks like a real decarbonization plan.
ALT Chart showing a simple model of what Germany's daily carbon intensity of electricity could've looked like if it phased out coal instead of nuclear from 2001 to 2023. July 2022 to June 2023 average carbon intensity would drop by almost a factor of four in this model.

Gestern habe ich die vollendetste Fahrradstadt der Welt besucht. Utrecht. Von 360.000 Einwohnern fahren hier täglich 125.000 Menschen mit dem Rad. Viel hatte ich gelesen, als ich endlich dort ankam, war ich sprachlos. Lasst mich euch mitnehmen, in eine unglaubliche Stadt (1/10).

Our work passed the Sacred Gates and is now Real Science™️! It payed the tribute of humongous APCs and botched layout to please future grant reviewers.
But if you are suspicious of peer review, as you should, check out data and code, available online for *every single figure*!

It's not just the loss of low carbon generation, but the additional loss of technology, know-how and even heritage that will end up defining Germany's nuclear phase out as one of the most irresponsible policies of modern times

This is not a dystopian movie.
This is the "coal mafia" destroying our future in #Luetzerath. 🇩🇪
