Imigração tem efeito zero sobre os salários dos nacionais

It is weird that of all the possible slogans, Irish bigots chose "Ireland is full" when, very notably, Ireland is basically the only country in the world with fewer people than it had 200 years ago

Por um instante, pensei ter tido uma ideia genial: um geoguessr, mas com itens dos acervos dos museus históricos e antropológicos. Ex aparece um jarro e o jogador chuta o local e século. Googlei agora e vi que, claro, já existe algo parecido. Usa só fotos, mas é igualmente viciante: timeguessr.com

Undoubtedly one of the best pieces published by the Atlantic, and a warning call whenever I hear a higher up telling me that we can scale up our work competitively using chatbots.

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

They are masters of turn-based tactical combat (and I'm including Battletech here). I wish there were more games like that.

New: Wrote about a Google trial exhibit that the public seemed to have paid little attention to. The document shows Google had a “hard red line” and would require all publishers who wanted their content to show up in the search page to also be used to feed AI features. with @julialove.bsky.social ⤵

Such a piss take from Google. Deliberately making their search product worse by excluding some results... just to get access to free training data

It seems we are losing the most virtuous of politicians (to old age). Are we now entering a new age of crooks and con artists as leaders? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A pesquisadora brasileira Mariangela Hungria, engenheira agrônoma associada à Embrapa, foi premiada com o 'Nobel da Agricultura' por trabalho que mantém Brasil como 'celeiro do mundo' www.bbc.com/portuguese/a...

"It is time to put the divisions of the past behind us and act in the national interest." "We are ready to work constructively with the government to build a closer, more pragmatic relationship with our European friends and neighbours." @jamesmaccleary.bsky.social

Lula é uma vergonha pra esquerda mundial. Mas né, ele é daqueles dinossauros que ainda acredita que a Russia moderna é herdeira da União Soviética ao invés de ser o estado fascistóide mais reacionário da atualidade.

Just watched Seinfeld's episode where Elaine asks a Joel Rifkin to change his name to OJ, to shake off associations with murders. Ah, the sweet 90s...

The mods of r/ChangeMyView shared the sub was the subject of a study to test the persuasiveness of LLMs & that they didn't consent. There’s a lot that went wrong, so here’s a 🧵 unpacking it, along with some ideas for how to do research with online communities ethically. tinyurl.com/59tpt988

A bit later than planned, but we finally published the journal article about our IPC 2020 winning planner (HyperTensioN). link.springer.com/article/10.1...

This blog post makes so many great points. I want to highlight the point about industry benefiting from not having to pay for the cost of trainings their scientists. It’s why AI Industry labs are so productive. They’re staffed with fully trained phds with 5-10 years of experience. It’s amazing…

Eye opening episode of the History of the Germans. historyofthegermans.com/2025/04/17/1... Between the Nobel in 1901 and 1933, a total of 31 went to German scientists and politicians. The UK and France received 17 and 15 respectively, the US just 6. This all flipped after purging of universities.

An astronomy professor colleague of mine once relayed trying to explain to his students why it was important that they actually write their class reports themselves. “The point is not to teach ME about neutron stars,” he said.

Donald Trump's tariff regime “will further isolate the country at a moment when others stand ready to fill the vacuum," writes Michael Schuman.

AI companies demand huge amounts of data to train their programs. Peer inside LibGen, a pirated library of millions of books and research papers used by Meta and others:

A US military officer making an obvious statement of fact - that Denmark is a good ally - is now a fireable offence. Wrongthink will not be tolerated. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
