I wish people would stop describing things that are indisputably provable as a matter of fact as "controversial." People not liking a fact doesn't mean the fact is controversial. Reality is not malleable around our beliefs and it shouldn't be. We need to stop acting like it is.

I was consulted, a while ago, on whether a clock that counted down the estimated carbon budget for 1.5°C would be a good idea. I asked them what they planned to do when it went past zero? I did not get an answer, and they didn’t ask me anything again. 🤷

I previously wrote an explainer about why if you just compare infections (or another outcome) directly to control measures – like Macedo and Lee did – rather than thinking about transmission, you'll generally get totally wrong conclusion about effectiveness: kucharski.substack.com/p/how-contag...

I still think 48-hour detentions without a hearing are too long. Americans are far too comfortable letting other people be detained without a legally sufficient reason.

This is the real reason they're masked and don't provide ID. It's not to prevent blowback. They don't care about blowback. They went to proud boys rallies and "mass deportation now" rallies without masks. It's that they're contracting out this work to people with no legal authority to make arrests.

The BBC has confirmed it won’t air its documentary on Gaza’s medics. I know some of the journalists involved and they’re absolutely excellent. This statement is mealy-mouthed; you can’t “both sides” the facts on the ground of a genocide, and there’s a clear public interest in documenting those facts

New piece on why it’s unhelpful to characterise COVID debate as ‘lockdowns are bad’ vs ‘lockdowns are good’ when it was really about people who claimed that COVID was 100x less fatal than it was + optimal to have a massive epidemic immediately before vaccine… vs those who sense checked these claims.

If a colleague had the reliability rate of an LLM, they would be fired. If ordinary* software did, it would be uninstalled. LLMs require the chat format, because chat makes us party to the conversation. We insert the meaning ourselves - and hold it to a different standard. It's the mirror effect.

Not only reckless and dangerous, but telling — ICE as an org is relentlessly seeking to exploit local license plate trackers to locate and target immigrant drivers, yet here we have what is reported to be an federal agent very concerned with being tracked themselves.
