New piece for Zeit Online. The deregulation fever gripping Berlin is fine if dosed. But it’s not going to save Germanys promising clean tech sector. For that, industrial policy is indispensable. A good place to start? Align France and Germanys subsidy schemes - as a blueprint for the whole EU

Excelent Bruegel report about gas flows. Having Ukraine as part of the European network adds a lot of storage capacity but worryingly the overall storage levels are as low as 2022 (but still higher than 2021). Would love to also see value (USD) in addition to volume (million cubic meters).

Intentional misinformation is quite the step up from accidental hallucination, isn't it? Eroding trust even further will furter deteriorate the state of democracy.

Very cool that a verified Twitter account apparently claiming to rep DHS has gotten thousands of retweets of its claim of civil war after sharing a stock photo of bricks. bsky.app/profile/roth...

A good illustration of how wrong the "Ru retaliates" narrative is. Any self-respecting journalist should pin this and remind themselves to never fall in this trap again.

Bellingcat repeated their experiment of a few years ago in LLM photo geolocation but using modern models. "…in urban settings, LLMs excelled at cross-referencing subtle details, whereas Google Lens tended to fixate on larger, similar-looking structures…" www.bellingcat.com/resources/ho...

Couldn't agree more with this @adamtooze.bsky.social banger. "The scandal is not that European defence budgets have not already doubled. The scandal is that Europe spends so much and gets so little for it." The European defense enterprise is a total mess. www.ft.com/content/f450...

A 5oz glass of wine has 123 calories, which is burned by 25 minutes of walking ∴ if you take about an ounce worth of sips every 5 minutes, these activities cancel out perfectly.

The problem of false AI-generated satellite (remote sensing) imagery intelligence. Important 🧵 There is another, associated problem: the use of AI to interpret satellite imagery. It used to be the sole preserve of skilled and gifted human analysts. Can AI automation pick up or miss an AI fake?

An independent open source 'Energy Optimization System' looks like it has enormous potential not only for the electrified prosumer but also for amplitude damping in the grid, decreasing the volatility of renewables etc. CC @adrianhiel.bsky.social

Important and concerning article about the struggle of Ukrainian Air defence. There is a surge in difficult to intercept balistic missiles, drone(-tactic)s are evolving and there is a shortage of interceptors.

Trump's assault on universities is act of self-harm that will undermine US long-term interests • Funding cuts will slash government spending on research, making US less attractive for top-notch researchers • Uncertainty around visas will deter world's brightest minds from applying to US universities

Can't comment on the policy zigzag of Trump's trade policy, but for international politics a noteworthy point is that Trump has accepted the EU Commission as the negotiator and directly engaged with vdL. (Maybe he'll even become the federalists' hero if he insist on calling the EU a 'country').

Russia unfortunately is adapting so this kind of interception with machine guns is getting more difficult. Numbers of ballistic missiles are also rising and intercepting those those is another beast entirely. Patriot (and SAMP/T) support is crucial! www.economist.com/europe/2025/...
