+1 for the Metaculus [1] reference. I came across the concept of calibration while reading “How to measure anything” (see the _equivalent bet test_ in this review [2]) and find it really powerful in theory and really hard in practice. [1]

I disagree. The IPCC may contain a lot of scientific evidence but the way it is presented is highly political. Every word in it had to be negotiated and that is not the same as “carefully chosen”. If you want to dive into climate change I’

Atmospheric CO2 will linger in the atmosphere for several millennia [1]. Not all of it, of course, but a large enough amount to matter for many, many generations to come. [1] https://www.nature.com/articles/climate.2008

It’s kinda straightforward forward that without cutting greenhouse gas emissions any five year period for the foreseeable future will be record-breaking, right? And even if we were cutting down emission to zero today, we would still get a w

I‘m currently playing around with Oceananigans.jl ( https://github.com/CliMA/Oceananigans.jl ). Do you know how both are similar or different? Oceananigans.jl has really intuitive step-by-step examples and a great discus

I think the editorial capabilities of ChatGPT are fantastic, and the author provides a good list of examples. On top of that I would add that ChatGPT is really good as composing text. The meaning making is therefore still what we have to do

The English translation of his famous book “Storms of Steel” doesn’t carry the same weight as the original German title “In Stahlgewittern”. (German compound words are the best). Thinking about it it made me realize what a stark contrast th

Because people here talk a lot about extinction, I just wanted to point out that 99% of all species ever to have lived died out. What remained are the one we currently are in company with. Also, after each mass extinction, there was a massi
