What would it cost to end extreme poverty?
"We estimate that reducing the poverty rate to 1% ... would cost $170B nominal per year."
"The results correspond to a cost of (approximately) ending extreme poverty of roughly 0.3% of global GDP."

First time I've come across Anna's Archive, and only because of this news about scraping and backing up Spotify metadata and music files.

> We archived around 86M music files, representing around 99.6% of listens. It’s a little under 300TB. This is the largest music metadata database that is publicly available.
Many interesting 📊 charts on this page that can only be made by having this scale of data.

When I was on CNN's northeast desk, the first job at 6a every morning was to read the local papers. That guided some of what the massive CNN machine followed every day.
When those papers die, CNN doesn't hire new regional reporters. What you get instead is more panel shows, more punditry.

"The newspaper industry served as a feeder for our entire news media ecosystem. So when we lose those newspapers, we've lost that journalism. In the early 2000s, we had 40 journalists per 100,000 people. We're now down to 8 journalists per 100,000 people," says @victorpickard.bsky.social.

With our R in 3 Months program, we give out multiple scholarships. However, some recipients barely participate at all. This is frustrating because we pass over other recipients who likely would participate further. Any ideas for how we can ensure that scholarship recipients actively participate?

EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.
We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.

If the field did an order of magnitude fewer studies total, and instead pooled resources to do more of these, knowledge production would dramatically accelerate.
We learn more from this one paper than from 50 one-offs examining the predictive validity of implicit measures.

Researchers have used Japan’s Fugaku supercomputer to build a virtual mouse cortex. The model lets scientists run “virtual experiments” on diseases such as epilepsy or Alzheimer’s, tracing how disruptions spread, and testing interventions. buff.ly/JqiLr9q
