Powerful computational tools are cool. But not when the vast majority of funding is lined up for research towards WMDs. Thumbnail is cringe, but I'm glad 404 has the Alamos budget on display in this article.
Ypsilanti, Michigan has officially decided to fight against the construction of a 'high-performance computing facility' that would service a nuclear weapons laboratory 1,500 miles away.

Some of the most remarkable lost artefacts from the ancient world were the titanic wrecks of the Nemi ships, built for a Roman emperor.
In their first-century heyday they held gardens, palaces and baths in a floating wonderland. But barely a decade after their recovery, they were lost forever.

Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch, who invented synthetic fertilizers, are at the top of this list. Our colleague Hannah Ritchie wrote an article about the difference their work has made: ourworldindata.org/how-many-peo...

I like how Michael Levin gives talks like he just traveled from the year 2040 and has to impart as much information as possible before he’s yoinked back into the future

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?
