As GFI's @emmaiggie.bsky.social explains, Avian flu outbreaks like the one we're experiencing now are not a fluke — they're a recurring problem that is unlikely to stop until we diversify our protein supply with new, animal-free methods of production. Learn more: www.fooddive.com/news/eggs-bi...
Bird flu is a recurring risk. It’s time food companies planned for it.
As egg prices remain volatile, businesses should think about embracing alternatives to the protein, writes Emma Ignaszewski of the Good Food Institute.

This seems bad. Over time, what people have assumed was the physical limit of human heat tolerance keeps going down. It used to be thought it was a wet-bulb of 35C, now it seems it's more like 32C for resting humans and 27C for people doing minimal physical activity.

www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Abstract
Recent projections suggest that large geographical areas will soon experience heat and humidity exceeding limits for human thermoregulation. The survivability limits modeled in that research were based on laboratory studies suggesting that humans cannot effectively thermoregulate in wet bulb temperatures (Twb) above 26 to 31 °C, values considerably lower than the widely publicized theoretical threshold of 35 °C. The newly proposed empirical limits were derived from the Twb corresponding to the core temperature inflection point in participants exposed to stepped increases in air temperature or relative humidity in a climate-controlled chamber. Despite the increasing use of these thermal-step protocols, their validity has not been established. We used a humidity-step protocol to estimate the Twb threshold for core temperature inflection in 12 volunteers. To determine whether this threshold truly demarcates the Twb above which thermoregulation is impossible, each participant was subsequently exposed to Twb above (~33.7 °C, Tabove) and below (~30.9 °C, Tbelow) their respective inflection point (~32.3 °C, Twb) for up to 9 h (in random order). Core temperature rose continuously in Tabove. It was projected that core temperatures associated with heat stroke (40.2 °C) would occur within 10 h. While Tbelow was also uncompensable, the core temperature rate of rise was considerably lower than in Tabove such that it would take >24 h to reach 40.2 °C. Our study supports thermal-step protocols as an effective technique for evaluating survivability limits for heat exposure and provides a direct assessment of the limits of human thermoregulation.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

LinkedInfluencers are posting about how AI image generation can lead to false receipts. But no-one is talking about the real problem: how AI can create fake LinkedIn posts about these receipts. Will AI replace LinkedIn influencers? 🤔

Climate economists: Does any economist think that economic model estimates of good enough that they should guide our policy response? e.g., "economic models predict GDP declines of a few percent in 2100 from 3C of warming, so we don't need to work hard to avoid this."

Volgens mij kan dat zijn omdat nieuwe gebruikers denken dat hun contacten niet op Signal zitten omdat ze geen actieve gesprekken hebben. Iets van een nudge om het "nieuw bericht"-scherm te openen help vast met retentie! (2/2)

Songfestival-inzending Claude nu officieel gepresenteerd, ook videoclip bekend
Songfestival-inzending Claude nu officieel gepresenteerd, ook videoclip bekend
Songfestivalfans hebben Cest la vie van Claude al talloze keren kunnen beluisteren, maar nu is ook de videoclip gepresenteerd. Gisteren lekte de Songfestivalinzending uit, een dag voor de officile presentatie. Cest la vie, zei Claude daarover.ppIn Cest la vie zingt de 21jarige Claude in het Engels en Frans. Eind vorig jaar maakte hij in de talkshow Eva al bekend dat het nummer tweetalig zou zijn. Toen vertelde hij nog niet in welke twee talen hij ging zingen. Doorgaans doet hij het in het Frans en het Nederlands.ppAan tafel bij Jinek vertelde de zanger ook dat hij het nummer op 6 november schreef. Hij liet bij een concert in Paradiso al doorschemeren dat het over moeders in het algemeen gaat.ppHet Songfestivalnummer van Claude begint als een ballad om vervolgens in een dansbaar popnummer te veranderen. Het liedje blijft door het tientallen malen herhaalde lalala ook hangen bij mensen die geen Engels of Frans verstaan.ppDit is de officile videoclip van Cest la vie: ppClaude brak in 2022 door met Ladada Mon dernier mot. Vorig jaar werd hij door omroep AVROTROS gekozen uit ruim 300 inzendingen. In 2023 maakte de zanger een EngelsFranse versie van Ladada.ppDe Nederlandse zanger van Congolese afkomst staat op dinsdag 13 mei in Basel in de eerste halve finale van het Songfestival. De finale is op zaterdag 17 mei. Zwitserland mag het muziekevenement organiseren omdat Nemo vorig jaar met The Code het Songfestival won.ph2Geen aangifteh2pGisteren lekte het nummer van Claude aan het begin van de middag uit op sociale media. We onderzoeken natuurlijk of we kunnen achterhalen waar het lek vandaan komt, zei een woordvoerder van omroep AVROTROS. Maar het is lastig. We weten dat het eerder is gebeurd met andere landen.p

The blood that Elon Musk and his DOGE-cronies have on their hands because of the PEPFAR Funding Suspension.

200.000+ people not getting their daily HIV medication.

15.000+ deaths and counting.
soemanozeijlmans.eu
Meanwhile, the actual EA community is fuming about the PEPFAR cuts and has set up an emergency fund to continue coverage.

Elon is a just a loser who likes to act quirky. He found EA cool once because of the tech nerds but ultimately found out that nazism is a much better fit for him.

i think "an effective altruist is personally denying twenty million people their HIV medications despite a court order telling him to send the money" is a pretty good summary of effective altruism as a real world philosophy

every ea hates musk man cmon what kind of strawman is this?

Hard to be an effective altruist if you're not an altruist to begin with
