Found on the orange site, I kind of unironically love this, and not for the reasons that the creators probably intend. They see a LLM trained on pre-1913 data as a window into the past; I see it as Exhibit One in showing that for all the talk of an AI future, a LLM trained on pre-2025 data is precisely (or at least effectively) the same thing. https://github.com/DGoettlich/history-llms

🌕 歷史大型語言模型計畫資訊中心
➤ 透過時間鎖定的歷史數據，重塑大型語言模型的研究範式
✤ https://github.com/DGoettlich/history-llms
DGoettlich/history-llms GitHub 儲存庫是一個資訊中心，專門為訓練規模最大化的歷史大型語言模型 (LLM) 所設計。此專案的核心目標是建立能夠反映特定歷史時期知識的 LLM，以利於人文學科、社會科學和電腦科學的研究。該專案已宣佈即將推出 Ranke-4B 系列模型，這是一組基於 Qwen3 架構、參數量為 40 億的模型，並從頭開始訓練，使用了涵蓋不同歷史知識截止點（1913、1929、1933、1939、1946 年）的 800 億個 token 的歷史數據，並以 6000 億個 token 的時間戳記文本進行微調。儲存庫中也提供了 1913 年模型的範例輸出，展示了模型在回答敏感或歷史爭議性問題時，會呈現訓練資料中的歷史觀點，而非現代的價值判斷，例如關於阿道夫·希特勒、奴隸制度、女性工作權益及同性戀等議題。專案強調其科學應用目標

Helluva good read…

“But what was really happening was that the wealth of the middle class – or ordinary, hard-working families ... and almost all the world’s largest governments – was being sucked away from them and into the hands of the rich.

Ordinary families were losing their assets and going into debt. So were governments. As ordinary families and governments got poorer, and the rich got richer, that would increase flows of interest, rent and profit from the middle class to the rich, compounding the problem.

The problem would not solve itself. In fact, it would accelerate, it would get worse.”

"The crusader crosses of St George, the hair clay and bloviating of GB News and the live-streaming, selfie-gurning, hate-spewing of Tommy Robinson – their spirit is better captured in this last fiction by the late Ballard than in many more recent and more breathless titles clogging up the annual best-of lists."

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/dec/18/sickness-britain-novel-20-years-ago-jg-ballard. JG Ballard was a true prophet - & is insufficiently honoured in his own country. "Kingdom Come" sounds like a must read.

The Conversation: Bird flu warnings are being ignored. I’ve seen this pattern before

#flu #influenza #pandemic #health

There’s an unwritten rule in publishing,
or so I’ve been told:
don’t write about COVID.

Our collective attention span has been saturated by those endless months holed up in attics and cramped corners of apartments, staring out at a world we could no longer take part in.
When the worst of it passed, we felt an urge to close that chapter, to padlock it behind a heavy latch.

But in doing so, we also tuck away the hard-won lessons of that time:
how quickly systems buckle,
how two decades of coronavirus warnings accumulated without adequate preparedness,
and how the very mechanisms we rely on for safety can become the scaffolding of a next disaster.

This matters now as another threat is taking shape:
highly pathogenic avian influenza, known as bird flu.

Bird flu still poses a low‑probability threat of sustained human transmission.
But that doesn’t make the virus harmless.
The H5 viruses are brutally lethal to birds
– 9 million have died outright, and hundreds of millions have been culled to contain the spread.
Alarming is the virus’s expanding reach into mammals.
So far, at least 74 mammal species, from elephant seals to polar bears, have suffered die‑offs.
The individual cases are situated within a broader shift.
Dense poultry farms create opportunities for the virus to hop species.
Over a thousand US dairy herds have tested positive in the past two years,
and viral fragments have even been detected in milk
– a worrying route of spillover.
Every jump is a probe for new footholds.
Europe is seeing a surge too.
From early September to
mid-November 2025,
1,444 infected wild birds were found across 26 countries:
a quadrupling compared with the year before.

Earth’s frozen regions are sending a clear warning about climate change – but politicians are ignoring it
December 18, 2025

https://theconversation.com/earths-frozen-regions-are-sending-a-clear-warning-about-climate-change-but-politicians-are-ignoring-it-270604

Earth’s frozen regions are sending a clear #warning about #climatechange – but politicians are ignoring it

We cannot negotiate with the melting point of ice.” That’s the message from more than 50 leading scientists who study the Earth’s frozen regions, published in the latest annual State of the Cryosphere report.
