There is interesting debate about whether, and how much, LLMs were used to write parts of this encyclical. Generally encyclicals are written by a group of Cardinals and/or Bishops, with significant input from the Pope, so it seems poss

I am not sure why Reddit was excluded, but the implied reason for the view I outlined in my comment is not about preferential treatment for one of the mainstream media firms so much as about a tool to drive a return in advertising dollars t

I am not the parent, but there is a view that this was, alongside the earlier News Media Bargaining Code in 2021, the under-16s ban legislation was at least partially motivated by an interest in benefitting the legacy or mainstream media in

I agree that it has been left to the reader to infer, but then again this is not really a how-to guide! And he gestures at the need for this at least once. To be able to balance expressiveness and reticence, or to know when to cast that

This is a beautifully designed website. But I also think it's quite... problematic that the child's journey begins with the egg, as if the unfertilized egg is the child — and skips any mention of the sperm and the father. It feels

This article is mostly based on NBER working paper 34836, which was published this month, and the data was collected from September 2025 to January 2026[0] [0]: See page 2: https://www.nber.org/system/files/working

I'm skeptical that it's easier. On the numbers alone, artisanal and small scale gold mining (apparently) accounts for 15-20% of global gold production. But coal accounts for 35% of total electricity generation.

Yes, and the reasons are outlined by the Australian Electoral Commission, the independent body that runs Australian elections (see the first FAQ)[0]. There are scrutineers that watch counting happen at the booth once polls close, and who al

I wonder if what you're experiencing is something called "ripple control" (in Australia). Distribution companies send 10-40V signals through the system at much higher frequencies than the normal 50/60Hz of AC systems (75

I posted this because I thought HN would find it interesting, and agree that the methodology is a little thin on the ground. Having said that, they have another page (a little hard to find) on the methodology here[0] and a methodology FAQ p

This article (as it makes clear) owes it's analysis at least largely to what Tufte has written about the Challenger disaster (1986) and Columbia Disaster (2003). He wrote about the Columbia one more fully in the second edition of The C

For what it's worth, this is still quite loaded, and I think it's far more helpful to drop the stuff about lies and protection of loved ones and simply say: It's good to weaken or strengthen your views based on the evidence g

For any others reading this, the _illiteracy_ rate is 23.1% in California according to the parent's source. This is indeed the highest illiteracy rate in the US thought. Having said that, I would have thought this was partially a measu

Neat website, and lovely to use. I wonder if the test needs to be slightly more sophisticated? My results seem to depend on whether the starting colour is blue or green. If it starts with blue I will categorise more of the turquoise as blue

Is there a good reason to exclude abductive reasoning from an analysis like this? It's even considered by at least one of the referenced papers (Fangzhi 2023a). Abductive reasoning is common in day-to-day life. It seeks the best explan

If people are interested in pumped hydro, Andrew Blakers et. al. from ANU have put together a global atlas of potential pumped hydro sites. They've got greenfield, brownfield, etc. https://re100.eng.anu.edu.au/pumped_hy

@dang it would be good to link to the student's original website with RCA rather than this reproduction on Core 77. The article at Core 77 is almost entirely copy-pasted, and doesn't add any value. Original: https://202

The short answer is that pumped hydro is mature technology with a pretty wide range of places it can be implemented (at least in Australia[0], which has a mountain range going down the east coast where everyone lives). A-CAES has three adva

It's a night and day difference, because the credit system is only related to your ability to repay debts. It is neutral to, and cannot be easily and directly cooped for Government control of personal behaviour, morality, and relations
