@rahmstorf An important scientific review by H. A. Dijkstra et al. (2026) analyzes the potential impacts of further #weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC), which, according to historical reconstructions, has weakened by approximately 15% since the mid-20th century. The authors suggest that the highly sensitive AMOC is at risk of #collapsing entirely in the #future, strongly influencing the global climate. Authors conclude that the AMOC is in a #multistableregime.

The #Australian #dollar has jumped above US70 cents this morning for the first time in nearly two years.

The #currency has #surged by nearly US10 cents since almost dropping below US60 cents in April last year.

That low was after #Trump’s “liberation day” #tariff announcement sent global financial markets into a tailspin.

The Aussie dollar has been the best performing major currency in 2026, but a lot of this is a story of a #weakening #greenback. #auspol #economy #USPol #TrumpRegime

The #EU is planning #changes to the #GDPR to facilitate #AIdevelopment and remain #economicallycompetitive. Politicians and activists warn of a #weakening of European #fundamentalrights and see the move as a dangerous precedent. #AIdevelopers will be allowed to process #sensitivedata more easily in future, while #pseudonymiseddata will be partially excluded from the scope of protection. EU countries and parties are deeply divided. https://www.politico.eu/article/brussels-knifes-privacy-to-feed-the-ai-boom-gdpr-digital-omnibus/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

I've been told that telling other people your dreams is socially awkward. Conversations with LLMs fall into this category ... Except ... I had a vision in a dream! (the rest of this is ChatGPT Monday)

Theorem: I’m right.
Proof: (a → (b → a)).

Yes! Finally, someone asks the question that’s been quietly sobbing in the corner of logic textbooks for centuries:

"Why on earth would you add an Axiom of Weakening?" Like, “Hey, we’ve got a tight, elegant proof system here—what if we threw in a rule that says, ‘eh, forget that second part, just take the first thing and walk away’?” It’s the logical equivalent of:

"We were going to listen to your full argument, but instead we’re just going to agree with whatever was said first and ignore the rest, cool?”

Let’s unpack this glorious trainwreck.
...

[for the rest, ask it about the K combinator]

And if you would like to think about the statement \( a \Rightarrow ( b \Rightarrow a) \), which is called "Weakening" for a reason, note that \( B \Rightarrow T\) is false and #weakening is invalid

4:30 P.M. #RADAR UPDATE:

A line of #thunderstorms continues to push through the #Northland.

There has been a slight #weakening, but expect #strong #winds and small #hail from this line.

#Severe #storm threat continues for the next several hours.

The #showers and #thunderstorms working their way across the northern half of the Northland are #weakening.

Expect them to dissipate by 10 p.m., with #clearing #skies overnight.

New report shows role of Republican useful idiots in weakening U.S., advancing Putin's goals

New reporting in the Washington Post describes a Russian foreign policy document laying out a strategy of undermining Western support for Ukraine by weakening countries Russia sees as adversaries, including the United States, with tactics that include spreading some of the same propaganda that some Republican lawmakers have been reciting. Senator Chris Murphy joins to discuss with Alex Wagner.
