If you were far away from the Earth, on a line that goes through the centers of the Sun and the Earth, here's the sunlit half of the Earth you would be seeing during the June and December solstices. Two very different views of Earth!

🚨 new paper alert🚨
How to include freshwater fluxes from ice sheets in #ClimateModels - and kicking off the #FediWriMo #AcWriMo25 conversation...
(But also an excuse to try the new quote post functionality)
November snowfall trend over the past 50 years in and around Alaska. Big increases North Slope and Brooks Range due to loss of sea ice/more open water in adjacent oceans. Less snow widely on and near Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska coasts reflect warming oceans. Increases inland due to higher moisture content in the area with temps still plenty cold enough for snow.

If, like me, you are not an AI expert but are curious about it, this interview with Joëlle Pineau is fun to watch and listen to.
L'informatique quantique, basée sur la contre-intuitive mécanique quantique, diffère profondément de l'informatique classique.
Tania Belabbas, de l'Institut quantique - Université de Sherbrooke, fait appel aux mathématiques pour nous expliquer le fameux qubit.

"Climate change made the ocean temperatures along Melissa's path 500 to 900 times more likely."

Trump imposes an additional 10% tariff on Canada in retaliation to an ad he didn't like. The ad, paid for by the province of Ontario, quoted former Republican President Ronald Reagan who took a position against tariffs.
Not only can #preprints be cited, citations to preprints are growing. Using the literature on #AI policy for a case study, these authors found that citations of preprints increased 8x over the last decade, from 5% to 40%.

This study of literature focusing on 'AI Policy' over the past decade, found that citations of preprints, publications on platforms such as arXiv, have increased from five percent to forty percent across three major regions: the U.S., U.K. & E.U., and South Korea. We compare regional responses of preprint citations across the global disruptions of COVID-19 and the release of ChatGPT. We discuss driving factors and risks of preprint normalization, which follows the trend in computer science.
