A new study modeling six of history’s deadliest heatwaves found that conditions had already crossed the threshold for human survival, and every single one of those events stayed below the wet bulb temperature long treated as the line between danger and death

For roughly two decades, a single number has anchored scientific and policy discussions about the upper limits of human heat tolerance: 35 degrees Celsius on the wet-bulb thermometer. Above this threshold, the theory holds, the body’s primary cooling mechanism — the evaporation of sweat from the skin — becomes physically incapable of removing heat fast ... Read more

The Debate About Chinese Open-Source AI; Ellison’s Bad Day

How protectionist is the Trump administration? Sure, President Donald Trump loves tariffs. But does he really want to drive up AI costs for U.S. business by banning Chinese open-source AI? Chatter about that is growing in the wake of a story we published on Saturday, which revealed that the administration had discussed the idea of banning open source last year. Axios, meanwhile, reported on Monday that last week’s release of...

New Orleans Cops Published Policy Document Allowing Weaponized Drones

A draft New Orleans Police Department drone manual briefly published online would have allowed police drones to carry weapons with written approval from the superintendent, according to 404 Media.

Longtime Web-Weirdness Site Fark Faces Ad Pinch

sandbagger writes: Fark.com is ancient in internet terms. It's not social media. It's not quite a news site.

Psychology says the most resilient people aren’t the ones who bounce back fast or stay positive through everything — they’re the ones who let themselves fall apart quietly on a Tuesday evening and still get up on Wednesday morning and do what needs to be done

Resilience is often misread as speed. The person who seems strongest is assumed to be the one who recovers fastest, stays calmest, smiles soonest, and returns to normal before anyone has had time to notice the damage. That is a narrow version of resilience. It rewards performance, not recovery. It notices composure, not cost. The ... Read more Read more

Adults with no close friends are not necessarily incapable of intimacy — attachment research suggests some have learned to manage its risks by limiting disclosure, dependence and closeness, keeping people distant enough that rejection feels less dangerous

An adult can be personable, attentive and capable of affection while still having nobody they would call a close friend. That absence is often read as evidence of poor social skills or a lack of interest in other people. Sometimes it may be. In other cases, the more useful question is not whether the person ...

US plant-based food sales fell 2% in 2024 after years of double-digit growth, and the shoppers walking away aren't skeptics — they're the committed vegans who built the category. Cognitive dissonance, ingredient labels, and a purity war inside the movement help explain why. Read more

Wearing the same excellent coat for fifteen years isn't frugality — it's a quiet psychological strategy. When possessions are few and cared for, they accumulate a kind of dignity that a full closet, with all its churn and optionality, structurally cannot produce. Read more
