Devastating review of the degrowth literature (561 studies):
- 'few studies use quantitative or qualitative data...' - [those that do] 'tend to include small samples or focus on non-representative cases' - 'large majority (almost 90%) are opinions rather than analysis'
It astonishes me that people expected LLMs to be good at creating summaries. LLMs are good at transforms that have the same shape as ones that appear in their training data. They're fairly good, for example, at generating comments from code because code follows common structures and naming conventions that are mirrored in the comments (with totally different shapes of text).
In contrast, summarisation is tightly coupled to meaning. Summarisation is not just about making text shorter, it's about discarding things that don't contribute to the overall point and combining related things. This is a problem that requires understanding the material, because it's all about making value judgements.
So, it's totally unsurprising that the Australian study showed that it's useless. It's no surprise that both Microsoft and Apple's email summarisation tools discard the obvious phishing markers and summarise phishing scams as '{important thing happened}, click on this link' because they don't actually understand anything in the text that they're discarding, they just mark it as low entropy and discard it.

En la#Audiofoto de hoy nos vamos de viaje a Milán. Suenan las campanas, muy probablemente de su catedral. ¿A qué os recuerda la melodía? Y no se vale mirar en la descripción, o al menos antes de escuchar, que ahí yo pongo a lo que a mí me recuerda.😉 #Milan, #Soundscape, #Bells, #Campanas
And I thought "wait, didn't @mntmn's MNT Reform have a great Operator Handbook"? So I went and looked it up, and damn! It's even better than I thought.

Das Lesen des Tatherganges im Urteil – schon vom 20.6.2024 – erzeugte bei mir ein Geschmäckle nach versuchten "Ehrenmord" und dass die Anstifter und wahren Täter unbehelligt bleiben!
🔎 POLITICOEurope published a new report on how European Paliament President Metsola is not exactly leading by example when it comes to the relationship with her lobbyist husband Ukko Metsola
Even though a new code of ethics requires senior MEPs to declare conflicts of interest, including those involving their family, European Paliament President Metsola didn't declare her top EU lobbyist husband ‼️
Ukko Metsola works, in fact, for major corporate polluter Royal Caribbean Group.
¿A qué se debe que aún no podamos acceder a los datos de todo el país?
Según el organismo competente del @mitecogob consolidar los datos es un "proceso complejo y largo".
El Tribunal de Cuentas lo achaca a la mala coordinación entre comunidades autónomas y Ministerio.
El resultado es que encontrarás datos de 2017 y 2018 para 28 provincias, los fuegos de 2019 en 20 regiones más, los incendios de 2020 en 11 territorios y los de 2021 en Badajoz, Córdoba, Granada y Soria.
Con los datos en la mano podemos contarte que entre 1983 y 2016 ha habido más de medio millón de incendios que han arrasado una superficie como la de Aragón y Cantabria juntas.
Galicia es la comunidad autónoma con más incendios y más superficie calcinada. Aquí te damos los detalles⤵️
