🇺🇸🗽 Art Historian Protests Restoration of Louisville Monument Graffitied in 2020: ‘Our City Is Hostile to Anti-Police Protests’

An art historian who chaired Louisville’s public art commission said he would leave his post amid plans to restore a statue of King Louis XVI graffitied by protestors in 2020 following the police killing of Breonna Taylor.

In an op-ed published in the Courier-Journal, Chris Reitz, a scholar who has published two books on painter Martin Kippenberger, accused the city of Louisville, Kentucky, of attempting to “erase all evidence” of those 2020 protests on their five-year anniversary. He raised concerns about the cost of restoring the sculpture, which he described as being “beyond repair,” and questioned the true motivation for paying the sum.

Questions about what to do with the statue have been debated ever since. A 2022 survey found that just 60 percent of Louisville residents thought the statue represented their values. And research commissioned by the city revealed that the sculpture was already structurally damaged before the 2020 protests.

🤖 For Some Recent Graduates, the A.I. Job Apocalypse May Already Be Here

This month, millions of young people will graduate from college and look for work in industries that have little use for their skills, view them as expensive and expendable, and are rapidly phasing out their jobs in favor of artificial intelligence.

That is the troubling conclusion of my conversations over the past several months with economists, corporate executives and young job-seekers, many of whom pointed to an emerging crisis for entry-level workers that appears to be fueled, at least in part, by rapid advances in A.I. capabilities.

You can see hints of this in the economic data. Unemployment for recent college graduates has jumped to an unusually high 5.8 percent in recent months, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York recently warned that the employment situation for these workers had “deteriorated noticeably.” Oxford Economics, a research firm that studies labor markets, found that unemployment for recent graduates was heavily concentrated in technical fields like finance and computer science, where A.I. has made faster gains.

“There are signs that entry-level positions are being displaced by artificial intelligence at higher rates,” the firm wrote in a recent report.

The same IDF that claims it is capable of detecting movement underground says it is "unaware" of the situation, and stated:

» At this time, we are unaware of injuries caused by IDF troops' fire within the distribution site.
» The matter is still under review.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Arnaud Bertrand on X: This is why Trump is angry, as per the WSJ: after the talks in Geneva the U.S. decided to adopt new rules banning the use of Huawei's new AI chips "anywhere in the world" (which, insanely, includes China), which China said "seriously undermined consensus reached at the high-level bilateral talks in Geneva."

In response China is slow-walking approvals for export licenses of rare earths, and US automakers are warning the White House that "auto plants may have to idle in pandemic-style stoppages" as a result.

So no, it isn't Trump being punished "for being Mr Nice Guy"

🇺🇸📚 Blue states tend to do better in K-12 education because they are wealthier and have higher rates of parents with tertiary education.

But if you adjust for those ingrained advantages, blue state performance diminishes, and the south broadly emerges as leaders.

For worse or better, many education reforms undertaken in the past 15 years in blue states have been duds, while the playbook states like Louisiana and Mississippi followed has yielded incredible results.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 China and USA jointly produces desalination system

The new system successfully turns seawater into drinking water thanks to a passive, extremely low-cost device that is inspired by the ocean and powered by the sun.⬇️
-
This system has a higher water-production rate and a higher salt-rejection rate than all other passive solar desalination concepts currently being tested.
-
The configuration of the device allows water to circulate in swirling eddies, in a manner similar to the much larger “thermohaline” circulation of the ocean. This circulation, combined with the sun’s heat, drives water to evaporate, leaving salt behind. The resulting water vapor can then be condensed and collected as pure, drinkable water. In the meantime, the leftover salt continues to circulate through and out of the device, rather than accumulating and clogging the system.
-
Researchers from Shanghai Jiao tong university and MIT both collaborated on this project, estimating that the system is scaled up to the size of a small suitcase, it could produce about 4 to 6 liters of drinking water per hour and last several years before requiring replacement parts.
-
At this scale and performance, the system could produce drinking water at a rate and price that is cheaper than tap water in the USA.
-
Win-Win Cooperation and Mutual Development like this between both China and America will help make the world a better place

🏜🇺🇸🌊 We can Terraform the American West

Casey Handmer: "New blog on desalination. I think solar plus matched desal can get below 10c/m^3, cheap enough that we can put 5 million acre feet into Nevada, terraforming about 1500 miles of valleys and waterways in that state (>90% remains unchanged though) and creating space for tens of millions of people to find wealth and opportunity in the process."

James Stauner: "Mineral and salt extraction. Hypersaline brine often contains valuable minerals like lithium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium. Extracting these elements through selective crystallization or evaporation can reduce the toxicity of the brine while creating revenue streams from the recovered salts. ZLD leaves solid waste that can be more easily disposed of or processed further. We’d use the energy recycled from TPVs in Casey’s proposed distillation apparatus to power this extraction system.

Use integrated Solar Evaporation Ponds with TPVs (I’m a fan of TPVs): Solar ponds or evaporation ponds, designed to concentrate brine further, can be optimized with thermophotovoltaic modules. By positioning TPVs above these ponds, excess heat can be used to generate electricity while accelerating water evaporation. This allows for a more sustainable reduction in brine volume, making it easier to treat or dispose of. This solar pond could dual purpose as a solar farm with PVs for photon energy capture/storage."
