Virginia Ogilvy, Confidante to Queen Elizabeth II, Dies at 91
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=58639&nl=daily]
Lady Ogilvy was something of a first among equals in the ranks of the
ladies-in-waiting, with the official title of Lady of the Bedchamber.
She and the queen were by all accounts quite close; the queen even
joined Lady Ogilvy at her 70th birthday party, at Annabel’s, a
members-only nightclub in London, an event celebrated in the British
news media as the only time the queen went clubbing.

Einstein's Other Theory of Everything
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=58639&nl=daily]
Einstein finished his masterwork, the theory of general relativity, in
1915. He was 37 years old and would live for another 40 years. He
spent these decades in the attempt to explain that
everything—matter, energy, and even ourselves—were simply
deformations of spacetime.

Clean energy's next trillion-dollar business - The Economist (No
paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=58639&nl=daily]
Decarbonising the world’s electricity supply will take more than
solar panels and wind turbines, which rely on sunshine and a steady
breeze to generate power. Grid-scale storage offers a solution to this
intermittency problem, but there is too little of it about. The
International Energy Agency (IEA), an official forecaster, reckons
that the global installed capacity of battery storage will need to
rise from less than 200 gigawatts (GW) last year to more than a
terawatt (TW) by the end of the decade, and nearly 5TW by 2050, if the
world is to stay on course for net-zero emissions (see chart 1).
Fortunately, though, the business of storing energy on the grid is at
last being turbocharged.

How to Explain Job Hopping in an Interview - Harvard Business Review
(No paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=58639&nl=daily]
As job hopping becomes more common and less stigmatized, why do some
hiring managers (and media outlets) still perpetuate the stereotype
that millennial and Gen Z workers are disloyal to their organizations?
When we look closely at the motivators behind job hopping, there are
several factors to consider — beyond disloyalty. Since the pandemic,
work-life balance, mental health, flexibility, and competitive
salaries are top-of mind for young workers. If you’re one of the
many job hoppers struggling to explain the multiple roles you’ve
held in the past, there are a few ways to approach this predicament.
Should a potential employer ask about the “job hopping” areas of
your resume, try to think of it as an opportunity. It’s a chance to
help your interviewer better understand your motivations while
highlighting what you’re looking for long term.

We're finally solving the puzzle of how clouds will affect our climate

One of the rare places in New York City where you can get a good view
of clouds is the Central Park reservoir. Looking north from its edge,
a gap between the buildings is wide enough to see them roll in from
the harbour. This is where climate scientist Kara Lamb suggests we

Brazilian Supreme Court Panel Upholds Order to Block Elon Musk's X

The vote gives the ban firmer legal standing, but it is likely to
still head to the full court for a vote by all 11 justices. The court
sometimes uses such panel votes to get a swifter review of important
orders issued by single justices. Justice Moraes was one of the five
justices on the panel that voted Monday.

In my career as a psychologist, I have talked with hundreds of people

Scientists Make 'Cyborg Worms' with a Brain Guided by AI - Scientific
American (No paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=58639&nl=daily]
Scientists have given artificial intelligence a direct line into the
nervous systems of millimeter-long worms, letting it guide the
creatures to a tasty target—and demonstrating intriguing brain-AI
collaboration. They trained the AI with a methodology called
deep-reinforcement learning; the same is used to help AI players learn
to master games such as Go. An artificial neural network, software
roughly modeled on biological brains, analyzes strings of actions and
outcomes, extracting strategies for an AI “agent” to interact with
its environment and achieve a goal.

Do Celebrity Presidential Endorsements Matter? - The New Yorker (No

Republicans and Democrats have long fought over the Black vote, the
evangelical vote, and the middle-class vote. But recently they’ve
been warring over the Swiftie vote. A few weeks ago, on Truth Social,
Donald Trump shared a series of images: a crowd of young women wearing
“Swifties for Trump” T-shirts, and Taylor Swift dressed up as
Uncle Sam, with the slogan “Taylor Wants You to Vote for Donald
Trump.” These pictures were generated by A.I., but Trump captioned
the post as if they were an official endorsement: “I accept!”
Then, last week, more than thirty-four thousand people joined a
“Swifties for Kamala” organizing call. Senator Ed Markey said that
his favorite Swift song is “Snow on the Beach,” because it
emphasizes the threat of climate change. (In fact, the lyrics describe
such snow as “fuckin’ beautiful.”)

The telephone, officially called the Deep Underground Neutrino

beneath American soil in history. It has taken a decade to reach this
point and may need another decade before it begins its work. If all
goes well, it will turn the squirrelly neutrino into a known quantity,
filling a major gap in scientists’ understanding of the universe
and, perhaps, return the United States to its former position at the
center of particle physics.

That said, the Times notes that “there’s no way to use math or
