A conversation about climate adaptation, recorded in Zurich at the peak of this summer’s heatwave. Our co-founder Stephan Heuel joined Lisa Stähli and Helen Droz on Hello 50:50 World to talk about how data, modeling and people from very different fields can work together on adaptation. Really fun episode to listen to, thanks to Lisa for the invitation.

If It’s Electronic Paper, Why Not Print To It?E-ink is supposed to be the electronic version of dead-tree paper, but there’s one enormous difference: how you get your images and text onto it. For paper, you print on it. E-ink? Well, it depends on what it’s hooked up to. If it’s an ESP32C3-based Xteink X4 and X3, then you can just print to that, too, thanks to [Nishant Joshi]’s fork of the popular CrossPoint firmware.The fork implements the Internet Printer Protocol, IPP, on the ESP32-C3.

If I get the suspicion that someone is slopping a #curl PR, I ask questions.If they answer as human and explain their thoughts, this is fine. They used the LLM as a tool, but they are in charge of it. We review, they improve until it‘s accepted.If their answer is likely from an LLM itself, we are dealing with a meatproxy („Apologies…“ etc). The chances of this PR landing become practically zero. But I look at the idea behind the PR: was there one? Is it maybe worth doing in another way?

The video argues that while AI is marketed as an efficient tool for creators, it is fundamentally detrimental to the creative process by removing essential struggles and iterations. Creative value and originality are derived from the process-including research, iteration, and problem-solving-rather than just the final product or initial idea. Historical examples such as the collaborative song-writing of The Beatles, the evolving work of Leonardo da Vinci on the Mona Lisa, and the fluid script development of the film Casablanca illustrate how the creative journey shapes the final result. The use of AI-driven shortcuts-often signaled by a 'sparkle icon'-can create a …
