  1. My 30 Day Map challenge didn't really survive beyond the first week - too much overwhelm in the day job, but that's ok, I hadn't really expected it to. But the first half of this week is the culmination of #AcWriMo's efforts to pay myself first - the #PRECISE writing week (3 days actually) intended to finalise some papers.

  2. #Actuaries have issued a call for more #precise #climate #risk #assessments, highlighting the concept of the “🔹risk of ruin🔹,” which refers to a critical juncture beyond which global society might be unable to adapt to the ramifications of climate change.

    A collaboration between the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries ( #IFoA ) and the University of Exeter has resulted in a report titled
    💥“Climate Scorpion: the sting is in the tail,” 💥which makes a case for employing risk management strategies traditionally used in financial services to evaluate and convey the risks associated with climate change.

    The report advocates for the consideration of “worst-case” scenarios regarding climate change. It also issued a warning that the pace of global warming could be #accelerating, with the likelihood it could surpass the 1.5°C target becoming increasingly plausible.
    This could lead to several tipping points, including the #collapse of the #Greenland #ice #sheets, which could have long-lasting consequences.
    Unexpected sensitivity to climate change is also a concern, as what is often described as a “#tail-#risk” might have a higher probability of resulting in significant temperature increases.
    Methodologies are also now suggesting that a doubling of #greenhouse #gas concentrations could lead to #temperature rises of 7°C or more.

    @Corvus You can. There are several different ways to configure the wake word. You can use a predefined model, you can define a new wake word using phonemes and , or you can even train your own model using 's Precise software. It's open source and provides the best accuracy. is based on a neural network that is trained on sound patterns rather than word patterns. It does take a lot more work though.
