Sees optimizing its entire cloud around homebrew silicon as the way to compete Chinese web giant Alibaba has revealed its T-Head chipmaking business has shipped 470,000 AI chips, and admitted they are currently inferior to rival products, but believes it can build a mutually optimized stack that makes performance gaps moot.…

There is a pattern here. The Daily Mail has long demonstrated a preference for dramatic, attention-grabbing headlines that far oversell the actual story. Climate Realism has debunked its false, hyperbolic disaster scenario claims dozens of times. “Doomsday Glacier collapse by 2067” fits that formula perfectly — a bold date, a catastrophic label, and minimal context. That may drive clicks, but it does not accurately reflect the measured data or the scientific uncertainty involved.

From LPUs and GPUs to CPUs and switches, everything you need to know about Nvidia's latest kit GTC DEEP DIVE  At Nvidia’s GTC conference this week, CEO Jensen Huang finally addressed a $20 billion question he’s dodged for months: Why spend so much to license AI chip startup Groq’s tech and hire away its engineers rather than build it themselves?…

Most Ubuntu desktop users will be looking at this until at least 2028 GNOME 50 is here, codenamed Tokyo after the location of the GNOME Asia Summit 2025, and the biggest change is in fact more or less invisible, unless you look for an options button on the login screen.…

Over half a million balsa hardwood trees are being illegally logged in the Amazon rainforest every year to feed the massive demand for wind turbines in many parts of the world. Balsa is a lightweight but strong wood that is commonly used in the core of giant turbine blades. It can make up around 7% of the blade and each set of three can use up to 40 trees.

Vahreholt advocates for a return to nuclear energy (using subsidy billions to build new plants), the use of domestic shale gas, and the continued operation of coal-fired power plants. The move away from nuclear power under Merkel (2011) is described as a historic blunder that has cost around €500 billion to date and led to the current rapid deindustrialization.

Stitch gets voice input and an infinite canvas The term “vibe coding” has become associated with use of AI coding assistants to create code that expresses a developer’s intent, even if the results are ropey and require plenty of extra work to put into production.

Sadly, in Paul Sabin’s account, the main villain turns out to be the morally upstanding Simon who, fifteen years after his death, is blamed for creating policy logjams and fueling uncivil discourse.

Given our current weak position in global mineral markets, shortages of copper, nickel, and neodymium that undermine the entire U.S. energy system may replace the oil embargos of the 1970s as the primary threats to U.S. energy security. Using the ESI to track emerging threats to U.S. energy security - whether from disruptions in global energy markets, interruptions to mineral supply chains, or cyberattacks on U.S. energy infrastructure - offers a practical, effective way forward for managing fut

The crisis also showcases America’s capacity to support allies and the poor. Long‑term LNG contracts with Asian and European partners, coupled with support for reasonable financing of oil and gas projects in developing countries, can reduce dependence on chokepoints like Hormuz and on coercive suppliers. Energy sovereignty for India, Southeast Asia and Africa aligns with U.S. strategic interests and moral stance.

What exactly is AGI? Nobody knows, but Google's AI lab is asking for help trying to define it If a bot actually achieved artificial general intelligence (AGI), how would we even know?

Since the US/Israel began their war – sorry, their “targeted, limited, combat operation” – hard facts have been hard to come by.

The Chicago Tribune failed in its journalistic duty of producing a story grounded in facts. Instead of merely reporting on the danger and human interest aspects of the recent severe storms, they attempted to fearmonger people into believing extreme weather is getting worse due to climate change.

Over the last two decades, the coal industry has ceded much of the battlefield to its opponents and even now seems somewhat complacent about its future. The Trump Administration will be gone three in years. And even while Trump is in office, state regulators and utilities are proceeding to close coal power plants throughout the country — Colorado, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, Washington, on and on. Decisions on these remaining plants will be made over the next several years

What the current crisis proves is simple: Energy security resides in the ability to secure physical molecules – oil, gas, coal and uranium – when geopolitical storms hit. Europe, and much of Asia, chose to anchor their future to slogans instead.

His famous 1968 book, "The Population Bomb," changed the world. He famously predicted that human "overpopulation" would soon outstrip food supplies, leading to catastrophic famines, and societal collapse. He predicted that hundreds of millions of people would starve to death in the 1970s and 1980s, that India would be unable to feed its population by 1980, and that major countries like England would no longer exist by the year 2000.

In the same way that Malthusians were wrong about the constraints on food production, so they’ll prove to be wrong about both the future demand and supply of electricity.

According to Grok, these plug in solar panels start at £600. Does the moron really think people have got that sort of money in their pockets to waste on his green nonsense? Potential annual savings for users are in the tens of pounds.

Refinery closures in California reduce fuel supply resilience on the West Coast, increasing risks to military readiness and national security. Maintaining a stable policy framework that supports continued operation of California refineries is therefore not only an economic and consumer affordability issue, but also a matter of broader national security and national defense.

The trick to seeing knowledgeable behavior is to stop and think. What would the critter have to know, perceive, decide, and do in order to perform this action? Over the years I collected many observations like this which are discussed in the various blog articles. I also discuss how to do it and the general theory of knowledgeable animal behavior.

Carbon dioxide levels in this dataset vary between 170 parts per million (ppm) and 280 ppm. If the level had fallen below 150 ppm, photosynthesis would have stopped and an almost certain mass extinction of land-based life would have occurred. Hatton observes that in 556 centuries of the 800,000-year Vostok database, CO2 was below 190 ppm.

The war in Iran is having the impact that most people with any sense knew it would have: The price of oil is going up, and the supply of oil is going down. Of course, whether or not the latter of these is actually true we will never know, and it’s beside the point. Oil …

The Mars Colony was real, everyone knew that. The actors all knew it because it was in their non-disclosure agreements.

And the costumes. The …
