#ClimateDiary “Above is a fictional weather forecast for August 18, 2050, broadcast by French television in 2014, intended to warn against the disastrous consequences of global warming.
Below is the weather forecast for June 22, 2026.”
(By @jakubwiech on unmentionable)
This brings out super starkly how #ClimateChange has accelerated so much more quickly than we thought even just 12 years ago.
honestly i welcome the data center lobby just openly saying climate goals needed to be trashed so the tech industry can build ai — intense heat waves, record forest fires, worsening natural disasters be damned

> Hundreds of millions of Pokémon Go players spent years filming the streets, parks, and buildings around them to earn in-game rewards.

What's the lowest-power #RISCV #microcontroller ?
I'm planning to use the low-power core of ESP32-C6 for #jazda (no less than 7µA), but I'm sure there are cores that go lower than that.
Also, I'm running out of I/O pins on the -C6 and I might need to augment it with a "south bridge"...

Online gambling outfit Polymarket gets caught paying online "creators" to promote fake bet "winnings" in their feeds.
Great reporting from the WSJ, whose parent company is in business with Polymarket (which has ties with Trump family). At least the newsroom isn't corrupt.
Alan Greenspan, who died today at 100, spent his post-crash years trying to salvage the same laissez-faire faith that helped bring the economy to ruin.
Chris Lehmann’s 2013 review cut through the comeback tour and the excuses about markets, human nature and “geopolitical events.”
California legislators are considering a dangerous bill that would undermine public records access and allow requesters to be sued.

We do not want to clean up slop! We are tired of it already! Millennium bug was an honest oversight and of course COBOL programmers were happy to pause their retirement and fix it.
