For those who maybe breeze past it in the article linked, here's an unofficial tool for searching all of the zillions of Kagi bangs: https://kbe.smaertness.net/
They have all the usual, !g for Google, !gi Google Images, !b Bing, !ddg, !brave, etc, plus like a billion niche ones.
Unlike free search where there's definitely no incentive to sell your data to keep the lights on, right?
In a new weekly update for <b>pv magazine</b>, Solcast, a DNV company, analyses a new AI-driven weather model from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).

Yeah, but those systems still don't count votes by "number of shareholders" as indicated above. They're still weighted by number of shares, just some shares have more benefits than others
The class offered to the general public often has limited or no voting rights, while the class available to founders and executives has more voting power and often provides for majority control of the company.
And an easy question to answer - 1% of shares. All businesses weigh shareholder votes by number of shares held.
Of course they didn't. The claims used to drop funding, like all of the administration's spending cuts, were obviously horse shit.
The question is, will the courts have enough of a spine to do anything about it?
The lawyers don't need to submit evidence, because it was never about proving anything, just sowing chaos.
Call me if it's on sale for $10 without rootkit or secondary launcher. Until then, I snooze.
If a trip to the "bougie" Kroger is too much work, tracking down a good source of mungbean and kala namak feels like it's asking a lot :D
Lots of people think naturally grazing cattle is somehow less resource intensive than the alternative.
It's the "yeah, factory farms are bad, but I get all my beef from my made up neighbor who runs a sustainable farm" crowd.
Yes, it absolutely can, it's super easy! Just swap your Minecraft .jar with Paper and it'll do the rest. It's a tiny bit harder to go back, but only marginally.
Out of the box, aside from huge performance benefits, Paper is virtually indistinguishable from vanilla, but it also opens the door to a whole world of easy-to-use server-side plugins.
Edit: (you should still make a backup before swapping, just in case)
In addition to a comically large bill to pay, Saudi Arabia has a pretty significant issue with attracting outside investors / tourism. I'm guessing most people visiting this thread can't name the capital of SA (hint, it's not Dubai... That's not even in the right country)
No one wants to visit because they're actively hostile towards even the slightest imposition on their beliefs. It's hard to justify going somewhere where you could get locked up for what would elsewhere be considered a minor faux pas.
Good luck justifying a $9T vanity project that will only be visited / populated by citizen oil workers, assuming they will even still have jobs in a few decades.
SA needs to undergo some pretty significant cultural shifts before even considering dropping a few trilly on some new digs.
CPU intensive servers like Minecraft are where you start to run into problems with older hardware. If it’s just you on there, a 10 year old CPU is fine, but if you’ve got a few friends, the server may start to struggle to keep up.
Not sure how recently you ran this, or what all your were running, but in the past couple of years Paper has hit some pretty major milestones in unlocking threaded processing. Barring some sort of spammy 0-tick redstone nonsense or over the top plugins, I'd wager a Raspberry Pi 4 could handle up to about 5 or 6 friends without seeing any TPS dips. Its really remarkable how far they've pushed performance recently.
Could I get a larg HDD and ad it in an enclosure to the Mini PC to handle the media volume?
Like an external USB drive? Absolutely.
Honest question, is Switzerland a part of the EU now, or do they just get a pass for being surrounded?
Turn off the lights when 2 people in bed. Turn the lights on really low when only 1 person gets up. Track time you went to bed / time in bed as a low-budget sleep tracker not tied to a big data broker, like a smart watch would be....
Anyone know the path to hitting them with CCPA info/take down requests?
It'll be hot out, but at least your kids can play outside without developing asthma. Agreed this is objectively good news, even in the greater context of more needing to be done
For sure look into the pizza steel.
Stones often crack not because of heat specifically, but because of moisture.
They should really only ever be exposed to moisture once fully heated, and allowed a little extra time after the pizza bakes to dry out before turning the oven off.
A pizza steel will be more resilient, though it can rust if washed regularly without seasoning (just like a cast iron / carbon steel pan)
A big oven safe pan is a good start, the heavier the better.
A lot of people have mentioned getting a pizza stone or steel and cooking at higher temps, and they're 100% right.
I just want to add that steel is definitely the way to go if it's in the budget - specifically, steel has more thermal mass and conducts heat better than stone.
Crust crispness is entirely a function of how much heat you're able to supply to the surface, and when baking in a standard oven (max ~500F) instead of a pizza oven (700+ F), you need all the help you can get - which means steel, preferably at least 1/4" thick.
Sticking with the tools you have, you can try preheating your pan, like you would a stone/steel, before putting the topped pizza on it.
I've definitely been there, but usually because I'm not the one choosing the food. When you're picking you tend to have a little more wiggle room, and people tend to be a little more accepting of free food so you might want to be a little more strategic with how you frame things up.
E.g., instead of "do you want Burger King or McDonald's" try "I'm gonna grab Burger King, do you want anything?" If the team pushes back a simple "unfortunately McD doesn't have any vegan options and I'm starving."
Most people will understand, especially because you clearly eat lunch with them regularly enough they should know you're vegan.
The pizza one is tough but we've all been there before when menu items aren't clearly labeled, but all I can recommend is using Happy Cow to identify restaurants nearby with vegan options, or calling ahead to see if the place you're thinking of has vegan options before offering it as an option to the team.
From bats to moths, species working the night shift are suffering as light pollution soars
Google is making another big push into extended reality with an Android ecosystem spanning virtual reality, mixed reality and augmented reality.
On Wednesday, Google’s DeepMind division announced what may go down as the most significant advancement in weather forcasting in nearly eight decades of work.
Pretty much the only thing I think AI could be useful for - forecasting the weather based off tracking massive amounts of data. I look forward to seeing how this particular field of study is improved.
Bonus points, AI weather modeling, for once, saves energy relative to physics models. Pair it with some sort of light weight physical model to keep the hallucinations at bay, and you've got a good combo.
Solar is surging, but so is humanity’s energy appetite. We need better models.
I'm very interested to see how countries like Pakistan can lead the way in the clean energy revolution out of a necessity for cheap electricity rather than a desire for clean power.
Their electric grid and economy is such that they can optimize around solar rather than trying to force solar to fit into their existing system. Necessity is the mother of invention, and places like Pakistan will probably be able to teach us all a thing or two about how to develop economies around the Sun.
Report calls for course correction to avoid land abuse ‘compromising Earth’s capacity to support human and environmental wellbeing’
>The main culprit, according to the report, is unsustainable agricultural practices, which are responsible for 80% of forest loss. These techniques, which include heavy use of chemical inputs, pesticides and water diversion, also erode soil, diminish water supplies and contaminate ecosystems.

Does changing the shape of the recycling symbol make it any less misleading?
Your friendly reminder that so many plastics aren't recyclable - so glad California is finally pushing back on greenwashing
As Hurricane Milton barrels toward Florida communities still recovering from Helene, many Waffle House locations along the Gulf Coast, including those in Tampa, Cape Coral and St. Petersburg, have closed in preparation.
Our leaders may prefer complexity because it means they can defer taking action – but doing something about emissions reduction or slow wage growth is actually not that complex
A climate modeling downscaling method developed by MIT scientists leverages a machine-learning technique called adversarial learning to produce simulations faster and at finer resolutions, making them relevant to use on local levels for assessing risks of extreme weather.
Interesting application of machine learning to actually reduce computational intensity for once...
Reddit changes the rules to make sitewide protests much more difficult. Moderators will now have to get admin approval when switching a subreddit from public to private or when adding a NSFW tag.
