AI's Electricity Use Is Spiking So Fast It'll Soon Use as Much Power as an Entire Country

Alex de Vries, a data scientist at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, found that AI companies could soon use as much power as a country worldwide.

I går undrade jag varför Cykelfrämjandet inte reagerat och yttrat sig vad gäller försämringar för cykeltrafiken i Nya Slussen – landets i särklass största cykelknutpunkt.
Jag fick då veta att Cykelfrämjandet hade inte tid.
Här är några förslag hur Cykelfrämjandet kan få lite tid för stora och viktiga cykelprojekt runt om i landet.

Cykelfrämjandet har inte tid – det blev det svar jag fick när jag efterfrågade ett livstecken från Cykelfrämjandet vad gäller försämringarna av landets största cykelknutpunkt Nya Slussen. Även media ställde sig frågande till bristen på kommentarer från Cykelfrämjandet: ”men av någon anledning är det hopplöst svårt att få en kommentar från dem.” Svaret från Cykelfrämjandet

Never forget, if you plan cities for cars and traffic, you get cars and traffic. If you plan cities for people and places, you get people and places.

Plan for the city you want.

Any pundit who is criticizing Pres. Zelenskyy's attire is failing to read the room, but moreover, they're just completely missing the point.

A country and its leader under immediate and existential threats have no time for suits and neckties.

He has no visible rank or medals or nametapes or epaulets or brass buttons or starched creases. He's wearing what women and men who are fighting on the frontlines in Ukraine are wearing.

He's wearing the urgency of the moment.

That's the point.

That Emi Martinez save in the 123rd minute saved Argentina and got them to PKs.

Toronto's curbside patios made 49 times more money than the parking they replaced.

“This is an example of how productive a place can be when we don’t fixate on parking"

“The key is to think of the street not as inherently being a space to park or drive cars, but as public space that can be purposed for any sort of public activity"

Toronto’s Curbside Patios Made 49 Times More Money Than the Parking They Replaced

A recent study on curbside dining in Toronto found that there are loads of financial possibilities waiting in empty parking spaces.

For context, this is one of my favorite climate graphs, showing 800,000 years of atmospheric CO2, including the massive run-up over the past century. We're now around 420 parts per million (ppm), more than anytime in 800,000 years (actually more than anytime in the past 5 million years) and completely outside the natural ups and downs in the record. This is the driver of the current #climate crisis.
