“Gas prices? What gas prices?”

Even without insane and illegal wars, the thing about any dependency, including car dependency, is that once you’re dependent, they can do whatever they want with the prices.

Carbon and water footprints of AI technology, Alex de Vries-Gao

Analysis of the environmental disclosures of big tech to infer the footprints of data centres

"Because the environmental impact of data centers is growing rapidly, the urgency for transparency in the tech sector is also increasing. The carbon footprint of AI systems alone could be between 32.6 and 79.7 million tCO2 emissions in 2025 [...] in the range of the carbon footprint of NYC"

The carbon and water footprints of data centers and what this could mean for artificial intelligence

Company-wide metrics from the environmental disclosure of data center operators suggest that AI systems may have a carbon footprint equivalent to that of New York City in 2025, while their water footprint could be in the range of the global annual consumption of bottled water. Further disclosures from data center operators are urgently required to improve the accuracy of these estimates and to responsibly manage the growing environmental impact of AI systems.

Nad brzegiem Wisły, w dawnej kopalni fosforytów w Annopolu zespół badaczy UW odsłonił ukryty w skale przekrój czaszki morskiego drapieżnika sprzed około 95 milionów lat...
Szacuje się, że osobnik mógł mieć około 7 metrów długości i wagę między 3 a 5 ton. Jego masywne, tępe zęby o głęboko osadzonych korzeniach wskazują na drapieżnika przystosowanego do rozgryzania dużych, twardych ofiar.

Rybojaszczur z Annopola. Niezwykłe odkrycie paleontologów z UW - Serwis Naukowy UW

Badacze z Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego zidentyfikowali morskiego potwora. Rządził wodami na obszarze dzisiejszych Gór Świętokrzyskich, gdy po lądzie wciąż chodziły dinozaury. Pozostałości jego czaszki, ukryte w skale od prawie stu milionów lat, mogą zmienić naszą wiedzę o ostatnich dniach ichtiozaurów – i podpowiedzieć, czy mieszkańcom współczesnych oceanów grozi podobny scenariusz.

Vanishing Point. This railway carries all coal meant for one Warsaw's two main power plants. 40 cars in a row, 60 tonnes each. Usually 2 trains a day. Wow. That's what we breath now.

Now that the #Russia army has taken a beating, its military analysts are no longer convinced that Russia really needs all these ‘new territories’ that badly. And the previously irrefutable argument that “we’ve enshrined them in the constitution” has somehow disappeared from the agenda too 🤔 Original with commentary by Denis Kazansky in Russian, subtitles in Polish and English.

Nobody Wants to Buy The Future: Why Science Fiction Literature is Vanishing

"We are living in the world John Brunner predicted in Stand on Zanzibar and The Sheep Look Up—one of corporate dominance, political instability and environmental collapse. We are, all of us, in the Torment Nexus. So why would we want to read what future horrors Silicon Valley merchants of human misery are trying to produce next."
