Researchers: during the 12-day Iran-Israel war, both sides engaged in unprecedented psychological warfare using AI content and social media to spread propaganda (New York Times)

Vulnerability of electrical systems to total blackouts is not just a result of high penetration of renewables. The opposite applies in La Palma, Canarias, as in Cuba, when old thermal power plants fail. In La Palma, renewables have the lowest share (11%) of all Spain's islands.

O me! what eyes hath Love put in my head,
Which have no correspondence with true sight;
Or, if they have, where is my judgment fled,
That censures falsely what they see aright?
If that be fair whereon my false eyes dote,
What means the world to say it is not so?
If it be not, then love doth well denote
Love's eye is not so true as all men's: no,
How can it? O! how can Love's eye be true,

Quite extensive writeup on the whole W/X situation, the title suggesting too political of a discussion - I do recommend reading through it, neglecting stances, and just seeing where the projects stand.
To be clear, I do not endorse or judge anything here. It helps getting an overview. In the end, there are too many aspects, and deciding for either solution requires you to consider your personal preferences and priorities.

Die 62-jährige Frau und der 58-jährige Mann waren im Bereich der Gleise unterwegs, hatten eines ihrer E-Bikes dort sogar abgestellt. Der heranfahrende Zug musste eine Gefahrenbremsung machen. Den beiden Radfahrern war offenbar nicht bewusst, dass ihr Handeln ein Problem darstellt. Nach dem Stopp haben sie dann den Triebfahrzeugführer nach dem Weg gefragt."

Let's dive into the universe's ultimate speed limit: the speed of light. It's a concept so fundamental that it underpins much of modern physics, yet so mind-bogglingly fast that, as you say, human intuition struggles to truly grasp it. We call it 'c', and its value in a vacuum is precisely 299,792,458 meters per second. That's not just an estimate; since 1983, the meter has been precisely defin…

Warning for anyone scared of spiders or the Titanic wreck!
Spiders used to terrify me so much I couldn’t even sleep. I overcame it by doing what they call exposure therapy, just googling spiders and looking at pictures until it felt less scary. Now, I actually want to own a tarantula as a pet, which is kind of funny.
Something I’m even more scared of is the Titanic wreckage. It’s a oddly specific weird fear, but I think it’s a specific kind of Submechanophobia, where the fear is …
