Tree planting can combat urban heat, but some neighborhoods are falling behind
Sydney communities may be missing out on crucial tree planting projects intended to combat urban heat, leaving western and eastern parts of Greater Sydney with less protection from extreme heat, a University of Sydney-led study has revealed. In a surprising finding, the researchers found that while Greater Sydney's total tree canopy increased by 4.2% from 1.514 billion square meters to 1.578 billion square meters between 2016 and 2022, this growth was not evenly distributed.

Already 6 years old, so not even taking into account post-2022 hyperscaling, this is a sobering, very rational and well argued 20 min presentation for some cold flush reality check of the hot fever dreams of AI proponents (and all YOLO energy/resource guzzlers of any walk/standing):

A few months after handing in my thesis and receiving my Master of Science degree in 2022, ChatGPT was released. Essentially, nothing about how I solve problems has changed since then, but I had to continuously observe the brain drain around me. It's weird how the majority of people suddenly treat anything an LLM spits out as truth while I stick to good old search engines (with the additional hurdle of now having to filter LLM garbage from my search results).

Malaysia lost 20% of its coral reefs in three years
Malaysia’s coral reefs are shrinking at a pace that is hard to ignore. According to the latest national survey by Reef Check Malaysia, about one-fifth of the country’s coral cover has been lost since 2022, a decline compressed into just three years. What had been gradual erosion now looks more like a slide. The 2025 […]

Ein paar Anmerkungen zum Markt für Elektroautos in 2025:
* Tesla schrumpft bereits zum 3. Mal in Folge. Inzwischen werden nur noch knapp 25% der Verkäufe aus 2022 erreicht.
* Nicht Smart war es, den KLeinwagen ForTwo gegen einen SUV auszutauschen.
*Für die Chinesen BYD erfüllen sich alle Träume: sie haben Tesla weltweit und auch in D abgehängt: 700% bei Steckerautos.
* D ist zweitgrößter Produzent von Steckerautos. Warum weiter Verbrenner bauen?

I've locked myself out of my digital life
Imagine… Last night, lightning struck our house and burned it down. I escaped wearing only my nightclothes. In an instant, everything was vaporised. Laptop? Cinders. Phone? Ashes. Home server? A smouldering wreck. Yubikey? A charred chunk of gristle. This presents something of a problem. In order to recover my digital life, I need to be able to log in to things. This means I need to know my u…

Mein Vater war (guter) Kunde im Mitarbeiter-Shop des Unternehmens, bei dem er 2004 nach 35 Jahren Betriebszugehörigkeit in Rente ging. Zuletzt hat er dort 2018 oder 2019 eingekauft, im Januar 2023 ist er verstorben. Ich habe den Shop mehrfach darüber informiert. Kurz vor Weihnachten erneut Werbepost an die Adresse des im Frühjahr 2022 verkauften Elternhauses. Ich überlege jetzt, mal den Datenschutzzuständigen ausfindig zu machen und anzufragen, ob das da alles DSGVO-konform abläuft.
