I visited Budapest in the spring of 2024. It is an •incredible• place, not just the awe-inducing history visible everywhere in built environment, but the present: the vibrant life, the artistry and skill everywhere, the rich and varied intersections of cultures, the spirit, the marvelous people I met through seemingly every door I entered.
Sending Hungarians love and strength from Minneapolis today. You are amazing. Your home and your society are worth fighting for.

I wrote https://jws.news/2024/hp-z4-g4-workstation/ two years ago about buying an old workstation off eBay to try running local LLM models. It didn't go as well as I had hoped, but between tariffs, hardware shortages, and my own lack of cash, I think that it is going to be another two years before I get to try again.

A “good year” for forests changes less than it seems
The rate of tropical primary forest loss fell sharply in 2025, reversing the record highs of the year before. On paper, it looks like progress. In reality, the dip is likely only a temporary reprieve. The decline followed an exceptional year for wildfires. In 2024, drought helped drive some of the largest fire-related losses on […]

"What’s ironic is that you have the leader of the Catholic church speaking out against war and against the way that immigrants are being treated. That shows this co-option of the Christian identity by Opus Dei to be a complete fallacy; it’s all for political expediency. It’s about these people’s own deeply authoritarian and conservative views about how the world should be run."
He spent years investigating Opus Dei, a Catholic group accused of a vast conspiracy of abuse. Then…

I have a JPC-12 vertical antenna. On the good side, it puts the coil 4' away from the base, reducing coil losses by not putting it at the point with the highest current. On the other hand, it's stainless steel with significant real resistance, so even that reduced current still heats it up substantially. Some of that heat could instead be radiated RF!
I am considering rewinding the coil with lacquered silver-coated copper wire for substantially-reduced real resistance, as KA7O…

Disappointing growth in EU biomethane production, growing by 'only' 12% from 'gas year' (Oct-Sep) 2023/24 to 2024/2025.
5 years to go to the REpowerEU target of 350 TWh; that would now require a 52% compound annual growth rate.
Tall order, but today's news shows how important it is to accelerate!
