At the inaugural
"Shield of the Americas” summit in South Florida,
Donald Trump announced the creation of what he calls the
"Americas Counter-Cartel Coalition":
a group of a dozen politically aligned countries committed to fighting drug trafficking.
But as he signed a declaration to cement that commitment,
Trump signalled that it came with expectation that cartels would not be confronted with law enforcement
but instead military actio…

Dutch farmland has a major water quality problem, in part due to the overload of manure ending up in ditches. Turns out that farmers have found a workaround: in just 7 years, they made 30,000 ditches disappear by filling them up, 1/3 of those illegally.

Und nochmal: wenn in einer Gruppe von 7 Leuten in einer Abstimmung 4 dafür stimmen, die anderen 3 in Zukunft als persönliche Sklaven zu halten und sie ihrer Rechte zu berauben, dann nennen wir das nicht demokratisch¹, wir haben da so Sachen wie Minderheitenschutz und Menschenrechte.
Und wenn die 4 danach beschließen, alle Entscheidungsgewalt auf einen von ihnen zu übertragen und ihr Recht auf Abstimmung aufzugeben, ist das nur konsequent.

Ich habe die Entladewerte für die Sungrow-Batterie mal durchrechnen lassen.
Gemessene Werte für die SBR160 (nominell 16 kWh Nutzkapazität):
Ladung: 14,1 kWh
Entladung: 13,7 kWh
Das liegt beides deutlich unter der versprochenen Kapazität (~-13%) - aber ist nicht unerwartet.
Sungrow verspricht bekanntermaßen deutlich mehr, als sie tatsächlich halten.
Interessant ist der Ladungsverlust, der bei <3% liegt.

Scottish Green Party forecast to overtake Scottish Labour in Holyrood, to be 3rd biggest party after SNP and Reform, according to the Scottish Election Study.
Not mentioned in the article, but the SNP are again predicted to get no seats from the list, due to winning a disproportionately large number of constituency seats.
SNP voters choosing to vote Green on the list could utterly change the balance of Reform and Green seats.
Final tests in and the quality is outstanding. Going from the stock `svt-av1` encoder to the `svt-av1-psyex` encoder is already a nice bump in quality, and the encodes are faster using `av1an` due to using every ounce of the CPU. The `lsmash` speedup is nice as well as the stock method for chunking took a bit longer post-detection.

Current summary of all of the GPU acceleration work I've been doing in ngscopeclient since v0.1.1.
Other than the CDR PLL and eye pattern which were high-priority targets that were worth the effort, and the Ethernet which I got nerdsniped on, these are all trivial inner loops of just a few lines that I threw at the GPU without any significant tuning, so there's probably more performance upside.
But I'm not complaining with what I've pulled off so far. (As you ca…
