California joined 19 other states
on July 16 to take a swing at a Trump administration delay tactic
in approving onshore wind energy projects.
In light of California’s goal for its energy to be 100 percent carbon-free by 2045,
wind plays a large part.
On a hot and humid afternoon like this Friday’s, renewable energy is supplying 70 percent of the 34-gigawatt demand.
Wind makes up 11 percent of that carbon-free renewable energy.
Any project that uses…

De ‘AI-oorlog’ is begonnen. Staat Europa met lege handen?
Kill switch: Europa kan niet anders dan meedoen in de AI-wapenwedloop met de VS en China, schrijven AI-onderzoekers in een alarmerend toekomstscenario. „Als je afwacht, geef je je hele economische concurrentiepositie op.” Zijn er echt geen alternatieven mogelijk?

The Newsom administration is suing five more California cities
— Calexico, Costa Mesa, Half Moon Bay, Ridgecrest and Turlock — for failing to complete state-mandated housing plans, known as the “housing element.”

Huntington Beach was the first city to face such a legal action, and it recently finalized its housing element plans following a court-order and massive fines.
The law, which has been in place since 1969, requires cities and counties every eight years to d…

In the era of the RAMageddon, even a Raspberry Pi will cost you a couple hundred bucks.
But you know, you don't even need something that powerful for an ad- blocking DNS filter.
In fact, you can use a $5 microcontroller to build a fully functional ad-blocking filter with over 500,000 domains blocked and around 10ms latency.
We know that's possible because Egyptian full-stack developer ZedAxis (@M-Abozaid on GitHub) has already built one.
Using an ESP32-C3 &qu…

Clever hacker fits 537,000 domains in a tiny $5 ESP32 ad-blocking dongle — firmware uses only around 50KB of RAM and can answer blocked lookups in 10 milliseconds
This project uses a clever hashing trick to fit over half a million blocked domains into just 4MB of flash memory.
