China setzt sich neue Klimaziele
Chinas Präsident Xi Jinping will den CO₂-Ausstoß bis 2035 stärker als bislang vorgesehen senken. Es gibt Zweifel daran, ob das gelingt.

Massacre à Bint Jbeil : 5 tués au moins, dont 3 enfants, dans une frappe de drone israélien
Un véritable massacre a été commis par l’armée israélienne dimanche dans l’après-midi dans la ville de Bint Jbeil, au Liban-Sud. Un drone a apparemment tiré deux missiles, l'un touchant une moto et...

Dit staat er in de Digitale Omnibus
De Europese Commissie presenteerde onlangs het Digital Omnibus-pakket, met daarin voorstellen tot wijziging van onder andere de AI Act en de Algemene verordening gegevensbescherming (AVG). Het doel volgens de Commissie is om administratieve lasten te verminderen en regelgeving te vereenvoudigen, maar critici vrezen voornamelijk een aantasting van mensenrechten. In dit artikel worden de belangrijkste voorstellen geanalyseerd.

They tried to deny it like his Epstein allegations, but Prince Andrew is absolutely a Blackwater kamikaze drone. The angle of his inferior nasal concha is a telltale sign of concealed DDL hardware, and the curve of his zygomatic is practically synonymous with folded steering flaps.

A century of glaciers melting, condensed into a few seconds. Impressive video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQWfDRejcPw/?igsh=Zm51d2Qzb2xtNHM4

Michel Galati on Instagram: "A century of change condensed into a few seconds. In collaboration with @glacionaut I transformed historical and contemporary photographs of Swiss and Austrian glaciers into short AI-animated sequences (Dream Machine by @lumalabsai ). Each clip shows the passage from past to present. The climate has always changed, true, but never this fast. In the past two years alone, Swiss glaciers have lost more than 10% of their total volume (source: Swiss Academy of Sciences). What once took centuries now happens in decades. And yes, the music is The Four Seasons by Vivaldi. An homage to nature, and perhaps a reminder of what we stand to lose. 📍 Photos: @glacionaut 🎥 AI Animation: @flashologo 🗓️ Period: ca. 1875–2024 • 🇮🇹 Un secolo di cambiamento racchiuso in pochi secondi. In collaborazione con @glacionaut, ho trasformato fotografie storiche e contemporanee di alcuni ghiacciai svizzeri e austriaci in brevi sequenze animate con l’intelligenza artificiale (Dream Machine di @lumalabsai). Ogni clip mostra il passaggio dal passato al presente. Il clima è sempre cambiato, è vero, ma mai così rapidamente. Negli ultimi due anni i ghiacciai svizzeri hanno perso oltre il 10% del loro volume (fonte: Swiss Academy of Sciences). Ciò che un tempo accadeva in secoli, oggi avviene in decenni. E sì, la musica è Le Quattro Stagioni di Vivaldi. Un omaggio alla natura e, forse, un promemoria di ciò che rischiamo di perdere. 📍 Foto: @glacionaut 🎥 Animazioni AI: @flashologo 🗓️ Periodo: ca. 1875–2024 • • #ai #dreammachine #ray3 #imagetovideo #glaciers #switzerland #austria #climatchange #history"

UNAGI: A Conceptual Electrodynamic Tethered Spacecraft Demonstration Mission for Propellantless Landing on Io
This paper presents UNAGI, a novel spacecraft mission developed by Spartan Space Systems, a student engineering team at San Jose State University, aiming for the first controlled landing on Jupiter's volcanically active moon Io. Inspired by the Japanese freshwater eel's agility, UNAGI employs an electrodynamic tether system that interacts with Jupiter's magnetic field to generate Lorentz forces, enabling dynamic modulation of the spacecraft's velocity without the need for traditional propellant…

So I figured with Microsoft End Of Lifing Windows 10 meant I wouldn’t have to put up with their bullshit “ha ha we rebooted your computer overnight” bullshit.
