If the law falls, the court could make it significantly harder for states and cities to keep guns out of everyday life.

Sweden just invested $12M in solar cells that work indoors.
Exeger's Powerfoyle technology could eliminate disposable batteries in everyday electronics by harvesting energy from indoor and outdoor light. The flexible solar cells reduce dependence on critical raw materials while offering high conductivity.
This funding will help scale production and move us closer to a battery-free future for consumer devices.

Sweden backs indoor solar cell technology
A Swedish government agency is investing SEK 130 million ($13.8 million) in the next-generation indoor solar cell technology belonging to Exeger. The company’s Powerfoyle solar cells are an evolution of dye-sensitized solar cells and are said to offer 1,000 times better conductivity.

I realise now GPU tech is way too powerful to be sold at a bargain to normy gamers, hence the enormous price ramp up. Think about the high tech inventions that came DOWN from the space programs into our everyday lives. AI capable hardware came UP from the gaming space, and is now used in crime, research, financing, national security, and the military. Which is alarming for an off-the-shelf technology that is within the reach of every sicko grokking in Muskland.

Microplastics—tiny particles now found in food, water, air, and even human tissues—may directly accelerate artery-clogging disease, and new research shows the danger may be far greater for males.

As AI becomes more common in everyday living, there is an increasing demand for intelligent systems that are both performant and understandable. Explainable AI (XAI) systems aim to provide comprehensible explanations of decisions and predictions. At present, however, evaluation processes are rather technical and not sufficiently focused on the needs of human users. Consequently, evaluation studies involving human users can serve as a valuable guide for conducting user studies. This paper presen…

"This project started as a search problem and ended as something more. The most important result isn’t which neighbourhood tops the rankings - it’s the realisation that platforms now quietly structure survival in everyday urban markets. London’s restaurant scene is no longer organised by taste alone. It is organised by visibility that compounds, rent that rises when discovery arrives, and algorithms that allocate attention long before consumers ever show up. What looks like “choice” is increasingly the downstream effect of ranking systems."
