I spent some more time on AI coding evaluation tooling using the new #AWS open source Standard Operating Procedure system, and now I have an automated leader board. It rates the #Claude-flow hive mind version as better than the Claude-flow swarm version from a month before. Next step is to run some more …

Spain just fired up a biomass plant that fights wildfires while generating clean energy.
ACCIONA Energía's new 50 MW facility in Caceres uses forestry residues as fuel, clearing fire-prone vegetation while producing 380 GWh annually—enough to avoid 187,000 tonnes of CO2.
Beyond energy, it's creating 200 forest management jobs.

Over the last decade, America’s roads have become more dangerous,
with serious crashes increasing by nearly 20 percent since 2013.
Approximately 94 percent of crashes are the result of driver behavior
like speeding, impairment or distraction
— behavior that can be detected and corrected by a new generation of machine learning-enabled dash-cams.

I’ve been testing a theory: many people who are high on #AI and #LLMs are just new to automation and don’t realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero AI involved.
So far it’s been working!
Whenever I’ve been asked to make an AI flow or find a way to implement AI in our work with a client, I’ve returned back with an automation flow that uses 0 AI.
Things like “when a new document is added here, add a link to it in this spreadsheet and then create a task in our project management software assigned to X with label Y”.
And the people who were frothing at the mouth at how I must change my mind on AI have (so far) all responded with resounding enthusiasm and excitement.
They think it’s the same thing. They just don’t understand how much automation is possible without any generative tools.
Having had a while to work with it, I think my big takeaway from the new windowing stuff on iPadOS is that… it pretty much _never_ does what I want with window management? It *should* work like MacOS, but it doesn’t, and it doesn’t in wildly unpredictable and surprising ways?
PAColorHolo: A Perceptually-Aware Color Management Framework for Holographic Displays

https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.14766 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.14766 https://arxiv.org/html/2601.14766

Abstract: Holographic displays offer significant potential for augmented and virtual reality applications by reconstructing wavefronts that enable continuous depth cues and natural parallax without vergence-accommodation conflict. However, despite advances in pixel-level image quality, current systems struggle to achieve perceptually accurate color reproduction--an essential component of visual realism. These challenges arise from complex system-level distortions caused by coherent laser illumination, spatial light modulator imperfections, chromatic aberrations, and camera-induced color biases. In this work, we propose a perceptually-aware color management framework for holographic displays that jointly addresses input-output color inconsistencies through color space transformation, adaptive illumination control, and neural network-based perceptual modeling of the camera's color response. We validate the effectiveness of our approach through numerical simulations, optical experiments, and a controlled user study. The results demonstrate substantial improvements in perceptual color fidelity, laying the groundwork for perceptually driven holographic rendering in future systems.

From what I have read and continue to study, the transitional phase in anarcho-syndicalism involves the organized syndicates and unions acting as the foundational organs for the new society. These unions are democratically structured and federated at local, regional, national, and international levels. During the transition, they engage in direct action such as strikes and boycotts to challenge capitalist control, while simultaneously building the capacity for worker self-management.

"I doubt that investors are fully factoring in launch costs, satellite support and management into their bullishness. Most of them have no access to operating expenses. These include ground network costs, customer support, and satellite management."

Huawei just launched FusionSolar 9.0, and it's a game-changer for renewable energy grids.
The platform combines solar-plus-storage with AI-driven management and grid-forming inverters that actively support weak grids instead of just feeding into them. It includes real-time optimization and fault detection, transforming solar plants into stability assets for grids with high renewable penetration.
