Texas is about to hit a major energy milestone. By 2026, the state's solar power generation will overtake coal for the first time, producing 78,000 GWh compared to coal's 60,000 GWh.
The Lone Star State is adding 14 GW of new utility-scale solar, plus massive battery storage to keep the grid stable. Combined with wind, renewables could exceed 20% of total U.S. generation by early 2027.

PV power generation to surpass coal in Texas
Utility-scale solar power is projected to surpass coal-fired generation in the ERCOT grid this year as massive capacity additions continue to reshape the state energy mix.

I now compute my rolling 12 month utility energy carbon footprint using hourly grid imports/exports and hourly grid intensity:
Total kgCO2e over last 12 full calendar months: -37
Per month kgCO2e for each of last 12 full calendar months: -42 -43 -40 -8 11 27 42 52 28 -2 -22 -40

Partitioned Iterative Quantum Scheduling of Satellites for Urgent Disaster Response: Case study of Wildfire
Lucas T. Braydwood, Taejin Park, Hirofumi Hashimoto, Zoe Gonzalez Izquierdo, Andrew Michaelis, Eleanor Rieffel, Shon Grabbe
https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.12310 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.12310 https://arxiv.org/html/2606.12310
arXiv:2606.12310v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The standard in Earth-observation tasks today is having near real-time access to surface images in response to changing conditions. For instance, as urban environments interface more with wildlands and wildfires become less predictable, their tracking with satellite resources becomes essential. This requires the coordination of increasingly large constellations of satellites, giving rise to challenging computational problems. With wildfire detection and tracking as a backdrop, we investigate the power of special purpose and novel computing paradigms to tackle the ensuing satellite scheduling problems, making a compelling case for quantum algorithms. We bring quantum scheduling algorithms closer to implementation by examining both the emerging iterative quantum algorithm framework, which comes with analytic guarantees compared to some classical algorithms, and distributed quantum computing methods whose relevance is on the rise as utility-scale problems begin to get solved with quantum computers. Drawing strength from several computing fronts, we develop a distributed/parallelization scheme in conjunction with the quantum algorithm design and apply these techniques to real-world datasets for wildfire detection. While our quantum subprocesses are currently too small to see significant quantum advantage, our results validate the utility of these techniques, and continue forging the path toward distributed quantum computing.

Joint Movable Antenna Positioning and RIS Partitioning for Sum-Rate Maximization
Mohammed Saif
https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.11519 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.11519 https://arxiv.org/html/2606.11519
arXiv:2606.11519v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This paper investigates the utility of the movable antenna (MA) and reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) framework for downlink wireless communications. In the considered scenario, a base station (BS) is equipped with two sub-arrays of MAs transmits signals to the users via the RIS. By jointly exploiting the antenna-positioning flexibility of MAs and the RIS element selection capability, the proposed joint MA-RIS framework introduces additional design degrees of freedom to enhance desired signals and mitigate inter-user interference, thereby maximizing the network sum-rate. To this end, we formulate a joint optimization problem involving MA positioning, sub-array beamforming, and RIS element selection, subject to the minimum antenna separation and transmit power constraints. The resulting problem is highly non-convex and challenging to solve directly. To address this issue, an alternating optimization framework is developed that decomposes the problem into three tractable subproblems. Specifically, zero-forcing beamforming is employed for transmit beamformer design, a low-complexity one-dimensional search is derived for RIS element selection, and the MA positioning problem is solved using block coordinate descent (BCD) and convex optimization techniques implemented via CVX. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed joint MA-RIS framework significantly improves the achievable sum-rate compared with conventional fixed MAs and benchmark schemes with random configurations.

So LLMs have utility for programming but not _by themselves_, only in conjunction with a harness that essentially brute-forces text generation until it passes deterministic criteria.
Those (non-LLM parts) can be tested in an automated way, by iteratively syntax checking, compiling, running tests etc.
But this doesn't apply to literally anything else: there's no deterministic syntax checking, compiling or veracity-testing for human language—yet tech bros still have this misguided notion that LLMs work great for _everything_ because they work (sometimes) for generating computer code.
(I'm not going into economic or ethical problems with LLM here on purpose; this is purely an observation from a technical and epistemological point of view.)

Constant Approximation for Hylland--Zeckhauser Equilibria

Abstract: We present a polynomial-time algorithm for computing a $1/e$-approximate Hylland--Zeckhauser (HZ) equilibrium. This establishes the \emph{first} efficient approximation guarantee for HZ equilibria in settings with multi-valued utilities. Our main technical contribution is a novel utility stratification technique that reduces the original multi-valued market to a structured bi-valued instance. This reduction allows us to efficiently compute the approximation by leveraging the exact algorithm of Vazirani and Yannakakis.

I wonder if a voltage regulator at the local utility was having some problems? A couple weeks ago I saw much larger than normal variation in mains voltage than I've ever seen before, both high and low, then it cleared up.

best secondary car-related purchase (trailer) i have ever made beside the next best car-related purchase i have made.
This trailer has been infinitely useful even if the car is not technically "rated" for it, a cross-Canada trip and endless runs to the transfer depot, stores, soil dispensary, and rock yard have made it a huge part of our home life. Even if the lights on it only work 75% of the time (seriously... how can they not make these things more robust?)
And the little electric pump is so great. Can plug in to both 120V home and 12V car outlet, has multiple ends for different types of tires and inflatable things. Great for home, car and camping. Set a PSI or kPa, hit the go button and it runs until the pressure is met.
Highly recommend! (both purchased at CanTire but the trailer comes from many places under different names (all made in Ontario). The pump is CanTire brand Motomaster

Designed-Source Reductions and a Dual-Purpose Feasibility Band for Semantic Rate-Distortion
Joss Armstrong
https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.11280 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.11280 https://arxiv.org/html/2606.11280
arXiv:2606.11280v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The joint rate-distortion framework of Stavrou and Kountouris (IEEE Transactions on Communications 2023) characterises dual-fidelity tradeoffs for semantic communication on stochastic semantic sources. Many task-oriented communication systems instead use designed sources, where the semantic object is a deterministic oracle allocation $\phi^(t)$ rather than a stochastic quantity given by nature. We isolate the subclass of designed sources under smooth concave utility with assumptions A1, A2 and Euclidean allocation codomain, and restrict the encoder class to deterministic common-category mappings. Within this subclass the SK exponential-tilting decoder and generalised Blahut--Arimoto iteration specialise to conditional-mean decoding and Lloyd--Max stationarity on $\phi^(t)$. When the second fidelity is a monotone single-letter distortion, the joint problem stays inside the SK admissible class; the common-category SK rate is lower-bounded by the max of the corresponding Shannon rate-distortion functions, with equality only when the common-category reconstruction is compatible and RDF-optimal. When the second fidelity is aggregate verification, the joint problem leaves the SK single-letter class and admits a constrained-design feasibility band $R_{\min}(\varepsilon^) \leq R \leq R_{\max}(\beta^)$ of width $\log_2(K_{\max}/K_{\min})$ bits in partition cardinality. The reduction and the band are scope statements on the SK apparatus, not modifications to it. A smart-grid economic-dispatch example with a non-technical-loss-detection contrast illustrates the band.
