Balkonkraftwerk schlägt Politik: "Wer soll diese Revolution verbieten? Die Strompolizei?"
In Deutschland verkommt "Energiewende" zum Kampfbegriff. Ein Fehler, sagt Tim Meyer im Gespräch mit ntv.de. Erneuerbare sind ihm zufolge nichts anderes als eine industrielle Revolution. Leider hat Deutschland den Wettlauf verschlafen - abgesehen von einem Bereich.

Reflective pause in Cirque de Troumouse, Pyrenees (just too grand to photograph)...
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #Photography

A small lake/pond in a high alpine landscape of only grasses and talus fields visible. The shallow water in the lake is very dark and reflecting some of the nearby mountain peaks of the surrounding 270 degree cirque. The framing of the image is such that only the reflection of the peaks and some of the clouds are visible.

Content warning: LLM training frameworks, interesting

Interesting explanation of LLM training frameworks and the incentives for confident guessing.
"The authors examined ten major AI benchmarks, including those used by Google, OpenAI and also the top leaderboards that rank AI models. This revealed that nine benchmarks use binary grading systems that award zero points for AIs expressing uncertainty.
" ... When an AI system says “I don’t know”, it receives the same score as giving completely wrong information. The optimal strategy under such evaluation becomes clear: always guess. ...
"More sophisticated approaches like active learning, where AI systems ask clarifying questions to reduce uncertainty, can improve accuracy but further multiply computational requirements. ...
"Users want systems that provide confident answers to any question. Evaluation benchmarks reward systems that guess rather than express uncertainty. Computational costs favour fast, overconfident responses over slow, uncertain ones."

My comment: "Fast, overconfident responses" sounds a bit similar to "bullshit", does it not?

Here's a photo that's a bit different from my usual style.
I took it with the tele lens on last weekend's hike. The inversion caused such a great sea of clouds with just some sole islands.
This kind of weather really offers such unique motives. And again: it was worth carrying the zoom lens up there :-D
Enjoy!

This image captures a serene and almost mystical scene of a mountain peak emerging from a sea of clouds. The landscape is shrouded in a thick layer of mist or fog, creating an ethereal and tranquil atmosphere. Only the top of the mountain and a few structures, possibly buildings or communication towers, are visible above the cloud cover. The soft, muted colors and the smooth texture of the clouds give the scene a dreamy quality. The contrast between the solid structures and the fluid, cloudy b…

Ein klimaneutraler Pfad könnte den #Fossilenergiebedarf in der EU bis 2050 um 90 Prozent senken.
Laut einer neuen Studie des #PIK ist dieser Rückgang durch den raschen Ausbau erneuerbarer #Energien

From net-zero to zero-fossil in transforming the EU energy system - Nature Communications
This scenario study investigates how the EU net-zero target can be reached with varying levels of residual fossil fuels. Reducing fossils by only 90% relies on substantial carbon storage, while a full fossil phase-out requires a rapid scale-up of expensive carbon-neutral e-fuels.
