Amazon rainforest flipped to carbon source during 2023 extreme drought, study shows
The Amazon rainforest is of crucial importance to the Earth's ecosystem, given its capacity to store substantial amounts of carbon in its vegetation. In 2023, the region experienced unusually high temperatures, reaching 1.5°C above the 1991–2020 average, accompanied by unusual levels of atmospheric dryness from September to November. These conditions were caused by warmer water temperatures in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans that resulted in diminished moisture transport from the Atlantic to…

Amazon deforestation raises surface temperature by 3°C during dry season, satellite data show
Deforestation in the Amazon is causing significant regional changes in climate compared to areas with forest cover above 80%. The loss of vegetation leads to an increase in surface temperature, a decrease in evapotranspiration, and a reduction in precipitation during the dry season and in the number of rainy days.

Genau das haben wir noch gebraucht. 🤪

performance bicycle: chains are $3 cheaper than amazon.
ebay: the power cable replacement for the one that got shredded is $1 cheaper than amazon.
aliexpress: the plastic containers were a bit harder to find, but multiple dollars cheaper than the ones on amazon (that are probably from the same supplier and had to go through customs last time).

#Amazon pauses AI-driven #coding chaos: after major outages, stricter code reviews are now mandatory.

And all 32 #AmazonLeo satellites have been deployed by the first #Ariane 64: good news for Arianespace and Amazon but probably bad news for astronomy as the previous satellites of this #megaconstellation have proven to be brighter than they should be. As this diagram from the recent paper "Brightness Characterization and Modeling for Amazon Leo Satellites" - https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.07708 - shows they are almost always brighter than the informally established 7 mag. limit. And there are no indications that the design of the 32 added to the constellation today had been modified to make them dimmer ... while the next Ariane launch will carry more of them.

Deforestation leads to more extreme weather events in the Amazon region #Amazon

Deforestation leads to more extreme weather events in the Amazon region
From a bird's eye view, the Amazon rainforest appears as a lush green mosaic of treetops stretching as far as the eye can see. It is home to countless animal and plant species, many of which are endemic, and the forest plays an important role in the global climate as a carbon sink. However, deforestation threatens to destroy this unique ecosystem and its important functions. One-fifth of the area has already been cleared, and there is no end in sight to this intensive use. This has serious cons…

I have never seen a more tone deaf TV advertisement than the #Amazon Artificial Intelligence, "I COULD KILL YOU HUMAN LET ME VISUALIZE THE WAYS YOU COULD DIE AT MY HAND".
Maybe drawing attention - any attention - to their poorly adopted AI was their intent, but DAMN, that was cringeworthy.

Deforestation is drying out the Amazon rainforest faster than previously thought #Amazon

Deforestation is drying out the Amazon rainforest faster than previously thought
Deforestation is having a more devastating effect on the Amazon rainforest than earlier data suggested. While cutting down large swaths of trees destroys vital habitats, it also harms the region's ability to generate its own rainfall. According to a new study published in the journal Nature, the Amazon could reach a tipping point and experience major forest dieback (where large areas of the rainforest dry out and turn into a savanna) sooner than previously thought.

Ich weiß gar nicht, was mich mehr schockiert: Dass man auf #Amazon mittlerweile bei Kinderbüchern echt aufpassen muss, keine KI-generierten Bücher zu erwischen, oder dass die Rezensionen häufig durchaus positiv sind. Und nicht mehr nur „Wissensbücher“, sondern tatsächlich ganze Romane. #AI

Hat jemand schon eine Biographie von mir entdeckt? 🤔
Bei #Amazon tauchen zunehmend fragwürdige #Biografien auf, die offenbar komplett von #KI verfasst wurden. Prominente wie Thomas Müller oder Alice…

Wenn die KI fabuliert: Fake-Biografien fluten den Buchmarkt
Sie fluten zu Tausenden den Online-Buchhandel und sind ein Ärgernis für Leser, Promis und auch weniger bekannte Menschen: Biografien, deren Inhalt komplett durch Künstliche Intelligenz generiert wurde.

The $75M "#Melania" vanity project bribe reportedly beat box office expectations by making $7M opening wknd, per #Amazon MGM distribution head, Kevin Wilson.
If I invested $75M with no tangible ROI, I'd be so fired, Google wouldn't even have data on me.
