I’ve seen several videos illustrating this trend, it’s encouraging, but does anybody have an idea of the numbers ? This could be a big change, not least for cities which continue over-constructing, despite falling national population, assuming that past urbanisation trends can be projected to the future.
Ayayay. I’m tempted to write - how are they so stuck in a past worldview ? Yet Cyrillic script and orthodox church developed in Bulgaria and then in Kyiv, not in Moscow, and even back in the days of Tito, Yugoslavs understood that Stalin was not their friend.
Anyway, at least he attended - halfway progress ?
I always liked trolleybuses - quiet, good acceleration - remember them from Ukraine as well as Switzerland. Although the wires are complicated (remarkable how the switches work) - they also tell a stranger to a city which way the route passes - an assurance similar to tram tracks.
There are more specific ad-server / tracker IPs that can be blocked at DNS level, tools like Pi-hole work that way (although if big countries did this, I suppose they’d quickly find workarounds to blend those addresses with useful ones).
Oh, it’s designed for a big desktop screen, although it just happens to work on mobile devices too - their compute power is enough, but to understand the interactions of complex systems, we need space.
For many of them it’s still far away. But I note the ukrainian counter of russian casualties is about to pass a million. While there is ‘fog of war’ it’s easier to say people are missing, so friends and relatives can keep hoping that theirs is the special case. During any prolonged ceasefire, it would become clearer who’s gone forever - which is one reason why P avoids this situation (and also bans NGOs like soldier’s mothers, who used to help connect these dots).
Huh. There are some good use-cases for super-computers, but promising that massive application of AI is going to “make air travel more sustainable” - could hardly choose a worse example.
Indeed, here’s an example - my climate-system model web-app, written in scala running (mainly) in wasm
(note: that was compiled with scala-js 1.17, they say latest 1.19 does wasm faster, I didn’t yet compare).
[ Edit: note wasm variant only works with most recent browsers, maybe with experimental options set - if not try without ?wasm ]
This is not a surprise, I recall decades ago they predicted ‘intensification of the hydrological cycle’. India needs to store much more water across seasons, especially to replace the seasonal himalayan snow and glacier melt.
Je suppose la problème fondamentale c’est qu’il faudrait de la coordination avec d’autres pays vers lesquels ces milliardaires pourrait se déménager, mais actuellement la politique de certains de ces pays est capturé par ces mêmes milliardaires. Néanmoins, il faut préparer, pour qu’on puisse saisir le meilleur moment des oscillations politiques mondiales, quand cela s’aligne.
Maybe eventually they should build several smaller dams instead of one big one, just enough for irrigation and water supply, considering the potential ecological balance of the whole region, rather than of just a narrow potential ‘reserve’.
It’s naturally a dry area, the south bank opposite Kherson is already almost a ‘desert’ with dunes, although with a long history - they say such ‘Pontic Steppe’ grasslands were where indo-european tribes originated.
Anyway, before grand plans, Ukraine has to control both sides of the river, so I suppose they’ll keep watching how hard the mud bakes this summer.
Well, technically the internet backbone is already controlled locally, it’s the web services - software - that are dominated by US big-tech. And for such services to be safe we need a diversity of providers, not only local ones maybe easily coerced by our own national governments, some of which might also try to turn authoritarian in future. So the problem is not that US big-tech participates, rather that we let them become almost a monopoly.
This seems highly significant (at least as a precedent that others may follow), to me great news, but if that’s so why did I only see it reported here, on a ‘local’ community in Lemmy?
Erm … if in such a scenario sea-level drops 100m below current shoreline at low tide, wouldn’t it rise nearly 100m at high tide - assuming the total volume of the ocean being the same ? In which case the dry-land coastline would be much further inland.
What happened to Assam and beyond ?
Well area looks empty, but recently painted. English wikipedia says no passengers since 2024. French wikipedia says they are, but french influence driven out by russian-backed military coup. 36 hours by train to the coast at Abidjan. Any locals here to tell us ?
Nice architecture, but are there still any passenger trains ?
OK, nice promises, but seems to me overpowered for phone functions, so what’s their plan for battery lifetime (bearing in mind that a desktop os is less optimised for efficiency)?
Indeed it seems Trump picked up some ideas about “Juche” (national self-reliance?) from his best buddy “rocket-man”.
Since much (so-called) “AI” basic training data depends on Wikipedia, wouldn’t this create a feedback loop that could quickly degenerate ?
