Yeah, you'd need to produce 2 nuclear power stations per week to keep up with growth in solar alone. It's going to have a part to play, but it's ever slipping into irrelevance.

Oruxmaps is pretty good too.

The max on this graph is 21.2. Each year, the time when cooling begins is getting later. If it's anything like last year, it seems possible it could break 21.5. Where is this 21.9 coming from?

Ah, you're suggesting using RFC 3514. Good thinking.

Fractal universe theories have been proposed. I don't know many details myself, but just thought it was an example of how you can still have theoretically infinite detail within a finite system.

Fractals are infinite

I said automaton wrong for years. I said auto-maton instead of au-tomoton. I still cringe a bit thinking about it :-/

Ferrock is an interesting new development. Stronger than concrete and absorbs CO2 when curing.

I was just looking at https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and it listed appen as a site that breached my details. I had no idea who they were or why they had my details. I guess this is related?

Appen: In June 2020, the AI training data company Appen suffered a data breach exposing the details of almost 5.9 million users which were subsequently sold online. Included in the breach were names, email addresses and passwords stored as bcrypt hashes. Some records also contained phone numbers, employers and IP addresses. The data was provided to HIBP by dehashed.com.

They have released it on github. The code is only about 500 lines. But releasing the model is arguably more important because that sort of compute is not affordable to any mortals.
