Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

Welcome back Hungary ... you still have a pretty right wing government, but at least there's no longer a Russian Stooge in control!

No one seems ready for the fallout from the middle east war. So many people think it's business as usual as soon as the war ends. One third of the worlds helium supply has vanished after an attack on Qatar.

So at this point it seems that the Atlassian suite is basically thousands of features and capabilities, delivered to about 80% completion and no chance of them being completed before the next thousand features land.

Kharg Island was supposed to be off-limits. Seems like $200 oil is a goal at this point.

The canary in the coal mine was what happened with Sub-Prime mortgages, this time it’s what’s going on in Private Credit Markets.

A crazy news headline ... for so many reasons.

Getting hard to watch a lot of TV shows and movies as they all start to use LED Volumes as backgrounds … kind of uncanny valley for the real world. The tech is just not there yet. Lots starting to blur background too to mask.

One of Ireland’s two candidates for president a) voted to seal the mother and baby home records, b) doesn’t think trans women are women, c) supports hare coursing as a ‘sport’ …. So wait - that’s cruelty to women and cruelty to animals !

Interesting feature of #StormAmy is that it looks likely to be a shapiro keyser low which increases the risk of a Sting Jet which can bring severe gusts to a small area.

Just like the movie "Until the end of the world" where the story shows people going insane because they get addicted to spending their wake time watching their own dreams - AI models too collapse when trained on recursively generated data :-) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

nature.comAI models collapse when trained on recursively generated data - Nature Analysis shows that indiscriminately training generative artificial intelligence on real and generated content, usually done by scraping data from the Internet, can lead to a collapse in the ability of the models to generate diverse high-quality output.

Crazy this is even exploratory.The EU Greens will be remembered in history for holding back the best technology to stave climate change. Being anti-nuclear weapons is noble, being anti-nuclear is utterly stupid and future generations will look back very unkindly at how all this handled.

The European Investment Bank is exploring investing in nuclear power on the continent for the first time in four decades as political opposition to the technology fades, according to people familiar with the matter.

Was happy to pick this one up given my work deep work with the SageMaker ecosystem on some personal projects, wondering if AWS will create a professional level AI cert at some point? www.credly.com/badges/eaee4...

Other than the heavy handedness on the Peter Pan stuff - it has been pretty perfect, absolutely bursting with easter eggs and references in nearly every frame.

So ChatGPT-5 is basically the previous models, tuned and you can trigger which one is used based on careful prompting... That seems to come through if you ask it to think vs. not etc.
