Just gotta love Finland: Google illegally felled a large forest area to build a data centre, which caused a huge outrage. The construction project was halted by the authorities and now the criminal code will be changed to include provisions for even jail sentences in such cases

Niin totta. Liika "tehokkuus" tekee journalismista antijournalismia: "Suuri osa journalismista alkaa nykyään niin, että vastaus on jo tiedossa. Toimituksessa päätetään, mikä juttu on, siihen etsitään sopivat haastateltavat, ja kuvaajalle kerrotaan, millainen kuva tarvitaan."

The roar of fighter jets often rolls across the sky above the clouds. The pilots over the Kyiv region must be working themselves to exhaustion right now. It’s worth once again thanking the nations that generously provided Ukraine with fighter jets, they are saving lives and our future in peace.

I think every major company is looking at open weight AI models and realizing they can just bring them in house with an internal engineering team and cut out the frontier model companies to save money. They have more control and privacy. I really don't see frontier labs surviving this.

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting
Screenshot of the article's graphic, showing color swatches derived from the Earthcam archive, illustration the color of the reflecting pool calibrated against satellite imagery, from 8 June to 19 June 2026. I chose yesterday, 19 June, so it rendered the US American flag with a green hue instead of blue.

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane. — That Privacy Guy!
Google Chrome is downloading a 4 GB Gemini Nano model onto users' machines without consent, with no opt-in, no opt-out short of enterprise tooling, and an automatic re-download every time the user deletes it. The pattern is identical to the Anthropic Claude Desktop case I wrote about last month, but the scale is between two and three orders of magnitude larger. This article does the legal analysis and, for the first time, the environmental analysis. The numbers are not small.

"Nice car you have there, would be shame if something happened to it", is the vibe I get from this reminder. But let's ignore the fact that they are asking customers of 80k€ cars to pay for a SW subscription, and let's pay attention to the fact that this doesn't even tell me what the service does.

Here is an easy solution: Food stains are humiliating, as they suggest you're a little baby who can't feed themselves. Oil stains, such as those you'd get from working on your car, suggest you're tough, independent, and skilled. Thus, simply cover your food stains with used motor oil.
A white garment with some kind of food stain. Humiliating. A pair of dirty hands rest on a car engine. Rough, tough, cool.

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

Vielä yksi epäkohta: vaikka kaivokset tuottavat yli 76 prosenttia kaikesta jätteestä Suomessa ja yli 90 prosenttia vaarallisesta jätteestä, kaivosten ei tarvitse maksaa jäteveroa, mitä muut maksavat 80 euroa tonnilta. Olemmekin esittäneet Suomeen kaivosjäteveroa. 7/7 www.sll.fi/ajankohtaist...

Sakatin kaivos on nykylainsäädännöllä laiton ja Soklin kaivoksen ympäristöriskit on todettu oikeudessa liian suuriksi. Silti valtio rahoittaa kaivoshankkeita sadoilla miljoonilla.
