Linus Tech Tips is the “17 Magazine” for people developing a homelab. LTT gives everyone an unrealistic standard of homelab beauty. Real home labs are mostly someone's yard sale card table with an ESD mat and a pile of junk they "don't have time" to clean on them that is all half disassembled.

Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" was released on this day 62 years ago. I have a first edition & come back to it often, including this paragraph in the chapter "Obligation to Endure." It's worth reading. "We urgently need an end to these false assurances, to the sugar coating of unpalatable facts."

The last paragraph in the Silent Spring chapter Obligation to Endure, reads, in part, " We urgently need an end to these false assurances, to the sugar coating of unpalatable facts... The public must decide whether it wishes to continue on the present road, and it can do so only when in full possession of the facts. In the words of Jean Rostand, "The obligation to endure gives us the right to know."

AI will not help tackle climate change. The "innovations" AI produces will not pay back the carbon emitted. Particularly since most people don't use AI for climate research. And because we *know* what to do to stop climate change, we just aren't doing it.

Keep in mind the new "Battery Powered" Buses @mbta.com is bringing in have a battery that alone weights half a ton more than a fully loaded cyber truck. So the stopping distance might be about the same but the force in incidents like this where breaks are missed will be greater.

As part of the appeals process, a member of a three-judge panel had cast the ballroom as illustrative of the Administration’s “move fast and break things” approach. “If the government decides, very quickly, to bulldoze the Statue of Liberty,” the judge asked, “nothing can be done?”

“I think that’s right, yes,” a lawyer for the Administration responded.

The key figure of merit "5GW" of energy storage mentioned is basically meaningless. 5GW peak? 5GW continuously for 24hrs? 5GWh would mean something in the context of storage but it would still be a tiny fraction of what a pumped hydro facility like Northfield Mountain makes when it's really cooking
