Even as China's expansion of solar and wind power raced ahead in 2025, the Asian giant opened many more coal power plants than it had in recent years — raising concern about whether the world's largest emitter will reduce carbon emissions enough to limit climate change.
More than 50 large coal units — individual boiler and turbine sets with generating capacity of 1 gigawatt or more — were commissioned in 2025, up from fewer.

Всем привет, уважаемые читатели! В архитектуре проектов мы можем наблюдать применение паттерна BFF (Backend for frontend). При этом BFF может быть в архитектуре, где есть взаимодействие с клиентскими приложениями: веб, мобильное, смарт-устройства и т.д, но может быть всего-навсего один служебный фронтенд, доступ к которому возможен во внутрикорпоративном сегменте, например, банковская система, hr, логистика. Кажется, что при наличии одного фронтенда введение BFF избыточно.И возникает закономерный вопрос: ес Read more ›

Можно ли научить нейросеть «думать» так, словно на дворе 1912-й или даже 1650-й год? Да, но для этих целей нужно не расширять обучающие датасеты, а... ограничивать их. Мы в Beeline Cloud решили поговорить о проектах, позволяющих погрузиться в прошлое с помощью LLM, — и какое применение они находят с точки зрения гносеологии и бихевиоральных наук. Также обсуждаем несколько открытых инициатив, в рамках которых развивают подобные LLM. Читать далее Read more ›

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series may be named after the year 2026, but the three models feel like they are from different times. The Ultra once again gets the best new features, the vanilla model gets few but important upgrades, while the Plus model, well, there isn’t much to say about that one. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra boasts a new Privacy Display feature. Compared to the S25 Ultra, it also... Read more ›

Sitting at my desk and racking my brain for something, anything to say about Pokémon for its thirtieth anniversary, I found myself inexplicably struggling. What do you say about a series like this? With Zelda, there's easy lines to trace about it as both reflection and architect of many an era's trends. I could write about the anniversary of Final Fantasy in about a hundred different ways. I even had... Read more ›

Давайте поговорим о вытяжной вентиляции в многоквартирных домах. Какая она бывает. Какие проблемы встречаются и как их решать. И основное: как управлять внутриквартирными дросселирующими заслонками (дроссель-клапанами) вентиляции в современных ЖК и обеспечивать комфортные уровни и шума, и расходования воздуха даже в условиях постоянных изменений тяги в общем канале. И конечно же, запользуем запылившуюся на полке Ардуинку. Читать далее Read more ›

A software engineer tried steering his robot vacuum with a videogame controller, reports Popular Science — but ended up with "a sneak peak into thousands of people's homes." While building his own remote-control app, Sammy Azdoufal reportedly used an AI coding assistant to help reverse-engineer how the robot communicated with DJI's remote cloud servers. But he soon discovered that the same credentials that allowed him to see and control his... Read more ›

The first fiber-optic cable ever laid across an ocean -- TAT-8, a nearly 6,000-kilometer line between the United States, United Kingdom, and France that carried its first traffic on December 14, 1988 -- is now being pulled off the Atlantic seabed after more than two decades of sitting dormant, bound for recycling in South Africa.

Lockheed Martin's F-35 combat aircraft is a supersonic stealth "strike fighter." But this week the military news site TWZ reports that the fighter's "computer brain," including "its cloud-based components, could be cracked to accept third-party software updates, just like 'jailbreaking' a cellphone, according to the Dutch State Secretary for Defense." TWZ notes that the Dutch defense secretary made the remarks during an episode of BNR Nieuwsradio's "Boekestijn en de Wijk"... Read more ›

IBM shares plunged nearly 13% on Monday after Anthropic published a blog post arguing that its Claude Code tool could automate much of the complex analysis work involved in modernizing COBOL, the decades-old programming language that still underpins an estimated 95% of ATM transactions in the United States and runs on the kind of mainframe systems IBM has sold for generations. Anthropic said the shrinking pool of developers who understand... Read more ›

Google and Microsoft contributed $5 million to launch Alpha-Omega in 2022 — a Linux Foundation project to help secure the open source supply chain. But its co-founder Michael Winser warns that open source registries are in financial peril, reports The Register, since they're still relying on non-continuous funding from grants and donations. And it's not just because bandwidth is expensive, he said at this year's FOSDEM. "The problem is they... Read more ›

Fossil fuels produce NO2, which is linked to asthma attacks, bronchitis, and higher risks of heart disease and stroke, according the EV news site Electrek. But the nonprofit news site Grist.org notes a new analysis showing that those emissions decreased by 1.1% for every increase of 200 electric vehicles — across nearly 1,700 ZIP codes. "A pretty small addition of cars at the ZIP code level led to a decline... Read more ›

Imagine a 280-unit apartment complex offering no on-site leasing office with a human agent for questions.

Friday Amazon published a blog post "to address the inaccuracies" in a Financial Times report that the company's own AI tool Kiro caused two outages in an AWS service in December. Amazon writes that the "brief" and "extremely limited" service interruption "was the result of user error — specifically misconfigured access controls — not AI as the story claims." And "The Financial Times' claim that a second event impacted AWS... Read more ›
