Google Says It Will Replenish More Water Than It Uses At Data Centers

An anonymous reader quotes a report from 9to5Google: There's been a lot of pushback in recent months around the impact of AI data centers on local communities, with the use of water being a key issue for many. Google, in an expansion of its "water stewardship" programs, is making commitments that include replenishing more water than it uses at its data center sites. AI data centers go through a lot of water use in cooling the hardware used to power models, and Google is no exception. While Google stands by.

It should have been the final straw. The new power couple of editorial failure - Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton - had fired legendary 60 Minutes journalist Scott Pelley. Why?

Выпрямление векторных полей и коммутирование потоков: честный координатный анализ

В этой статье подробно разбираются и доказываются две классические теоремы теории динамических систем: теорема о локальном выпрямлении векторного поля и критерий комму- тирования фазовых потоков. Эти утверждения стандартны; они входят в университетские программы и содержатся во многих учебниках по обыкновенным дифференциальным уравнениям и дифференциальной геометрии. Однако на практике полное формальное доказательство критерия коммутирования встречается редко. В продвинутой литературе (например, в учебниках Read more

[Перевод] Климатологи: наихудший климатический сценарий становится менее вероятным, но и самый благоприятный ускользает

Учёные отказываются от наихудших и наилучших сценариев развития ситуации с глобальным потеплением, считая их маловероятными. Это свидетельствует о том, что скромные успехи в борьбе с изменением климата позволили снизить риск наиболее катастрофического сценария будущего потепления, но в то же время подтвердили: шансов ограничить потепление в рамках международной цели, установленной в 2015 году, уже нет.Новый список из семи вероятных сценариев загрязнения углеродом в будущем отбрасывает два основных, краевых.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 is now confirmed to skip any sort of charging upgrade

Back in April, a rumor told us that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 would still only support 25W wired charging and nothing more, just like its predecessor - in fact, just like all Galaxy Z Flips since the Galaxy Z Flip4. Now, several certifications by SGS for various Flip8 models have confirmed this. The phone goes up to a maximum of 9V 2.77A, which translates into 25W. The aforementioned... Read more

BSA Lashes Out At Mandatory Open-Source Licensing

Longtime Slashdot reader Elektroschock writes: The American Business Software Alliance (BSA) does not consider mandatory open-source licensing to be an appropriate indicator of sovereignty. This is among the "pointed messages" they sent to the French government consultation (closed) today. "What protects Europe is the ability to govern, audit, and mitigate risk, not where a company files its corporate papers," said Thomas Boue of BSA. "Criteria of this kind raise costs,... Read more

Apple Working To Cram Massive Gemini Model Into iPhone To Power New Siri

Apple is reportedly working to shrink Google's Gemini models enough to power parts of a long-delayed AI-enhanced Siri on iPhones. But despite Apple's best efforts to run the AI locally, "the iPhone's Gemini makeover will lean heavily on Google and Nvidia in the cloud," reports Ars Technica. That could complicate Apple's privacy-first AI messaging, especially if more complex Siri requests are routed through Google infrastructure and Nvidia's encrypted cloud-computing platform....
