Geothermal electricity production has been getting good press this year and that's great, but let's keep it in perspective shall we.

I hope that geothermal electricity can break out from its niche role in the locations with high near-surface temps. It's still a blip in terms of clean energy production.

I worked in the field prior to leaving the Ivory Tower. It's human nature to tout the technology that you work most closely so take big predictions with a grain of salt.

Hey check this out, in the last few days I have been putting up a lot of #quilts that were created my mom up for sale. She sent me a photo of this one the other day, it is the quilt in the pic below. This one she is including for free to the next person who buys a #quilt! It measures 13 x 13 in (33 x 33 cm). Her quilts are already very affordable, and now you get a second quilt added as well. Msg me if interested, LOTS of ones to choose from :underheart:

In Florida, a race is on to save the Everglades and protect a key source of drinking water

“This is the biggest, most complicated and most expensive ecosystem restoration project in the world. It’s really important that we get it right.”

Large crawler tractor shovels at work along a gray-green stretch of water under a sunny sky with clouds. This is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers building the Everglades Agricultural Area Reservoir, intended to store polluted water from Lake Okeechobee and agricultural runoff so it can be cleaned in an adjacent stormwater treatment area before being released to flow south into the Everglades. AP photo by Rebecca Blackwell.
Sadly, I think their efforts are doomed to failure. With sea level rise, it will be impossible to keep salt water out of the Everglades. Every single map I've seen that depicts new coast lines with a sea level rise shows the Everglades completely underwater.

The thing about always having room for #dessert isn't about actually having a "dessert pouch"; it's much more about a different #flavor experience (which is also why meals with varied dishes can be more satisfying).
As a side note, this is also an important difference between "eating until you're full" and "eating until you're satisfied" (which might actually be #eating more).

In two days we go to a rented beach house with our whole family to celebrate Christmas and my wife's birthday. Tonight we were invited to a dinner party with two other couples, and I just had a bad feeling about it – the last thing I want is to have COVID sneak into our group and ruin this trip, so I came up with an excuse.

Lo, today one of those friends woke up with a bad sore throat and so is canceling as well. He's hoping it's not strep; I'm hoping it's not COVID. Either way, I feel vindicated.

Thank you for your post.
It's good to know that people with common sense still inhabit our planet. Hopefully, they will prove they are the majority by becoming more vocal.

Among republicans and conservatives I don't believe common sense is very common.

10 Awesome Games You Can Play Right Now In Your Browser Without Installing Anything

The image shows a computer screen displaying multiple video game windows arranged in a grid-like fashion. In the foreground are various game interfaces, including a chessboard, a hexagonal tile game resembling Settlers of Catan, a Wordle word puzzle, and what appears to be a first person shooter. The background is dominated by the vibrant colours and designs of the games themselves, creating a visually stimulating and dynamic scene.
Sometimes you have the urge to play some video games, but you don’t have the right hardware with you. Perhaps you’re stuck at work or school, or you have a basic device like a Chromebook. The good news is that there are a lot of games out there where you need nothing more than a web browser to play.

Psychiatrische und psychotherapeutische Behandlungen sind vor allem eins: Begegnungen von Mensch zu Mensch. Damit Kliniken Menschen in Krisen qualitätsvoll behandeln können, ist eine entsprechende Personalausstattung notwendig.

Daher ist es gut, dass das Bundessozialgericht die ab 2026 geltenden Sanktionen bei Nicht-Einhaltung von Personaluntergrenzen bestätigt hat. Damit sind Anreize gesetzt, die Personalsituation zu verbessern. Richtig ist aber auch: Bei Fachkräftemangel wird es schwierig werden, alle Stellen entsprechend besetzen zu können.

an interesting thing about using an API to interact with an LLM rather than like a chat box in a browser is you get to see more clearly what is actually happening.

I have a mini-PC set up on my home LAN running an Ollama endpoint. if you send a basic cURL request as a JSON, it looks like this:
Peter Krupa mastodon (AP)
and the response looks like this. whoa!! what is happening here?? well, these models output one "token" (basically a word) at a time, based on the previous words. that's it. it's not thinking, it doesn't "know" the answer, it is literally a very, very sophisticated version of that game where you type a word into your phone and accept every subsequent autocomplete suggestion.
