Since mid-January, this Orange Pi Zero 3 has been searching for binary radio pulsars in Arecibo data via Einstein@Home. ~42k BOINC credits so far. ARM devices get BRP workunits keeping Arecibo's legacy alive, one work unit at a time. Passively cooled, zero maintenance.

✅ Got PyTorch XPU running on my Intel Arc A770 on Fedora 43. The key missing piece: you need both oneapi-level-zero (loader) AND intel-compute-runtime (driver) from the Fedora repos, plus source oneAPI's setvars.sh before launching Python. #PyTorch #IntelArc #Linux #Fedora #MachineLearning

How malicious AI swarms can threaten democracy The fusion of agentic AI and LLMs marks a new frontier in information warfare

The Next Frontier of Disinformation: Malicious AI Swarms

Unlike the rigid botnets of the past, swarms of LLM agents can coordinate continuously and autonomously, adapt to human feedback in real-time, and infiltrate communities to manufacture artificial consensus.

Tyre and Road Abrasion as the Biggest Source of Particulate Emissions in Road Traffic TU Graz study shows: Exhaust particles account for less than ten per cent of fine dust emissions from road traffic. Compliance with new air quality limits in 2030 will still be difficult to achieve.

🚗💨 Exhaust gases are no longer the most important emission factor from motor vehicles by far when it comes to particulate matter. This is shown by a large-scale study carried out by TU Graz for the FVV eV. in Germany.

It's frustrating that we are getting technologies that really will transform our lives, and we should be thinking carefully about what that means, but the possibility of thoughtful discussion is being squelched by a stream of soul-crushing visions and wild hyperbole coming from Silicon Valley.
