Amazon backs power plant that may become top source of US climate pollution

Amazon backs power plant that may become top source of US climate pollution

đź’Ą Check out this awesome post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: âś… **What You’ll Learn**: The NAACP has argued that xAI’s reliance on gas turbines has only grown the longer the facility has operated, “growing from 18 to 27 to 33 to, now, 60 unpermitted gas turbines,” while “Memphis area communities were left to piece together the pollution threat for themselves.” So far, despite being the supposedly fast and easy solution, gas turbines aren’t widely used yet. According to Cleanview, xAI accounts for most of the 2 GW behind-the-meter generation capacity running as of mid-2026. Some of these projects…

Fair PlayStation actie – Stichting Massaschade & Consument

🔥 Explore this insightful post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: đź’ˇ **What You’ll Learn**: "Goede actie. Hopelijk werkt het en word de oneerlijke marktpositie aangepakt."– Cees"Ik vind dat Sony een behoorlijke positie in neemt. Je kan namelijk nergens anders PS games kopen dan in hun eigen store, waar de prijzen vaak 20,- tot 25,- hoger liggen dan in fysieke winkels. Belachelijk. Apple moet alles openstellen van de EU maar Sony kan rustig z’n gang gaan? Vreemd."– Stef"Als signaal richting Sony dat ze niet ongestraft een oneerlijke prijs kunnen (blijven) vragen voor een digitaal product waarbij de kosten beduidend lager…

Rust SIMD on the GPU

🚀 Explore this awesome post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: đź’ˇ **What You’ll Learn**: At VectorWare, we are building the first GPU-native software company. Today, we are excited to announce that we can successfully use Rust's portable SIMD (core::simd) on the GPU. This milestone marks a significant step towards our vision of enabling developers to write complex, high-performance applications that leverage the full power of GPU hardware using familiar Rust abstractions. Parallelism below the thread When we brought Rust threads to the GPU, we mapped each std::thread to a GPU warp. This let us run many concurrent threads on…

Learning more about Claude’s mathematical capabilities \ Anthropic

🚀 Explore this must-read post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: đź’ˇ **What You’ll Learn**: Recently, a member of staff at Anthropic gave Claude an unreasonable challenge. It was about one of the most famous unsolved problems in mathematics: Take a real stab at the Riemann hypothesis.Claude did take a real stab, but as you might have expected if you’re familiar with the difficulty of the task (the Riemann hypothesis dates back to 1859 and has a million-dollar bounty), it didn’t succeed. Nevertheless, during its attempt, it unexpectedly made strides on a related problem.An unreleased research version of Claude has…

xoreaxeaxeax/smiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii: A very very very very very very very long interrupt · GitHub

✨ Read this trending post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: âś… **What You’ll Learn**: Exploiting System Management Mode with a very very very very very very very long interrupt. It turns out that you can break SMM — the secure, ultra privileged execution environment running invisibly in the background of every x86 CPU — with nothing more than an obscenely long-running machine instruction. SMM requires that all cores are either in SMM or out of SMM at the same time. Its security model doesn't work without this - when one thread enters SMM, it makes all the others enter…

Defending my own brain against enshittification – Mr. Market

✨ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: đź’ˇ **What You’ll Learn**: 10 Aug, 2026 If you haven't had Belvita breakfast cookies, you have probably had Biscoff cookies, which are similar. These are a classic airline snack. You've probably had one along with a Coke with ice in a plastic cup, and thought to yourself, 'these cookies suck.' That is a fair assessment. I'm not talking about Biscoff, though. Those are Belvita breakfast cookie's sweeter counterpart. I'm talking about Belvita because they are more subtle in flavor, less texturally satisfying, and thinner/more brittle. I mentioned in…
