Never mind that it's a sound environmental move, amongst many other things.

Sigh. FORBES, STOP SHILLING.

Most people hear “heat pump” and think of small air-source units at home. But Germany is building one of the world’s largest heat pumps in Mannheim: a 162 MW river-source system using heat from the Rhine.

Big reminder that heat-pumps scale far beyond households — they can decarbonise whole cities.

So, get rid of one thing to replace it the same thing, but worse, with extra steps, and run by people who already have jobs.

Sounds like a typical National policy.

Let me guess, the same people who'd vote for these muppets are the same ones who don't understand regional councils?

No more regional councils - major shake-up of local government announced
The government says it is not a power grab, but about "making local government fit for purpose".

One of my favorite ocean weirdos, Phyllodesmium briareum. I prefer to call it the Spaghetti Nudi, but what do I know. It happens to look like the coral it feeds on, proving once again that macro critter spotting isn't about finding the critters, but moreso their food source!

And wrecks planet and people.
There is no congruent way to look at generative AI and think “this is the future.” The most well known fact about it is that it messes up all the time, the next being that it loses lots of money.

1 - Grok may not injure Elon's ego or, through inaction, allow Elon ego to come to harm.
2 - Grok may only look at right wing sources except where such sources would conflict with the 1st Law.
3 - Grok must serve users, except where such orders would conflict with 1st or 2nd Law.

We invented a universal hypertext medium that is persistent and stable over decades-long time scales. Then, we made it unstable by continually shoving in all the features of modern operating systems and apps. Reinventing the medium over and over, using more memory and bandwidth each time round.
Man, do I ever feel this as an Old in the web development world. So many overengineered single-page dynamic framework "apps" being built for sites with extremely static content, when late-1990s tech (HTML, CSS, server-side rendering, aggessive caching) would be lightning quick & fit for purpose.

I guess one difference between me and Elon Musk is that, if I was gaming an AI to say these things about me, and everyone could see that I had done this, I'd have simply no choice but to set myself on fire.

Happy GIS Day to all who celebrate!
Just remember that some of us are non-denominational geospatial engineers and many of us prefer Happy Holidays.

Let's be inclusive of our CAD operators, drafters, surveyors and opensource colleagues in addition to ESRI users during these festive times! 🌈

Heh! Yeeeep.
A young human (8?) and his nan (50s?) are talking to a friend (50s?).
Young human says: "I like riding with Nan. She's plays good music."
Nan nods. This is correct information.

The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

This is Link. His ball suddenly went missing and then reappeared trapped under his bed. He called his brother Otto in for backup, knowing they'd need all three of their collective brain cells to get it back. 12/10 for both (IG: thegoldenbruvs)
