We've been working on this project for a few months now and it looks like we'll soon come to an end. A heap of complex connections, a bit of concrete and paint later, we are nearing completion.

An diesem Projekt bauen wir nun bereits einige Monate und es sieht dannach aus das wir bald zu einem Ende kommen. Ein haufen komplexter Verbindungen bisschen Beton und Lack später sind wir kurz der Fertigstellung

"#AI continues to improve – at least according to benchmarks. But the promised benefits have largely yet to materialize while models are increasing in size and becoming more computationally demanding, and #greenhouse gas #emissions from AI training continue to rise."

The Register · Billions pour into AI as emissions rise - returns stay pitiful, say Stanford boffinsBy Dan Robinson

This weekend I worked out a power thing and got the little pump working that I originally bought for the riparium. We
got a porcelain fish bowl at an estate sale and I thought it would be great for a constant source of moisture for the greenhouse.

There are a couple of large lava rocks inside, so that I can start to plant some aquatic stuff and maybe add some snails. It is big enough for some small fish, but after the raccoon episode I am not quick on getting new outdoor fish.

“The #Coalition (#LNP, #Liberal, #Nationals) is refusing to say if it will introduce any #policies to cut #Australia’s #greenhouse #gas #emissions in the next decade as it pledges to #unwind most #ClimateMeasures introduced under #Labor.

#PeterDutton’s position on the #ClimateCrisis came under scrutiny last week after he gave contradictory answers on whether he accepted mainstream climate science. Asked during a leaders’ debate on the #ABCAustralia whether #ExtremeWeather events were worsening, the opposition leader said: “I don’t know because I’m not a #scientist”.”

Say IT AS IT IS.

The #LNP under the leadership of the #PeterDutton has no policies. Policy changes are random.

Buying carbon credits to fight climate change? Here’s what to know

#CarbonCredits sold on the voluntary market are under scrutiny for not offsetting #Greenhouse#Gas emissions as claimed.

One investigation concluded that over 90 percent of carbon credits issued for #rainforest protection by the largest carbon credit certification body “had no benefit to the climate.” Two reports published in 2023 found that credits for forest-based projects in North America, South America, Africa and Asia may in fact #increase net #emissions
