Power company hikes data center bills by 30%, cuts residential electricity costs by 1.3% — Oregon approves change through POWER Act, pushes developments using more than 20 Megawatts of power to pay their fair share

Residents no longer have to shoulder the costs of developing the grid to accommodate these large power users.

Columnist Ilyaz Nasrullah vannTrouw @ilyaz@mastodon.social doet een duit in het zakje over Constantijn van Oranje en zijn uitvoerige steunbetuiging op LinkedIn onder een post van Ali Niknam, die daarin bewust een feitelijke onjuistheid de wereld in helpt over een boek dat drie NRC-collega's over hem schreven. Volgt u het nog? Nasrullah: 'Alsof het in twijfel trekken van de integriteit van journalisten door een lid van het Koninklijk Huis niet al erg genoeg is, wist Constantijn ook nog het volgende te schrijven in zijn commentaar onder Niknams misleidende post: ‘Ik weet zeker dat je oordeel over jezelf harder en eerlijker is dan het boek’. Ja? Weet u dat zeker, Uwe Hoogheid?'

I abso-fucking-lutely knew it: Etsy won't let me close my shop until it is "brought into compliance", even though I clearly told them that I'm closing it because I don't want to do that. The tech world is so goddamn fucking exhausting. 🤮 #tech

Navier-Stokes lost in translation: Why Lean verification of AI autoformalisation does not guarantee correct natural language proofs

Autoformalisation is increasingly used to verify mathematical texts, including those generated by AI, as in OpenAI's announced proof of blow-up of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations. In this process, an AI system translates the text from a natural language (NL) into a formal language such as Lean. Once this translation is done, the argument expressed in the formal language can easily be mechanically verified. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate why this process may offer no confi

The Nobel Prize in physics goes to Francis Halzen, who figured out how to turn a cubic kilometer of Antarctic ice into an enormous neutrino detector. The resulting IceCube experiment is now studying extreme events across the universe. Remarkable, mind-expanding research. https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2026/press-release/ #science #tech #nature #Nobel
