There's 107 square km of desertified land in #Binhe region, Ningxia province, China. Baofeng, a "new energy" company, became its manager.

First they planted alfalfa. Then they planted #solar, soon to be 1GW of it, and it's tall solar, 3m off the ground. Underneath that they planted goji berries.

Now, small wild animals like sparrows, hares and pheasants have come back. Land moisture evaporation is down by between 30 and 40%. #Agrivoltaics is a win-win proposition.

It’s quite possible that yesterday’s terrorist attack in Moscow could lead Russia to lift its moratorium on the death penalty. The head of the United Russia Party’s State Duma faction has vowed to “tackle” the issue. If lifted, it’s perhaps only a matter of time before Russia starts executing political prisoners again. https://ria.ru/20240323/kazn-1935330623.html

Mastodon Bird UI is now in version 2.0.0rc30. To this version I've been experimenting with the new 2024-03 v4.3.0-alpha.3 UI and @nileane Tangerine UI's compact header on mobile, thanks for the inspiration and shortcuts code-wise! :bunhdheart:

This version also includes some slight fixes, icons and other improvements.

The release v2.0.0 will be massive, but we're not there yet with Mastodon v4.3.0 and because I'm following the Mastodon mainline and there is no ETA, I'm taking it easy as well.

Available on the nightly branch: https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon-bird-ui/tree/nightly

Live demo (single column layout only): https://mementomori.social

@zachleat it’s a lot on the initial load, yes, but what you have to understand is that once all that is executed, it’s still slow.

Urban farming is a favorite #sustainability tactic – but research shows it’s 6x more carbon intensive than farming on a farm. How to reduce the carbon footprint?
1. Use recycled materials

3. Build for the long-term

As someone who quit a Third Circuit clerkship, I'll tell you that federal judicial clerks don't quit their jobs lightly, b/c the professional consequences are scary and real. That's less true now than it was when I quit back in the early 2000s. But multiple quitting clerks are a probable sign of either an abusive judge or a dysfunctional chambers, or both.

Putin says all terrorist suspects were apprehended en route for Ukraine, "where early reports indicate that a window had been prepared to cross the international border." Certainly looks like the Kremlin will blame Kyiv, presumably paving the way for more mobilization.

Wrote a Jupyter (cook|note)book that implements a Retrieval Augmented Generation (#RAG) system powered by #Elasticsearch and Gemma #LLM.

Inspired by MongoDB's cookbook (🙇🏻‍♂️) and mostly done as a learning/scoping exercise, but a twist is my notebook lets you easily toggle between different models and ES-doing-the-data/query-embedding (via ML nodes in your deployment) vs doing all of that yourself when ingesting/querying.
