Earth’s permafrost could soon release hidden ‘deep carbon,’ supercharging warming

I've seen a datapoint that an 8 hour business day with Claude is about 1 kUSD, so 20 business day month is some 20 kUSD. More with agentic AI.

If you're burning 20 kUSD/month on Claude and way more if you're using agentic AI it better be worth it.

Solar generates more energy than coal in US for 1st time

It's the most recent dataset "Energy Institute - Statistical Review of World Energy (2025) – with major processing by Our World in Data. “Share of primary energy consumption that comes from oil – Using the substitution method” [dataset]. Energy Institute, “Statistical Review of World Energy” [original data]." If you look at the historical data you'll notice that year over year changes are small. The reason coal is declining is because coal-intensive industrial processes have moved to other countries and because of the current transient natural gas glut due to oil fracking. This will not last.

The article talks about energy, while they mean just electricity generation. My graph was about primary energy demand.

He absolutely sounds like an AI. There might be a another AI in the comments, but I'm not bothering to dig deeper. Time the bubble pops, so that we're not forced wading ankle deep through slop.

Specifically for UK I have found this tracking resource https://ukoilwatch.com/-- no clue, how accurate it is. In general, we're supposed to see first physical shortages in July, though it will vary by country. Even if Hormuz traffic should resume tomorrow, the impact is already irreversible, and damaged infrastructure won't be fixed for years.

It's not gigabit if you've got 110 Mbit/s upstream.
