Hello!! It's Joseph

 From Nature Nov 2025  sustainability  The rapidly increasing demand for generative artificial intelligence (AI) models requires extensive server installation with sustainability implications in terms of the compound energy–water–climate impacts. Here we show that the deployment of AI servers across the United States could generate an annual water footprint ranging from 731 to 1,125 million m3 and additional annual carbon emissions from 24 to 44 Mt CO2-equivalent between 2024 and 2030, depending on the scale of expansion. Other factors, such as industry efficiency initiatives, grid decarbonization rates and the spatial distribution of server locations within the United States, drive deep uncertainties in the estimated water and carbon footprints. We show that the AI server industry is unlikely to meet its net-zero aspirations by 2030 without substantial reliance on highly uncertain carbon offset and water restoration mechanisms. Although best practices may reduce emission...

Precipitation change  The demise of the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) and the rise of the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912) marked an epochal moment in Chinese and world history. Attention has been given to the North China droughts during 1627–1643 that destabilized the Ming Dynasty. However, there is little attention paid to how climate influenced the rise of a minority Manchu state in Northeast China and its conquest of the Ming. Here, we find that contrasting climate conditions between North and Northeast China persisted over a six-decade period (1581–1644), which diversely affected economic, societal, and political changes at the regional level. Five successive megadroughts ravaged North China, while relatively wet and mild climate conditions prevailed in the Manchu homeland of Northeast China. Furthermore, in the early decades of Manchu rule in North China (1645–1680), increased precipitation facilitated the Qing Dynasty’s consolidation. Reconstructions and climate model simulations reveale...

 已澄清為謠言 On January 12, 2018, a media communication meeting on the scientific interpretation of food safety hotspots was held in Beijing, organized by the Chinese Food Science and Technology Association with the guidance of the National Food and Drug Administration and the Chinese Association of Science and Technology, and co-sponsored by China Economic Network. World Health Organization (WHO) Food Safety Department Director Peter Ben Embarek, through video, clarified the rumor about "junk food" that consumers are highly concerned about. He stated that the World Health Organization (WHO) has never released a list titled "Top Ten Junk Foods." He emphasized that not all processed foods or fast food should be considered "junk food," as some processed foods that provide nutrition and convenience are also part of modern balanced diets. 2018年1月12日，由国家食品药品监督管理总局、中国科学技术协会指导，中国食品科学技术学会主办，中国经济网协办的2017年食品安全热点科学解读媒体沟通会在京举行。世界卫生组织（WHO）食品安全部主任彼得·本·恩巴瑞克（Peter Ben Embarek）...

Just too many misconceptions, out there in YouTube FB and Facebooks, like Sensor resolution is the same(S30 vs S30 pro)> No Field is 4 times bigger> does not mean better. More pixels mean sharper image > No. It depends on resolution. 3.99 vs 3.74 arcsec / pixel ( s30 vs s30 pro), and s50 is 2.39 / pixel Below are Field of view (FoV) on different common Messier objects Smallest rectangle is S50, middle one is S30, biggest rectangle is S30 pro. M31 Andromeda galaxy: M8: Veil Nebula: Lagoon nebula: Orion nebula: Leo triplets  Most reviews only mentioned the Pros and seldom any cons of the S30 pro.  Eg.  Most Messier objects occupy a smaller area,ook smaller on S30 pro Softness of the image(S30 pro vs S30) 4 times longer AI denoise processing time ( S30 pro vs S30) So, are you willing to pay $200 more for the pro($549 list price) version because of the (secondary) wide angle camera? Actually you easily do it with a astromidded DSLR and a tracker mount instead. Refere...
