The World’s Largest Solar Plant is Rising in Tibet. It's So Vast It's the Size of Chicago
A desert covered in solar panels and sheep could mark the beginning of the end for coal in China.
“Warp Drive: Scientists Say a Physical Warp Drive Is Now Possible”
Possible? Still requires huge amount of energy, but at least we dodged the negative energy thing.
Oh, and not faster than light … still …

A Physical Warp Drive Was Supposed to Be Impossible. Then These Scientists Found a Loophole.
Humans are one (small) step closer to traveling at faster-than-light speeds.

Vibe coding service Replit deleted production database
: AI ignored instruction to freeze code, forgot it could roll back errors, and generally made a terrible hash of things
