#Apple broke #Asahi #Linux booting on the #Macintosh with the new macOS beta, but apparently this will be fixed according to some #Mastodon account
#news: #Niantic (a spinoff from #In-Q-Tel funded #Keyhole, the Google Earth folks) is using 30 billion camera environmental scans from #Pokemon Go to train #AI for new #USA #weaponry #drones using aerial navigation software made by #Vantar (formerly Maxor)

#USA Pentagon’s #drone-dominance program “has published its Gauntlet I leaderboard, naming 11 companies set to receive orders for a combined 30,000 one-way attack drones worth up to $150 million” #drones #weaponry
#news: #photovoltaic #solar-energy “supplied 12.8% of [#USA] electricity in May even as #Trump boosts coal over clean #energy”, while coal was only 12.2% (and probably insignificant outside of electricity). Nice (minimally related stock) photo of #sheep grazing under #solar panels in Saltillo, Texas. “#Seia and Wood Mackenzie said solar and battery storage were practically the only energy resources being built in the first quarter, making up 91% of all new generating capacity [presumably in the US].” Sourced from #Ember but without a proper citation. #energy
#Ember on #USA #photovoltaic #solar-energy #energy compared to coal, gas, etc. #Solar finally nosed up over coal in May: 45.5TWh vs. 44.1TWh, which I guess is 61.2GW vs. 59.3GW. But nuclear is still at 63.5TWh/month and gas is at 132TWh/month. Wind is also 41TWh.
