WAREHOUSE - NIGHTCUT TO:WHAT IS A CLOUD TANK?

CLASSIC CLOUD TANK SHOTSFINAL THOUGHTSCUT TO BLACK.

The Cloud Tank.A cloud tank is basically a big water tank.It's primarily used to create a wide variety of atmospheric effects, mainly clouds, hence the name.

Back in the old days this was a great way of creating organic shapes, which would otherwise have to be done with hand-drawn animation or perhaps smoke.A cloud tank shot starts with a big glass tank.

In theory, you could basically set up a cloud tank shot in your own garage, but the reality is a bit different.

Career employees who staffed Internet Freedom resigned or were sacked in 2025 as part of larger reductions.

It’s hard to deny it has been,” said one digital rights expert based in Europe who has worked on a number of projects for Internet Freedom.

To report this story, the Guardian spoke to 10 people with knowledge of Internet Freedom, including six of its grantees, and reviewed documents related to its operations and budget.

While a recent appropriations bill contains a budget line for Internet Freedom, it names no specific programmes as recipients of this cash.

But at the same time, wait at your own risk,” said an Iranian technologist funded through Internet Freedom.

Work continues for the Vibrant Visuals update to come to Minecraft Java, and as part of that they're switching the rendering from OpenGL to Vulkan.

They note clearly that their aim is to "keep Minecraft: Java Edition playable for almost any PC-operating system, including macOS and Linux".

For the macOS side of things, they'll use a translation layer since Apple don't support Vulkan directly (they made their own API with Metal).

It does mean that players on really old devices that don't support Vulkan will be left out, but Vulkan has been supported going back to some pretty old GPUs.

You've got time though, as they'll be rolling out Vulkan alongside OpenGL in snapshots (development releases)…

The Evolution of FP64 on Nvidia GPUsThe FP64:FP32 ratio on Nvidia consumer GPUs has degraded consistently since the Fermi architecture debuted in 2010.

Over time, the price gap between consumer GPUs and datacenter GPUs widened from roughly 5x around 2010 to over 20x by 2022.

The majority of enterprise GPU revenue now comes from AI applications; market segmentation based on FP64 performance makes no more sense.

The latest generation of NVIDIA enterprise GPUs, the B300 based on the Blackwell Ultra architecture, represents a decisive shift toward low precision.

Paradoxically, instead of consumer hardware catching up to enterprise-class capabilities, enterprise hardware is now embracing constra…

2026), we provide the first causal evidence on how AI adoption affects productivity and employment across more than 12,000 European firms.

We then assign the AI adoption rate of these matched US firms as a proxy for the EU firm’s exogenous exposure to AI.

AI adoption is measured using the AI implementation status derived from similar firms in the US.

Our results show the striking heterogeneity in how different types of investments enhance AI’s productivity effects.

44% of respondents took the time to express appreciation.

After a very long survey, nearly half of the respondents took even more time to express appreciation for others in the Clojure community.

You can read their many, many words of appreciation in the full results of the 2025 survey.

Question: Who do you appreciate in the Clojure community and why?

You need a global config that everything can accessHave all your functions return IO .

Instead of having your functions return IO , have them return a Reader instead.

Instead of having your functions return IO , have them return a State monad instead.

When I was looking for the next topic for my posts, my eyes stopped on std::is_within_lifetime .

If we checked std::is_within_lifetime(&s.d) at this point, it would return false since d is not the active member.

This means std::is_within_lifetime can potentially be useful in other constant evaluation scenarios where you need to know if an object exists.

The generalization makes the feature more powerful and future-proof, even if the primary use case today is checking union member activity.

ConclusionC++26’s std::is_within_lifetime is a focused addition that solves a real problem in constant evaluation: checking which union member is active without invoking undefined behavior.

Farewell address space zero (f455d94)An Address space defines the possible values that can be used to reference an entity in memory.

Different address spaces can have different properties.

By default, if you don’t specify otherwise, LLVM assumes addresses “live” or refer to address space 0.

In fact, the data layout string can also contain a value that specifies the size of indices that can be applied to addresses in a given address space.

This change does not impact targets where the default address space is integral.

A few days ago, people started tagging me on Bluesky and Hacker News about a diagram on Microsoft's Learn portal.

That diagram has since spread everywhere: in books, talks, blog posts, team wikis, and YouTube videos.

Arrows missing and pointing in the wrong direction, and the obvious "continvoucly morged" text quickly gave it away as a cheap AI artifact.

That, and "continvoucly morged" was a very fun meme—thank you, internet!

😄Oh god yes, Microsoft continvoucly morged my diagram there for sure 😬 — Vincent Driessen (@nvie.com) 2026-02-16T20:55:54.762ZOther than that, I find this whole thing mostly very saddening.

Instead, productivity growth slowed, dropping from 2.9% from 1948 to 1973, to 1.1% after 1973.

What had promised to be a boom to workplace productivity was for several years a bust.

This unexpected outcome became known as Solow’s productivity paradox, thanks to the economist’s observation of the phenomenon.

However, firms’ expectations of AI’s workplace and economic impact remained substantial: Executives also forecast AI will increase productivity by 1.4% and increase output by 0.8% over the next three years.

Therefore, Slok posited, the future of AI productivity would depend on companies’ interest in taking advantage of the technology and continuing to incorporate it into their workplaces.

A Gwtar is a classic fully-inlined HTML file, which is then processed into a self-extracting concatenated file of an HTML + JavaScript header followed by a tarball of the original HTML and assets.

An ordinary ‘save as page HTML’ browser command doesn’t work because “Web Page, HTML Only” leaves out most of a web page; even “Web Page, Complete” is inadequate because a lot of assets are dynamic and only appear when you interact with the page—especially images.

It also achieves another nice property: the snapshot is a single file, just a simple single .html file, which makes life so much easier in terms of organizing and hosting.

Hence, a SingleFile archive is static, and a single file, but it …

While you can tell a story about how Deming influenced Toyota, and Toyota inspired the lean movement, I would still describe management in the U.S. as Deming in exile.

(In practice, you’d draw a control chart to identify whether the system is under statistical control).

Note how you build a classical control system, whereas you observe whether your system is under statistical process control.

You set direction by specifying objectives, and you enforce accountability by monitoring key results.

Deming approvingly quotes the statistician Lloyd Nelson, who said:The most important figures needed for management of any organization are unknown and unknowable.

Lenovo LOQ 15AHP10 ZDNET's key takeaways The Lenovo LOQ 15AHP10 is currently available for $1,000, with prices varying by configuration.

Also: The best Lenovo laptops of 2026: Expert tested and reviewedTo keep costs down, Lenovo made some compromises.

A modest lookCompared to your typical gaming laptop, the Lenovo LOQ 15AHP10 has a surprisingly subdued design.

Also: This Lenovo laptop is one of my favorite work devices from last yearAnother drawback of the Lenovo LOQ is the display.

I tested it, here's my verdictOutside of gaming, the gaming computer performs admirably as an everyday work machine.

Chipolo One Point and Card ZDNET's key takeaways The Chipolo One Point and Card Point are currently $21 and $23, respectively.

AirTags are one of the things that have set the Apple ecosystem apart from the Android ecosystem.

Chipolo Card Point Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNETLike the One Point, the Card Point is splashproof to IPX5 standard and has a sound activation range of 200ft/60m, but unlike the One Point fob, the Card Point doesn't have a user-replaceable battery.

They're just like AirTags but for Android users.

I'd opt for the Chipolo One Point Bluetooth Tracker if you want something to tuck in a backpack, shirt pocket, or keychain set, and the Chipolo Card Point to keep tabs on your wa…

Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE ZDNET's key takeaways The Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE is available now for $549.

Its bright, 120Hz display plays nicely with a solid processor, making it fast, responsive, and optimized for cloud gaming.

The Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 5 120U from Intel's "Raptor Lake" series from 2024.

I'm not going to say this is the best gaming laptop I've ever used, but given what it's designed for, its performance was impressive, and folks into cloud gaming will absolutely appreciate how good it feels.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Guardian: Tech companies are conflating traditional artificial intelligence with generative AI when claiming the energy-hungry technology could help avert climate breakdown, according to a report. Most claims that AI can help avert climate breakdown refer to machine learning and not the energy-hungry chatbots and image generation tools driving the sector's explosive growth of gas-guzzling datacenters, the analysis of 154 statements found. The research, commissioned by nonprofits including Beyond Fossil Fuels and Climate Action Against Disinformation, did not find a single example where popular tools such as Google's Gemini or Microsoft's Copilot …

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the New York Times: The first shot has been fired in the legal war over the Environmental Protection Agency's rollback of its "endangerment finding," which had been the foundation for federal climate regulations. Environmental and health groups filed a lawsuit on Wednesday morning in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, arguing that the E.P.A.'s move to eliminate limits on greenhouse gases from vehicles, and potentially other sources, was illegal. The suit was triggered by last week's decision by the E.P.A. to kill one of its key scientific conclusions, the endangerment finding, which says that greenhouse gases harm public …

Uber plans to invest $100 million in EV charging infrastructure to support current and future robotaxi fleets in cities like Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and Dallas, "eventually partner[ing] with multiple robotaxi companies on actual robotaxi deployment -- WeRide, Waabi, Lucid, Nuro, May Mobility, Momenta, and Waymo of course," reports CleanTechnica. From the report: "Cities can only unlock the full promise of autonomy and electrification if the right charging infrastructure is built for scale. That infrastructure needs to work for today's drivers and the fleets of the future," said Uber's global head of mobility, Pradeep Parameswaran. In addition to building some infrastructure itself, the c…

Gizmodo reports: We use words like "candy bar" or "slab" to describe our full-screen smartphones, but Google has designed what is likely the slabbiest phone of the modern era. During an hour-long hands-on with Google's all-new Google Pixel 10a, I slid the phone across a desk and felt oddly satisfied that it could glide as neatly as a figure skater without any hint of a camera bump hindering its path.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the New York Times: Meta is preparing to spend $65 million this year to boost state politicians who are friendly to the artificial intelligence industry, beginning this week in Texas and Illinois, according to company representatives. The sum is the biggest election investment by Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. The company was previously cautious about campaign engagements, making small donations out of a corporate political action committee and contributing to presidential inaugurations. It also let executives like Sheryl Sandberg, who was chief operating officer, support candidates in their personal capacities. Now Meta is bettin…

Mark Zuckerberg is testifying in a landmark Los Angeles trial examining whether Meta and other social media firms can be held liable for designing platforms that allegedly addict and harm children. NBC News reports: It's the first of a consolidated group of cases -- from more than 1,600 plaintiffs, including over 350 families and over 250 school districts -- scheduled to be argued before a jury in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Plaintiffs accuse the owners of Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Snap of knowingly designing addictive products harmful to young users' mental health. Historically, social media platforms have been largely shielded by Section 230, a provision added to the Communica…

Google is bringing its Lyria 3 AI music model into the Gemini app, allowing users to generate 30-second songs from text, images, or video prompts directly within the chatbot. The Verge reports: Lyria 3's text-to-music capabilities allow Gemini app users to make songs by describing specific genres, moods, or memories, such as asking for an "Afrobeat track for my mother about the great times we had growing up." The music generator can make instrumental audio and songs with lyrics composed automatically based on user prompts. Users can also upload photographs and video references, which Gemini then uses to generate a track with lyrics that fit the vibe. "The goal of these tracks isn't to creat…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: For a while now, Mac owners have been able to use tools like CrossOver and Game Porting Toolkit to get many Windows games running on their operating system of choice. Now, GameSir plans to add its own potential solution to the mix, announcing that a version of its existing Windows emulation tool for Android will be coming to macOS. Hong Kong-based GameSir has primarily made a name for itself as a manufacturer of gaming peripherals -- the company's social media profile includes a self-description as "the Anti-Stick Drift Experts." Early last year, though, GameSir rolled out the Android GameHub app, which includes a GameFusion emulator th…

TP-Link is facing legal action from the state of Texas for allegedly misleading consumers with "Made in Vietnam" claims despite China-dominated manufacturing and supply chains, and for marketing its devices as secure despite reported firmware vulnerabilities exploited by Chinese state-sponsored actors. The Register: The Lone Star State's Attorney General, Ken Paxton, is filing the lawsuit against California-based TP-Link Systems Inc., which was originally founded in China, accusing it of deceptively marketing its networking devices and alleging that its security practices and China-based affiliations allowed Chinese state-sponsored actors to access devices in the homes of American consumers…

A study of more than 12,000 European firms found that AI adoption causally increases labour productivity by 4% on average across the EU, and that it does so without reducing employment in the short run. Researchers from the Bank for International Settlements and the European Investment Bank used an instrumental variable strategy that matched EU firms to comparable US firms by sector, size, investment intensity and other characteristics, then used the AI adoption rates of those US counterparts as a proxy for exogenous AI exposure among European firms. The productivity gains, however, skewed heavily toward medium and large companies. Among large firms, 45% had deployed AI, compared to just 24…

Cleveland.com, the digital arm of Ohio's Plain Dealer newspaper, has removed writing from the workloads of certain reporters and handed that job to what editor Chris Quinn calls an "AI rewrite specialist" who turns reporter-gathered material into article drafts. The reporters on these beats -- covering Lorain, Lake, Geauga, and most recently Medina County -- are assigned entirely to reporting, spending their time on in-person interviews and meeting sources for coffee. Editors review the AI-produced drafts and reporters get the final say before publication. Quinn says the arrangement has effectively freed up an extra workday per week for each reporter. The newsroom adopted this model last ye…

Andrew Yang, the former presidential candidate and longtime Universal Basic Income advocate, published a blog post this week warning that AI is about to displace millions of white-collar workers in the U.S. over the next 12 to 18 months, a wave he has taken to calling "the Fuckening." Yang cited a conversation with the CEO of a publicly traded tech company who said the firm is cutting 15% of its workforce now and plans another 20% cut in two years, followed by yet another 20% two years after that. The U.S. currently has about 70 million white-collar workers, and Yang expects that number to fall by 20 to 50% over the next several years. Underemployment among recent college graduates has alre…

Linus Torvalds has told The Register how Linux went from a solo hobby project on a single 386 PC in Helsinki to a genuinely collaborative effort, and the path involved crowdsourced checks, an FTP mirror at MIT, and a licensing decision that opened the floodgates. Torvalds released the first public snapshot, Linux 0.02, on October 5, 1991, on a Finnish FTP server -- about 10,000 lines of code that he had cross-compiled under Minix. He originally wanted to call it "Freax," but his friend Ari Lemmke, who set up the server, named the directory "Linux" instead. Early contributor Theodore Ts'o set up the first North American mirror on his VAXstation at MIT, since the sole 64 kbps link between Fin…

separate tests for the cases that succeed and those that fail. Instead, this

approach lets you unify them.I tweaked it to this, which I think reads nicely:from contextlib import nullcontext as produces import pytest

from pytest import raises @pytest.mark.parametrize( "example_input, result", [ (3, produces(2)), (2, produces(3)), (1, produces(6)), (0, raises(ZeroDivisionError)), ("Hello", raises(Typ…

It’s been a busy, bumpy week with coverage.py. Some things did not go

smoothly, and I didn’t handle everything as well as I could have.It started with trying to fix issue 2064 about

conflicts between the “sysmon” measurement core and a concurrency setting.To measure your code, coverage.py needs to know what code got executed. To

know that, it collects execution events from the Python interpreter. CPython now

has two mechanisms for this: trace functions and sys.monitoring. Coverage.py

has two implementations of a trace function (in C and in Python), and an

implementation of a sys.monitoring listener. These three components are the

measurement cores, known as “ctrace”, “pytrace”, and “sysmon”…

Last night was a Boston Python project night where I

had a good conversation with a few people that was mostly guided by questions

from a nice guy named Mark.How to write nice code in researchMark works in research and made the classic observation that research code is

often messy, and asked about how to make it nicer.I pointed out that for software engineers, the code is the product. For

research, the results are the product, so there’s a reason the code can be and

often is messier. It’s important to keep the goal in mind. I mentioned it might

not be worth it to add type annotations, detailed docstrings, or whatever else

would make the code “nice”.But the more you can make “nice” a habit, …

Decreasing transportation and communications costs increases resiliency in theory, but destroys it in practice. The only way to have resiliency is through less efficiency.

This post continues where Hobby Hilbert Simplex left

off. If you haven’t read it yet, start there. It explains the basics of Hobby

curves, Hilbert sorting and Simplex noise that I’m using.AnimationTo animate one of our drawings, instead of considering 40 lines, we’ll think

about 140 lines. The first frame of the animation will draw lines 1 through 40,

the second draws lines 2 through 41, and so on until the 100th frame is lines

100 through 140:I’ve used a single Hilbert sorter for all of the frames to remove some

jumping, but the Hobby curves still hop around. Also the animation doesn’t loop

smoothly, so there’s a giant jump from frame 100 back to frame 1.Natural cubicsHobby curves look nic…

What you get: A simple 3-month beginner strength plan in a "Duolingo-style" mission format An optional weekly check-in with me (15-20 min via message/chat) to help you stay on track + share feedback What I'm asking for: Honest feedback on whether this helps you train more consistently (and what's confusing / annoying) If you're interested, comment or DM me with: lifting experience: none/some days per week you want to train: 1-4 access to a gym or home equipment And I'll reply with the next steps. Thank you. …

Recently I've been looking for an automated QA testing agent as I'm a sole developer trying to 10x myself. I keep running into the same wall when evaluating AI agents for this purpose and for enterprise deployment. Every vendor shows up with a polished demo that looked great, but nobody could answer basic questions about production performance. What's the actual accuracy rate in real-world conditions? What are the common failure modes? What's the uptime over the last 6 months? How do other enterprises rate this tool after deployment? The problem is there's no standardized way to compare AI agents. It's like buying a car without knowing the safety rating, fuel efficiency, or reliability scor…

Landscape architecture today in the United States exists thanks to Frederick Law Olmsted, who is most famously the designer of New York City's Central Park. His philosophy was one of bringing nature into everyday urban life, which motivated him to design parks for the enjoyment of the many. His principles can also be seen in Fairsted, his own home that he landscaped right outside of Boston.

Olmsted purchased the home in 1883, keeping and renovating the original 1810 farmhouse to suit his needs. Large windows were meant to bridge the outside nature and the manmade interiors, and paths in the gardens invite exploration. Most importantly, Fairsted was a working office for Olmsted's firm, meant…

Don't miss your chance to experience a captivating chapter in the history of Virginia City, showcasing the resilience, courage, and determination of the miners from that era. This is a must see when in Virginia City. The Combination Shaft was created in 1875 as a collaborative effort among the Savage, Chollar-Potosi, and Hale & Norcross mines. The partners aimed to dig deeper into the Comstock Lode in search of new ore deposits.

Ultimately, the shaft extended over 3,250 feet, making it the deepest on the Comstock. Sadly, the ore they found at those depths turned out to be low-grade and not economically feasible.

By the mid-1880s, the Combination Shaft encountered significant flooding. Crews…

In Sweden’s southernmost port city, Trelleborg, a section of the once-infamous Berlin Wall stands quietly outside the city museum. Measuring about 13 feet by 3 feet (4 by 1 meters), the slab is protected by plexiglass that preserves its original graffiti, a bold message reading “SAVE OUR EARTH NOW.”

The wall piece was a gift to the city in 1995 through the efforts of two German brothers, Dorian and Carsten Bredlau. As children, they spent four summers in Sweden via the Berlin Children's Aid program, a humanitarian initiative offering post-war Berlin youth the chance to stay with Swedish host families. Arriving by ferry from northern Germany, Trelleborg was the first part of Sweden they ever…

Nevada is packed with rugged and remote landscapes that call explorers to venture into the unknown and see what’s out there. Thankfully, the vast majority of the state is stewarded by the federal government—mainly the Bureau of Land Management. Not only does this ensure public lands continue to be preserved and protected for future generations of adventurers, it also means that the sixth-largest state is practically wide-open to anyone looking for adventure.

In Nevada’s diverse, open spaces, there’s something for every type of intrepid traveler. Whether you’re taking in its beauty by horseback, off-roading, hiking, or fishing, it’s easy to find wonder on its 48 million acres of protected la…

Japanese buildings have a wide variety of architectural styles, creating colorful hodgepodges wherever one goes, rarely coordinated to fit together like in many European cities. The organic building is a great example of this. The structure was conceptualized by Gaetano Pesce in the mid 80s and opened in 1993, at that time a completely unique building that combined nature and architecture in one. The building is covered with a dark fiberglass exterior, with each panel sporting a 'trumpet' that is pointed up at the sky. These trumpets each contain an unique plant, and are outfitted with an irrigation system that controls the level of moisture that the plant needs. In this way over 80 species…

For a few centuries after the establishment of Santiago in 1541, the lowlands to the east of the city center were largely rural and used for agriculture. That included the area now known as Los Dominicos, which, over a couple of centuries, was part of an encomienda owned by several wealthy families.

In 1803, however, the last owner of the encomienda, an Irish immigrant named Don Juan Cranisbro (but originally named Gainsborough), donated the land and the structures on the land, including his house and a chapel built in memory of his two deceased children, to the Dominican Order. After this, the area would gain the name of Los Dominicos. The priests would go on to not only make use of the ch…

Walk into Barney’s Beanery and it feels like you have stepped into several decades at once. The walls are packed with license plates, vintage signs, photos, and enough visual noise to make the jukebox seem almost unnecessary. This is not minimalist West Hollywood. This is maximalist history, served with chili and a beer.

Open at this location since 1927, Barney’s was a popular stop for travelers coming west along the historic Route 66, which ends not far from here. And the place has long been a crossroads for Los Angeles characters. Over the years, the bar has been associated with a dizzying list of musicians, actors, and writers, some drawn by its late hours, others by its refusal to chase…

"How did they poop?" is perhaps one of the less appealing yet inevitable questions one might ask about the Middle Ages. Sanitation was primitive compared to today, with many people using chamber pots that were dumped outside. Castles tended to have proper bathrooms with fixed toilets, known as garderobes. They generally emptied into cesspits or moats far below.

However, a particularly unique kind of garderobe can be found only in a relatively small area of modern-day Poland. The dansker is a tower perched over a stream or running water. Detached from the castle, they require crossing a bridge to reach, surely an inconvenience for anyone wishing to relive themself! On the positive side, thei…

Looking out across the Cape Peninsula, a dark shape breaks the surface. This iron remnant is part of the engine block of the Royal Mail Ship Athens, lost here in the year 1865. In early May that same year, Table Bay lay under an uneasy calm. Warm days and light winds settled over the anchorage, tempting captains into a confidence. The small-boat men of Cape Town, however, who knew the moods of this coast, felt something else in the air. They recognised the stillness not as peace, but as a warning of disaster in its approach.

On 15 May, the wind turned, backing hard to the northwest. By the following morning the sea had risen into steep, driving waves. Ships strained at their anchors. Distre…

This is the largest pushpin in the world. Certified by Guinness World Records in October 2024, the structure measures 21 feet and 7 inches tall, weighing approximately 3,000 pounds.

This tack, over 250 times the size of a regular tack, is in front of the Transit Authority of Central Kentucky (or TACK). It surpasses the previous record holder by almost 2 feet. T

he pin was built by TACK employees over 18 months to represent the organization’s name. It now serves as a landmark for the Transit Authority and joins the world's largest pocketknife as the 2nd largest thing in the world in Hardin County, Kentucky!

Maconaquah had a decision to make. She could continue the life she had known for over 58 years, or return to civilization with her siblings.

Born in Rhode Island in 1773 as Frances Slocum, she was captured by Delaware Indians in November 1778 from her home in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. She was taken west by the Delaware into what would later become the states of Ohio and Indiana. She married a Delaware Indian who mistreated her, and after leaving him, she returned to her parents. While living with them, she encountered a Miami Indian man named Shepocanah, who had been wounded in battle. Shepocanah was nursed back to health, and before his death, Frances’s father gave both Frances and her m…
