“How can we better understand the dynamic feedbacks between the environment and society?
Socio-hydrology models are often built around the assumption that cities act as homogeneous entities, without capturing the variable capacity of communities with different underlying socioeconomic characteristics to respond to and recover from disasters.
In this study, [the authors] developed a disaggregated approach to model community-specific adaptive capacity, allowing [them] to examine how inequalities influence flood recovery and resilience. This framework provide[d] a basis for exploring hypotheses about the relationships between growth, inequality, and community resilience in the face of flood hazards.
[Their] results highlighted] the importance of considering community-level dynamics when developing flood mitigation and disaster response strategies that balance economic growth with equity. Many challenges remain in applying socio-hydrology models to real-world settings, but this work takes a step toward incorporating more realistic representations of socioeconomic inequality into human–water systems while preserving the generality and flexibility that make conceptual models useful…”

A stark choice and who benefits?
The choice between profit for the few at great social and environmental cost.
Or, a decent life with proper energy and water supplies for the majority.
Are data centers really necessary on the scale supposed?

Yes. I think the social cost is real and shouldn’t be brushed aside.
Leaving Meta can mean losing casual contact, invitations, groups, and people who simply won’t follow you elsewhere.
I don’t think the answer is to pretend that it doesn’t matter.
For me, the question is whether the cost of staying eventually outweighs the cost of leaving.
And that is something each of us has to decide for ourselves.

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@kdkorte/117048685899000807
Agree here. And it never was a cost play for any smart person. The cost argument is the worst own goal in the history of open source.
Especially since, after all, open source isn't excessively cheaper in many cases if one would operate it with all appropriate care and consideration for safety, compliance and future evolution.

@CelloMomOnCars That's STILL not good enough! What about #datacentres' use of #water? #Renewable #electricity used to #power datacentres isn't being used to power other things, so there is an #opportunity #cost involved, as well.

🔍 So, the "Cursor" #team decided to play #hide-and-seek with #cost #info, replacing it with "token amounts" that are about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. 🤦♂️ James is left wondering if it's just him, or if everyone else is also stuck in this new game of 'Where's Wallet-o?'. 🙃

On Instagram #Hipkins has stated several things he will do to reduce #cost of living. My response was: "Good start. But why restrict future options by stating that you will not do anything after the #election that you said before the election that you would not do? That could kill your chance of leading the next #governing #coalition."

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.
This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.Dwight David Eisenhower (1890-1969) American general, US President (1953-61)

“Why the increase?
Our understanding of climate risk is only as good as our understanding of our exposure to hazards. The better we can account for what is at risk, the better we can measure risk in a changing world.
In this new study [link above], [they] investigate[d] how damage to the building stock across the Arctic, a key impact of permafrost degradation, is underestimated because of underdeveloped exposure information. With National Science Foundation (NSF) supercomputers and 400 TB of Vantor satellite imagery, [they] detected building footprints across the Arctic and classified their use types using deep learning models. Then, using Polar Geospatial Center's ArcticDEM digital surface model, [they] estimated the total floor space of each residential building. This move from 2D to 3D representation of the building stock was the largest contributor to increased building damage.
Properly estimating this consequence is necessary for understanding the near future of the Arctic economy. Knowing the magnitude of damages is critical for sustaining the communities and livelihoods of more than 5 million people that call the Arctic home. There are also much broader implications. With the Arctic continuing to emerge as a strategic centerpiece in global affairs and the global economy, accurately quantifying the physical shocks to its built environment will allow researchers to more effectively represent the Arctic in global climate economic models. More precise international policymaking will also be enabled by these improvements.
Ultimately, this research highlights a similar challenge in completely different regions of the world (e.g., Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa) where exposure is constantly evolving alongside rapid population growth and urbanization. Building stock information can quickly become outdated as these changes occur; satellite remote sensing and AI are key players in keeping up with these changes and supporting data-driven disaster risk management…”

Hmm. We have seen how that works in the past. An incoming Tory (or even Nu Labour) government effectively gift the share (which BTW will be not generating any revenue).

A slew of compelling #openweight models have been released, with #DeepSeek V4 Flash, #GLM 5.2, #MiniMax M3, and #NVIDIA #Nemotron 3 Ultra emerging as the most significant. These models offer various advantages, including #cost effectiveness, #planning quality, #multimodal capabilities, and U.S.-built deployment options. Each model excels in specific areas, making them suitable for different use cases and organisational needs. https://openrouter.ai/blog/insights/the-open-weight-models-that-matter-june-2026/?AIagents.at #AIagent #AI #ML #NLP #LLM #GenAI
