@anna I always wondered where the Spanish open source is. Or French. I fail to believe everyone writes English FOSS.
And I am really sure it is me who fails here, I am sure those communities exist :) (NB: I did not search too much)
And here in Germany I see different stuff from young folks. Preference for nodejs and other stuff. Other things they deem important/interesting. I recall many young folks from 3d printing 10 years ago. So I feel it is just "other" projects that they focus on.
#OFFDEM will take place next to #FOSDEM next year. A small group of folks are gathering to organize a nice cosy family event again. Thanks to @how and @natacha and their teams for organizing the last ediitons.
Orga is slowly forming and it is an early stage announcement. So, if you want to join for orga, we will start soonish :)
@nemobis Nice! I know we have 10 MW Eletrolyzers now. And it was a "big step" And there is some debate whether Bremen is worth it, or going CCS.
Afaik the funding from the political side is a go, AMB just needs to decide.
Scaleup to ca 1GW of Electrolyzer capacity will be a challenge.
But there has been a breakthrough in efficiency from an australian company. They plan commercially rollout in 5 MW modular stacks this year, and seem to be on track.
It is pretty fascinating to see CO2 Emissions from Bremen, seeing that our steel production is about 58% of total of our city. That means, no, there is no way around it than to improve there.
Going all Hydrogen would require ca 1.5GW of Electrolysis capacity, best case only 800 MW. Europe has about 230 MW as I learned Tuesday.
Furnaces need to be renewed every so many decades. We have the window NOW. Arcelor Mittal operates two Blast Furnaces here.
a local guy running a company growing mushrooms on used coffee trying to source as much locally and going zero waste. Sorry the page is only German, but might be worth to auto translate :)
I will never give a group a point in a Hackathon that deals with disasters and talks in their pitch about a "product" that you can buy and potential many costumers.
Fuck you.
Here: Forest fires.
You lost all respect from me when you consider stuff that you build for disaster as a product and not a service. Terminology matters.
You just gave the impression that you would not support poor countries w/o subscription. In a fucking disaster. You allied with Disaster for money. Money over people.
There is good reason to use AI and ML in various settings, especially due to climate change.
Where? a good case is remote sensing. We have limited tools and data in temporal and spatial resolution. And yes, we need more data for various things. I just worked on "how to determine safe water intake bodies for fire fighting planes" and no, this is not trivial to know the depth at every position of a water body worldwide to ad hoc calculate it
We do not need chatGPT kind of shit. But we need certain data for various scenarios and no, many counties will do shit prior and will not be able to respond in a decent way when shit hits the fan. We need to do modelling, need to give them tools to help. A mouseclick to get water bodie candidates. Then double check whether assumptions were OK.
When shit hits the fan, we need automation and as real time information as possible. ML is needed with correction factors due to current data.
