How Florida quietly surpassed California in solar growth

cnbc.com Lisa Setyon Jeniece Pettitt 2025-12-20 09:00:01

Solar energy is booming across the U.S. and, for the first time, Florida is catching up to industry powerhouses Texas and California. Despite removing climate change from its official state policy in 2024, Florida added more utility-scale solar than California last year, with over 3 gigawatts of new capacity coming online. "This is not a fluke," said Sylvia Leyva Martinez, senior analyst at Wood Mackenzie. "Florida is now shaping national solar growth." The surge is being driven by utilities,

Hiding secret codes in light protects against fake videos

news.ycombinator.com Patricia Waldron 2025-12-20 08:40:27

Fact-checkers may have a new tool in the fight against misinformation. A team of Cornell researchers has developed a way to “watermark” light in videos, which they can use to detect if video is fake or has been manipulated. The idea is to hide information in nearly-invisible fluctuations of lighting at important events and locations, such as interviews and press conferences or even entire buildings, like the United Nations Headquarters. These fluctuations are designed to go unnoticed by humans

Tom Holland Just Gave Us a Proper Look at the ‘Brand New Day’ Spider Suit

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-12-20 05:35:12

Friday was Spider-Man Day (maybe), and to mark the occasion, Sony teased the hero’s new suit for his next movie, Brand New Day. Now, Tom Holland’s gone and shown the full thing. Most of it, at least. On his Instagram, the actor released a video this morning of him walking into a room, stepping into the light to display the new costume in its full glory as a new version of Michael Giacchinno’s Spider-Man theme plays. “We ready?” he asks to someone offscreen, before going off to shoot the movie.

Weather Model based on ADS-B

I recently bought an RTL-SDR dongle and an antenna to receive ADS-B messages. These are short packets of data, broadcast by every plane in the sky, to inform others of their position, heading, speed and other flight data. The transmission of these messages is mandatory for aircraft, as it prevents mid-air accidents. They are also unencrypted, which means anyone can listen to them.

Foundation is currently rolling out a third season stuffed full of dramatic resonance. We’ve always been fans of Demerzel, the ancient android played by the excellent Laura Birn, but season three has really elevated the character—even beyond that big season-two reveal that she’s been moving the chess pieces on behalf of the galaxy-ruling Empire for generations. That was a monumental bit of information. But this week’s episode, “The Stress of Her Regard,” dropped a bombshell that’s even more sta
