Q&A: The climate impact of generative AI

January 13, 2025

Vijay Gadepally, a senior staff member at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, leads a number of projects at the Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center (LLSC) to make computing platforms, and the artificial intelligence systems that run on them, more efficient. Here, Gadepally discusses the increasing use of generative AI in everyday tools, its hidden environmental impact, and some of the ways that Lincoln Laboratory and the greater AI community can reduce emissions for a greener future. Q: What trends are you seeing……

The World’s Largest Cedar Bucket in Murfreesboro,...

January 13, 2025

With a capacity of 1,573 gallons, the world’s largest cedar bucket resides in the historically reproduced village of Cannonsburgh Village in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The bucket was originally built in 1887 as a promotional exhibit by the Tennessee Red Cedar Woodworks Company, and traveled to world’s fairs—including the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. Due to a 2005 fire, the bucket was partially destroyed. In 2011, it was rebuilt, and today it stands over 70 inches tall with a 6-foot-diameter base….

Escomb Church in Escomb, England

January 13, 2025

This tiny church is an historic highlight in an otherwise non-descript northeast English village. Built in the last quarter of the 7th century, and a place of worship ever since, it’s one of only three churches in the whole country to survive intact from the Anglo-Saxon period. Stones were carried a few miles from the abandoned Vinovia Roman fort and used in the church’s construction. The architecture reflects the skills of the contemporary builders and the need for defense……

Nanbu Town Dragon Tower in Nambu, Japan

January 13, 2025

Hidden away in a rural corner of Japan, this 100-foot-tall “dragon” comes complete with a gaping, toothy maw. What looks like the remnant of some long-lost theme park is in fact a playground for very lucky kids. This play area is so over the top, it’s the sort of thing that seems like it could only arise from the creative accounting department of a rural municipality department that just has to spend their budget by year end. The views from……

January 13, 2025

Adorning the lobbies of the historic Mountain States Telephone Building in Denver, Colorado, are the Art Deco murals painted by acclaimed Colorado muralist Allen Tupper True.

The Mountain States Telephone Building is considered to be one of the last Bell System Palaces. It is styled in the Gothic Revival style. More of True’s murals can be found throughout Denver, including at……

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Weaker winds and intense firefighting efforts over the weekend boosted containment of fires burning in and around Los Angeles, but the effects of the blazes on the entertainment world continue. Several projects and awards shows have been delayed, with the Producers Guild opting not to announce its nominations Sunday due to ongoing effects of the fire. Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, also announced she would not launch a Netflix lifestyles program until March. Celebrities and…

X-ray flashes from a nearby supermassive black...

January 13, 2025

One supermassive black hole has kept astronomers glued to their scopes for the last several years. First came a surprise disappearance, and now, a precarious spinning act. The black hole in question is 1ES 1927+654, which is about as massive as a million suns and sits in a galaxy that is 270 million light-years away. In 2018, astronomers at MIT and elsewhere observed that the black hole’s corona — a cloud of whirling, white-hot plasma — suddenly disappeared, before reassembling……

Giant Tobacco Pipe Monument in Saint Claude,...

January 13, 2025

You may not expect to see a giant smoking pipe sculpture as a centerpiece between flower gardens, but that’s exactly what you’ll find in the community of St. Claude, Manitoba. The pipe is 19-feet long, 5-feet tall, and weighs just over 400 pounds. It would take a lot of tobacco to fill this pipe’s bowl. So, why did the citizens of St. Claude decide to build a giant pipe back in 1984? Well, the first inhabitants of what’s now Saint……

Miss Laura’s Brothel Museum in Fort Smith,...

January 13, 2025

Miss Laura’s Social Club, tucked away in the town of Fort Smith, Arkansas, was once a “house of ill repute.” Today, it is the only former bordello listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1896, the beautiful Victorian baroque structure was initially known as the Riverfront Commercial Hotel. This gorgeous house still looks much as it did then, replete with a mansard roof, wrought iron and oeil-de-boeuf dormer windows, making it one of the most distinct……

Study shows how households can cut energy...

January 13, 2025

Many people around the globe are living in energy poverty, meaning they spend at least 8 percent of their annual household income on energy. Addressing this problem is not simple, but an experiment by MIT researchers shows that giving people better data about their energy use, plus some coaching on the subject, can lead them to substantially reduce their consumption and costs. The experiment, based in Amsterdam, resulted in households cutting their energy expenses in half, on aggregate —……

LOS ANGELES (AP) — People across Los Angeles have worked for years to increase the number of trees that shade the pavement, provide a respite for people and even clean some air pollution. They’ve confronted increasing drought, bad tree-trimming and objections from some neighbors who resent the leaves and sap. Now they wonder what January’s fires have done to their efforts.

ALTADENA, Calif. (AP) — The sight of celebrity mansions and movie landmarks reduced to ashes can make it seem like the wildfires roaring through the Los Angeles area affected a constellation of movie stars. But a drive through the charred neighborhoods around Altadena shows that the fires also burned through a remarkable haven for generations of Black families avoiding discriminatory housing practices elsewhere. They have been communities of racial and economic diversity, where many people own their own homes….
