Perché è finalmente giunto il momento dell'energia geotermica


In passato, estrarre calore dalle profondità della Terra era pratico solo in luoghi ricchi di geyser come l'Islanda. Ma nuovi approcci potrebbero portarci sull'orlo di una rivoluzione energetica.

Hey, my first post here on Mastodon! Allow me to introduce myself! I am a hobbyist LEGO stop motion animator and aspiring storyteller! I like good stories focused on original concept as well as great stories around already established franchises (Sonic, etc.).

I hope to gain some traction on this new platform, and some new attention and feedback on my work as a whole!

Just for fun: here's p=0.99 and p=1.0. The last image clearly shows why you can't use direct light sampling alone and need to combine it with something else (uniform/brdf sampling/etc) via MIS or NEE:
in reply to Nikita Lisitsa

@Nikita Lisitsa Both are definitely moods, but they are a good demonstration of the difference between p=0.99 and p=1 even in other fields where statistics are involved. It isn't linear from p=0 to p=1.

Fixed the MIS implementation, now it converges to the same image as basic uniform direction sampling. Time for tests: 4 renders with different values of light sampling probability. p=0.25 seems to be the best, and reduces noise severely:
in reply to Nikita Lisitsa

@Nikita Lisitsa I note two things:
- Increased probability increase render time.
- Extreme values (0 and 0.75) look similar, while 0.25 has a very distinct feeling.

If you go for smoothness, p=0.25 is the best, and has much better performance than higher p values. If you go for roughness, p=0 would be the best as p=0.75 seems to be costly for a similar effect.

What does p=1 do?

🇪🇸🇺🇦 Zelensky: I met with His Majesty King Felipe VI of Spain. I am grateful to Spain for its sincere support of Ukraine in our fight against Russian aggression. We value all the assistance provided.



During Zelensky’s visit to Spain, defense companies showcased systems for drone countermeasures, turrets, UAVs, long-range radars, and munitions. While the tech looks solid, Ukraine’s own defense industry now matches, and in some areas, surpasses, such offerings.


In Pokrovsk agglomeration, Russian forces briefly held a building, cutting off a group of Ukrainian infantry. A swift airstrike request followed, Ukrainian Su-27s responded, dropping GBU-62 bombs.

🤬 Occupiers in Pokrovsk used civilians as “human shields”

The prosecutor’s office reports: at around 2:30 p.m. on November 10, the commander of a Russian military unit ordered his subordinates by radio to lead the detainees in front of him — a man, a woman, and a 13-year-old child — while clearing a residential area, effectively using them as a “human shield.”

The SBU has established that it was the 1st Motorized Rifle Battalion. The fate of the civilians is currently unknown.





🇺🇦🇪🇺 Ukraine briefed EU ambassadors on the fight against corruption in the energy sector.

"We called on partners to join the process and submit proposals for candidates, at the first stage - for the supervisory board of Energoatom," said Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko



🇺🇦❗️Russia has forcibly mobilized 46,327 Ukrainians from the temporarily occupied territories, said Secretary of the Coordination Headquarters, - Ukrinform

In the Donetsk region, the Russians mobilized 5,368 Ukrainians, in the Luhansk region - 4,650, in the Zaporizhzhia region - 560, in the Kherson region - 478. In Crimea, 35,272 people were mobilized, in Sevastopol - another 5,368.

16% of prisoners held in Ukrainian prisoner of war camps are citizens of Ukraine, of which 6% are Crimeans.



Greece and Ukraine will jointly produce advanced naval drones at Greek shipyards, likely at Skaramanga, according to Kathimerini. The drones, upgraded versions of Ukraine’s proven models, will be built with Greek and Ukrainian tech, including optics, electronics, and potentially munitions.


🛢️📉 Russia’s seaborne crude shipments retreated for a fourth week, compounding a slump in the country’s oil prices and shrinking revenues for the Kremlin to a two-and-a-half-year low of around $1.2 billion a week, - Bloomberg

The country shipped 3.36 million barrels a day in the four weeks to Nov. 16, down by about 90,000 from the equivalent period to Nov. 9 and the lowest since the end of August.



Russia’s seaborne crude exports fell to a 4-week average of 3.36 mb/d by Nov 16, the lowest since August. Gross export revenues dropped to ~$1.2 bn/week, weakest since April 2023. US sanctions on Rosneft & Lukoil, combined with lower prices, are curbing flows and delaying discharges in Asia.


#Poland prime minister Donald Tusk:

The perpetrators of the railway sabotage were two citizens of #Ukraine working for #Russia special forces who left to #Belarus via Terespol border crossing.


I must admit this is a smart move by FSB/GRU, because they kill two birds with one stone - conduct the sabotage and clearly signal to Europe that they do have sleeper agents, but also triggered the anti-Ukrainian sentiment thanks to the agents using Ukrainian passports.

P.S Tusk specifically said “citizens of Ukraine”, not “Ukrainians”



Coordinator of Ukraine’s POW Treatment HQ: Russia has forcibly mobilized over 46,000 Ukrainian citizens from occupied territories into its armed forces. As a result, approximately one in six captured Russian soldiers turns out to be a Ukrainian citizen.
