@NFTCPS: Brothers, this website is something else. It directly moved the entire global power grid into the browser, free to view, insane. Open it up and you get a live map: 120,000+ power plants, densely packed; 2.7 million transmission lines, like blood vessels; 800,000+ substations. Not only that, data centers, natural gas pipelines, submarine cables, flood zones are all marked. Previously this kind of data was only available internally at research institutions, now a browser handles it all. In the AI era, the information gap is truly being flattened. I suggest everyone go take a look. http://opengridworks.com/power-plants

Folks, this website is actually pretty impressive — it literally puts the entire global power grid into your browser. Free to view. Crazy.
Open it up and you get a live map:
- 120,000+ power plants, densely packed
- 2.7 million transmission lines, like blood vessels
- 800,000+ substations
And there’s more: data centers, natural gas pipelines, submarine cables, flood zones — all marked up.
Previously, this kind of data was only available inside research institutions. Now a browser handles it all. The information gap in the AI era is really being flattened. I suggest everyone take a look.

@SunLau_: Sharing a site I've been obsessed with for two days — OpenRailwayMap. Recently I've been following the progress of the Tongsu-Jiayong high-speed railway and found it by accident. It has been online since 2013 and, through continuous updates, now covers mainstream rail transit networks worldwide (including trams, subways, conventional and high-speed trains, etc.). Lines under construction are also drawn based on public information. Based on the selected...

@aigclink: Microsoft open-sourced an AI foundation model for power systems: GridSFM, designed to accelerate research on AC optimal power flow in the power industry. GridSFM uses graph neural networks to approximate AC-OPF solving, treating the power grid as a graph, directly predicting near-optimal operating points, and then using them as warm-start initial values for traditional exact solvers to speed up convergence...
Microsoft open-sourced GridSFM, an AI foundation model for power systems. It uses graph neural networks to approximate AC-OPF solving, is topology-agnostic, and can serve as a warm start for exact solvers achieving a 1.45x speedup, while also providing feasibility classification capabilities.
@XAMTO_AI: Damn, just discovered a site-recon tool called Web-Check, and it's completely free! Just drop any URL in, and it strips the target site down to the bone—unsettlingly like doxxing: DNS records all laid out, server architecture exposed, frameworks, CMS, plugins—nothing stays hidden, open ports, historical snapshots…
