Maekawa's Shadow or Fowler's Shadow? (includes movie spoilers)

I could have never excepted that somebody one day would have portrayed a Shadow that does match the original in being a compelling character, while keeping his own twist.

Both incarnation are pretty much sincere and spontaneous, not excessively gruff and both are amusing.

They have different strenght.

For Maekawa's incarnation, his strenght is his brain. Greatly shown in SA2, but also suggested in Sonic Heroes (Whan he is amazed by technology) and in Sonic 2006. Many Shadow's minigames involve math. And is shown that G.U.N. value Shadow's brain.

Maekawa's Shadow is among the friendliest incarnation.

Fowler's Shadow unlike OG Shadow is a regular alien who was born naturally and that was brought on Earth by circumstances. It is shown very well in Shadow questioning his own motivations and even Gerard's motivations, showing he is capable to think on his own.

This incarnation is very relatable. The viewer understands his actions, even the most violent because they are never an end in themselvesIs. Sonic X and Sonic Forces failed in this while many fan work (yes, fan works) such as Sonic Multiverse succeded.

Sonic Multiverse (YT) - Shadow causing mayhem. For a good reason.

Shadow taking down Tom (thinking he was Commander Walters) was a very understandable action from him.

Walters was the last person he saw before losing consciousness in the pod (I wonder what was that substance, I hope not liquid nitrogen. N2 is among the most unsettling chemical compound to me). And he looked at Shadow in a way suggesting 'You won't cause trouble anymore, we won!'

Liquid nitrogen has a boiling point of about −196 °C

In this, Maekawa's Shadow is very tame and patient In Sonic06 he was provoked quite often before snapping.

One thing both incarnation have is that they're brave and it shows in daily life, but they show their courage in different way.

Maekawa's Shadow is willing to explore the unknown without fear.

Fowler's Shadow keeps a steady gaze even when facing the most horrorific things.

Of course both are willing to self sacrifice.

Shadow was describled by Maekawa as "dainty and pure"

Maekawa did extremely well on the first but failed on the latter. His Shadow is surely dainty, but he is also a skilled schemer who use deceits as one of his favourite tools to get the job done. I would not consider this incarnation a liar. He never lies to his friends or in daily situations. But he easily resort on lies if they are the most efficent way to get the job done (in SA2 his plan unfolded FLAWLESSY. Never seen him doing his job so clean anymore after SA2).

Fowler's Shadow is certainly less dainty but surely he is pure and sincere, even to a fault (he reveals Gerard's plan to Stone without thinking twice as if it was the most natural thing to say). I might say it is the purest incarnation of the character.

Is hard to choose on the two, they have a fair amount of compelling traits.

The advantage of Maekawa's Shadow is that he appeared and expressed himself in four games, so we know fairly well what he is like in different contexts.

Fowler's Shadow for now appeared in an advertisement and in a movie. I don't know what his destiny is. it looks promising, but we need to wait and see.

On a personal though of the character: Shadow is passive. He doesn't work alone as a character because he takes decision by observing how others act, toward him or toward the world or the task. For this Maekawa's Shadow is never alone. Even when he goes alone, he takes decision after having observed what his peers do. I think Fowler should keep this attitude.

Ammonia is one of the most widely produced chemicals in the world, and is used in a great many manufacturing and service industries. The conventional production technology is the Haber-Bosch process, which combines nitrogen gas (N2) and hydrogen gas (H2) in a reactor in the presence of a catalyst. This process requires high levels of temperature and pressure, resulting in substantial power consumption. Indeed, ammonia production is estimated to consume 1%–2% of the world's electricity and to account for about 3% of global carbon emissions. In pursuit of more sustainable alternatives, researchers affiliated with the Center for Development of Functional Materials (CDMF) have developed an electrochemical nitrogen reduction process using catalysts made of iron oxide and molybdenum disulfide. Because the process is electrochemical, it does not require high temperature and pressure.

Alphas & Algorithms

A/N: Written for the @the-slumberparty​ Bingo card, combining "Tinder Date" and "Dystopian AU" (the former is a bit weak, but it still holds). Reader is referred to as she/her and tall but no other descriptors.

Warnings: It is a Dystopian AU. Food scarcity, hunger, mentions of families being separated. Please let me know if I missed any!

A/N2: I've officially gotten my bingo card to where there are NO bingos and the next thing I write will result in a minimum of 2 bingos in one!

--Part 2--

--Series Masterlist--

The AI had started slowly. Subtly integrating itself into every facet of society. Once it was ready, its takeover was fast and bloody. Packs were still bearing the scars of it even now. There had been attempts to overthrow the AI but it learned from each try. As potent as its algorithms were it recognized that there would always be a small percentage of humanity that it would never be able to fully predict. That’s when it recruited the Omegas.

Because Omegas were naturally attuned to the emotional and psychological well-being of those around them, the AI began to use them when investigating civilians. The AI’s algorithm could easily pick out which citizens had the highest probabilities of rebelling against the system or even committing minor infractions, but the Omegas had proven themselves in being able to confirm or deny the reality of those probabilities. 

They didn’t want to help the AI but it understood the importance of Packs and would not hesitate to use their Packmates against them. It would focus on the Alphas as their bigger, stronger forms were deemed “not needed” in the world the AI had created. To save their Packmates, the Omegas ended up working for the AI. They were rewarded for accurate prediction and harshly punished for incorrect ones. 

Over the generations Omegas were gradually separated from Packs all together. Their training earned them the derogatory nickname “Pets”. When there was a noticeable drop in the Omega population the AI’s data indicated an Alpha/Omega mating was much more likely to result in Omegas than any other combination. 

And that’s what led to Y/N being here, at what her Alpha mother had derisively called “the Tinder App”. Y/N didn’t know what that meant but guessed it was based on some older technology. The AI consistently kept data on known Alphas and had collected 10 of the most biologically compatible with her, the Alphas most likely to give the AI more Omegas. The 10 boxes in front of her contained a sample of their scents. If she liked the scent, it was to be put to the right of the table. If she didn’t, it went to the left.

“What if I don’t like any of them,” she whispered to Jake. He was her best friend and Emotional Support Beta. He’d been assigned to her the minute she presented as an Omega. His role was both emotional support (in place of pack-bonding) as well as leverage for the AI to use against her.

“Don’t worry,” Jake whispered back. “I’ve personally evaluated at least half of them and I know you’ll find a few that you like.”

“How did you manage that?”

“I logiced with the AI that I could help reduce the number of disliked scents, optimizing the chances of you finding a good mate. Now go on and give the sniff test.” He pushed Y/N forward a bit. 

The first few scents were nice enough. Nothing particularly noticeable or unpleasant. She decided to keep those in the middle until she’d checked out a few others. The fifth scent made her go into a coughing fit.

“Woah, there,” Jake grabbed and hugged her while she kept coughing. “What the hell is in that box?!”

“I dunno but it smells like when you fry up dried spicy peppers and the smoke gets everywhere,” Y/N explained between coughs. “When that Alpha’s having a good day it’d be like adding a bit of spice and seasoning to bland foods. But when he’s having a bad day, it’d be like smelling bear spray.” Jake winces in sympathy and Y/N promptly moves the box to the left. Neither notices the AI crossing off the name “Hansen, L.” from its list of potential Alphas.

When Y/N recovered she went back to one of the mildly pleasant scents to clean her palette. She ended up moving a couple more to the left because, after the shock to her system with the smoky pepper scent, these ones just felt especially bland.

The sixth and seventh scents were at least interesting so she moved those to the right. The next scent almost made her knees shake with how good it was. It smelled like the warmth of a fire on a cold night, a light in the darkness that promised safety and companionship. On a good day there was warmth, food and safety. On a bad day it was just a lot of smoke that seemed to follow you no matter where you sat around it. It was definitely a keeper and she moved it to the right.

The ninth scent made her freeze in a way Jake recognized as fear so he immediately comforted her and put away the offending scent. She described the scent as “a glacier in the ocean. You might think you’re far enough away but you’re not. On a good day, you can see it clearly and try to avoid it. On a bad day, there’s fog everywhere, the ship sinks and you have to choose between drowning and hypothermia.” As she recovers from another shock, the AI crosses off “Drysdale, R.” from its list. 

The final scent was almost as good as the campfire one. She smelled it a few times and enjoyed the sensation of a cold front breaking the heatwave, making outside life bearable again. On the bad days, it would bring a blizzard and cover everything, but on the good days, relief. She almost wished she could have both Alphas as she moved the final scent to the right. But then she reminded herself of her promise to not be like her Omega father and that she wanted to be a good mate to whatever Alpha she ended up with. Probably would be easier if she only had one Alpha to dote on.

Every time Curtis woke up he expected that he’d finally be numb to the pain his body plagued him with. Every time he was disappointed. His Alpha designation meant he was deemed to be only suitable for heavy labor and drudgery work. Betas do the smart stuff, Omegas do the snitching, and Alphas do what labor the AI hasn’t replaced with robots, he thought to himself. He took a deep breath and got up. 

The rest of the pack was starting to stir as well. Only the pups were allowed to sleep a little later as they not only needed the rest but it gave the adults a few minutes of quiet in the mornings. Timmy, Yona and Andy weren’t rowdy kids, but some mornings were tougher than others. Curtis was especially protective of them since his own brother had been taken to be a whipping boy for some Omega several years ago. The only comfort his pack got was that, at the start of the month, they received credits equivalent to whatever wages he would’ve earned had he still been with them. Curtis hoped it was also a sign that he was still alive. 

Tanya and Andrew were just divvying up the ration packs for everyone for the day. They had to be careful since the AI kept touting that everyone was getting the exact amount of vitamins and minerals they needed each day. That knowledge didn’t help with the hunger and Curtis wondered if it was a side-effect of an Alpha physique to need more. He’d never ask for more, of course, but he still wondered.

Tanya smiled as best she could and handed Curtis his rations when there was a loud bang on the door that woke up everyone. The entire pack on edge, Curtis called out, “who is it?”

“AI Security Drone. Please open the door or we will break it down.” The pups started silently crying in fear as the other pack members tried to calm them down. Curtis stepped up and opened the door but did not let the drone inside. Alphas might not have practical skills for this day and age but dammit he was going to follow his instincts to protect his pack as best he could.

He blinked as the drone scanned his face and told him, “Curtis Everett. You have been selected for courting by an Omega. You are to come with me to prepare. Your pack will be compensated with the credits you would have earned today at work.”

Curtis froze in place, mentally cursing the AI and its ever invasive data collection. He heard one of the pups behind him crying for him to not go but he knew they’d be hurt worse if he didn’t comply. 

He sighed heavily and asked, “can I say goodbye to my pack, first?”

“You have been granted 3 minutes to say goodbye for the day.”

Curtis turned back and did his best Alpha purr to comfort the pups. He also snuck his day’s rations into Yona’s pocket. He wasn’t sure he was going to need it and figured they definitely could. He said his goodbyes, not knowing if he’d ever see his pack again, and headed out with the drone.

Submitted via Google Form:

I want to build a world where the air is very toxic and all the population lives underground in shelters and if they're on the surface, they require lots of gear. I'm running into the issue of how toxic, how long this has been going on, how people even adapt (both technogically and physically). Especially the adaption part. Because this cannot be people who naturally evolved in such an environment when they lacked tech to survive it, and well, even with tech, there are still going to be random biological adaptions after quite a long time. I've been toying with the idea of between 3-5 thousand years but... Also if it HAD been that long, what might prevent them from eliminating the toxic air or something if it had so long.

Tex: Earth’s current air is already heavily toxic from manufacturing processes and other sources, to debilitating effects on one’s health (Wikipedia). Human DNA, at minimum, has already been altered by this (Google Scholar), and politics is a changing variable historically. One of the main issues in building a world with heavy pollution is that pollution doesn’t stay in one place, or one biome. Air pollution becomes water pollution, becomes soil pollution, and can become folded into geological strata over time, leaching pollutants to be literally unearthed in the future. Simply living underground is not necessarily going to stop this, particularly over the time span of thousands of years - materials break down, and need repair, which requires a manufacturing industry to create materials for such repairs. Survival, in this instance, becomes a sliding scale of definition  - the parameters for healthy will look different, and genetic-induced illnesses will culminate from environmentally-induced illnesses, so even if the environment is completely cleaned, the remnants of its effects will last for many generations.

Utuabzu: Tex is right, pollution has a rather nasty habit of traveling. But if you want the surface uninhabitable, you do have quite a few options. Nuclear winter, massive nasty pollution, supervolcanic eruption, planet kicked out of its orbit and surviving only on internal heat as a rogue planet, another planet already hostile to human life. Others I'm not really able to think of right now. But 3-5 thousand years is definitely not enough time for humans to meaningfully evolve any serious adaptations, especially not with the level of technology that would be required to survive at all. The best you'd manage is maybe people getting a bit paler and a bit smaller from living in light-poor and cramped conditions, and some dietary adaptations. Even that's debatable given that a culture technologically advanced enough to build these shelters is also going to be advanced enough to supplement vitamin d and ensure proper nutrition.

Rogue Planet is, to me, probably the most interesting option and the one that will be totally unfixable. The others would resolve themselves over time - the high atmospheric debris from a nuclear war or supervolcano would fall back to Earth (or whatever planet this is) within a few years, and both radioactive materials and most toxins do break down over time. You can't just wait out the cold of interstellar space. The planet's surface would cool continuously, and after a few decades would become so cold that the atmosphere precipitates out and forms a layer of liquid nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide. Then, it gets even colder and this freezes into a shell of N2-O2-CO2 ice. But, internal heat, from the planet's molten core and supplemented by tidal heating from any large satellites, could allow for subterranean habitats to be viable for millions of years. But you could never go to the surface without a full spacesuit.

In-situ atmospheric thermoelectric conversion on Mars

Preparing for human Mars exploration

1. Martian gas driven thermoelectric conversion

The Martian atmosphere (95.7% CO2, 2.7% N2, and 1.6% Ar) as a working medium represents an unprecedented concept for dynamic thermoelectric conversion. The abundant in-situ atmospheric resources enhance the tolerance of moving components to gas leakage in extreme operating environments. The characteristics of Martian gases, such as their large molecular weight and high thermal stability, contribute to ensuring safety and increasing power density. Martian gases are better suited to operate in the subcritical state, similar to the behavior of rare gases. Beyond electricity generation, Martian gas-driven thermoelectric conversion holds expanded application potential, including coupling with Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOEC) for in-situ oxygen production and heating.

2. Environmental suitability and technology potential

Martian atmosphere shows promising thermoelectric conversion properties, matching the temperature range for microreactor secondary loops. In-situ conversion can maintain 90% of designed power during day-night temperature fluctuations. Even with full dust coverage, the system retains 39% to 46% of its initial power. Efficiency could improve by 7.4% to 20.0%, and power density by 1.0% to 14.2%, compared to rare gases. Notably, conversion efficiency can exceed 22% at hot-end temperatures below 973 K. When power demands exceed 100 kW, such as for Mars base outposts, in-situ conversion offers significant weight reduction, with over twice the efficiency of traditional thermoelectric materials, reducing the scale of microreactors and radiators.

BETTER EYES PROJECT

So. Why is it "better"? Not because one day I woke up thinking that I was painting the best eyes in the world, ha-ha. This is because any texture drawn for this mesh will look better in the game than the texture drawn for the base game due to the creation technology. That's all. I don't declare my designs the best or anything.

A little bit about how I came up with the idea of creating this project. I've been upset for a long time because the eyes in the game look much worse than in the original because of the way the game compresses the texture. And I decided to improve it the way I can!

Does not slow down the functioning of the game. Do not conflict with anything. But the heterochromia option, as always, conflicts with bracelets.

All items are available in the "details" categories, so you don't have to choose it separately for each outfit.

[ad_1] TSMC is on track to start high-volume production of chips on N2 (2nm-class), its first production technology that relies on gate-all-around (GAA) nanosheet transistors, in the second half of this year, the company revealed at its North American Technology Symposium 2025. This new node will enable numerous products launching next year, including AMD's next-generation EPYC 'Venice' CPUs for the data center, as well as various client-oriented processors, such as Apple's 2025 chips for smartphones, tablets, and PCs. The new 2nm node will enable tangible power savings amid higher performance and transistor density thanks to GAAFETs and enhanced power delivery. Also, follow-up process technologies — A16 and N2P — are on track for production next year.N2: Ready for mass production in 2H 2025N2 is the company's all-new process technology that will enable what TSMC calls 'full node improvements,' which include a 10% to 15% performance improvement, a 25% to 30% power reduction, and a 15% increase in transistor density compared to N3E. TSMC says that N2's transistor performance is close to target and 256Mb SRAM blocks are achieving over 90% average yield, which signals strong process maturity as N2 moves toward volume ramp.  You may like (Image credit: TSMC)As noted above, N2 will be TSMC's first node to use GAA nanosheet transistors, which promise increased performance and lower leakage as gate wraps 360 degrees around the channel — which in the case of N2 is shaped as multiple horizontal nanosheets. Such a structure allows for maximizing electrostatic control over the channel and therefore minimizing transistor size without compromising performance or power, thus enabling higher transistor densities. Additionally, the N2 process incorporates super-high-performance metal-insulator-metal (SHPMIM) capacitors into the transistor's power delivery circuitry to enhance power stability and performance. These new capacitors provide over double the capacitance density compared to the company's previous super-high-density metal-insulator-metal (SHDMIM) design and achieve a 50% reduction in both sheet resistance (Rs) and via resistance (Rc) relative to the earlier generation, which should have a tangible effect on performance and power consumption. Advertised PPA Improvements of TSMC's New Process TechnologiesSwipe to scroll horizontallyData announced during conference calls, events, press briefings and press releases.

This momentum continues to build, as second-year NTOs for N2 have reached approximately four times the count seen for N5, signaling strong market interest and early design activity. While mobile products remain the leading adopters of N2, TSMC claims that HPC and AI customers are accelerating their use of the node, driven by the need for greater energy efficiency. This early engagement from traditionally later-stage segments (see AMD Venice example) highlights N2's appeal across a wider range of applications compared to previous generations.N2P and A16: Due in 2H 2026Unlike Intel's 18A (1.8nm-class), TSMC's N2 does not support a backside power delivery network; however, TSMC says the new node still delivers tangible benefits even without it. In case of TSMC's nodes, BSPDN — called Super Power Rail (SPR) — arrives with the A16 fabrication process. The foundry employs the most complex and expensive, yet most efficient, approach to backside power delivery, which involves directly connecting a backside power network to each transistor's source and drain. This contrasts with Intel's 18A approach, which connects BSPDN to the cell or transistor contact, a cheaper but presumably less efficient method. (Image credit: TSMC)Since TSMC's SPR backside power delivery technology is expensive to manufacture, TSMC will continue to offer nodes without SPR going forward. One such process technology is N2P, which is a performance-enhanced version of N2 with a traditional power delivery network, that promises to offer 5% to 10% higher performance, and 5% to 10% lower power compared to N2. In fact, to a large degree, A16 is N2P with backside power delivery, according to TSMC, which will enable chip designers to reuse IPs for different products. For client applications that do not need a dense power network, N2P could be an optimal solution, particularly from a cost perspective. For those who require dense backside power delivery, TSMC will offer the A16. Both N2P and A16 are set to achieve high volume manufacturing milestone in the second half of the year, so expect actual products to hit the market in 2027. In addition to N2, N2P, and A16, TCMC will also offer N2X, the ultimate version of N2, with enhanced voltage tolerance to enable maximum clock speeds, albeit at the cost of increased power consumption. This node will be particularly useful for high-end client CPUs and some data center offerings that require maximum single-thread performance guarantees. N2X is expected to get to mass production in 2027. [ad_2] Source link

Powering Progress – How Strategic Data Center Staffing Drives Operational Excellence

In today's hyper-connected world, data centers form the critical infrastructure behind every digital transaction, cloud platform, and enterprise application. As demand for faster, more secure, and scalable IT solutions rises, so does the need for highly skilled personnel who can build, manage, and optimize these data-driven ecosystems. For decision makers across industries, ensuring the right staffing strategy in and around the data center is no longer optional, it’s mission critical.

The Talent Challenge in Data Centers

The evolution of data centers, from traditional on-premise setups to complex hybrid and hyperscale environments, has outpaced the available talent pool. According to industry analysts, the demand for qualified data center professionals is growing faster than supply, creating an urgent need for specialized staffing solutions. Businesses are finding it increasingly difficult to locate professionals with the right blend of technical expertise, operational awareness, and compliance knowledge.

Roles such as data center technicians, facilities engineers, network architects, and security analysts require not just technical proficiency, but also real-world experience, adaptability, and reliability in high-stakes environments. This talent shortage is further complicated by regional hiring challenges, compliance considerations, and the constant evolution of data center technologies.

Strategic Staffing – More Than Just Filling Seats

Effective data center staffing goes beyond headcount. It involves aligning the right skillsets with the operational objectives of the business. Whether it's 24/7 facility management, rapid deployment for build-outs, or maintaining uptime during peak demand, companies need workforce partners that understand the nuances of mission-critical environments.
