Could Vegetable Oil Power a Cleaner Digital Future? Sabey Data Centers is Finding Out

Pilot at Sabey Data Center Austin tests renewable diesel as a drop-in replacement for conventional diesel in backup power targeting one of the hardest-to-reduce sources of Scope 1 emissions in data center operations.

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabey Data Centers is piloting hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) use in backup generators at its Sabey Data Center Austin (SDC Austin) campus to explore how renewable diesel alternatives could reduce the environmental impact of data center operations while maintaining mission-critical infrastructure reliability. HVO is being tested as the primary fuel source in data center backup generators to determine feasibility for broader use across Sabey Data Centers.

The importance of finding multiple new pathways to operate data centers more sustainability grows as the need for digital infrastructure expands. For the communities surrounding these facilities, the question is not simply how to power the technology of tomorrow, but how to do so responsibly today.

Backup generators play an important role in maintaining data center reliability, serving as a safeguard during power outages and emergencies. While their overall fuel consumption is limited, backup generation remains one of the more challenging sources of Scope 1 emissions, or greenhouse gases released directly from sources a company owns or controls, including fuel burned in backup generators.

Data centers support the digital services that people and businesses rely on, but they also have an environmental footprint. By exploring alternatives to conventional diesel, Sabey is looking for practical ways to reduce that footprint without compromising the reliability of its operations. HVO is a renewable diesel made by hydrotreating vegetable oils and waste fats, including used cooking oil, and can be used in existing diesel generators without engine modifications. A 2022 peer-reviewed study by the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory found that renewable diesel made from waste-based feedstocks cuts lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by 79% to 86% compared with petroleum diesel, with crop-based feedstocks delivering reductions of 40% to 69%. Sabey's pilot will track the feedstock behind the HVO it burns, since fuel origin determines the climate benefit.

The significance of the Sabey HVO initiative extends beyond the generators currently being tested in Austin. By evaluating how HVO performs under real-world operating conditions, Sabey is exploring the potential for lower-carbon backup generation fuels across its broader data center portfolio where fuel availability and operating conditions allow. If the pilot results support a transition to HVO, Sabey intends to expand testing at additional data center sites.

"For more than 50 years, Sabey has been building and operating infrastructure with the understanding that being a good neighbor is one of our most important responsibilities," said Casey Mason, Director of Energy & Sustainability at Sabey Data Centers. "As technology evolves and the need for digital infrastructure grows, it's our responsibility to continue finding better ways to operate. We need reliable backup power, but we also want to explore how we can reduce its environmental impact for the surrounding community. This pilot is one step toward understanding how we can do both."

The company behind global gaming phenomenon PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS is advancing research into socially intelligent robots that can interpret human intent, respond to feedback and adapt to changing environments

PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KRAFTON, Inc., the global gaming company behind PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, one of the most successful games of all time and the title that globally popularized the battle royale genre, is bringing nearly two decades of experience building games and interactive virtual worlds to robotics through Ludo Robotics. The KRAFTON subsidiary builds AI for socially intelligent robots that can better understand, communicate, and collaborate with people.

Games have long served as proving grounds for AI. KRAFTON's virtual worlds host millions of players whose behavior is unpredictable, social and constantly changing, and building intelligent systems for those environments has led the company to invest heavily in machine learning, reinforcement learning, large language models and multimodal AI. That work includes proprietary AI foundation models and Co-Playable Characters (CPCs) developed in collaboration with NVIDIA, AI teammates designed to understand players and respond to them in real time. Ludo Robotics builds on that foundation to take the same kind of intelligence into the physical world. Today, the company presented Ludi 0.2, the latest version of its robotic intelligence system, at the 2026 Bay Area Robotics Symposium (BARS) at UC Berkeley.

"For nearly two decades, KRAFTON has built games and virtual worlds where people and intelligent systems interact in real time," said CH Kim, CEO of KRAFTON and Ludo Robotics. "Through Ludo Robotics, we're building on that experience to explore how AI can better understand people and interact with them naturally in the physical world."

Advancing Socially Intelligent Robotics Through Ludi 0.2

Ludo Robotics is developing general-purpose robotic intelligence systems designed to understand human intent, adapt to changing environments and collaborate naturally with people. Its approach focuses on a critical challenge in robotics: enabling intelligent systems to move beyond executing predefined commands to better understand context, interpret human behavior and respond appropriately as situations evolve.

Introduced in August 2026, Ludi 0.1 (https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.22035) combined a vision-language model for reasoning and dialogue with specialized navigation and manipulation capabilities. The system was designed to interpret spoken instructions, maintain conversational context, ask clarifying questions and adapt to changing tasks within supported environments.

Building on that foundation, Ludi 0.2 advances several capabilities central to more natural human-robot interaction, including:

- Social Intelligence: Improving how the system interprets human intent, responds to feedback and accounts for social cues during interactions.

- Memory and Reasoning: Advancing the system's ability to maintain context and reason through changing tasks and situations.

- Tool Coordination: Supporting more coordinated use of capabilities involved in navigation, manipulation and interaction.

- Gesture Interpretation: Improving the system's ability to recognize and respond to human gestures as part of physical interaction.

- Physical Movement: Advancing smoother, more adaptable movement in supported environments.

Together, these capabilities represent continued progress toward robotic systems that can integrate communication, reasoning and physical action, allowing them to interact more naturally with people.

"Robots are becoming increasingly capable of performing physical tasks, but understanding and responding to people remains a major challenge," said Kangwook Lee, Chief AI Officer of KRAFTON and CTO of Ludo Robotics. "Ludi 0.2 represents another step toward our goal of bringing conversation, reasoning and physical action together so robots can better understand human intent, respond to feedback and adapt as situations change."

The company's longer-term research roadmap includes Ludi 1.0, a next-generation foundation model currently in development that aims to integrate perception, dialogue and physical action within a unified system. The goal is to enable robots to maintain a shared understanding of tasks with people while communicating and acting in real time.

By bringing these capabilities together, Ludo Robotics aims to advance robotic intelligence that can support more natural collaboration between humans and machines.

Establishing a Silicon Valley Hub for AI and Robotics Research

Ludo Robotics is headquartered in Palo Alto, with an additional R&D lab in Seoul, Korea. The location places the team close to the Bay Area's deep research talent, leading academic institutions and broader technology ecosystem.

The company's scientific leadership brings together expertise across AI, robotics and human-computer interaction. Chief Technology Officer Kangwook Lee, who also serves as KRAFTON's Chief AI Officer, is a former tenured associate professor at the University of WisconsinâMadison whose research spans machine learning, large language models, reinforcement learning and multimodal AI. Chief Scientist Rob Nowak is an IEEE Fellow and UWâMadison professor specializing in machine learning, embodied AI and robot learning, and Human-Robot Interaction Lead Yea-Seul Kim is a former UWâMadison assistant professor of Computer Sciences focused on human-computer interaction, information visualization and data science.

Together, the Palo Alto and Seoul locations will support Ludo Robotics' continued research into socially intelligent robots, with the long-term ambition of developing robotic systems that can collaborate naturally with people in homes, workplaces and other real-world environments.

Building the Research Foundation for socially intelligent robots

Real-world human interactions involve ambiguity, changing preferences, non-verbal communication and unpredictable behavior, which makes them difficult to train robots for. To address this, Ludo Robotics combines simulated environments, AI-generated social interactions, and real-world human behavior data. The company is also developing evaluation benchmarks that assess how robots handle complex social situations involving different personalities, preferences and relationships, as well as gesture-driven physical manipulation.

All-New Polaris-Engineered RZR Pro R Factory Boost Delivers 400 Horsepower and Purpose-Built Enhancements for Open Desert Racing, Joining the RZR Pro R Factory in Polaris' Race Machine Lineup Available for Purchase

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Polaris and RZR Factory Racing today unveiled the all-new RZR Pro R Factory Boost at the company's annual Camp RZR event at Glamis Imperial Sand Dunes. Delivering up to 400 horsepower, the RZR Pro R Factory Boost is designed and developed by Polaris engineers and built in Roseau, Minnesota, bringing a bigger, stronger and even more capable package to the race-proven platform.

Joining rather than replacing the existing Gen 2 RZR Pro R Factory, the new model gives racers another purpose-built option with a different level of performance and capability. Together, the two platforms strengthen Polaris' race vehicle lineup and its commitment to delivering race-ready side-by-sides designed to rule every race.

The RZR Pro R Factory Boost builds on the foundation established by the recently introduced production RZR Pro R Boost while incorporating proven components and lessons learned from the Gen 2 RZR Pro R Factory. Engineered specifically for competition, the new race machine further refines power delivery, chassis design, cooling and suspension to meet the demands of high-speed desert racing.

"The Gen 2 RZR Pro R Factory has proven itself as the benchmark in the side-by-side category and demonstrated our ability to compete among the best, beating all other UTVs in virtually every major offroad race in the world. With the RZR Pro R Factory Boost, we're building on that success with a clear goal: to keep pushing the boundaries of performance and give our team and customers every advantage to continue winning at the highest level," said Alex Scheuerell, Polaris' Director of Off-Road Motorsports. "Desert racing demands strength, speed and durability across hundreds of miles, and we've engineered this platform to take on the next level of competition. We're ready to put it to the test and push for results that reflect the ambition of our team."

The RZR Pro R Factory Boost includes the following race modifications:

- Turbocharged Power â A race-tuned, turbocharged ProStar Fury 2.0L four-cylinder engine delivers up to 400 horsepower for commanding holeshots, high-speed passes, and the power to attack demanding terrain.

- Performance Race-Spec Chassis â The reinforced chassis features a wheelbase extended by 6.5 inches to a total of 111 inches, for greater straight-line stability and control over rough terrain. Increased tubing size across key structural members adds strength and stiffness to support higher speeds and the demands of desert racing.

- Competition-Ready Cockpit and Cage â Redesigned with driver feedback in mind, the all-new cage design delivers added strength, while a cab that's two inches wider provides more cockpit space for improved comfort and legroom. The expanded design transforms the feel from a traditional side-by-side to a purpose-built race car.

- Full Carbon Fiber Bodywork with Aerodynamic Design â Sculpted carbon fiber bodywork and an arched roofline reduce weight and improve aerodynamic efficiency at high speeds. Polaris engineers used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model airflow at speeds exceeding 100 mph, informing the cage shape and redesigned rear body profile to optimize airflow and support high-speed desert racing performance.

- Upgraded Fuel System â A 45-gallon (170-liter) fuel cell increases capacity over the previous-generation RZR Pro R Factory's 34-gallon system, extending its range beyond 200 miles to reduce pit stops.

- MoTeC Components â The fully integrated MoTeC electronics package features an upgraded M150 ECU and dual power distribution modules, adding a second PDM over the Gen 2 RZR Pro R Factory for expanded power distribution and control capabilities.

- Race-Tuned DYNAMIX DV Suspension â Three-inch internal bypass DYNAMIX DV Live Valve shocks feature race-specific components and upgraded one-inch shock shafts for increased strength and a broader dynamic range. Race-specific tuning maintains control across changing terrain, while a standard FOX steering damper absorbs large impacts to improve steering control and driver confidence at high speeds.

The RZR Pro R Factory Boost is available to order now in limited quantities through SCI Distribution, LLC, an exclusive distributor, with the first order window closing February 15, 2027. Starting at $200,000 US MSRP, the new race machine will be offered alongside the continued availability of the championship-proven RZR Pro R Factory, giving racers two platforms to choose from based on their performance needs and racing goals. Polaris will produce the RZR Pro R Factory Boost with SCI managing the sales and post-sale customer support process.

NHL Predictions and Best Bets:

Here are tonight’s NHL predictions and best bets.

New Jersey Devils at Vegas Golden Knights

New Jersey (-105) at Vegas (-115) – Total 6 (Over, -120)

6 p.m. ET

It’s the annual Nevada Day game at T-Mobile Arena in Vegas. The Knights are 4-3-1 in these games, and six of the eight games have had a combined six or more goals (five times, 7+ goals). Six of the Devils’ last eight games have had a combined six or more goals, while the Golden Knights, who have played back-to-back Unders, previously had five consecutive games fly Over the total.

Connor Hellebuyck is scheduled to make his second start for the Devils today. Hellebuyck had a low-event game in his Devils debut at Dallas, a 5-1 Jersey win, stopping 17 of 18 shots. In 16 career regular-season starts against the Knights, he has just seven wins (7-5-4) with a 3.09 goals against average. If you include the playoffs, over his last 10 starts he is 1-6-3 with a 3.58 goals against average and an .885 save percentage, giving up 3+ goals in eight of the ten games. New Jersey is coming off a 5-2 loss at Colorado, snapping a four-game win streak. In fairness to the Devils, it was a bad scheduling spot, having played the night before in Dallas and not having at least a day to adjust to the altitude. Vegas is coming off a 4-1 home win versus Ottawa as they put an end to a three-game losing streak. The Knights have won four of the last five head-to-head meetings, and four of the last eight meetings have gone past regulation.

On to the prop plays. The Devils’ Luke Evangelista has points in seven of nine meetings against the Golden Knights (three goals, six assists). He has points in four of his last five overall. On the Vegas side, Mark Stone has had his way with Connor Hellebuyck, scoring six goals in the 11 games versus the netminder. Mitch Marner has picked up an assist in each of his last eight games, two of his last three and seven of his last 10 versus the Devils.

NHL Predictions and Best Bets:

Luke Evangelista anytime goal (+333) – ¼ unit

Luke Evangelista 1+ assist (+165) – ¼ units are

Mark Stone anytime goal (+190) – ¼ unit

Mitch Marner 1+ assist (-113) – 1 unit

Vegas Golden Knights Team Total Over 3 (-120) – 1 unit  

Seattle Kraken at Calgary Flames

Seattle (-120) at Calgary (+100) – Total 6 (Over, -140)

8 p.m. ET

This will be the third meeting this season between the two teams, with the Kraken coming away with a pair of 6-1 wins and having now outscored the Flames 21-4 in winning each of the last four meetings. Ten different players (Eberle and Samoskevich) have combined to score the 12 goals versus Calgary this season. Two of those players are Berkly Catton and Shane Wright. Catton has scored in each of Seattle’s last two games, and Wright has three goals on eight shots against Flames starting goalie, Dustin Wolf. With Devin Cooley injured in the loss to Edmonton on Wednesday and placed on injured reserve, Wolf will shoulder the load of games until Cooley returns. He has given up 4+ goals in four of his five starts, and he was touched up for three goals on Wednesday in just two periods after taking over from Cooley.

I kind of buried the lead for this game tonight, and that is for a goal to be scored in the first 10 minutes. Twelve of the 13 Kraken games have seen a goal from either team scored in the opening 10 minutes, and Seattle has scored a goal in the first 10 minutes nine times this season. In fact, the Kraken have led 3-0 after the opening 20 minutes in both games this season.

NHL Predictions and Best Bets:

Seattle Kraken Team Total Over 3.5 (+120) – 1 unit

Goal 1st 10 mins (-166) – 1.5 units

Seattle Kraken goal 1st 10 mins (+162) – ½ unit

Seattle Kraken 1st period TT Over 1.5 (+162) – ¼ unit

Berkly Catton anytime goal (+425) – ¼ unit

Shane Wright anytime goal (+400) – ¼ unit

Bobby McMann anytime goal (+200) – ¼ unit

Kommentar von "nd.DerTag" zur Causa Elif Eralp

Berlin (ots)

Je nach Betrachtungsweise ist Berlins Linksfraktionschefin Elif Eralp angeblich Antisemitin oder Zionistin, gefährliche Revolutionärin oder windelweiche Reformistin. Jetzt soll sie auch noch ein Sicherheitsrisiko und als Regierende Bürgermeisterin ungeeignet sein, weil sie Ratschläge des Landeskriminalamts ernst nimmt und Angst vor Kriminalität und Terrorismus hat. Das wird ihr dann zu allem Überfluss von verschiedenen Medien vorgeworfen, die gierig auf Klicks im Internet oft Ängste vor Kriminalität und Terror schüren.

Psychologen wissen, dass Angst eine überlebensnotwendige Reaktion auf gefährliche Situationen ist. Angst hindert vorsichtige Menschen, beim Bergwandern zu nahe an die Kante eines Felsens zu treten und abzustürzen. Angst hindert vernünftige Autofahrer, mit 250 Kilometern pro Stunde zu rasen. Das senkt das Unfallrisiko ganz erheblich. Das ist eine sehr gesunde Angst.

Angst um die Demokratie könnte Regierungen dazu bewegen, etwas gegen Armut und Ungerechtigkeit zu unternehmen, um den Aufstieg faschistischer Parteien zu stoppen. Angst vor Tod und Zerstörung könnte Staaten davon abhalten, einen Krieg zu provozieren. Wir haben viel zu wenig ängstliche Politiker.

Auf einem anderen Blatt steht die ungesunde Angststörung, die einem Patienten nicht erlaubt, die Wohnung zu verlassen. Dem Berliner Wähler soll eine derartige Angst vor Elif Eralp gemacht werden. SPD und Grüne sollen Angst haben, eine Koalition mit der Linken zu schmieden. Denn die Probleme der Berliner sollen auf gar keinen Fall so gelöst werden, dass Konzerne Probleme bekommen könnten, noch mehr Profit zu machen. Darum die Panikmache.

Kommentar zur fehlenden gesetzlichen Regulierung des assistierten Suizids

Frankfurt (ots)

Seit dem Urteil des Bundesverfassungsgerichts 2020 dürfen Sterbehilfevereine in Deutschland aktiv sein. Ob und nach welchen Standards und Regeln sie arbeiten, ist ihnen selbst überlassen. Das ist bemerkenswert in einem Land, in dem man nicht einmal eine Imbissbude eröffnen kann ohne langwierige behördliche Prüfungen. Gleichzeitig gibt es eine wachsende Nachfrage zum assistierten Suizid. Der Mangel an Regulierung in diesem Bereich ist inzwischen so deutlich, dass jetzt 32 medizinische Fachorganisationen eine 45 Punkte umfassende eigene Leitlinie veröffentlicht haben. Doch so wichtig die sorgfältig erarbeitete Leitlinie ist - niemand ist verpflichtet, sich nach ihr zu richten. Es ist unverständlich, warum sich Bundestag und Bundesregierung in dieser Hinsicht derartig zurückhalten und das Feld privaten Vereinen und Unternehmen überlassen. Das Bundesverfassungsgericht hat das Freiheitsrecht jedes einzelnen Menschen betont, über das eigene Sterben zu bestimmen und dafür die Hilfe Dritter in Anspruch zu nehmen. Diese Freiheit gilt es zu respektieren und zu schützen - aber eben auch zu gestalten. Und zwar bald.

Um die Inflation zu kontrollieren, muss die Politik auch das Angebot im Blick behalten. Einwanderung ist ein wichtiger Faktor; Lohnerhöhungen sind richtig und wichtig, aber der Fachkräftemangel darf nicht dazu führen, dass manche Branchen die Preise setzen können, wie sie wollen. Die Mütter allen Übels sind übrigens Väter; sie sitzen in Washington, Moskau und Teheran. Mittelfristig ist die Lösung der Inflationsproblematik eine politische Lösung für die Straße von Hormus und für die Meerenge Bab al-Mandab. Langfristig ist es die Abkehr von den fossilen Energien, vor deren geopolitischer Unberechenbarkeit es sich schwer schützen lässt.

"But the designation also represents a responsibility. Our focus is on making these standards part of how we operate every day, from how we anticipate resident needs to how consistently, and thoughtfully we deliver service. That is the work behind the recognition, and it continues."

That commitment is shared by the community's board, which has described maintaining an exceptional standard of living for residents as a priority and views the VERIFIED designation as reinforcing ALINA Residences' commitment to setting a high standard for luxury living.

FirstService Residential, which manages the property, is the first property management brand to collaborate with Atelier CX, the consulting division of Forbes Travel Guide, on the development of a brand-wide Service Excellence program that brings world-class hospitality standards into residential living. Today, the company manages seven Forbes VERIFIED Luxury Residences, more than any other residential property management company, and continues to expand its Service Excellence program across hundreds of high-rise communities.

ALINA Residences earned the VERIFIED Luxury Residences designation after completing a comprehensive verification process evaluating its service culture, operational practices and resident experience against the program's standards.

The designation recognizes luxury residential communities committed to delivering exceptional resident experiences inspired by the service culture of the world's finest hospitality brands.

With the plaque now on display, the celebration provided a moment to recognize the achievement while keeping the focus on what comes next: continuing to enhance the everyday resident experience.
