Disclaimer: I'm non-technical and just built custom audio software in 30 mins. I used Opus4.6 to build a Spectrogram for Ableton (as a Max4Live device). ~5 min prompting ~5 min build ~30 min trouble shooting And... it works 😳 Wild stuff. (below screenshots of the plugin + QA in Claude)

After seeing Zack's work for a while, I finally built up the courage to ask him for an interview. Was a fun one and I think it turned out great.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? The reason why you wait for a website to load is frequently not the site content itself but all the programmatic advertising magic in the background(audience analysis; bid auction on your impression; customized ad serving; etc) 🤷‍♂️

For context, after the 2019 UK outage I mentioned earlier the grid operator published an interim report in 1 week and a full report in 1 month. Admittedley more was known even within 24 hours (ie which plants faulted, broadly how the system responded). But it still takes time to do a proper autopsy.

“Are we entitled to nature? Is that a human right?" "I would say yes. It’s not an easy argument, but it’s a valid one.” A good read on new ways of using the courts for #conservation like we've been covering on the @mongabay.bsky.social podcast, by @samirashackle.bsky.social:

Question for #energysky - Can you point me to some experts on EU NCCS (Network Codes on Cyber Sec) for electricity grids? Would love to get a more "on the ground" picture beyond the legal texts & EU publications. → Actual efficacy → Preparedness ...etc. Thanks in advance 🙏

1/ If you are a European and haven't heard of Andreas Klinger, then buckle up. Andreas - founding CTO of Product Hunt and investor via his Prototype Capital - is currently working Brussels to make Europe more competitive. His message: "Europe needs to be a player, not a playground." A thread 🇪🇺

Fascinating article. Tl;dr seems that most transformers are built-to-order and that's what's causing bottlenecks. Q for #energysky - Why isn't there more standardization in transformer production?

Trivia Wednesday: Why is it called Antarctica? Arctic comes from the Greek word ἀρκτικός - "arktikos" or “near the bear” - and refers to the star constellation Ursa Major mainly found in the northern sky. Also, polar bears are only found in the Arctic/northern regions. 1/n 👇

When I was kid, one history teacher, in teaching about Ancient Greece, said that “May you live in interesting times” was an insult. At 8 I didn’t get it but living in interesting times. It is an insult but also. We live in interesting times, so now that we’ve established that

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.
