The Super El Niño is breaking charts as well as records, including Climate Reanalyzer's, which previously went to 30 degrees C but had to be updated today. SSTs in this part of the Pacific are in unprecedented territory - and rising - roughly two months before the typical El Niño peak.

Having just turned in my Equinox EV lease, and purchased a used Blazer EV, I fully endorse the blame the dealers theory. They are clueless to the point of animosity.

One thing I would like to see in any story about Lithium-Ion battery fires is that there have been 3,200 petrochemical incidents (including leaks and fires) in the last 3 years, at a rate of 1x every 10 hours SpillTracker.org
spilltracker.org
One petrochemical incident every 10 hours.
Not once in a while. Not somewhere else. Spill Tracker counts them, maps them, and carries the words of the people who live next to them.

The entire address is worth reading deeply, and considering how have we already begun to cede our understanding of reality to automated language models. www.armscontrol.org/events-and-r...

"Epistemic capture occurs when an AI system’s representation of reality becomes so dominant that the human can no longer recognize it merely as a representation—can no longer effectively challenge it, generate alternatives, cross-check it, recognize its failure modes, or act contrary to it."

"Frontier models increase the familiar risk of automation bias—humans placing undue confidence in machine outputs.... I’ve seen other terms used more recently—cognitive offloading, cognitive atrophy, even cognitive surrender."

This address delivered at the Nat Press Club on 9/11/26 by Lt. Gen Jack Shanahan is the most chilling warning of the potentially catastrophic dangers of AI that I have read yet. AND it defines the vocabulary we should use to discuss AI safety in any context: "automation bias" & "epistemic capture"

This is good! I'd add that utility workers aren't to blame for this, aside from the highest-ranking (and highest-paid) executives. But even executive pay is a drop in the ocean compared to profits for utility shareholders, who are overwhelmingly ultra-rich. Anyway, yeah, this is really good!

Remember how power bricks used to be bigger, heavier, hotter, and less powerful than power modern power supplies? The SNES power supply can provide 8.5W and this much smaller GaN USB-PD can supply 65W, at greater efficiency. Well, the same thing is probably going to happen to grid transformers. 🧵

NEW: Big new feature from me about offshore wind farms as anchors for wildlife! For example: seals swimming *into* turbine towers to, apparently, hunt fish - and scour protection at the base of turbines used by sea creatures as a dwelling place. atmos.earth/science-and-...

Offshore wind farms can pose risks to birds and marine life. But their foundations also serve as artificial reefs, offering essential habit.
