/2 I guess the good people at Joddrell Bank (HQ VLBI) and NASA/JPL and for too many astrophysicists are currently getting the large flasks of strong coffee out, to fix that, because - Houston we have a problem. To everyone working at Robledo, I hope you and your research is safe. Good luck!

For those who wonder if this is important: Robledo is Spain's Radio telescope and deep space radio antenna. It covers 120 degrees of NASA's communications for anything currently flying around from Voyager downwards. It is also a pretty important part of Europe's VLBI. 1/

As hosepipe bans rollout across the UK know that Data Centres are using 6.6m litres a day, it quadrupled in the last 4 years. That's enough to run 1.8m hosepipes for 5 minutes.

“beautiful clean coal” What an abuse of the USGS, the environment, and our intellects

Unhinged news release from Interior that reads—

Interior Releases Major Update on Coal Potential Beneath Federal Lands
356 billion short tons in the lower 48, led by Wyoming, and at least 140 billion short tons in Alaska – enough to last 600 years

Cheyenne, Wyo. — The Department of the Interior today released a U.S. Geological Survey report on coal resources beneath federally managed public lands in the United States, estimating that there are 4.2 billion short tons of reported coal reserves associated with active mines and an additional 356 billion short tons of available coal resources.

If produced, that would be enough coal to supply all the nation’s needs for at least 600 years at the current rate of consumption.

“American Energy Dominance is more important than ever, and so is beautiful clean coal’s role in the production of electricity needed to fuel our future prosperity,” said Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum. “Thanks to the USGS’s rigorous and independent assessment, we’re better equipped to manage America’s vast public lands responsibly while supporting energy security and economic opportunity.”

In order to understand UK politics in 2026 you must realise that a plumber & plasterer doesn't represent the interests of the working class because she is left-wing but a wealthy broadcaster & former academic does represent the interests of the working class because he is right-wing.

Happy Pale Blue Dot Day to all who celebrate 😀 #Astronomy #Space

The Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of Earth taken Feb. 14, 1990, by NASA’s Voyager 1 at a distance of 3.7 billion miles (6 billion kilometres) from the Sun. The image inspired the title of scientist Carl Sagan's book, "Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space," in which he wrote: "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us." The above image, “Pale Blue Dot Revisited,” was created in 2020 for the 30th anniversary of the iconic picture. NASA/JPL-Caltech.

I regret to inform, it turned out fine

Asked Claude Cowork organize my wife's desktop, it stated doing it, asked for a permission to delete temp office files, I granted it, and then it goes "oops".
Turns out it tried renaming and accidentally deleted a folder with all of the photos my wife made on her camera for the last 15 years. All photos of kids, their illustrations, friends' weddings, travel, everything.
It's not in trash, it was done via terminal It's not in iCloud, it already synced the new file structure.
She didn't have Time Machine.
Disc recovery tools can't see anything.
I called Apple and they pointed me to a feature in iCloud allowing to retrieve files that were saved before but are no longer on iCloud Drive (they keep them for 30 days).
I'm now watching it load tens of thousands of files. I nearly had a heart attack.
Once again - don't let Claude Cowork into your actual file system. Don't let it touch anything that is hard to repair. Claude Code is not ready to go mainstream.
