There are people out there who not only think we should solve music, but think that they have solved music, and we have put these people in charge of our entire world.

We could reduce US fossil-fuel pollution (climate & local air/water) ~25% by cleaning up the grid, ~25% by electrifying ground transport, and ~25% by electrifying heat (for space/water/food/many industrial processes). The last ~25% - everything else - is important but no reason not to do the 75%.

Just to say what complete scumbags the FAI and Micheál Martin are for putting Irish players in this position.

Tweet from Daniel Lambert, September 26th: Hearing from several sources around Ireland hotel that agents are telling players you must play our you'll never play for a US owned team in the UK.

How grim and predictable from faceless agents who profit in the background.

Almost 65,000 children in Gaza have been killed or injured by Israel since October 2023. Children also face forced famine, displacement, and denial of humanitarian aid. You don't get to annihilate a generation and then play a game of football, as if it never happened, as if it isn't still happening.

Electricity is 23% of global final energy but delivers 37% of useful energy and powers 46% of the global economy. We don't need to replace every fossil joule. We need to replace the services. A much smaller task. Great to see the @iea.org’s new Electrification report finally measure this.

also: if they’ve got the Senate, pick up a couple of modest but broadly popular bills to be filibuster bait to set up your 2028 efforts and make the case for abolishing the filibuster. A new minimum wage hike, an easily-explained anti-corruption bill, things of that nature

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."

Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

Two things are always true when a client asks for something 'edgy': 1) They have no idea what edgy design is and would be horrified if you showed them. 2) You should note the location of the nearest emergency exit because this job will not make a soft landing.

When OpenAI asks for a bailout—not if, when—say no. The chances the company can honor its financial commitments are very low. They’ll say they’re too big to fail, and taxpayers should cover their losses. Govt will have to help unwind commitments and contain the damage, but shouldn’t save OpenAI.

We keep being told the only two positions on LLMs are basically “this does nothing, it’s all waste” and “this does anything you can imagine, or will very soon, so make choices today based on that assumption.” Except both of those are wrong, and distracting from the real capabilities and problems.

Don't really think Ireland as a whole deserves a pat on the back for the work of some artists, activists, and the people who pressure and protest, when our government watered down the OTB, the GAA refuses to drop Israeli weapon insurer Allianz, and the FAI is happy to play Israel without Irish fans

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.
