some personal news: I'm headed back to the Last Frontier next month on a 120-day temporary promotion detail as chief of interpretation of Glacier Bay National Park. it's a welcome return to Southeast Alaska - I began my interpretive career 16 years ago on the Tongass National Forest.

Oh look, yet another major hurricane forecasted in the east Pacific. 35% of the latest DeepMind ensembles strengthen 21E into a Cat 5 later this week.

NHC’s first forecast for tropical depression 21E takes it northwest, strengthening into a hurricane Wednesday and cat 4 by Friday.

When I lived in Fairbanks, I remember looking at a bag of clementines in Fred Meyer, marked "Produce of Chile" and realizing they'd traveled halfway around the world to end up in a supermarket in Alaska in the middle of winter. It's kind of mind-boggling.

There's a big difference between doing 75 in a 70 in a rural area with very little traffic and doing 40 in a 25 in an urban neighborhood.

As someone who represented death row inmates in a state that abolished (DE), a state with a long moratorium (PA) and on the fed row (client received clemency from Biden), this bothsides argument is ridiculous. The difference in fates between an inmate in a Dem state & in a GOP state is stark.

I keep trying to think of any historical example where a given technology's PROMOTERS AND TRUE BELIEVERS were like 'we are absolutely going to ruin your fucking life so be prepared like it's the end of the world'

Andrew Curran: Axios is reporting that the top labs are wargaming scenarios for the aftermath of a catastrophic event in the next 6 - 12 months, that some executives now see as being inevitable.

Axios: Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAl and other Al companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event.
Why it matters: These officials anticipate a large-scale event, most likely a cyberattack, that shuts down access to financial services, internet connectivity, or even power and water.

Edouard Harris: This is our view as well. Relatedly, average people will want to increase their level of personal resilience and preparedness as their resources allow. We will be publishing about this soon.

Nick Farina: Best ways to be prepared? Generators, water, books and DVDs?

Edouard Harris: Power, water, food, sanitation for most part. Parts of this depend on your geo latitude - solar vs propane for eg.

But also: set aside a computer that is not (and ideally has never been) connected to the internet. Buy faraday pouches and tape. Print out essential docs on paper.

Anyone dumb enough to believe that Donald Trump and Elon Musk would actually want to increase government efficiency lacks object permanence and should be placed under financial guardianship so they don't have their wallet inspected every five minutes.

The purpose of DOGE was for billionaire oligarchs to dismantle the parts of the federal government that do good things for people. It was not a missed opportunity, it accomplished precisely what it was designed to do.
