You gotta learn to search better.
This experiment of putting the worst people in charge of government should be over.
EXCLUSIVE: Jay Graber stepping down as CEO of Bluesky www.wired.com/story/bluesk...
I thought Bush was the biggest jackass we would ever see in office.
What about this?
If it’s the right size.
Here’s my magical device that protects me from oil shocks.
I have a magical device in my driveway that protects me from oil price shocks, emasculates petrothugs, slows the rising seas, and powers my car. During times like these, worth considering!
Love this! @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social is here.
Nature also found that science agencies lost around 20 per cent of their administrative staff last year (and about 25,000 staff and scientists in total). David Ho, a professor in the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology at the University of Hawai'i at Mänoa, noted that those staff losses include "programme managers in charge of giving out funds. As a result, even though Congress has appropriated the funding, federal agencies are finding it difficult to distribute it in the most optimal way," he said. Remaining staff have reported struggling to keep up with workloads and Ho also fears that in such circumstances the agencies are likely to favour established scientists rather than junior ones for funding since, without the time to properly scrutinise applications, programme managers are likely to err on the side of caution.
US science budgets have been spared. So why is no one celebrating? Among other things, many of us are worried about how junior scientists (i.e., those who are the future of science) are being affected. 🧪

Always read the great @janeaflegal.bsky.social. Rapid data center growth presents a chance to modernize the aging US power grid. We can leverage these projects to fund infrastructure upgrades to create a resilient, clean, and efficient grid for both tech and public benefit. 🔌💡
Ugh, another reason I can’t wait for the world to decarbonize asap.
If you look at the GCB figure from @pfriedling.bsky.social, it’s annual ocean CO₂ sink. You can’t do that with Taro’s maps because they’re just for one climatological year (I think of 2000).
What Taro Takahashi did (linear regression to give monthly pCO₂ climatology based on 40 years of data) vs. the modern ML methods (like SOM-FFN and others), where you get a monthly pCO₂ map for every year, is night and day. We obviously can’t generate what’s used in GCB using the non-ML methods.
It was the worst of times, it was…no, that’s all.
We know the ocean carbon sink because of ML. Our measurements of pCO₂ are too sparse in space and time.
Kinda crazy that half the world’s population gets a day.
The strawberry guava, considered one of the 100 worst invasive species by the IUCN, also chokes out native plants like ʻōhiʻa and koa in Hawaiʻi.
Omg
But lots of additional CO₂ emissions.
Burning fossil fuels for energy is a bad idea. Setting fossil fuels on fire for no economic benefit or marginal utility is total bullshit.
Met a young Brit flying to LAX to take a road trip with friends through the American southwest for two weeks. He asked if I had any suggestions.
I said in all seriousness: “Don’t get detained by ICE or Border Patrol agents.”
Where else would I get my panda, okapi, and Victoria crowned pigeon fixes?
Well, look at that. My BBC documentary on the science of sound from years ago has just popped up on the BBC Earth Science channel. If you fancy some cool sound science in your day, here you go:
