Everything about this - including the makeup of the panel - is absolutely insane.

I feel like Gavin Newsome is having meetings where the big question of the hour is “What do people not want OR need”
If you care about traffic — if you care about not being late to work, coming home to your kids, and saving your time — you have to care about GenAI.
GenAI has come to traffic management, and this cutting-edge tool will help the state better serve all Californians.

Update on this. Apparently the bill just passed the House... 409-2.
So, uh, yeah. A ton of Dems just gave the Trump FTC more power to censor the internet. Great job guys.

Take It Down Act is a total censorial mess. And yet, a ton of "progressive" Dems are supporting it, even as it will enable the highly politicized and weaponized FTC to go after websites and demand content be removed from the internet. www.techdirt.com/2025/04/28/c...
Congress Moving Forward On Unconstitutional Take It Down Act
Here’s a puzzle: How do you write a law that’s so badly designed that (1) the people it’s meant to help oppose it, (2) the people who hate regulation support it, and (3) everyone …

Watch seismic waves from the M7.7 earthquake in Myanmar ripple across North America.
This animation, called a Ground Motion Visualization (GMV), shows how the ground moved as detected by seismometers across the continent.

This is great.
Scale makes this very different, but it reminds me of when I used to use the words "collide" or "collision" in talking about galaxies and my audiences were coming away with the impression that things would physically smash into each other. Now I try to say "interact," "merge," etc.

A scicomm subtlety here: Is it ever permissible to talk about particles "touching"? What does it mean to "touch" in that context? When you "touch" something with your hand, you're allowing electron interactions to occur. Is there "space" between or not?
(I think the term is fine, in this context.)
(I think the term is fine, in this context.)
If you let an electron touch a positron (anti-matter version of electron) they'll both annihilate into gamma rays but if you are VERY careful and let them get close but NOT touch then they can form a bound state called positronium that acts kinda like a hydrogen atom for a few hundred nanoseconds 💫

The thing about letting things burn up in the atmosphere is that they're still *there* -- just in gas form instead of solid. So like sure it doesn't hit you on the head (good!) but it might mess with the chemistry of the atmosphere (real bad!) and/or become stuff that you breathe (not great either!)
“The demise of just one Gen1 Starlink satellite produces about 30 kilograms (66 pounds) of aluminum oxide, a compound that eats away at the ozone layer. A new study finds these oxides have increased 8-fold between 2016 and 2022, and the recent surge is increasing the pollution even more.”
