She conducted La Mer, one of my favorite orchestral pieces, and one I’ve probably heard them play a dozen times. She said she felt humbled and grateful at taking on the role, and she exuded a really direct, open, youthful energy.<br/>She also conducted Sascha Cooke, a long time collaborator of MTT’s, and they had a pretty emotional passing-the-torch moment in his memory. Everyone felt his presence, and his blessing, so strongly.<br/>No one can replace MTT, of course, and I’m still pretty heartbroken that we couldn’t keep Esa-Pekka, but Chan seems poised to bring on a new era.

Reminds me of Mary Meeker’s classic yearly Internet Trends decks, but for climate tech. It’s that valuable, and useful.<br/>Some takeaways, in no particular order:<br/><br/>Land use emissions are at their lowest in 60y<br/>Almost 25% of emissions fall under some price on carbon regime<br/>Electricity passed oil as the single largest form of energy in ~2005. It provided ~70EJ of energy in 2025, vs &lt; 50EJ from oil, the next largest form<br/>China now generates 40% more electricity (10k TWh) than US + EU combined (7TWh)!<br/>China’s CO2 emissions have been flat for the last 2+y. India’s is effectively flat now too. (US and EU are 10-20% down from their peaks in ~2010.)<br/>Price of oil has trended steadily down 4y, from $120/barrel peaks in 2022 to $60 now. Plus, we’re currently at 5M barrels/day of oversupply, and rising sharply<br/>US public opinion on nuclear has risen sharply, 61% favorable now, vs 44% 10y ago<br/>Related: global annual nuclear investment has more than doubled in the last 10y, from ~$32B to ~$74B.

You can choose how much to give up, based on the license, but you pretty much always end up with less control than if you kept it closed source.<br/>That’s good! It’s the point. I tend to license my open source work as public domain, which gives up as much control as possible, but that’s just me.<br/>Regardless, once you’ve given up control, it’s gone. You can re-license going forward, but not retroactively. You can’t – or at least, shouldn’t – try to claw back control later. You gave it up. That’s the whole point. 2025-06-06T09:52:51Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2l3uvfw0v4wc84ncjdtmwy435t7u99h8vvxgtdnuahd78nz4qudszyq4gfp9sm7ymjm3mahe8pk8uuljv5vccjwqek485j5x2ychpqcwagfm80yv <br/><br/> <img src="https://i0.wp.com/snarfed.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/pxl_20250524_2024115305672502834071950881.jpg?resize=696%2C523&amp;ssl=1"> 2025-05-23T22:49:18Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxa9tlzasplezenxmv6ykxplp7zu0e2lsr4067c4spzmd6elysf6szyq4gfp9sm7ymjm3mahe8pk8uuljv5vccjwqek485j5x2ychpqcwag0dp95v Last night’s dream: I was on a TV game show where I had to search for Snoop Dogg, Tupac, and other ’90s rappers dressed in furry animal costumes, hiding in a basement. When I found one, they’d try to convince me to let them go. Nas said he was a nuclear scientist on the run from the Iranian government. 2025-05-23T22:49:18Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsy28h9gqvh9c3ml4dcmwfp7g68mft0r0cuez7wh86g05np4gsj76czyq4gfp9sm7ymjm3mahe8pk8uuljv5vccjwqek485j5x2ychpqcwagc925cg <br/><br/> <img src="https://i0.wp.com/snarfed.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/techbro_techdad_meme.png?resize=490%2C490&amp;ssl=1"> 2025-05-23T22:49:18Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswuyhywhsk9rk645dk3h4lltle9uqw53kz6zm8rscty8lueg2tf7gzyq4gfp9sm7ymjm3mahe8pk8uuljv5vccjwqek485j5x2ychpqcwagd8hpyp group chat topic of the day: papal conclave betting odds 2025-05-06T01:52:00Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0grgjdw882s7672mf4xhwq2g8yc5t8t8njcde7622teezan6vd9gzyq4gfp9sm7ymjm3mahe8pk8uuljv5vccjwqek485j5x2ychpqcwag80fxpa <br/>Error from Emacs vc-mode just now:<br/><br/>Hunk seriously messed up<br/><br/>…you and me both, Emacs, you and me both<br/> 2025-04-04T19:07:52Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspn68vheqz6asz3zkgh9ty30daw8kra7tdvxfvwe04p520mjj39lgzyq4gfp9sm7ymjm3mahe8pk8uuljv5vccjwqek485j5x2ychpqcwagtj2dhd current status<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/> <img src="https://i0.wp.com/snarfed.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/vis_two_deep_split_before.png?resize=677%2C445&amp;ssl=1"> <br/> <img src="https://i0.wp.com/snarfed.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/vis_two_deep_split_after.png?resize=696%2C546&amp;ssl=1"> 2025-04-04T19:07:52Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqst5s5pl6ewd00efxk9k99lh950dkumgx3z23z7ue838stmkqsr4rqzyq4gfp9sm7ymjm3mahe8pk8uuljv5vccjwqek485j5x2ychpqcwag0a4x9l <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/> <img src="https://i0.wp.com/snarfed.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/pxl_20250401_1555531894969468957714265676.jpg?resize=696%2C927&amp;ssl=1"> <br/> <img src="https://i0.wp.com/snarfed.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/pxl_20250401_1555589958222286131542173546.jpg?resize=696%2C927&amp;ssl=1"> <br/> <img src="https://i0.wp.com/snarfed.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/pxl_20250401_1556037291615861197700053309.jpg?resize=696%2C927&amp;ssl=1"> 2025-03-31T13:15:18Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrpp5ezk6jan2qyxatv9q0t7jugs2dgppm4l8xw8tggvs0mu79k8gzyq4gfp9sm7ymjm3mahe8pk8uuljv5vccjwqek485j5x2ychpqcwagej9tlx <br/><br/> <img src="https://i0.wp.com/snarfed.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/1000018190.jpg?resize=696%2C181&amp;ssl=1"> 2025-03-31T13:15:18Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswuhps7nw0yp84wnquml5nz6qgfkgv3zq5lllmc6h88jg0njqvl0szyq4gfp9sm7ymjm3mahe8pk8uuljv5vccjwqek485j5x2ychpqcwag52c6fs If you find yourself saying “this time is different,” think first. History rhymes pretty damn hard, human nature doesn’t change much, if at all, and the very few times that genuinely do turn out to be different, we don’t tend to see or call out early on. Predicting the future is difficult, and we’re not good at it.<br/>It may feel good to think we’re special, living in a special unique time, and occasionally we are, but not often. End of history illusion, etc.<br/>This time is probably not different. At least, not significantly. And that’s ok.<br/>(This is not a subtweet about anything in particular, not even politics. Promise. But whatever you’re thinking about, it may still apply!) 2025-03-14T22:46:28Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswr3g8s257evwn9w526drfzmgcth6mg309smmafgsewgtrazp624czyq4gfp9sm7ymjm3mahe8pk8uuljv5vccjwqek485j5x2ychpqcwaglz7v7f For years now, we’ve been giving our 10yo a weekly allowance, and generally not buying her toys or video games etc, so that she has to buy them herself.

I’ve been building a bridge to Bluesky, and they’re turning on federation soon, which means my bridge will be available soon too. You’ll be able to follow people on Bluesky from here in the fediverse, and vice versa.<br/>Bluesky is a broad network with lots of worthwhile people and conversations! I hope you’ll give it a chance. Only fully public content is bridged, not followers-only or otherwise private posts or profiles. Still, if you want to opt out, I understand. Feel free to DM me at @snarfed@indieweb.social (different account than this one), email me, file a GitHub issue, or put #nobridge in your profile bio.<br/>A number of us have thought about this for a while now, we’re committed to making it work well for everyone, and we’re very open to feedback. Thanks for listening. Feel free to share broadly. 2024-02-12T15:50:49Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs22za423gfst9f0lyz3qk4za3jl5k6qef3wkuuuame0ssdwh0x6yqzyq4gfp9sm7ymjm3mahe8pk8uuljv5vccjwqek485j5x2ychpqcwag4r8eyr <br/><br/><br/>Bridgy Fed now supports all web sites! You can now use it from the fediverse to see and follow any site, regardless of whether it has microformats2, webmentions, or WebFinger. Bridgy Fed extracts as much profile info as it can, generates fediverse posts from Atom and RSS feeds, and so on.<br/>Web sites start out bridged to the fediverse as [domain]@web.brid.gy. For example, to see new nature.com articles in your fediverse feed, follow @nature.com@web.brid.gy. And as always, if you have a web site, you can upgrade Bridgy Fed to use its domain in its fediverse handle, like mine at @snarfed.org@snarfed.org.<br/>(I’ve loved seeing other similar bridges recently too, including @twilliability@genart.social‘s RSS Parrot and @dave@podcastindex.social‘s pi-activitypub-server. We’re all pulling in the same direction!)<br/>This is one more step toward making Bridgy Fed support people wherever they are, on any network, fully bidirectionally. Stay tuned for more! 2024-01-09T23:22:09Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrcvdrcd6apg6lgl4a3le7cvuupmxx3sm6wcma4guhs4wwn2evt2qzyq4gfp9sm7ymjm3mahe8pk8uuljv5vccjwqek485j5x2ychpqcwagu96wau Wow. Never thought I’d see the day that Mickey Mouse would lose his copyright and enter the public domain, but it’s finally happened. The internet may have long since moved on to newer, stranger battles, but the old graybeard hell of copyright wars has finally frozen over. Truly the end of an era. 2024-01-01T13:37:42Z
