One of the first issues I reported when I came into the climate beat is high water intensity of coal power plants. It is a less-discussed issue compared to CO2 emissions & air pollution. What makes it worse is the lack of independent oversight & monitoring in India www.indiaspend.com/barely-regul...

As we look back on World Oceans Day, remember: our fossil fuel combustion adds about 14 zettajoules of extra heat to the oceans every year. Mankind’s entire energy production is only half a zettajoule.

Every dictatorship requires a boogeyman that justifies suspending civil liberties and arresting the opposition. It doesn't really matter who the boogeyman is. It's a means to an end

These are working out ... a bit too well. The pants feel so light that I get an occasional fraction-of-a-second panic (especially when mentally occupied with something) and look down to check that I'm actually wearing pants!

1/ Since it's open season on the Chinese in the US right now, I wanted to post about a remarkable Chinese-American experience that is one of the real gems of New England, making the region and country better in every way. It's about jazz and blues music. ↵

While the US has a historical obsession with pointing a collective finger at one person who if removed would result in normalcy, it is the more-than-half of voters who will have blood on their hands. Not just in the US, in India too where it is happening in slow motion.

Only got 3 hours of sleep rip but nice progress today! Next up, stars. Love how the triangles are different colors yet blend in. That’s bc this supernova remnant is a composite image from multiple telescopes, & each triangle is like a cross section at a certain part of the electromagnetic spectrum ✨

startupwired.com/2025/05/30/b... "While the company marketed itself as an AI-powered platform, much of the actual software development work reportedly came from human developers based in India." - the grift is reminiscent of ~2000 .. & likely does disservice to the real utility of LLMs for SW dev.

It's kind of funny how these "projections" are thrown around so casually 'cos none of the other party countries seem to be saying anything about them.

If, like me, you've been itching to have a poke around in the API traffic from Claude Code to see how it works under the hood... Mario Zechner built a delightful tool for doing exactly that https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/2/claude-trace/

Got myself some cricket attire - pants and t-shirts - 'cos they're super comfortable for #Chennai heat, especially during summer and if you do anything outdoorsy at all like biking. Highly recommend. Decathlon has some good options and so does Sportus.

Why the science of weather prediction matters. "N Ravi, a cowpea farmer in Mandya’s Alakere, says they had received inputs from the agriculture dept regarding early & above normal monsoon; so, we had prepared our fields by April-end itself." www.deccanherald.com/india/karnat...

Recently replaced batteries on my bike meter after about a year, so the odometer only recently started rolling again. This covers perhaps < 3 years of biking. I bike mostly for commute in #Chennai, so if I'd used a car, that's ₹70k atleast in fuel savings and approx 2tonnes of CO² emissions avoided?

Naur's essay is one of those writings in CS that's aged very well. As relevant today as ever. Reconstructing a program from its code is like reconstructing a symphony from its notation.
