Integrated a local #SonarQube instance paired with their SonarQube #MCP into my #AI coding workflow and this seems to be quite helpful.

Funky to see ChatGPT using Perl to get stuff done 😳.

Did you get that memo?

Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...

You are deep down the #raingauge 🌧️ rabbit hole when you learn about the Standard Hydrometeorological Exchange Format ( #SHEF ) & care about PC (Accumulator) and PP (Increment). Subsequently you start shopping for rain gauges, learn about #CoCoRaHS and press buy on a #TROPO Precipitation Gauge 😳.

Oh crap, NASA Madrid DSN station, 1/3 of our capacity to communicate with spacecraft at the Moon and beyond.

@apidia.net here is a new project for you... ;-) github.com/sheetmusic4j...

OK this is a HILARIOUS story I heard from inside Meta: You know when Director+ folks post AI slop as "thought leader" posts? But everyone is too polite to say anything. Happened a ton inside Meta's internal "LinkedIn" (Workplace**) BUT morale is so low that lots of devs no longer gave a damn. So:

I have been relying on #NOAA rainfall graphs to get precipitation data for #Hawaii but (Due to funding cuts?) no more data past March 😢. What do you do on a 6h train ride across 🇩🇪? Vibe-code a new #SpringBoot based dashboard. The initial result using #ChatGPT 5.6 Sol is very good 🤙. #Java #AI 🧵1/2

NEW ANALYSIS: One of the most consequential discoveries of the 20th century is marked by a small blue plaque near my office. The lithium-ion cathode, Oxford, 1980. Grid batteries have since gone from one 5 MW project to 267 GW worldwide. New Bright Spots 👇 open.substack.com/pub/janrosen...

Batteries are quietly rewiring the grid

From a plaque in Oxford to a third of California's electricity peak: how batteries revolutionise the grid.

1/3 Weekend Wanderings. 1 of the Mega projects is the Valley Clean Infrastructure Plan, California, USA: 21 GW. "Collectively, these projects presage a future when the sunniest, most remote places in the world serve as electrical breadbaskets" 🔌💡 www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...?

How big can solar go? These 3 projects show us the gigascale future

A handful of sensationally large developments are underway around the world, testing just how big solar can get.

I’ve been saying for years that this is the most important area of climate science. The research could be used in legal cases against fossil fuel companies for damages caused by extreme weather events. Follow @frediotto.bsky.social and others at @wwattribution.bsky.social for more.

Attribution science is advancing quickly, researchers said. That could support lawsuits seeking damages for severe events worsened by global warming.

Always stoked when the new #Floribunda 🌴 pricelist gets updated www.floribunda.xyz/pricelist/ Obsessions of a #palmcollector 🫡

Die deutsche Autoindustrie hat das unfassbare Kunststück fertiggekriegt, sich durch Lobbyismus und korrupte Politiker selbst zugrunde zu richten.

What's up with #Lufthansa and carry-on luggage? Traveling half around the planet with half a dozen airlines without issues but once you hit that #German rigidity, yikes 😕.

Maybe late to the game but I just saw my first "tray-robot" 🤖 in action at the #Bilbao airport 🇪🇸🇪🇺.

Google Earth Pro will be no longer avaliable for download from June 2027 onwards. It's one of the tools that made my early work possible, so it's really sad to see it go. support.google.com/earth/thread...

Have been in the world of #ONNX and vector similarity search for image data using #Java in #Postgres using #pgvector. It seems to start working 🙂. It is a fun #AI leaning curve.

Being hit by people driving cars is the primary cause of pueo* deaths in Hawaiʻi. *a subspecies of the short-eared owl endemic to Hawaiʻi.

Native bird deaths linked to cars, disease: Study

A recent study found cars are the primary cause of pueo, or Hawaiian short-eared owl, deaths in Hawaiʻi.

Soon they will blame it all on El Niño. When I read about the trials of Galileo Galilei or Giordano Bruno as a teenager, I never imagined I would one day see the government of the world’s leading scientific power turn against science - and against the Earth itself. We are now in a planetary fight.

Wastewater and #Hawaii is a source of stories that keeps on giving 🎉. The nearby Home Depot is not even connected to the Kealakehe Wastewater Treatment Plant ... ("Minimally treated" ??) 💩 is directly pumped into the aquefier 😳.

After a legal settlement, Hawaiʻi County agreed to upgrade the Kealakehe Wastewater Treatment Plant beginning in March. Now the project is four months overdue and the county could face a hefty fine.

Interesting that the Botanical Garden at University #Hawaii - #Hilo seems to be the only #BGCI accredited garden in the state. It is a small 8100m² (2ac) garden but has a substantial cycad & palm collection incl. the amazing Tahina spectabilis. Also: It is free 🙂. gardensearch.bgci.org/garden/7049

DWD Germany announced that the new national record of highest temperature is 41.8C at Mockern-Drewitz on 27 June after reviewing its missing transmission data.

Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD)@dwdderwetterdienst.bsky.social · last mo.

Update: Der vorläufige Höchstwert wurde nach Prüfung der Messdaten angepasst. In Möckern-Drewitz lag die Maximaltemperatur am 27. Juni nicht bei 41,5 °C, sondern bei 41,8 °C – verursacht durch eine kurzzeitige Übertragungslücke. Alle Werte bleiben bis zur Abschlussprüfung vorläufig.
