Spanish astroparticle physicist making spacecraft in Italy.

Long overdue 🔔 INTRO 🔔 ! 😅

Currently my work revolves around LISA and NGGM (among other cool Moon stuff when there's free time), in Italy. Five years ago I was moving into this industry from my previous academic career in neutrino and nuclear physics, in Japan, Italy and the US.

Feels great here!

So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago.

And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.

La Comisión Europea puede decidir en cualquier momento dejar de utilizar la plataforma de este señor. El momento ideal habría sido cuando lo del saludo nazi, pero ahora es mejor que más tarde.
The European Commission has lost access to its control panel for buying and tracking ads on Elon Musk’s X — after fining the social media platform €120 million for violating EU transparency rules.
X axes European Commission’s ad account after €120M EU fine
Nikita Bier, X’s head of product, accused the EU executive of trying to amplify its own social media post about the fine on X by trying “to take advantage of an exploit in our Ad Composer.”…

Meloni as Trump's Trojan horse in EU: she welcomes US disengagement from Europe because "if Europe wants to be great, it must defend itself" but in Brussel she keeps blocking any initiative to implement common defense. And Salvini, her junior partner in the coalition, openly roots for Putin.
Ribadisco: L'ipocrisia del "difendersi da sola" detta da una che da sempre rifiuta una difesa armata Ue contro la Russia oltre un unico esercito europeo, è semplicemente rivoltante

Hace tres semanas se puso en órbita la unidad II del programa satelital SpainSat NG, que duplica (del 21% al 45%) los componentes de fabricación española de la generación anterior (2006) y nos coloca entre los 8-10 países líderes del sector.

Cero conversación pública al respecto. Para reflexionar.

Even right-wing propagandists think X has a right-wing propaganda problem that is poisoning people's brains.

That should cause concern among the many media / politics types who still use it and who consider their feeds to be representative of the public's views.
Ben Shapiro tells Megyn Kelly that to avoid vile extremists like Nick Fuentes “the first thing people need to do is turn off X, which is poisoning brains and making people think not true things.” Yet, Shapiro continues to post there, often multiple times a day. youtu.be/tprng5mObQg?...

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

Developer: Yeah I reckon the AI coding tools make me about 20% faster

Narrator: The AI tools made them 19% slower
metr.org METR @metr.org · Jul 10
We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.

The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Un buen día para recordar esto: los servicios y cargos públicos no pueden obligarnos a usar una red privada y opaca para informarnos, y deberían por ley tener presencia en redes abiertas. Además de eso, por higiene democrática, deberían abandonar X ya mismo.
Uno de los múltiples melones que hay que abrir es que las redes sociales privadas, y en especial Twitter, funcionan como altavoz de servicios y cargos públicos. Es lo que más urge cambiar y lo que va a crear más resistencias para abandonarlas.
Bueno, y nuestro Gobierno y las instituciones que deberían velar por el orden democrático y nuestro bienestar piensan pronunciarse sobre el tema de que las redes donde realizan su comunicación estén en manos de nazis intentando considerar lo LGTBIQ+ una enfermedad de nuevo, o...?

a point I make over and over re: climate change is that there’s no point at which it’s time to throw up your hands and give up, because each tenth of a degree you can prevent is worth it

2C is better than 2.1C is better than 2.2C and so on and so forth
