New set is fully spoiled so it is that time to look at how does the removal align against creature sizing. We do have Vehicles in this set, all 40 of them, and because of the volume, I decided to include them in the data. It makes even more sense given lots of removal specifically names them.

When the bubble pops, and it will, you’re not just looking at a few Johnny-come-lately companies shuttering. This is a load-bearing delusion. The entire tech industry is fucked because they all bought in, every VC firm bought in, investors have everything in it. They need to make you like it.
Look: The thing you need to understand about genAI is that every Next Big SV Thing of the last 15 years—NFTs, Web3, Metaverse, VR—has been utterly rejected by the market and the tech grifters know this is their last chance, no more. That’s why there is an apocalyptic level of capital invested in it.

I've seen some folks fearing that Musk might actually be able to purchase Hasbro or D&D. Or laughing at how he'll do it. The thing is, the money isn't there to do it. He literally cannot.

Let's review this. First, there's not a buyout clause. He has to approach the board to make an offer.

I don’t have a proper geology beard and I am not very good at looking at rocks (though maybe on a screen it’s not so threatening) but I am a geophysicist and it’s worrying to be a species in decline around the world. 🦤⚒️

Who wants to be a geophysicist?
Why aren't students signing up to study geophysics? Are they unaware of how in-demand it is? Or are they just too cool for geophysics school?

Big data in #Brazil suggests widespread potential for #river water loss to #aquifers particularly where there's extensive #groundwater pumping. Highlights need for conjunctive groundwater & surface #water management to balance water use & ecosystem needs www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Widespread potential for streamflow leakage across Brazil - Nature Communications
Most Brazilian rivers are found to have the potential for stream water losses into underlying aquifers, especially in drier climates, thicker aquifers, and regions with extensive groundwater pumping.

Trying something new:
A 🧵 on a topic I find many students struggle with: "why do their 📊 look more professional than my 📊?"

It's *lots* of tiny decisions that aren't the defaults in many libraries, so let's break down 1 simple graph by @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social

I'll stop there.

tl;dr - we don't explicitly teach enough of the little design decisions that make charts *feel* professional.

If folks find this useful, let me know. I might do more in the future.

-Snow droughts lead to ⬇️ annual streamflow, ⬇️ maximum and minimum flows, ⬇️ runoff ratios, ⬆️ low flow days and earlier streamflow timing
-Consecutive snow droughts further reduce runoff ratios and increase low flow days, likely due to additional subsurface storage depletion

Folks really enjoyed the photos of the ground-truth campaign for this work, so I thought I should show some of the geophysical impetus for those. These are EM cross sections through the bars. Cool colors are fine grained, warmer colors are coarse grained sediment #geophysics #hydrology #geology
