Loads of healthy Mule deer by Uvas Park!

Oooh trying a different flavor!

Ever feel like you're actually living that nightmare in which you open your mouth to cry out, but no sound comes? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Does cutting the greasy parts from pizza boxes and recycling the rest help? #recycling

Anyone know good ground truth datasets for different tropical plantation boundaries? #remotesensing

Anthropic blocks use of Sonnet 5.5 for cybersec questions now. Looks like it can’t differentiate between hardening a service I own vs attacking another service. Very disappointing.

The latest update to region Nino 3.4 sea surface temperatures is not only a new record daily High, but also a new record anomaly, now 3.46 C above the 1991 to 2020 Baseline.

Awesome poster at #nokings San Jose!

Tule Elk in San Jose!

So many prints on the trail today at Alum Rock Park! These are raccoon apparently! 🦝

A global survey shows low overall awareness of #invasivespecies and little support for their #management – a new study with a large international team led by @ananovoaperez.bsky.social now out in iScience doi.org/10.1016/j.is... #biologicalinvasions #alienspecies #nonnative #pests #conservation

intercalationstation.substack.com/p/we-lost-th... So true, also many of them just gloss over the connection with local communities and actually solving climate change instead of providing insights which aren’t actioned upon.

Reminder! Today is the LAST day for comments on USDA’s proposal to rescind the Roadless Rule of 2001. Please leave comments as soon as you can _opposing_ removal of this Rule here- www.regulations.gov/document/FS-.... This would be disastrous for biodiversity and the ecosystems there.

Picked up this very useful book from a local bookstore. I almost never open Merlin fast enough and my camera barely captures birds at long distances (except big hawks/eagles). Would be absolutely perfect if they also included a picture of the underside of the bird with their wings spread out.

OpenSecrets opened my eyes to how people I know- who are significantly wealthier than me- donate so little, if at all, to political causes. And these people all have kids. Very disappointed.

This is wonderful! I recently visited Mahabalipuram- which is much further south- I knew seeing (live) Olive Ridley turtles there are rare but was hoping I’d be lucky. I’m glad they are successful in Odisha and hope they are safe and healthy for many many more generations 🇮🇳

It is a huge shame to see so much language attributing agency, intent and thought to a software program, when all that should be attributed to the humans who designed a dangerously clumsy and broken looping LLM. Means the companies won't be held accountable for designing a bad product

Wtf are we even doing

I just realized there is a breed of tiny cow! Called Punganur, from India. There’s an even tinier Nadipathy breed which is the size of a Labrador.

San Jose can we do the same too please? @mattmahansj.bsky.social

Comment like your lives depend on it! I usually try to be professional and data driven- despite this being something that would cause me much grief if not stopped.

Just wanted to “happy rant” about how much I love Virgin Atlantic ❤️!! Amazing vegan meals and all the default snacks and drinks are vegan too 💚. Flown two long distance (intercontinent) flights using them over the last few years. Would recommend them if they are an option on your route.

Just watched “9 to 5” love it so much

The list of software industry trends below resonates with what I’m seeing and hearing from friends. • IDE usage has plummeted in favor of coding agent CLIs. • Flattening, Super ICs and career development is on the back burner everywhere. • Costs now matter for AI tokens. • Everyone is overworked.

Every one has multiple things going on in life - I guess this administration doesn’t know how to do basic things like ✨prioritize✨? Oh the do prioritize- billionaires and pointless wars that benefit them, if anyone at all. Meanwhile America suffers.

Like he “promised” to end the war in Ukraine and bring down gas prices?

He’s so used to Grok fabricating fabricating stuff for him he thought he’d try IRL 🫠

I have said for the last ten years at least that Donald Trump is the most un-American scumbag there is. To blatantly lie about one of the darkest days in American history is beyond infuriating.

Everyone loves watching green turtles in Maui while snorkeling- but few know how dire their situation was before the Endangered species act of 1978. There were no nesting sites on main islands and populations were 20% of their population pre exploitation by humans. Thanks to ESA it’s back at 80%!

It’s unfortunate the Google Maps+ Nano banana was taken offline so fast. Would have been interesting to see what it would look like to cover our national forests in data centers 🙄

Sumatran Rhinos and Elephants build useful tracts and watering holes with their activity which support other species in the ecosystem. So did indigenous peoples, now we’re just dissecting them and draining resources.

Just listened to a Mongabay podcast on Neha Sinha’s new book! Really related to it as someone who has relatively recently begun to take action to protect biodiversity- and would love to do more- especially in India! Can’t wait to read it!

San Jose is so beautiful when you spend enough time outside and can see native species ❤️🌱 Just saw a coyote on Montgomery Hill while going for a run last evening and saw some huge deer on the hill above Silver Creek Valley road. Drive slow, enjoy the scenery
