Always say "look up" when you're out for a walk.

Never quite know what you'll see.

in a fascinating era where I think people need to realize more that copyright/intellectual property is ultimately an imperfect solution. masters tools and such. like sure it provides protection for artists in an imperfect system but first and foremost it exists to protect the Capital of Capitalists and your argument shouldn't rely on it as an Absolute Ethical Truth. Walt Disney isn't going to fuck you. Some people really see AI and start dick riding copyright law instead of formulating a position based on ethics and power.

#This was inspired by a thread about open mics and rights management orgs that echoed similar fault lines in the ai disc horse rn #Like some people made musician royalty orgs out like mafiosos but others were like. dick riding for copyright law #Steamboat Willy won't fuck you man. You can admit copyright law reflects power and falls apart at folk levels of transmission/entertainment #While still acknowledging how copyright law is utilized (coarsely. Roughly.) to protect artists #Sorry I had one (1) stout at the pub

May I introduce you to my inland empire X shivers idea (I totally don’t have some crazy paragraph written about it or anything)

anon abso-fucking-lutely, tell me about it. very rarely do i ship shivers with anyone (the city of revachol is nonamorous aroace to me [<- normal phrases to say]) buuuut: 1) im a big multi-shipper and im down with any skill pairing ever, romantic or platonic, and i will always support any skillshipping 2) ooh i see the vision. the skill who personifies the world and the skill who is the world personified. i want them to poeticize the happenings of the city and dance together along the revacholian skyline.

#i want everyone to dance so this isn't anything new lmao #i dont have a solid design down for shivers yet or else i would have drawn something for you. she's difficult for me to interpret.#lightning rod or power lines imagery? la revacholiere you are so vague ma'am. i agree with everyone that she's very large of course #big as the city!! the wind twirling around power lines and cool breezes kissing her inhabitants on the forehead. but from her big form #i think she can cast lightning down and take the shape of a being of light. she can take the shape of anyone in revachol.#that's how she exists in harry's head. she's fleeting; she can't stay for long or she'll hurt harry. but she loves him; every part of him.#and my inland is a crystal ball. oh that's cute so shivers and inland kissing would make them look like a plasma ball!!#volta transmissions

here's a tech tidbit for the day. in large part, the US's current lack of green energy isn't because the tech doesn't exist or that the tech isn't cheap/competitive with fossil fuels - it's because of bureaucratic tangles and permitting delays. Right now it can take new power projects five full years just to get approved to connect to the power grid. (On average, it's taking 3.7 years).

As of the end of 2021, there was over a terawatt of green energy storage waiting to get approval to connect to the grid. That's more than all the energy currently generated in the US. For the most part, these aren't completed projects waiting to connect - they're projects that are ready to build waiting for approval before they break ground, or are partially built and getting their application in so that they're not waiting between construction and transmission. Many requests in the queue will never get built (some because they can't afford to wait in line for five years, or lose land rights, or have their interconnect denied, or require costly restudies after design changes, or for unrelated reasons) but even if the historical rate of 25% of them were to succeed, that's still hundreds of gigawatts of power and enough to more-than-replace all the coal plants in the US.

That's not the only obstacle to construction (see also: transmission capacity, load balancing, environmental studies, permitting, and a host of other factors). To be clear: waving a magic wand and lifting this particular barrier wouldn't mean green energy right away forever. But this problem is a decent representative of the type of obstacle green energy faces. Generation and transmission of energy are - largely - cheap and efficient. Getting systems approved and integrated across a morass of local, state, and federal governments, utility companies, and ISOs? Slow and hard.

#green energy #perpetually:#there is a major roadblock #that roadblock consists of a real 'technical' problem (coordination integration and construction of large infrastructure)#and a real 'social' problem (coordinating among gvts. jurisdictions. public and private companies. states. etc for payment & responsibility)#compounded and multiplied by the current structure around that social task (often major improvements rely on some random gvt worker #in a small county in Arizona which does not have enough money to do this work quickly or well #in order to get power to Texas. e.g. And conversely #sometimes it's the structure of a legal requirement for a gvt to pick the cheapest option instead of the best #or the financing incentives that *discourage* utilities from building lr improving transmission lines #or. yknow. american-flavor capitalism aiming for quarterly investor financial reviews yoked to a bureaucracy that moves at 5-year speeds

Twists and Turns

I finished writing the end of a scene from Galaxy Federal tonight. For months I have had it in mind but hadn't mustered the resolve to write it. The middle part of the scene was already on the page, more or less (though with frequent small revisions). The beginning part of the scene, meanwhile, remains only partially written. But it's also its own, distinct thing compared to the middle and end parts, which flow together and act as one. Really they are two scenes within a single event.

Finishing a scene is much less common for me than starting one, especially when it comes to bigger scenes that got a big burst of writing done on them at the onset and then languished on the page over a long period with only incremental revisions to the existing text and very little of the remaining unwritten text attempted at all. So it's always nice to add major new pieces onto an existing scene and actually finish it (even if in this case the beginning of the scene is still unfinished).

Excluding the beginning part of the scene, the middle and end parts are just over six thousand words, twenty-five hundred of which I wrote today. My first work on the scene dates all the way back to August! And all those frequent little revisions to the middle part, which is the main bulk of the scene, mean that that part of the scene reads really nicely now. It's a Command Deck scene, so there's lots of Ship's Business: jargon and numbers and so forth. This novel bridges the gap between hard and soft sci-fi; it's actually all hard sci-fi, but dressed in a way that often appears very soft. But this scene is one of the ones that'll eat normies for lunch, lol.

Or maybe not! I'd like to think my writing's charming even when it's technical.

#Galaxy Federal #This is the scene with phrases like “transmitting a red ellipse�� and “random monocolor wavelengths and patterned hybrids”#At one point Cherry gives an order to the navigator that impresses even me because it makes perfect sense but I've never heard its likeness #It has to do with the fact that in space a change in acceleration will change your course and not just your speed #Unless you are traveling in a perfectly straight line (and accelerate in the exact same direction)#Which you're not doing because you are not God #And in space only God can travel in perfectly straight lines #That's why Lucifer is called crooked #And twisted #And tortured #Etymological deep cuts #It's actually wild to my sensibilities just how many words for “evil” ultimately boil down to the idea of “turning”#It feels like there is a really deep insight into human history here #Oh also I goozled myself when I had Cherry ask about the power level of a radio transmission #I had to spend like half an hour studying this to make sure I came up with a plausible wattage #Fiction is a lot easier to write when it isn't verifiable 😐

"LINEMEN STILL OUT," Hamilton Spectator. April 23, 1913. Page 10. ---- Refused to Accept Cataract's Offer of 32 1-2 Cents ---- The linemen of the Dominion Power and Transmission company who went out on strike Monday had another meeting with Manager Coleman yesterday afternoon, when the original offer of 32 1/2 cents an hour was again presented to the men. They refused to accept it. The strikers said they would accept 34 cents, an hour, the same as is, being paid Hydro linemen, with the understanding that this be increased whenever the Hydro men were granted an increase. They were urged by Mr. Coleman to accept the offer of 32½ cents, with the verbal understanding that they would be increased to the 34 cent rate in the near future. This offer the company would not put in writing, and the men refused to return to work.

"We have nothing further to say to the company, the matter is now entirely in their hands and we will not return to work until the 34 cent schedule has been granted with an additional signed agreement that this will be increased from time to time as the Hydro advances its scale," said a member of the strikers' committee this morning.

Being both an electrical engineer and electronic musician is weird. I see the words "wave trap" and I think both about a device, used to protect power substations from power line communication high frequency carrier signals and a trap music subgenre.
