Catastrophic flooding in southwest Colorado.
El Nino is just getting started. This is in the Colorado River watershed so it'll be great for Lake Powell and Lake Mead - and will create enormous damage too.
The San Juan River in Pagosa Springs is on track to crest at a record-breaking 19.7 feet, more than 2 feet higher than an October 1911 that “wiped out” most of Pagosa Springs, county officials said. denverpost.com/2026/11/01/so…

We visited The Drift in Pagosa Springs 2 yrs ago, so I've been watching recent flooding in CO. Our cabin was mere feet from the San Juan River. So I wondered what a ~20' level really means.
So I fired up ChatGPT to visualize water levels: san-juan-river-explorer.just…
20' is bad.

I spoke with Haley Stevens yesterday.
Feeling a bit absurd in pointing out the obvious and being far kinder than I should have been, I reminded her that the outcome of this senate race will be viewed in the light of a future Supreme Court vacancy, and I expressed a hope that all of us understand the stakes.
She assured me she's supporting Dr. El-Sayed, sent me a video of a recent speech she gave blasting Mike Rogers and said this: "Still stands. I promise."
She also said she's been sending this video to other folks to make it clear where she stands on this race.
Again: that was yesterday.
I have known Haley Stevens for years. I have counted her as a friend and an ally. We've had many thoughtful conversations about this country, and she has never failed to remind me that her mother is a fan of my writing.
Whatever other political differences we have, she has always made it clear to me she would stand with LGBTQ people. It was a red line she refused to cross.
Instead, she has made the inexplicable decision to endorse a man who views LGBTQ Americans as second-class citizens unworthy of full equality.
I can't help but wonder what her mother must be thinking right now.
I have no idea what has happened to the person I thought I knew, but clearly, she has completely taken leave of her senses in endorsing a Republican who is little more than a Trump sycophant -- less than 24 hours after promising me that she has not wavered from the bigger picture.
I am disgusted with her cynicism and cowardice in this moment. God forgive me for trusting her.
If you're a Michigan voter and as disgusted as I am, get to your polling place and vote for Dr. El-Sayed.

Michigan Democratic Party chair Curtis Hertel removes Haley Stevens from the Michigan Democratic Party following endorsement of Mike Rogers:
"Congresswoman Stevens is not a current member of the Michigan Democratic Party, nor will she be in the future."
Trump is yipping again about the scary things he will do after the election. Yawn. He's also been babbling about men's asses and marrying his sister. So, he's totally not senile!
He know he's losing. That's why he's screaming louder. Don't be fooled.

Abdul made the correct decision by telling Haley Stevens to stop whining, and now that she's campaigning with Mike Rogers he's been completely vindicated
The biggest delays in building data centers are not NIMBYs but availability of materials.
In particular, transformers require grain-oriented electrical steel (GOES), a specialized steel used in their cores. Wait times are now 3+ years.

1/3
Only one US facility makes GOES and it is lesser quality that what is made in Japan by Nippon Steel and JFE steel.
Switchgear, generators, and cooling equipment also are backordered. Everyone wants the equipment at once. There is huge demand.

ALT Data center waits for equipment. Proton Lumo.

The early voting blog is updated!
A blue wave is about to crash down on NV, and the two major questions are: Can the gov survive and will the wave be deep enough for Ds to capture a House seat that the party has never held?
I have data and projections.

Hiring manager at Anthropic. Code interviews are dead. Instead, know your libraries and frameworks so AI can do it. So, it's basically a new level of coding.
"Radical ideas and a weekend coding a prototype with AI are the new coding interview."

A software developer asked today on social media, how many of you have written one line of code in the past six months? No one had.
Reddit is getting demolished because Google AI search no longer links to them.
These are seismic shifts. And they're not going back.

The collapse of Reddit will be studied.
After reporting earnings, its stock collapsed 30% in a single day.
It's down 44% in 2 weeks.
But the most important detail is what was revealed in that earnings call.
The CEO said AI is killing Google search.
People no longer get sent to Reddit from Google. They merely get their answers from the AI Mode itself.
Even Google confirmed this themselves with their disastrous results - AI mode is cannibalising their search business.
Pretty soon, no one will visit Reddit voluntarily. Its traffic will continue to crater.
The worst part?
Reddit isn't alone. There are millions of companies and publishers that rely on search traffic.
That's what happens when you rely on a single funnel for discovery.
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be IRS saying you owe money, that you must pay now or they will come to your door, record the number and hang up. It's a scam.
Then report it.
