Expanding and trouble shooting this audio device is a fascinating experience.

Let's see if I get an improved version of the Spectrogram to work.

Disclaimer: I'm non-technical and just built custom audio software in 30 mins.

I used Opus4.6 to build a Spectrogram for Ableton (as a Max4Live device).

~5 min prompting
~5 min build
~30 min trouble shooting

And... it works 😳 Wild stuff.

After seeing Zack's work for a while, I finally built up the courage to ask him for an interview.

Was a fun one and I think it turned out great.

these are really cool. keep it up!

how does it compare to children of time?

Narrative shift vibes

5/ High-level Trend #2: Price Volatility 📈

Price volatility is increasing due to various factors: (gas supply/price swings; wind production swings; etc.)

this puts pressure on market participants.
→ liquidity risk for utilities
→ planning/pricing risk for consumers/demand-side

4/ In a similar vein, trade cooperation/integration between the EU electricity market and Ukraine and Moldova is increasing 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇲🇩

This mainly impacts long-term (LT) transmission rights between Ukraine & neighbors such as Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania.

Step-by-step integration.

3/ I have written about this move in an earlier Delphi Zero essay:

The objective is to make Baltic EU countries less dependent on energy flows from Russia → i.e. less infrastructure/energy risk in case of direct conflict.

2/ High-level Trend #1: Market Integration & Energy Security

🇱🇻🇱🇹🇪🇪 Synchronization of the Baltic grid happened in Feb'25
→ from Russian grid to EU grid

Grid connections and electricity trade is not only a measure of market expansion but energy security.

1/ Time to sift through ENTSO-E's Market Report, which they released yesterday.

My Qs:
- What happened between June'24 and May'25?
- What are current trends?
- What are risks and opportunities?

Will share what grabs my attention in this thread 🧵

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

The reason why you wait for a website to load is frequently not the site content itself but all the programmatic advertising magic in the background(audience analysis; bid auction on your impression; customized ad serving; etc) 🤷‍♂️

Any hunches/ideas what adaptation might look like?

that's a blast of a time. crazy

f*ck it, we'll do it live!

Cool essay/summary.

Below is my personal definition of 'narrative' - would be curious to hear what you think about that.

Have written about it at length in this series: delphizero.substack.com/p/future-myt...

Climate litigation just got more interesting.

The Ocean Is Everything Marine biologist Anya Astafurova takes us into the depths of our mysterious oceans.

Such a gut punch.

Just published an interview with a marine biologist who specializes in polar regions. Here stories really hit home why good data/science on about these latitudes matters.

Sad what's happening now w/ scientifically-minded institutions in the US.

A thread 🧵

Overall good. Hope that weakens the "natty gas for missing capacity ∂" narrative

For context, after the 2019 UK outage I mentioned earlier the grid operator published an interim report in 1 week and a full report in 1 month. Admittedley more was known even within 24 hours (ie which plants faulted, broadly how the system responded). But it still takes time to do a proper autopsy.

‘All other avenues have been exhausted’: Is legal action the only way to save the planet? The long read: Monica Feria-Tinta is one of a growing number of lawyers using the courts to make governments around the world take action

“Are we entitled to nature? Is that a human right?"

"I would say yes. It’s not an easy argument, but it’s a valid one.”

A good read on new ways of using the courts for #conservation like we've been covering on the @mongabay.bsky.social podcast, by @samirashackle.bsky.social:

Alex Epstein is an opportunistic clown.

Important info given today's grid failures in Spain and Portugal.

Shows how complex it is to "restart/kickstart" (i.e. black start) the grid.
