New Right of Way:
@SenArmstrong joins us for a deep dive on Clean Water Act Sec. 401 — plus some permitting horror stories and more!

New in The Ansible:
Many rideshare app users balk at the way an opaque algorithm determines the prices they're offered. Zero-knowledge proofs are increasingly capable of providing those riders with greater transparency, within reason, @sophiabulla1 writes.
"Splitting the hotline off from trade discussions and housing it inside the military requires building a new institution focused solely on SI discussions. The goal of the SI hotline should be 'boring infrastructure' as opposed to a 'flashy political tool.'"
Read @GovindPimpale.
@chrisharig99 and @GovindPimpale argue that the new US-China Super Intelligence hotline is a major step forward, and outline how clear risk frameworks, technical expertise, and durable communication channels can ensure its success.

The US-China SI hotline is a great first step towards mitigating the national security risks presented by SI. @GovindPimpale and I argue that a few design choices would make the hotline a durable institution, unlike it's predecessors. Post linked below.

.@ehanford is right.
I wrote about Project Follow Through for @JoinFAI.
It's a tragedy that it was ignored.
The study provided some answers. But didn’t change education.
“It’s just astonishing to me that we’re still fighting the same battles."
Read about the history of Project Follow Through.

Get ready for World War P-Zombie! Next week I will be debating @hamandcheese on AI consciousness, moderated by @sckimbriel. We will fight about functionalism, quarrel over qualia, and serve problematically hard liquors to ensure that everyone has a phenomenal time.
Access is limited so RSVP now. Link to register in the next tweet.

Please make congressional technical understanding great again
Excited to share this updated primer on the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) with @danielschuman. With new economic/cyber/bio/and other policy challenges arising from AI, now would be a great time to invest in greater science and tech capacity in Congress.

That's a great question -- @ZacharyGraves and I have written at length on OTA. But, if you just want a short primer, we got you covered.

Incredible news from @TheNuclearCo.
6.6 GW of big nukes. Outstanding.
Last year, I interviewed @TheNuclearJoe, TNC's Chief Nuclear Officer about his experience at Vogtle and building fleet-scale nuclear: nuclearbarbarians.com/p/no-s…
This year, I interviewed @TheNuclearCo's founder, @JonathanWebbKY, about TNC's vision: nuclearbarbarians.com/p/the-…
On a personal note, this announcement made me brim with brotherly pride. @energybants, TNC's Chief of Staff, is a dear friend. Watching him realize a dream he's had for the decade I've known him fills me with hope and admiration.

Appreciate the opportunity last week to join the Ecosystem for Research Networking quantum webinar series to speak on the future of research computing, why a heterogeneous computing substrate is emerging as quantum computing continues to mature, and what this all means for computation-driven discovery.
Grateful to @gforough for the invitation, and all the attendees for their great questions!

"Every facet of the federal government, and even a lot of state governments, will benefit from hiring scientists into policy support roles directly instead of interfacing to them through third parties."

I really enjoyed this conversation with Geneva! Many interesting things to think about for what the next couple of decades will contain.
