Electricity generation, UK, week to 14th November 2025 Wind contributed over 50% of power generation on the 14th. Renewables already give a strong contribution, even in the land-limited UK. @WolframResearch notebook here: https://t.co/oR9zZykaUw Data @neso_energy

One less crane in Brisbane. Definitely a "big hammer" job, unlikely to affect Brisbane's standing in the national crane index. No one told me at school I could do this for a job, although my vertigo could make it a bit of a challenge. #Brisbane #Cranes

Japanese Garden at QUT campus in Toowoomba. Hard to see a garden bridge without thinking of Monet, his birthday today. He never travelled the 16,000km from France here, nor the 10,000km to Japan to see a 反り橋 (soribashi = moon bridge) in situ. #canonphotography #Brisbane.

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004. Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

Electricity generation, UK, week to 7th November 2025 Wind having an on/off week., Hydro had a good week. Illustrating reliability needs multiple sources e.g storage, nuclear or fossil fuels. @WolframResearch notebook here: https://t.co/oR9zZykaUw Data @neso_energy

Visualization in control rooms for decision making It was common to build control rooms with huge screens (eg Queensland Rail & UK NESO energy operator) Great for demonstrations but given the desktop screens are closer and higher resolution when is the main screen really used?

Google's AI visa advice for China is simply wrong. China can grant a 10 day transit visa. The legal implications of believing Google's AI and arriving in China assuming 30 days are not positive. AI making everday life harder, @garymarcus

Electricity generation, UK, week to 31st October 2025 Super Wind contribution on 25/26/28 & 31 Gas almost at a low point for the year on 26. Clear that renewables do make a large contribution. @WolframResearch notebook here: https://t.co/oR9zZykaUw Data @neso_energy

Mainstream media hasn’t yet dared write this story, but a student with a dream and an LLM wrote an actual, smart book about it. It would have been better with a professional editor but it is sharper than most of what I have read about GenAI. The conclusion is bang on: “The
