I lived in Texas for 3 years. I watched the incredible Jarrell tornado scour the land from a meeting room at Tivoli. What I learned is that weather in Texas is serious as a heart attack. It is hard to understand what that means until you've experienced it. Thoughts & prayers

I did a podcast discussing some of the Risk Management stuff I've been doing @ Google and STPA in particular. I hope you find it useful. STPA is a safety design method. It is grounded in control theory. Google SRE Prodcast: The One with STPA, Jeffrey Snover, and Theo Klein youtu.be/SeNq0hQWVZ0?...

Has there ever been any greater scientific failure than the amyloid plaque theory of Alzheimer’s? Where my definition of failure is : success / energy & resources applied.

PSA: 90% of Computer Science is coming up with new words for "group".

This is an excellent interview. You will benefit from listening to @jsnover.com and @donjones.bsky.social experience and wisdom. Also, @andrewpla.tech does an excellent job guiding the conversation.

Here is a recent interview that Don Jones and I gave at the recent #PowerShell Devops Summit. Much fun was had! youtu.be/ooyO8GsHVTs?...

OH at #S25MRS “What’s bad news for quantum computing is great news for quantum sensing”. I love it!

Does your organization or company need to ramp up #PowerShell skills for SysAdmins and IT Pros? Bring me in for 3-5 days of intense, hands-on classes. Content is client-driven and highly customized.

The first time I attended a Materials Research Society conference I understood < 5% of the material. The second time, I understand maybe 7%. This time, I prepped by having Gemini explain the abstracts and I’m understanding maybe 12%. Step by step I’m learning more about this critical area. #S25MRS

"At the still point of the turning world... There the dance is, But neither arrest nor movement." I love these people!

Another day, another round of awesome #S25MRS talks. Today it's all about AIN, AIGaN, and SWIR detectors. But first, we start with

Few things bring me as much joy as hearing people tell me about how #PowerShell helped them with their careers! PowerShell WAS, IS, and ALWAYS WILL BE about the success of our users. Thank you to all of you that introduced yourself and told me your stories at yesterday’s #PshSummit2025

Sweet! There's hope for me! Right @jsnover.com @donjones.bsky.social ? 😂

I once met Buck! And had a hilarious conversation in front of the Bld 40 Cafe!

@jsnover.com takes the stage at the #PowerShell Summit #pshsummit25

Day 2 is here and we’re kicking things off with a true icon—Jeffrey Snover @jsnover.com ! From vision to execution, get ready for insight that sparks action. #pshsummit25 #powershell #devops #pshsummit #techconference

Facts!! 😂 I just heard a double-click. Somebody must be in trouble! @jsnover.com #pshsummit25

I can't wait to meet my PowerShell people at the conference today. Please come say hi and let's get a picture together! #PSHSummit25

I love Gemini!!! I heard a phrase at my Material Research Society conference that I didn't understand so I typed the following into Gemini and explained it perfectly: Explain "tyranny of the substrate" In the context of ultra wide bandgap semiconductors

#S25MRS about to begin. Starting off with The Genesis and Latest Developments of Perovskite Solar Cells Perovskites is a new material for solar cells. It is a thin film (e.g. only requires about 1% of the material vs Silicon).

Wed is SWIR detector day for me at the Material Research Society conference. #S25MRS. Google discover suggested this for me today. I love Google discover! interestingengineering.com/science/lida...

PSA for #S25MRS attendees: Din Tai Fung is a short walk from the convention center Soup Dumplings and Hot & Sour soup to die for!

I love being back on the East Coast with family and friends but my trip back to Seattle for the Material Research Society conference reminded me of some the things I love about the Pacific NW.

I always wondered how they spliced fiber optic cables. Here is a wonderful short: youtube.com/shorts/m-7i7...

Here's a first for me. A pizza vending machine.

Good times were had!

I'm sooo looking forward to seeing everyone! Sadly, I'll only be there on Tuesday.

Almost there!

🚨Legends. Icons. Powerhouses.🚨 The PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit welcomes to one stage! 🔥 @jsnover.com @donjones.bsky.social @jdhitsolutions.com 🚀 Secure your spot today—and be part of this ultimate event! 🎟️ #powershell #pshsummit #techleaders #automation

Yea for AI rewrite! It just defanged a email I was about to send. It remains direct but is much more polite.

"Best LLM" is like "Freshest Fish". Yes.... for now.

That's going into your permanent record. 🤣

TIL: Rice farming is responsible for about 12% of the world's emissions of methane ! The roots of rice plants release particles that microorganisms devour and produce methane.

@tnorris.bsky.social What is the signaling mechanism for a ISO to inform a DC to reduce demand? Is that a phone call? Email message? Some network protocol? If undefined, is anyone working on it?

@tnorris.bsky.social I really enjoyed today's seminar. I think you have found one of the keys to unlock our energy future: Whether for new demand or generation - Connect and Curtail!

It took me a few decades to figure this out so here it is for free. When something isn't working right it generally falls into one of these categories: 1) Team doesn't understand the problem 2) Team doesn't have a theory of success 3) Theory of success is not plausible 4) Execution problems

Does anyone understand what the Stargate project really is? Who is going to OWN what and SELL what (sell as it to customers vs each other)?

Hey #energySky community, does anyone have a pointer to good data on how many PMUs are installed on the US grid?

TIL my Chromebook supports circle search. That is a game changer for me.

It's great to see the surge in BESS installations. That said, I'm sad to Ambri is not a big component of it. I've been a fanboy for quite some time. #energysky

That's how you'll know it isn't me. Crypto is crap.

My old handle was @snover.bsky.social before I switched it to @jsnover.com. It looks like someone has squatted on it so I've reported it. Thanks to all that brought this to my attention.

When you think through the scenarios, ubiquitous L1 charging makes a lot of sense. Most daily mileage is very low and exceptions can be handled by public DC rapid chargers. This makes even more sense when you consider that fast charging is rough on batteries.

Yup! CA requires EV charging for new residential units in 2026. electrek.co/2024/12/18/c...

Hey @energyskg.bsky.social - what are "all appropriate actions"? Whenever I try to look for specifics, I only find fuzzy statements along the lines of "someone should do something". www.utilitydive.com/news/nerc-wi...

"Rather than seeing complexity as a bug, SRE teams at Google are leveraging control theory and methods like STPA and CAST to lead us to more comprehensive and proactive approaches to reliability" www.usenix.org/publications...

I attended this years Materials Research Society conference which was chock full of talks about how AI was accelerating all sorts of things including work on batteries, solar cells, etc. If you ever get pessimistic about the future, attend #MRS

I thought I would share a habit I picked up a while ago that has been working well for me. I ask people what the best book they've read in the past 6 months has been. That led me to reading Fearless. What an amazing story! www.amazon.com/Fearless-Und...
