AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the Gulf oil spill response, highlighting BP's new strategy called "Top-Kill" amidst ongoing challenges. Senators Bill Nelson and Barbara Boxer held a news conference, expressing concerns about a potential cover-up by BP and the government, which undermines public trust. The use of dispersants has been halted due to toxicity issues, raising further concerns about environmental impact. Participants are seeking links to a live feed of the situation, but reports suggest that the feed may have transitioned to a loop due to worsening conditions, including alarming claims of the seafloor collapsing. The conversation reflects a growing urgency and skepticism regarding the effectiveness of BP's containment efforts and transparency in the ongoing crisis.

now we will also be getting a live feed, per congressional demand, and this is now BP's "new hope": Top-Kill, not to be confused with the Top Hat, Large containment structure, Junk Shot... and so forth.


Sen. Bill Nelson and Sen. Barbara Boxer are having a news conference now, with video from 8 angles. The overuse of dispersant that has been dumped in great quantities ceased as of midnight last night, due to toxicity.

If anyone has a link to the live feed when it becomes available, please post it!

Oh, and both senators now claim a cover-up, which may be politics, but it does not inspire trust.

I don't believe it's showing a Live feed anymore - more like a "Loop" - Poissibly due to it being worse, or the fact reports of the sea bed collapsing?

Thread 'Predictions for the Nobel Prize in Physics 2025'

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
