I tried YouTube Music for podcasts and can't remember why I ended up with Pocket Casts instead, but it wasn't any of these reasons.
In general I don't like blending music and podcasts, which I use very differently, e.g. pre-downloading and queueing up podcasts. But I'm happy to see Google working on the product.

Any thru hikers out there have recommendations for lightweight solar panels? Ideally with USB-C ports, not USB-A ports, and ideally able to charge a phone directly, not requiring a power bank intermediary?

Fun fact: Fusion energy is exotic and new (on Earth, anyway) but from a grid operator's perspective, fusion energy power plants will look a lot like today's existing power plants.
When I first heard about this application, I thought, "OK, we're filling out some paperwork." It's a *lot* more than than. Engineering, planning, simulation work, etc.

Whale watching in Monterey Bay last weekend. Three moms and their calves form pod CA51, plus Jimmy from CA50 hanging around, showing off a huge dorsal fin. The moms would surface and then the calves would surface right next to them. I found the calves chubby and cute (caveat: I'm not a sea lion).

Illuminating fusion power plant configurator from Sam Wurzel at his Fusion Energy Base site so you can noodle around with various values for Q_sci, electricity conversion efficiency, fusion pulse rep rate, etc.: https://www.fusionenergybase.com/articles/fusion-physics-part-1-scientific-gain-and-fusion-power-plants

A quintet of California quail dropped by the house over the weekend — a first, though I've seen them in the neighborhood before. They're very round! And usually pretty hard to see lurking in the underbrush. But for about 5 minutes some of them perched in a nearby oak at a spot where I could point my lens through the foliage.

As long as we're talking about em dashes and AI — can the Google Gemini team please put spaces on either side of them? I know it's a styling choice, but I find it visually easier to parse with the spaces.

Today was Reddit AMA day with our Chief Science Officer and Co-founder Brandon Sorbom — lots of good questions and interesting answers. Tritium, supply chain, AI, magnets, plasmas, antennas... and of course tokamaks. https://www.reddit.com/r/fusion/comments/1ra1oxm/hi_rfusion_im_brandon_sorbom_chief_science/ #FusionEnergy

My late-night flight over the Midwest was particularly vivid — all those city streetlights reflecting off the snow. This is the Toronto area of Canada, with Lake Ontario to the right.

Hey all, just saying you should watch our kickass video about our kickass fusion magnet. 24 tons, 4.3 meters tall, made with 300km of high-temperature superconducting tape, strong enough to lift an aircraft carrier.
