DOE Loans Holtec $57M to Restart Palisades

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Chris Wright announced the release of the second loan disbursement to Holtec for the Palisades Nuclear Plant. The action releases $56,787,300 of the up to $1.52 billion in loan guarantees to Holtec for the Palisades project, which will provide 800MW of affordable and reliable baseload power in Michigan.

“Unleashing American energy dominance will require leveraging all energy sources that are affordable, reliable and secure – including nuclear energy,” said Secretary Wright.”

The Palisades Nuclear Plant will be America’s first restart of a commercial nuclear reactor that ceased operations, subject to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensing approvals. The project is projected to support or retain up to 600 high-quality jobs in Michigan, and many of them will be filled by workers who had previously been at the plant for over 20 years. The firm’s timeline for restart is within the next one to two years depending on NRC licensing.

The action by DOE is Holtec’s second disbursement of funds from the Loan Programs Office (LPO) since the announcement of its financial loan in September 2024. LPO funds go toward the plant restart and ensuring the plant is able to be licensed.

World Nuclear News reported that the 800 MWe single unit pressurized water reactor plant ceased operations in May 2022. Holtec International completed its acquisition of the plant from Entergy shortly afterwards. Initially, the path forward had been for Holtec to decommission it, but the company subsequently announced plans to apply for federal funding to support a restart of operations. It would be the first nuclear reactor in the USA to resume operations after having been retired.

Restarting the plant is anticipated to avoid the emission of 4.47 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year for a total of 111 million tCO2 during the projected 25 years of operations.

Holtec has also said it intends to use the Palisades site as the location for its first two small modular reactor units. These will potentially add an additional 600 MW of generation capacity at the site and take advantage of existing infrastructure.

One of the key challenges facing Holtec in the restart of the plant is to is the condition of the steam generator system of the 800 MW reactor. According to the NRC, an inspection of the steam system found more than 1,000 steam generator tubes, or just over 12% of all tubes, with indications of corrosion cracking. Holtec says it will use a repair method called “sleeving” which is a liner pushed inside of each original damaged steam tube.

Patrick O’Brien, a Holtec spokesperson, told Reuters in October 2024 the results of the NRC inspections of the steam tubes “were not entirely unpredicted” as the standard system “layup process”, or procedure for maintaining the units, was not followed when the plant went into shutdown.

According to the NRC, Palisades has two Combustion Engineering Model 2530 replacement steam generators. Each of them has 8,219 mill-annealed, Alloy 600 tubes. The tubes have an outside diameter of 0.75 inches, and a wall thickness of 0.042 inches. The alloy hasn’t lived up to expectations in terms of resisting corrosion.

The NRC has informally issued a caution flag about Holtec’s plan to deal with the steam tube problem. The first is that Holtec wants to go ahead to make the repairs and then have the NRC inspect and approve them. If the agency says if doesn’t like what it sees, that could add delays to a fast moving schedule for restarts.

NextEra Energy Follows Constellation; Files with Regulators to Restart Duane Arnold

NextEra Energy has filed paperwork with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) indicating its intent to restart the 600 MWe Duane Arnold nuclear power plant. The reactor was shut down in 2020 after 45 years of operation.

The utility has also reportedly communicated with regional grid operators about its plans to be a source of power for new data centers being built in Iowa. However, the utility has not signed power purchase agreements with them. The utility also needs to sign up other customers to sell its power to them.

According to the utility the status of the shutdown plant has been reviewed in terms of engineering review of its condition. According to statements provided to the news media by the utility, the reactor is in good shape to support a restart subject to regulatory approvals. The plant’s cooling towers, which were destroyed in a storm will have to be rebuilt, but do not need nuclear related reviews. Work is needed on the switch yard, including new equipment, which needs to be ordered soon given the long lead times for it. The utility said it believes the plant could be restored to revenue service by 2028.

Constellation’s Restart of TMI-1 is the Model for Duane Arnold

NextEra is following in the footsteps of Constellation Energy’s which is restarting TMI-1, renamed Crane Clean Energy Center, in Pennsylvania, and which inked a power purchase agreement with Microsoft to power its data centers.

Constellation is seeking a $1.6 billion federal loan guarantee to help finance its plan to restart the Three Mile Island nuclear plant and sell the electricity to Microsoft to AI power data centers. The firm started the loan process in May 2024. According to news media reports, the initial review for the loan has been cleared and the two parties are now negotiating specific terms of the deal.

NexEra declined to say whether it would approach DOE for a loan to restart Duane Arnold. The company said in February in its regulatory filings, “NextEra is monitoring the progress made by (the other companies) and will make adjustments as appropriate, based on lessons learned from those precedential actions.”

Are SMRs in the Future in Iowa?

In an earnings call in January, John Ketchum, NextEra’s CEO, said the firm is also interested in small modular reactors. According to the statement, the company has a division focused on studying SMRs to figure out whether to get into the business. However, he raised a caution flag characterizing SMRs as a “next decade” solution citing the need for developers to prove they can develop their SMRs in fleet mode with resulting competitive costs for production and operation.

Santee Cooper Seeks Proposals to Complete Abandoned V C Summer Nuclear Power Project

South Carolina’s state-owned utility Santee Cooper, South Carolina’s largest electricity utility, has launched a process seeking proposals that could lead to the revival of the abandoned V C Summer nuclear power station project.

Santee Cooper is, in effect. taking on revival of one of the most significant failures to complete a reactor project in the history of the US nuclear industry. In short, metaphorically speaking, it is trying to bring a $10 billion fiasco back from the dead.

The company said in a statement that it is looking for proposals to acquire and complete, or propose alternatives, for two partially constructed nuclear units at the site. The utility said it has no plans to own the units.

Santee Cooper cited significant interest in repowering closed or cancelled nuclear units to shorten project timelines, as well as federal incentives for these projects. Santee Cooper has engaged US investment banking firm Centerview Partners to conduct a request for proposal (RFP) seeking parties interested in acquiring the project and related assets, and potentially completing one or both units or pursuing alternative uses of the assets. The banking firm lists its expertise as being in M&A, independent board committees, shareholder activism, debt and equity financing and restructuring.

Factors contributing to the utility’s decision to launch an RFP process include a need for new generating capacity, driven by rapid growth of data centers, the onshoring of manufacturing, and the retirement of fossil-fired plants.

Utility president and chief executive officer Jimmy Staton said, “Considering the long timelines required to bring new nuclear units online, Santee Cooper has a unique opportunity to explore options for Summer Units 2 and 3 and their related assets that could allow someone to generate reliable, carbon emissions-free electricity on a meaningfully shortened timeline. We are seeing renewed interest in nuclear energy, fueled by advanced manufacturing investments, AI-driven data center demand, and the tech industry’s zero-carbon targets.”

Small Modular Reactors Considered for Site of Kewaunee Nuclear Plant

Although the main reactor at the Kewaunee Nuclear Plant is being decommissioned, the site, with its grid access and switch yard, is being considered for development of small nuclear reactors (SMRs). In December 2024 December, EnergySolutions, which owns the site, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Terrestrial Energy, to collaborate on building Integral Molten Salt Reactor plants.

Local economic development officials say the reactors could be used to supply electricity to data centers, but so far this idea is still in the talking stage. EnergySolutions told a local TV station the Kewaunee plant is in consideration for one or more SMRs but no decision has yet been made.

The Kewaunee Power Station sits on the shores of Lake Michigan in the town of Carlton, between Kewaunee and Two Rivers. It first began operations in 1974 and the plant was formally closed in May 2013. Decommissioning is expected to be complete in 2031

Urenco to Supply HALEU Fuel for Westinghouse eVinci Microreactor

Partnership for High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium Key Step in Development of Next-Generation Technology

Westinghouse Electric Company and Urenco have signed a first agreement for long-term fuel enrichment. Under the agreement, Urenco will provide enrichment of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) to Westinghouse for five years of deployment for the company’s next-generation, eVinci microreactor.

In 2023, Urenco was awarded $12.4 million by the UK government from its Nuclear Fuel Fund to help develop low enriched uranium and HALEU enrichment capability at its Capenhurst site in Cheshire, England. Westinghouse has a nuclear fuel fabrication plant in the UK at its UK Springfields site.

High-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU), which is uranium enriched to between 5% and 20% U-235, is needed to fuel many types of advanced reactors including the eVinci. The fuel in the form of UF6 destined to be fabricated into solid fuel assemblies, is in short supply. For instance, TerraPower postponed the startup of its 345MW sodium cooled Natrium advanced reactor from 2028 to 2030 due to anticipated delays in being able to obtain sufficient quantities for first fuel loading and subsequent fuel outages.

The eVinci microreactor intended to support a variety of applications, including providing reliable electricity and heating for data centers, the oil and gas industry, mining operations, remote communities, universities, industrial centers, and defense facilities, and soon the lunar surface and beyond.

The eVinci microreactor has very few moving parts, working essentially as a battery, providing the versatility for power systems ranging from several kilowatts to 5 MW of electricity, delivered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for eight-plus years without refueling. The technology will be factory-built and assembled before it is shipped in a container.

In September 2024 Westinghouse Electric Company completed the front-end engineering and experiment design (FEEED) phase to test a prototype of its eVinci microreactor at Idaho National Laboratory. The FEEED process is intended to support developers in design and planning for the fabrication, construction, and potential testing of fueled reactor experiments at the DOME test bed operated by the National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC).

Penn State and Westinghouse Electric Co. are partnering to unlock the potential of the industry-leading eVinci microreactor by engaging with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to develop a new nuclear research facility at the University Park campus.

Penn State submitted a letter of intent to the NRC on 02/28/25 which is the first step in the application process to install an eVinci microreactor at the new research facility.

The firm is reportedly looking at several locations in Pennsylvania to manufacture its eVinci microreactor.

EDF in Line for State Loan to Build Six New Reactors

(WNN) France’s Nuclear Policy Council, headed by President Emmanuel Macron,has agreed that a subsidized government loan should be issued to state-owned power utility EDF to cover at least half the construction costs of six EPR2 reactors.

In February 2022, Macron announced that the time was right for a nuclear renaissance in France, saying the operation of all existing reactors should be extended without compromising safety and unveiling a proposed program for six new EPR2 reactors, with an option for a further eight EPR2 reactors to follow. The first three pairs of EPR2 reactors are proposed to be built, in order, at the Penly, Gravelines and Bugey sites. Construction is expected to start in 2027.

The cost was originally estimated at EUR51.7 billion (USD56.4 billion), but this was revised to EUR67.4 billion (USD70 millikon) in 2023. The six reactors, coming in at 1.650 MW each, at a hypothetical cost of $6,500/kw comes out to 9.9 GWe at an estimated cost of about $$64.4 billion. A subsidy of half the cost would be USD32.2 billion.

The additional eight reactors, also using the hypothetical cost of $6,500/Kw, come in at 13.2 GWe or USD86 billion.

The costs will undoubtedly be higher in the out years of the construction cycle for all eight plants. EDF’s construction of two EPRs in the UK at the Hinkley C site are already behind schedule and over budget. The UK is still facing an investment decision, all but certain, to go all in to invest in and build two more 1,650 MW EPRs at the Sizewell C site.

In France the construction of the 1,620 MW EPR at Flamanville 3 was initiated in 2007 but the plant was not connected to the grid until December 2024. The original estimate was $4 billion but final cost was $13.2 billion or $8,150/kw. This was the second EPR built by EDF. The first unit built in Finland also suffered from significant schedule delays and cost overruns.

The EPR2 reactor, which is a redesign of the 1,650 MW original design, is supposed to benefit from the lessons learned in Finland and France. It is a pressurized water reactor project developed by EDF and Framatome. It meets the general safety objectives of the third generation of reactors.

At a 03/17/25 meeting, the French Nuclear Policy Council (CPN) “examined the main principles of the financing and regulatory framework” for the construction of the six EPR2s, the Elysee Palace (the official residence of the French president) said in a statement. EDF is heavily in debt and needs the money.

“This framework is based on a subsidized government loan covering at least half of the construction costs and a Contract for Difference on nuclear production at a maximum price of EUR100 (USD109) per MWh in 2024 value.”

A Contract for Difference is essentially where there is a future fixed price guaranteed for electricity generated, with the government either paying the difference between the market price and the agreed sale price, or receiving payment if the market price is higher.

Elysee said: “This important milestone will allow discussions between the government and EDF to be finalized in the coming weeks and allow for rapid initiation of discussions with the European Commission, with a view to EDF making a final investment decision in 2026.”

The Council requested EDF “step up its cost and schedule control efforts” and to present a binding cost and time frame estimate by the end of the year.

The CPN also validated the action plan aimed at securing the upstream part of the nuclear fuel cycle and “in particular the support that the State will provide to Orano for France’s uranium supply in the medium and long term”.

Regarding used fuel processing, the Council confirmed continued investment in Orano’s program of upgrades in downstream activities at its La Hague site.

In addition, the Council mandated the General Secretariat for Investment to continue supporting the development of small modular reactors by “prioritizing the projects most likely to lead to the commissioning of a demonstrator at the beginning of the 2030s.”

Update 03/25/25 – EDF Postpones Six New EPRs to late 2030s

The 4th meeting of France’s Nuclear Policy Council (CPN – Conseil de politique nucléaire), chaired by President Emmanuel Macron, decided to delay the commissioning of EPR2 reactors to 2038 . This is a postponement of three years. The CPN, which has been held regularly since 2022, defines the main orientations of national nuclear policy.

The cost was originally estimated at €51.7bn ($56.4bn), but this was revised upwards to €67.4bn in 2023, according to the Court of Auditors. Taking inflation into account, a total budget of nearly €80bn is now being considered.

France Names New CEO to Execute Bailout Loans

The French government is changing horses in terms of the leadership of EDF which is a state-owned enterprise. The decision comes as French President Macron moves to order six new 1,650 MW EPRs plus an follow-on contract to build eight more as the French nuclear fleet ages out.

France is overhauling the leadership at state-owned utility EDF, as the heavily indebted company gears up to build six new nuclear reactors for the country while struggling to sign up long-term customers for its power.

Bernard Fontana, currently head of nuclear engineering group Framatome, majority owned by EDF, has been proposed as the new CEO. He will replace Luc Remont who has held the role for the past two years. The change still needs to be approved by parliament which is expected to approve the appointment.

Speaking to reporters on a trip in central France, Prime Minister Francois Bayrou said Fontana had experience leading teams and “accelerating construction” to steer the company as it embarked on a new phase.

“We are facing new nuclear power plant construction sites, construction sites that are expensive and on which there are a certain number of difficulties,” he said.

Framatome, run by Fontana since 2015, designs the European Pressurized Reactors that EDF plans to build over the coming decades to renew the country’s ageing nuclear fleet.

Reuters reported that Fontana will take over EDF after months of protracted and increasingly tense negotiations between the utility and industry over long-term power supply contracts, with the two sides unable to agree on terms. EDF wants to cover the cost of maintaining its nuclear fleet and investing in new reactors while companies are demanding lower electricity prices to remain competitive. Earlier this month, EDF said it was inviting companies in other countries to bid for its power as it struggled to win business clients at home.

World Bank Mulls Ending Long Standing Ban on Funding Nuclear Power

The head of the World Bank said he asked the lender’s board to reverse its long-standing policy against funding nuclear power projects, saying the technology offers a green option for poor countries.

According to a Bloomberg wire service report the head of the World Bank said he asked the lender’s board to reverse its long-standing policy against funding nuclear power projects. He said the technology offers a green option for poor countries.

“The good news is the board has come together and said they’re willing to discuss” the change, World Bank President Ajay Banga said at an event in Washington, adding that he expects the move to be included in a broader energy policy proposal expected in June 2026. It is unclear how long it will take for the bank to reach a final decision, establish criteria for loans, and make the first commitments to funding nuclear power projects.

Among developing nations, those in Southeast Asia that are heavily reliant on fossil fuels like coal have for the first time expressed interest in having nuclear power. The Philippines is aiming to have its first nuclear power plant by 2032 which are most likely to be SMRs. Vietnam is considering reviving parts of a former plan for full size nuclear power plants. Indonesia is progressing with plans for a floating molten salt plant.

“Small nuclear reactors could be transformative,” Banga said in an interview with Bloomberg reporter David Rubenstein at the Economic Club of Washington.

The bank has fund fossil fuel and renewable power projects but has resisted all previous efforts to get it to reconsider its ban on funding nuclear projects.

Rolls-Royce Seeks Space Partnerships for Moon / Mars Missions

Rolls-Royce is looking for partnerships in the space industry for its micro-nuclear reactor, which says will be ready to support lunar bases in the early 2030s. Key areas for partnerships include supply chain firms for components.

Rolls-Royce Assistant Chief Engineer for Space Katie Jarman told the Bloomberg wire service the firm is in conversations with potential partners for launch and landing services as well as lunar transportation.

“We know that we are not a space company,” she said in an interview with wire services. “We are not going to be able to put a micro-reactor on the moon and operate it by ourselves.”

The micro-reactors are designed to be an energy source on the moon, supporting human habitation and supplying propulsion for further space exploration. Rolls-Royce is working to ensure the reactor fits with NASA’s mass requirements, which Jarman called “challenging.”

Jarman added that Rolls-Royce is speaking with European companies but predominantly US-based businesses following the Atlantic Declaration which the US and the UK signed in 2023 to explore space nuclear power opportunities.

“Having access to both capabilities on both sides of the pond is the best way of making sure that those programs can stick to their timescales and their cost.”

In March 2023, Rolls-Royce received funding of £2.9 million ($3.8 million) from the UK Space Agency to explore how nuclear power could be used to support future lunar bases. The company is working on two contracts with the space agency. The first targets concept design and the second involves product development, primarily from the US.

Like other fission and fusion reactor developers, Rolls-Royce is also positioning its microreactor for space-based propulsion to cut transit time time to Mars.

Travel time depends in part on the relative positions of the planets at launch, and propulsion requirement and capabilities depends on where Mars will be when you can get there with it. The same orbital issues exist for the return to Earth.

Earth to Mars Orbital Plan. Image: European Space Agency

Also, would it make sense for anyone using something this fast to preposition a lander in Mars orbit to save weight. Mass matters. Similarly, NASA would likely preposition supplies on the surface for any extended stay or at least until planetary positions are favorable for the return. Going fast is good, but also fuel is needed for de-acceleration on arrival at Mars and for slowing down to a safe speed for re entry to Earth.

Dunque, l’altro giorno accennavo che usare il telefono per #emulare i #giochi del #DS fa #schifo, perché appena cambio app (visto che il mio smartphone dovrebbe essere il mio PC tascabile, quindi mi serve per tante cose spesso quasi insieme) arriva Android a fare pulizia non autorizzata della RAM (a uccidere il processo)… eh vabbè, diciamo pure che va bene (ma non va bene). 😮‍💨️

…Però poi pure a usare la consolina #originale ci son le #rogne, #mannaggia!!! Sempre ieri ho accennato che sul #3DS è un continuo di scheda #SD che si #corrompe totalmente a caso, causando #problemi di diversa #gravità… ed è una cosa con cui faccio la #guerra da #anni, e si, ho verificato che a livello #hardware la #scheda è bona. ⚒️

Oggi pomeriggio comunque ho perso un sacco di tempo a ricopiare tutti i #file sul PC, #formattare la scheda, e rimettere a posto i file, per #rimediare ancora una volta al fatto che si fosse tutto spaccato e avvenissero #crash nel menù home e nel loader di giochi #NDS. Però ne ho approfittato per cercare e boh, appunto tutti dicono “la #SDcard è marcia/farlocca/consumata” (no), “il #CustomFirmware è corrotto” (no), “dovresti ripartizionare la scheda” (già fatto)… ma qualche spunto utile nuovo l’ho visto:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/arm9-error-data-abort.558494/
- Che la mia #microSD non sia propriamente brutta in uno dei modi descritti sopra (comuni), ma abbia questo problema (mai sentito prima) del controller I/O è lezzo? 🧐️
- https://gbatemp.net/threads/new-2ds-xl-microsd-card-error.534480/
  - La #tecnica della “quadrupla formattazione”: in pratica, visto che tutti i #software in circolazione per formattare le #memorie sono ancora progettati attorno agli hard disk, danno sulle #flash un risultato molto peggiore della preformattazione di fabbrica… combinando 4 programmi si riesce ad apparare, a quanto dice il tizio. 🤯️
  - Quella tecnica è Windows-centrica però; riguardo #UNIX, un utente (che ingiustamente non è stato cagato) ha scritto dei suoi #esperimenti per replicarne i risultati con #utility libere… c’è molta meno #speculazione e molto più senso; ho potuto ad esempio creare la partizione #FAT32 senza LBA con la misura standard di settori, teste, e cilindri, come dicevano quelle #note (a dire il vero scritte a culo, maremma), ma l’allineamento perfetto dei #settori non l’ho potuto fare, mformat mi da errore coi parametri che ho ottenuto dopo dolorosi quarti d’ora di confusissimi calcoli (sarebbe utile sapere che versione del #tool ha usato). 🥴️
Su #thread misti c’è chi specula che la colpa sia di #TwilightMenu, ma dalla mia esperienza passata e dalla maggior parte delle opinioni #online tenderei ad escludere questa #ipotesi… ma è anche vero che, se mi affidassi alle stesse #opinioni, allora statisticamente le #corruzioni che ho io dovrebbero essere statisticamente impossibili, cosa che evidentemente è falsa. 😩️

Con questa piccola #differenza che ho potuto alla fin dei conti apportare alla #formattazione, vedremo se cambierà o meno qualcosa. Però, ammesso e non concesso che la causa sia #TwilightMenu++ o #nds-bootstrap, ossia i programmi #homebrew che mi permettono di avviare le #ROM NDS senza #schedina dedicata… quale sarebbe l’alternativa? ☠️

L’ho detto altre volte che, elettricamente, il formato delle #schede [3]DS fa #schifo, a lungo andare il contatto diventa sempre più lasco e addirittura salta in-game (cosa inaccettabile, in quanto risulta sempre in un crash). Questo è un #problema invece ben più conosciuto, ed è il motivo per cui uso praticamente sempre i #dump, anche di quei pochi giochi che possiedo su #cartuccia. Ho pulito tante volte tante schede, e a volte il #casino si #risolve, ma altre volte poi ritorna. 🧽️

Tutto questo #discorsone per dire: nella #vita non c’è #divertimento, non c’è #spensieratezza, non esiste #svago, perché potrei accettare che con gli homebrew escano fuori #magagne ma, #ahinoi, anche con hardware tutto originale, non funziona un cazzo bene. (Non) grazie #Nintendo, per aver creato un tipo di collegamento tra #gamecart e #console così #grezzo. 🗑️

Cos’è Letterboxd e perché è così amato

Non sapete che film vedere questa sera? C’è Letterboxd. Volete sapere se l’amico che è andato al cinema dietro vostro consiglio ha apprezzato ciò che ha visto? C’è Letterboxd. Volete tenere conto di tutto ciò che avete visto, giorno per giorno? C’è Letterboxd. Avete bisogno di stilare una lista di qualunque genere (film preferiti, la top 10 delle opere di Scorsese o, non so, i migliori che avete visto durante l’anno)? C’è Letterboxd. Volete avere una watchlist accessibile, facile da usare, sempre a portata di mano? C’è Letterboxd. Sentite la necessità di condividere i vostri pensieri con i cinefili di tutto il mondo (e magari sbirciare i voti e le recensioni di altre persone)? C’è Letterboxd. Insomma, come avrete capito, il social network cinematografico più amato di sempre è la risposta a moltissime nerdate cinefile di cui non sapevate di avere bisogno.

Il sito (con inevitabile app) nasce nel 2011 dalla mente di due ragazzi neozelandesi, Matt Buchanan e Karl von Randow, allo scopo di organizzare i film visti e scoprirne di nuovi. Con il termine letterbox, in gergo, si intendono le bande nere che vedevamo sullo schermo quando il formato del film era diverso dall’aspect ratio della nostra tv. Alla fine del 2013 l’app riceve l’endorsement di Steven Soderbergh, che è anche il motivo per cui nel gennaio del 2014 ho aperto il mio diario. Il problema è che ai tempi la community era davvero ridotta, per cui usavo il mio Letterboxd esclusivamente per tenere conto appunto del diario cinematografico dei film visti (motivo per cui i miei conteggi sul totale di film visti mese per mese e anno per anno partono proprio dal 2014). Ora invece, in seguito all’approdo su Letterboxd di amatissimi professionisti del settore (c’è anche Martin Scorsese!), stimati critici cinematografici e studiosi di cinema di tutto il mondo, oltre ovviamente a tanti amici e conoscenti, l’esperienza è diventata decisamente coinvolgente.

Come funziona Letterboxd? Più facile a farsi che a dirsi. Ogni volta in cui si vede un film si logga il titolo con la data in cui si è visto (e la possibilità, facoltativa, di inserire un rating su una scala di 5 stelline, oltre a tag e le proprie recensioni). Tutto qui. Se si vuole approfondire l’esperienza si può aprire la home e scoprire cosa hanno visto ultimamente le persone che seguiamo, leggere le loro recensioni e i loro rating, o inserire in watchlist qualcosa che sembra intrigarci. Oppure si può cliccare sulle liste e scoprire i 250 film più belli secondo il sondaggio di Sigth & Sound o quelli da vedere almeno una volta nella vita (ci sono liste davvero di ogni genere e per tutti i gusti). Ci sono recensioni serie, serissime, altre invece più ironiche, irresistibili, brevi e concise, che vanno giù dritte come uno shot di tequila. Inoltre, utilizzando i filtri, si possono facilmente raccogliere dati sulle proprie visioni, aggiungere film che abbiamo visto in passato (con una velocità sconvolgente che potrebbe rasentare la dipendenza) e avere, se fosse mai possibile, ancora più voglia di vedere film. Lo so, il ragionamento potrebbe suonare malato, ma in fondo che male c’è? Parliamo “soltanto” di film!

Ad aggiungersi a tutto ciò, Letterboxd ha saputo lavorare bene anche sui suoi account social, con un social media manager cinefilo e ironico su X (o twitter) e Instagram, ma soprattutto un canale YouTube interessantissimo, in cui gli inviati dell’app in questione si presentano sui red carpet o ai festival di cinema domandando ad attori e registi di nominare la propria Top 4 di film preferiti (la stessa cosa che viene chiesta ad ogni utente nel momento di aprire un account, una breve classifica che si può modificare e aggiornare in qualunque momento): ad esempio, è grazie alla Top 4 di Willem Dafoe che ho scoperto un film sorprendente come Onibaba (di cui ho parlato nel Capitolo 367).

Se hai già un profilo su Letterboxd o hai intenzione di aprirlo, seguimi per scoprire sempre più film da vedere e vivere, come facciamo da sempre, una vita da cinefilo: il mio profilo è qui. Buon divertimento!

Government Software at the Crossroads

The software industry is undergoing its most significant transformation since the rise of cloud computing. Last week, $285 billion in market cap evaporated from software stocks in a single day — a selloff traders are referring to as the “SaaSpocalypse.” Investors seem to have reached the conclusion that AI agents are going to reshape how organizations buy and use software. I don’t think they are wrong.

Private sector companies are scrambling to adapt. But there’s another sector that may be even more exposed to this shift, and far less prepared for it: government.

Really Bad Timing

Many government technology leaders are being asked to make major procurement decisions during a period of unprecedented instability in the software industry. The assumptions that have traditionally guided smart technology investments for the past decade — buy commercial off-the-shelf software, pay per seat, move to the cloud — may no longer hold.

The problem is that the government procurement cycle is slow by design. Decisions being made today will bind agencies to contracts lasting as long as five to seven years. An enterprise agreement signed this in Q1 could lock an agency into paying for software seats that AI tools have made redundant by year three — with no easy off ramp.

The traditional mismatch between government procurement cycles and the pace of change in the technology industry is becoming even more acute in the AI era. This problem is only going to get worse.

Still Fighting the Last War

Most government technology leaders are still operating from a playbook written in the 2010s. The common strategy is to modernize legacy systems by migrating to commercial SaaS products. This may have been the right move ten years ago. Cloud-based software offered better security, lower maintenance burden, and faster feature updates than aging on-premise systems.

But the landscape has shifted significantly, particularly in the last 12 months. The value of software is migrating from user interfaces to APIs, from per-seat licenses to outcomes, from products to orchestration layers. AI agents don’t need polished dashboards — they need access to data and the ability to execute tasks. A procurement strategy optimized for buying seats for commercial interfaces may be optimizing for exactly the wrong thing.

The mental model of “replace the old thing with the new commercial thing” simply doesn’t account for a world where AI agents can wrap existing systems, orchestrate actions across them, and generate deliverables without requiring wholesale replacement of underlying infrastructure.

A Matter of Trust

Another concern for government organizations is that the organizations best positioned to advise them on these shifts – existing legacy vendors – are often not incentivized to do so.

Large systems integrators and consultancies that guide government technology strategy make their money from complexity and labor hours. A message of “you may need fewer tools, less customization, and smaller teams — orchestrated by AI” does not align with their business model. So government leaders may not hear that message they need to hear until the shift is already obvious and the contracts are already signed.

Even absent malice, the fact that these changes are misaligned with existing legacy vendors business models means that simply won’t be incentivized to provide the information government leaders need to hear, when they need it.

The Build-vs-Buy Calculus Is Changing Fast

There’s another assumption baked into traditional government technology strategy that deserves a reexamination – the economics of building software.

For a long time, this logic was straightforward. Custom software development was expensive, slow, and risky. Projects routinely ran over budget and past deadlines. Maintaining bespoke systems required specialized staff that agencies struggled to hire and retain. Commercial off-the-shelf products offered a potential way out — vendors amortize development costs across many customers, governments benefit from continuous improvement and transfer the maintenance burden to external organizations built better for it.

This logic has driven the preference for COTS and SaaS procurement. Why build it when you can buy it?

But the economics of software development have shifted dramatically in the past eight months. AI coding assistants have moved from novelty to core infrastructure. Recent analysis suggests that a meaningful percentage of code commits on major platforms are now authored by AI — not assisted by AI, but generated by it. The changes we are seeing are not trivial. Entire codebases are being refactored by AI agents working in parallel. This will change the math on custom development. The cost of building software tailored to an agency’s specific needs — rather than adapting workflows to fit a vendor’s product — is dropping rapidly.

None of this means commercial software will go away overnight. But it does mean the factors that made COTS and SaaS the default safe choice are eroding. The question “should we buy or build?” deserves renewed analysis based on current economics, not assumptions inherited from an era when custom development was synonymous with cost overruns and contractor dependency.

A Different Kind of Risk

The traditional risk calculus in government technology focuses on project failure — the big modernization effort that goes over budget, misses deadlines, or fails to deliver promised functionality. These are real risks, and they’ve shaped a culture of caution around major technology investments in government.

But there’s a different kind of risk emerging: the risk of committing to a technology strategy that becomes obsolete mid-execution. The risk isn’t that the project fails — it’s that it succeeds at the wrong thing. An agency could execute flawlessly on a cloud migration strategy and still end up paying for years of software licenses that deliver diminishing value as AI reshapes workflows around them.

This is new territory. The frameworks government uses to evaluate technology risk weren’t designed for a world where the underlying economics of software could shift dramatically within a single contract period.

What Would A Safe Approach Look Like?

Given all this uncertainty, what would a prudent approach to government software strategy look like in early 2026? I think it looks something like this:

Shorter commitments where possible. The long-term enterprise agreement that locked in favorable pricing made sense in a stable environment. In a period of rapid change, flexibility may be worth more than discounted pricing. Agencies should scrutinize contract terms that limit their ability to adapt quickly.

Invest in understanding before deciding. Before committing to a modernization path, invest in truly understanding existing systems — not just their code, but the institutional knowledge and business logic they embody. That understanding has value regardless of whether you eventually replace, wrap, or extend those systems. Methodologies like SpecOps that focus on generating verified specifications of legacy system behavior offer a way to preserve optionality while the landscape clarifies.

Watch the API layer, not the interface. When evaluating software, pay attention to how well it exposes functionality via APIs, not just how polished its user interface is. The interface matters less in a world where AI agents are increasingly the “users” of enterprise software.

Cultivate independent perspective. Seek out advisors whose business model doesn’t depend on selling implementation services, and who have expertise in using AI to develop solution. The analysis that matters most right now is the analysis that might recommend doing less, not more.

The Time Is Now

Government technology decisions have always involved balancing risk against opportunity. What’s different now is the speed of change in the underlying assumptions.

The organizations that navigate this transition the best will be those that recognize the moment for what it is: not a time to double down on the strategies of the past decade, but a time to preserve optionality, invest in understanding, and resist the pressure to lock in long-term commitments based on a model of software value that may already be shifting beneath our feet.

The window to make these adjustments is right now — before the next round of multi-year contracts for COTS or SaaS software are signed, and before government agencies find themselves paying for a model of software that the rest of the world has moved on from.

I closed out November with a flurry of published stories, some filed weeks ago. I like finishing strong in November, since that’s the last month that freelancers can reasonably expect to write something and get paid for it that year.

One of the posts published in the closing hours of last month but not listed below was an extra for Patreon readers: a Web Summit recap covering things that didn’t show up in stories for my other clients.

11/27/2023: What part of ‘get rid of my data’ don’t companies get?, Fast Company

I pitched this piece months ago, then took far more time than I expected to report it out and finally write the damn thing.

I wrote up a study questioning the widely-held belief that social media and the Internet in general are making everybody stressed, lonely and resentful.

11/29/2023: The Best Cell Phone Plans, Wirecutter

This minor update covered new high-end plans at T-Mobile and Verizon and updated readers about AT&T and Verizon’s C-band deployment, among other things.

I joined AJ’s The Take podcast, hosted by Malika Bilal, to disucss OpenAI’s recent calamities and the prospects for AI to live up to the hopes (or fears) of some of its bigger supporters.

11/30/2023: Ex-EVgo CEO: It Can Take 6 to 18 Months to Put a Charging Station Into Service, PCMag

Recently-retired EVgo CEO Cathy Zoi taught me a few things about the state of the EV-charging business in the panel hosted by Resources for the Future in D.C. that I watched from home via Zoom.

11/30/2023: Google Celebrates RCS Hitting the Billion-User Mark With Multiple Feature Drops, PCMag

I got advance copies of Google’s blog posts about RCS topping a billion users and the software feature drops the company staged to celebrate the occasion, then made sure to remind readers of Google’s most recent announcement of the total number of Android devices–more than 3 billion, announced in 2022, which suggests that most Android users have yet to benefit from this upgrade to SMS and MMS.

12/1/2023: Facebook Whistleblower: Want to Help Kids? Keep Them Off Social Media, PCMag

I bikeshared into D.C. to watch a different tech-policy panel, this one at the Brookings Institution and featuring Melanie Dawes, chief executive of the U.K. telecom regulator Ofcom, and Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen.

Updated 12/11/2023 to add the Wirecutter guide that I had missed before.

Water towers with flair: Tallest ‘vattentorn’ of Sweden

Arctura “The Thermos” – Source: kreativteknik.se

Sweden has a wide-variety of beautiful water towers and continues to build architecturally stylish ones today. Over time brick and stone has eventually given way to concrete construction. Despite this conversion, many of the newer concrete water tower designs are quite breathtakingly beautiful.

Incredible Våga (Dare) Vattentorn (2024) – Source: whitearkitekter.com

The images provided throughout the post will attest to the pride (and flair) Sweden puts into its water tower design and especially their care, upkeep, and maintenance. With translated names and nicknames like “Dare”, “Reflektion”, “the Thermos”, “Shelf”, “Echo”, “Blue Spider”, and “Mushroom”, it would be safe to safe that Sweden’s wonderful collection of water towers is among the most (if not the most) dynamic of all nations.

Another important aspect of Swedish water towers is how many older ones have been adapted for new uses once their productive lifespan as a storage facility ended. Apartments, student housing, office buildings, condominiums, observation towers, and even an observatory are just some of the reuses employed there. It’s too bad such preservation and adaptation efforts are not utilized more often here in the United States. The brick and concrete construction materials likely lend themselves better to adaptive reuse than metal and composite materials.

It was also impressive to notice older water towers being reimagined, reinvigorated, and reused for water storage by employing newer designs during updating and restoration programs. See the example from the Stockholm suburb of Tensta just below.

The most common water tower heights identified tended to fall between 20 and 32 meters (66-105 feet) in height, though there are a vast range in heights. The list provided does not include railway water tanks/towers nor water towers below 10 meters in height. A glossary of common Swedish terms you may see while reading the list has been provided, as well. As more data is located, the list will be updated accordingly.

Trump has begun to address affordability a bit more
—rhetorically, that is.
He’s never fully acknowledged that the affordability problem has continued into his administration,
nor how his own policies
—from tariffs raising prices on myriad goods to the chaotic interruptions in crucial benefits like food stamps
—have contributed to Americans’ economic sufferings.
But he has been making more claims about what he’s supposedly doing to bring down the cost of living, a tacit nod to the polling.

He says inflation has “stopped.”
He sayshis policies will cut drug prices by “400, 500, even 600 percent.”
He says he has brought down the price of food and gas.
He says that electricity costs “will fall dramatically.”
He says that wages are up and that manufacturing jobs are flooding back to the United States.
Trouble is, none of that is true.
Inflation has not “stopped.”
Grocery pricesare up even from the Biden era.
His claims about drug prices are not only false but, as CNN points out, “mathematically impossible.”
Wage growth for workers without college degrees slowed, from January to September, and within the same time frame, workers lost 361,000 jobs.
From April—the month Trump announcedhis “liberation day” tariffs—to September, manufacturing in the U.S. fell by 58,000 jobs.
On gas, his claims are exaggerated, as are his claims on egg prices.
Electricity has spiked by 9 percent during his administration,
and while it’s impossible to predict the future, there’s certainly no reason to believe his claim that he’s just about to bring it down.

⭐️But an equally big problem is that Americans’ struggles just don’t interest him. -- That’s why he can’t stay focused on them.
That’s why he rolls his eyes when he says the word “affordability.”
It’s also why in every recent speech, when he’s not lying about the affordability problem, he’s changing the subject.

Trump raises the issue only to pivot to his preferred topics:
tariffs (which he said recently was his “favorite word”),
immigration,
his personal beefs,
himself,
Ilhan Omar,
Somalians in Minnesota, and so on.

In his December 17 speech on the economy, he opened with three sentences on the cost of living,
and immediately after saying the word “affordability,” he launched a rant about immigrants -- as if to wake himself up.
Two days later, in a speech in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, he shifted from affordability to his weird obsession with immigrants coming from insane asylums
(presumably he is equating those seeking “asylum” with mental patients, a long-standing Trumpian muddle)
without even the pretense of a logical transition, just because he couldn’t wait to get there.

Hardship bores Trump.
And why wouldn’t it?
He’s a rich guy who likes to hang out at Mar-a-Lago with other rich guys.
He doesn’t have any answers to the affordability crisis because he doesn’t care
—he really should borrow his wife’s infamous jacket
—and because some of the easiest and most obvious solutions to the crisis involve #rolling #back his own policies -- not to mention #alienating Republican #donors.
No wonder he’d rather rant about Somalis in Minnesota—or reminisce about the good old days of his #attempted #assassination.
Trump’s utter disengagement and mendacity on the affordability crisis create a huge opportunity for Democrats,
✅and some have been running with it.
On Thursday, democratic socialist #Zohran #Mamdani was sworn in as the new mayor of New York City.
He campaigned on making New York more affordable through universal childcare,
free buses,
a rent freeze for rent-stabilized buildings,
as well as increasing the supply of housing for poor, working-class, and middle-class New Yorkers.
He is backed by a grassroots campaign to tax the rich to make all this possible.
On January 20, #Mikie #Sherill, the Democratic governor-elect of New Jersey, will also be sworn in.
She too campaigned on lowering costs
-- while also 💥strongly opposing the construction of new data centers, which will increase energy bills, line tech billionaires’ pockets, and only flood the world with more slo
In a sense, they will face the same challenge that Trump is facing:
how to deliver on their campaign promises to address the affordability crisis.
🔥The difference is that they have actual policies they plan to advance in their respective legislative bodies.
All Trump ever had was his favorite word, and every respected economist knew back in 2024 that astronomical tariffs were certain to accomplish one thing:
higher prices on American consumers.
But the president is not one to acknowledge his mistakes, let alone learn from them.
So it’s a safe bet that he’s not going to suddenly find any solutions to the affordability crisis ... not when he can barely bring himself to say those words.

In the wake of the October 7th attacks, US college campuses were torn apart by disputes over Israel, #antisemitism and the limits of free speech.

Largely missing from the political debates: actual data on whether Jewish students were threatened, and whether non-Jewish students were acting on antisemitic views.
Researchers from Brandeis University have been gathering that information.

A #publication I am very familiar with, was #cited by a paper from "Engineering", which basically states that lightweight building materials are beneficial for healthcare infrastructures. The cited paper is about data sharing infrastructures - and no, you can't build actual buildings with those.

Cheesus crust, what has the world of #science come to....

I assume it was reference searching using an LLM or something... how bad can you misread a paper.

Giornata Mondiale del Cuore❤️

C’è un giorno all’anno in cui il nostro cuore❤️ diventa la star indiscussa… e non stiamo parlando di romanticismo da film hollywoodiano!

Il 29 settembre si celebra infatti la Giornata Mondiale del Cuore, o

World Heart Day

una ricorrenza che ci ricorda quanto sia importante prenderci cura di questo straordinario muscolo che batte senza sosta per tutta la vita.

Ma perché proprio il 29 settembre? La data è stata stabilita dalla World Heart Federation negli anni ’90 come momento internazionale per sensibilizzare le persone sulle malattie cardiovascolari, che restano tra le principali cause di mortalità nel mondo. La prima celebrazione ufficiale risale al 2000, e da allora il 29 settembre è diventato un’occasione per diffondere informazioni, organizzare eventi, campagne di screening e – perché no – qualche passeggiata all’aperto con un tocco di glamour… magari indossando sneakers rosse, simbolo del cuore pulsante!

Dove si festeggia? Ovunque! La Giornata Mondiale del Cuore è davvero globale. Non esistono confini: scuole, ospedali, palestre, piazze e persino social network si tingono di rosso per ricordarci che il cuore ❤️ non va trascurato. Alcuni paesi organizzano maratone e camminate di gruppo, altri preferiscono flash mob a tema “cuore” che lasciano tutti a bocca aperta.

Questa giornata, non è solo un invito a mangiare sano o a fare sport (anche se questi sono consigli preziosi!), ma una vera e propria festa della prevenzione e della consapevolezza: si parla di alimentazione equilibrata, attività fisica, gestione dello stress, ma anche di curiosità più divertenti, come il fatto che ridere fa bene al cuore – quindi più meme, più salute!

Curiosità? Eccone alcune che faranno sorridere:

in Sudafrica alcune scuole organizzano gare di ballo a ritmo di samba per allenare il cuore… e la risata!
In Brasile, le piazze si riempiono di “cuori giganti” gonfiabili dove adulti e bambini possono scattarsi selfie pulsanti.
In Giappone, c’è chi partecipa a corsi di cucina salutare indossando tute a forma di cuore. Insomma, ovunque nel mondo il cuore diventa protagonista e ci ricorda che la salute si può anche celebrare con leggerezza.

La Giornata Mondiale del Cuore è un invito a fermarsi, anche solo per un attimo, e ascoltare il proprio battito: un promemoria che il cuore❤️ non è solo simbolo d’amore, ma anche e soprattutto il motore della nostra vita. Quindi oggi, mentre sorseggiate il vostro caffè (maz 3 tazzine al giorno come consigliano i medici) o il vostro tè mattutino, fate un piccolo gesto per lui: un sorriso, una passeggiata, una corsetta o una fetta di frutta… il vostro cuore vi ringrazierà!

Un cuore sano è un cuore felice… e felice è anche molto chic!

Giornata Mondiale del Cuore❤️

C’è un giorno all’anno in cui il nostro cuore❤️ diventa la star indiscussa… e non stiamo parlando di romanticismo da film hollywoodiano!

Il 29 settembre si celebra infatti la Giornata Mondiale del Cuore, o

World Heart Day

una ricorrenza che ci ricorda quanto sia importante prenderci cura di questo straordinario muscolo che batte senza sosta per tutta la vita.

Ma perché proprio il 29 settembre? La data è stata stabilita dalla World Heart Federation negli anni ’90 come momento internazionale per sensibilizzare le persone sulle malattie cardiovascolari, che restano tra le principali cause di mortalità nel mondo. La prima celebrazione ufficiale risale al 2000, e da allora il 29 settembre è diventato un’occasione per diffondere informazioni, organizzare eventi, campagne di screening e – perché no – qualche passeggiata all’aperto con un tocco di glamour… magari indossando sneakers rosse, simbolo del cuore pulsante!

Dove si festeggia? Ovunque! La Giornata Mondiale del Cuore è davvero globale. Non esistono confini: scuole, ospedali, palestre, piazze e persino social network si tingono di rosso per ricordarci che il cuore ❤️ non va trascurato. Alcuni paesi organizzano maratone e camminate di gruppo, altri preferiscono flash mob a tema “cuore” che lasciano tutti a bocca aperta.

Questa giornata, non è solo un invito a mangiare sano o a fare sport (anche se questi sono consigli preziosi!), ma una vera e propria festa della prevenzione e della consapevolezza: si parla di alimentazione equilibrata, attività fisica, gestione dello stress, ma anche di curiosità più divertenti, come il fatto che ridere fa bene al cuore – quindi più meme, più salute!

Curiosità? Eccone alcune che faranno sorridere:

in Sudafrica alcune scuole organizzano gare di ballo a ritmo di samba per allenare il cuore… e la risata!
In Brasile, le piazze si riempiono di “cuori giganti” gonfiabili dove adulti e bambini possono scattarsi selfie pulsanti.
In Giappone, c’è chi partecipa a corsi di cucina salutare indossando tute a forma di cuore. Insomma, ovunque nel mondo il cuore diventa protagonista e ci ricorda che la salute si può anche celebrare con leggerezza.

La Giornata Mondiale del Cuore è un invito a fermarsi, anche solo per un attimo, e ascoltare il proprio battito: un promemoria che il cuore❤️ non è solo simbolo d’amore, ma anche e soprattutto il motore della nostra vita. Quindi oggi, mentre sorseggiate il vostro caffè (maz 3 tazzine al giorno come consigliano i medici) o il vostro tè mattutino, fate un piccolo gesto per lui: un sorriso, una passeggiata, una corsetta o una fetta di frutta… il vostro cuore vi ringrazierà!

Un cuore sano è un cuore felice… e felice è anche molto chic!

China's low-carbon technology trade: Facts and implications -

Kevin P. Gallagher, Renliang Liu, Jiaqi Lu, Ruyu Yin, Miaojie Yu, Praveena Bandara

"This study examines China's evolving role in global low-carbon technology (LCT) trade and its impact on climate mitigation. The novel data suggests China's transition from a net importer to a net exporter of LCTs over the past three decades. Employing a gravity-equation framework, we identify the economic and institutional factors that drive bilateral LCT flows. Fixed-effects regressions show that China's LCT exports significantly reduce partner-country CO₂ emissions, measured in total, per-capita, and intensity terms, and that these reductions are larger for high-income partners and for the energy-storage and pollution-control LCTs. We further find that partner-country human capital, political stability, and development assistance amplify these environmental benefits. We conclude with policy recommendations including sustained R&D investment, stable export prices, encouragement of outward FDI, further trade liberalization and improved international dialogue on capacity issues to advance global sustainable trade and decarbonization."
