Open source software is so cool. This is my Rivian R1S being autonomously driven by the Comma 3X—a dashboard mounted device that hijacks the signal to my car’s autonomy computer and inserts its own (much more capable) inputs.

The software is free. And getting better daily.

I'm currently about ~75 miles away from the fires in LA that are still 0% contained and raging due to high winds.

A lot of people say "it's climate change" and then other people say "no it's not" but everyone misses the point:

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER IT'S CLIMATE CHANGE.

We are being beaten up by extreme weather events because we fail to do the large-scale megaprojects needed to manage our natural environment and keep our civilization safe.

Whether climate change is behind it or making it worse or even plays no role whatsoever is IRRELEVANT. Wildfires and hurricanes are happening. They are a problem. We need to solve the problem.

We need to overcome our lack of will and political inaction at ALL levels and implement large-scale land management and water management megaprojects to fix this situation.

We need public-private partnerships that mobilize talent and resources to drive mega-scale fire management (reducing fuel levels), mega-scale forest restoration (improving biome fire-resistance), and mega-scale water infrastructure (obvious), and we need all obstacles removed that keep huge and necessary megaprojects from being done.

I was in Hawaiʻi when Lahaina happened. It was horrifying. By whatever coincidence of fate I am now in California watching Pacific Palisades and Santa Monica burn. After Lahaina we found that the fire was due to gross mismanagement of land and water resources, and all that happened afterwards was more mismanagement - no one is doing anything to prevent the next fire.

I have no doubt that when the California fires are finally out we will discover the same thing: mismanagement having enabled it, and mismanagement doing nothing to prevent future disasters afterwards.

People talk about "preventing the fall of civilization" and they think it's some special thing. There is nothing fancy or mysterious about doing that: civilization is about organizing yourself and implementing the large-scale action you need to survive against the natural world and big disasters.

There is NO REASON why our cities should be burning down.

It's 2025, we're launching rockets and thinking about colonizing Mars but we have cities that burn down because we run out of water even though they are coastal towns? What??

When it comes to preventing these disasters, it doesn't really matter if climate change is a part of it: the problem remains and we must solve it.

It is happening because we are being stupid while is disaster prevention work to be done. We are not funding the work, we're not doing the work, and getting in the way of people who want to do the work.

Surviving as a civilization means doing a lot of big important work, and we are not doing it. We need to get to work, and we need to get rid of the things standing in our way from doing so.
