Sound points from NGCP (opens the original)
Read excerpt
IN a press briefing last week, the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP), the operator of the Philippines’ transmission grid and the leg of the energy infrastructure tripod that the current leadership of the Department of Energy (DOE) loves to hate, made two solid recommendations for better management of the energy system. The first is something rather simple that would not actually require the involvement of policymakers or the regulator, although that would certainly be helpful. The se
Falling into Q4 (opens the original)

IN football — the American kind — there is this trope among coaches to gather together their teams at the end of the third quarter (the game is divided into four quarters of 15 minutes each), and declare, “okay, it’s a brandnew ball game. 15 minutes to go, let’s win this.” The coaches who say this the most often are the ones whose teams have gotten absolutely shellacked for 45 minutes, and are down by a double-digit number of points, or those whose teams are only a point or two ahead or behind t

Surprisingly, his views were seconded by almost all of the marquee AI personalities, which led many to wonder what was actually happening. Those who are conspiratorially inclined have embraced the speculat
Smarter energy frameworks through proper definitions (opens the original)

AS a programming note, I had a different topic in mind for today’s column, but I was somewhat concerned about the reaction it might elicit, so earlier this week I decided to try to smoke out any potential backlash to it. Turns out my suspicions were correct; that little maneuver on my part resulted in a veiled threat coming my way, so for the sake of keeping some other people and the organization whose welfare I care about out of the crossfire, I will instead discuss another subject of importanc
