it’s that time ⚡️

How Palantir, not Anthropic, led US bombs to kill 175 civilians, mostly 7-12yo girls, in a school in Minab, Iran on Feb 28. How embedding automation - not LLMs in this case, just image processing and sensor fusion - in military workflows mutes human judgment, causes errors, & diverts accountability.

The heat energy we added to the ocean LAST YEAR is the equivalent of: - Detonating ten hydrogen bombs every minute - operating over a hundred large power plants continuously for all of written human history - Five times all the electricity human beings have ever used

This is insane.

these surface mount foil capacitors i found for ac coupling an audio signal look really pretty under a microscope~

Our Extremely Large Telescope is already 70% complete! But what would you see if you walked inside it today? The latest #ChasingStarlight episode takes you there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IUeLqC-xpo 🔭 🧪

FCC out there making sure we are not having fun

reading the “Risk & Challenges” section on crowdsupply these days be like… 😪

upsetting both sides by calling it AGI (artificial generative intelligence)

in-band signaling is always a mistake and unix tooling is full of in-band signaling https://mas.to/@zekjur/116022397626943871

last summer i took my mom to her first music festival and now she told me how excited she is to go back this year with her boyfriend 🥹 (Draaimolen in the Netherlands)

new episode of Crackhead Engineering crackhead.technology/contact-sale... (although this entry is more "Crackhead Sales"... doesn't have the same ring to it, does it now?)

Sometimes I torture the FreeCAD constraint solver, just to feel something...

This detachable robotic hand design, reminiscent of "Thing" from The Addams Family, enhances both manipulation and locomotion - overcoming some limitations of traditional human-like hands! 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

this is the first time since i can remember that my entire household is joining a strike (both white and blue collar), and i don't think i've ever gotten this many newsletter emails from random businesses to let me know they would be closed tomorrow

*at the therapist* it all started when my mom wouldn't dunk me repeatedly as a child

i'm obsessed. i just started using Poline for everything and this fills another gap in my life i didn't know was there. incredible work!!

love me a vendor toolchain that ships with a MATLAB installer (and then fails to run because ofc this bs doesn't work in Parallels)

sometimes all we can do is keep putting one hand in front of the other. do not despair. rather, hope all things. kierkegaard

if you use an iPhone, turn on iCloud Private Relay. now. it is not a VPN; but it comes with your iCloud subscription and will protect against this form of surveillance. without impacting your user experience.

(ofc i did not delete BO for production)

i was just reminded of that one time PCBWay didn't like my otter

The abandonment of font hinting is a HUGE problem for 1-2 bit medium resolution display technologies like this that are now _extremely_ common: There can be tens of thousands of these in one retail store. Font hinting needs to come back, like optical sizes had to come back for print. #typography

KiCAD question: is there a better way for breaking out a bus on the top level of a hierarchical schematic than this?

btw if anyone who actually knows what they are doing, could take a look if this makes sense... would super appreciate it <3 @yote.gay mb?

hope this isn't too much of a spoiler 🤫

:c

This is how enjambment can work in a poem. Bridge 77 on the Macclesfield Canal allows a horse to cross the canal without having to untie it from the canal boat.

What I'm listening to today: "MICHIGAN SYNTH WORKS Bella Analog Mono Synth", Gianfranco Carone It is the end of the year and I am too tired to write a good summary for this track. So I am just going to say: This video contains BEEP and BANGING NOISE www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JfS...

talk: so the bluetooth frame includes a flag to say if it's a firmware update me: I see

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background. The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

look at these little guys we met in the redwoods!! they had the same idea ✨

I really wish Prusa had tried to work with OSI, CC, and/or OSHWA instead of greenfielding a new license. Even if the principle behind this license wasn't misguided, I don't think it's precise enough to legally accomplish any of the goals Prusa stated. Please don't use this.

this is PRETTY bad www.fda.gov/inspections-...

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google. My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence! go.bsky.app/8cn1XfT

remember when GPUs used to be for gaming?
