THREAD 🧵 El Nino has returned, raising the likelihood of more extreme weather worldwide. From record heat and floods to droughts, wildfires and economic disruption, here is what scientists say the climate pattern could mean for the months ahead. #Infograph

they should invent a dedicated device for soggy takeout burger like they invented the panini press for 5am dürüm kebab

it feels impossible to have conversations about tech anymore that feel inspiring or get me excited because almost everyone who has insight is either just as jaded as i am or extremely annoying

i was convinced it's AI after watching the water in the tub defy the physics of fluid dynamics but if there was any doubt, i agree the ice cubes bowl one is painfully obvious fake.. i knew it was too round to be true! ffs not even otters are safe now >.>

gn chat - i seek your wisdom. someone sent me a video of an otter i didn't know yet, which is rare but does happen my initial reaction: this otter looks like no otter i've seen in 15 years of otter obsession. then logical second thought: it could be AI. sucks, but i could just block and move on

THREAD 🧵 Iran has submitted its latest proposal in response to a US proposal. The US says it's reviewing the Iranian document, but with the two countries insisting on their position, it's not clear if they will be able to reach an agreement. #Infograph

close-ups of the component side (well, the side with more components)

first impressions of the Lego smart brick, before I do any actual tearing down: wow, I forgot how good they are at working with plastic. the injecton molding remains impeccable, at least for this specific piece (I know about their recent QC issues elsewhere)

The peoples of Palestine and Lebanon stand united today against Israel’s genocide and horrific aggression.

chat should i book flights for May now or after the domestic retaliations following tonight’s war crimes?

mods are asleep post camera falling out of plane and landing in a pig pen to be licked by a pig

i always thought radiation hardening of electronics exposed to unfiltered cosmic and solar radiation is extremely difficult and expensive? requiring dedicated fab nodes etc?? yet here they just send a couple GoPros and iPhones past LEO and they continue working for more than few hours 🤯

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

what’s a good source for untreated plywood and thin MDF sheets specifically for lasercutting (2-6mm) in the US? ideally some place local to Oakland, but also curious for your go-to online shop^^

I can't believe Katherine Johnson used to do these sorts of calculations and simulations BY HAND. I'm flabbergasted.

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 🔭 🧪

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

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)

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
