Well, isn’t this a sight for sore eyes! 😍 Our beloved Hubble appears in this amazing image from one of Vantor's WorldView Legion satellites. It was 36 years ago today that Hubble was launched in the bay of the Space Shuttle Discovery from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Credit: Vantor.

omg, Christina Koch shared the video from aboard Integrity during Artemis II when the chorus from Pink Pony Club didn't play www.instagram.com/reel/DXSkG9_...

Someone asked me how a centaur would smoke a cigar. The answer is through their trunk. Also this isn't a hypothetical, smoking psychoactive fungus is pretty common on some regions of the homeplanet and it's bad for their lungs for the exact reasons it's bad for human lungs

not sure i yet posted this older commissioned piece

A lot of people, including some people who damn well should know better, really need to take a good, hard look at their own behavior and do some serious self-examination about how it is detrimental to the culture *and* corrosive to themselves to constantly be dehumanizing and abusing staff.

On Earth Day, our home world seen from behind the Moon photographed 53 years apart with hand held cameras. Top: A crescent Earth rising from behind the Moon from Artemis II. Bottom: The gibbous Earth setting behind the Moon from Apollo 17. The rugged Lunar horizon cuts off Earth in both views.

TIL MP4 files have their own epoch and it's Jan 1, 1904?!?! (Don't worry Streamplace/MUXL just sets both these values to zero, we wouldn't expose you to this madness)

It really is kind of nuts how good the smaller models have become in recent time. I wrote a pipeline that auto-tags the unsorted-for-years mess of my pictures folder into an index for a clauded up local booru, and the whiff rate has been impressively low with qwen3.5:9B and gemma4:E4B.

Every time local models get more efficient we should nudge our estimate of the fundamental Shannon entropy of a human mind pattern downwards.

one mistake many weight lifters make is only focusing on arm day, since the results are more immediately visually impressive but x86 day is just as important

i love Ace Combat for putting so much effort into licencing real-world aircraft and modelling them with painstaking detail, only to get to the second half of the game and go "ok now its time for our plane: the Sleipnir X-5000" and it looks like an SR-71 Blackbird designed by Sephiroth

Folks, infrasound issues are fake. This was truly an insane experience to write and I hope you enjoy blog.andymasley.com/p/contra-ben...

There'd be something very cartographically elegant about designing a cylinder hab such that its length is an integer ratio of its circumference... like, your maps could be perfect 1:5 or 1:6 aspect ratio banners while still staying under the passive stability limit (1.33x length to ratio).

Artemis III should have sambal oelek

I'm glad the ascendancy of transformer models has made it immediately evident that rules-based NLP and Universal Grammar are destined for the dustbin of history. A brighter future is possible: together we can achieve total damnatio memoriae on Chomsky's intellectual legacy by 2030.

I often hear the retort that "the human brain is nothing like a computer", which in my opinion betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of what computation *is*. Like, the human brain is trivially not a digital microchip, but that says nothing at all about whether its workings can be simulated!

Somewhat funny corrolary: one light-nanosecond differs from one foot by a bare 1.6%. A metricized light-second distance framework could plausibly be pretty intuitive!

The Mario Galaxy Movie felt weirdly like it was written by a cohort of ~10 year old time travelers from the year 2008 who were really into fanfic and playing SMRPG on zsnes. 'Film with all the coherency of a MFGG dot net forum roleplay' goes down strangely with 'looks like it cost a gigadollar'.
