been cranky… now i'm starting to see things that can only mean one thing: migraine :(

This is the highest-resolution view of the surface of the Sun. Ever. Taken by the NSF's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, features as small as 19 km across can be resolved. The wispy things are magnetic field boundaries formed by Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. The island of Ireland for scale.

we should be hitting the moon with more stuff. sick of it controlling our tides, causing people to spiral into insanity, turning some of our best guys into wolves

we have a new cleaner today bc our usual cleaner is taking off for maternity leave and rocco is doing Place like a good boy (bc he wants to herd new people) but he's acting like he's being punished, the saddest dog in the world and he usually gets treat bonanzas when doing Place!

there is nothing better than the movie critiques of experienced professionals that are intently focusing on things they would have done differently m.youtube.com/watch?v=V5Ej...

it would take 4-5 skeets to explain all the blatantly wrong ideas animating these 2 posts that, as far as i can tell, don’t even fill up the character limit this guy is such an obnoxious fuckwit “aristocratic” “inherent frugality”

okay now he's gone too far

Trying out the features in Claude for education. Join me as I see how it "helps" me write a research paper. My chosen topic: "AI and education". /1

this guy isn’t saying “everybody’s doing it” to persuade his audience, he’s saying it to persuade himself i think this is one of the more interesting character flaws of our time they really want to believe everybody’s lying but them

Every generation has a fight, unfortunately this one is ours

I want to read the thing all on my own like a grownup and make my own notes and draw my own conclusions. Reading is the joy of the thing. I like reading and thinking. I don’t want to know what an algorithm wants to present as useful and I REALLY don’t like robot errors.

almost always 1 but i like all of them 3-4 1 or, really, 0 to -1

"Instead of a portrait of the head of state, Zelenskyy suggested people hang portraits of their children in their offices, so they could look them in the eye and think not about upcoming elections but about the future." —Dmitry Bykov, "V.W.: Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Making of a Nation"

the “AI” went rogue!! and did things! they didn’t use permissions, guardrails or a sandbox

they should have tried to pour gasoline on their pants and see what happens when they put a match to it - would be also a highly interesting scientific experiment!

holy shit. and i thought pages defaulting to icloud drive when you save was aggravating. at least autosave still works regardless!

Heather Burns@heatherburnstech.bsky.social · yesterday

The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.

the majority of tech press and "product ideas" right now are pure magical thinking "i'm an athlete, i want to know how i slept as a baby" doesn't add up in any universe, EVEN IF the ~data~ was useful, which it absolutely isn't nobody is OR WILL study infant sleep vs adult athletic performance

None of this makes sense.

Although current news has brought us to the fake threats in this historical tale, it’s the frantic weekend writing a fake German play that really gets me

so much to love about panic as a company, and stuff like this ranks super high for me. how thoughtful!

if you suffer from motion sickness with first-person games, please try one of our "motion reduction overlays" in Big Walk — crosshair, frame, or both. this is experimental, but we really want to improve this accessibility issue. give it a bit of time (if you can) then report back!! here's "both":

ugh!! i am not a historian and even i know that history is not about "sorting facts." history is written by people and people are limited, fallible, *and* frequently dishonest!

Aparna Nair@disabilitystor1.bsky.social · yesterday

"History involves sorting and organizing hundreds of thousands of facts" I remain astounded by how loud and wrong people are about what history actually is.

cooooool! interactive fiction on a (hacked?) mini xteink eink ereader!!
