Hey so it's been two years since Eggbug went read-only. What are some lessons we learned about race demographics, moderation and financials? What's the current social media landscape like? Fun thing to be writing about the day I found out the head of trust and safety on bluesky has blocked me lmfao

Two Years After Eggbug

On the anniversary of the final day of chosting - some thoughts about where we've been (and maybe what's next?)

🧪⚒️ Interesting: modelling of length of day changes suggests that primary coupling between core and mantle is mainly a gravitational torque (dense bits of core and mantle attracting each other) rather than mechanical drag at core-mantle boundary or interaction with geomagnetic field.

The finding suggests that geophysicists could be on the right track to understanding mysterious structures in Earth’s deep interior go.nature.com/4d1EmXC

NASA released a bunch of 16 and 35mm film engineering footage of the Artemis II launch today. Naturally I knew what I had to do with it.

For now, here's a fun doodle I did awhile back, depicting an interpretation of a spurious moon of Venus, Neith, which was once reported by astronomers way back in the 17th century. Obviously, it is well known today that Venus does not actually have any natural satellites. Still fun to draw!

A large, bright crescent shaped moon, with a white-grey coloration and shaded craters, hangs behind a tan-brown anvil cloud in a blue-green sky. Purple and blue bolts of lightning pierce through the clouds.

Version two of Kamo'oalewa. I feel very confident in these orientations and the overall shape. Some features could definitely be better matched but I'm pretty satisfied with this model. I'll be curious to see how well the unseen portions of the model match reality if/when more imagery is released.

Starting to get the hang of the line camera, also got the python API to output sequential images and auto-stitch them into arbitrarily large pictures

A black and white image of a car taken by a line camera. Unlike a regular camera the horizontal axis represents time instead of space. The unchanging background appears as a series of streaks, a slow moving person pushing a stroller appears distorted and stretched, and a car appears relatively normal.A photograph of a small black industrial line camera with the lens off exposing the strip of pixels. The camera is roughly cubical and dotted with screw holes for mounting.
