Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...
I'm burnt out of discussing "AI". I don't care for the press releases from big companies. I hate having to comment immediately. I dislike "hot takes". I'm worried we, as scientists, are losing touch with scientific values. We've become customers, salivating at ads marketed to investors. 1/15
Spam complètement invraisemblable reçu ce matin 💀 Comment peut-on en 2026 1) écrire ce genre de foutaises de boomers au moment où le pays prend en pleine poire la réalité du climat qu'il a construit, 2) avoir le culot de l'envoyer à un chercheur d'une école du ministère de la transition écologique ?

La France est sèche et brûlée. Après avoir déjà dépassé 2003 avec la journée la plus chaude jamais observée en France, l’année 2026 dépasse désormais les sécheresses de 1976 et 2022. 1/4
the thing is, this shouldn't be sobering, this shouldn't be _at all_ surprising, scientists have been screaming from the rooftops that this was on the way for longer than most people on planet earth have been alive, and yet we chose to pretend things were fine and to burn more and more carbon
