Amazing turnaround by the China's CMSA to prep the Shenzhou 22 spacecraft and Long March rocket to be launched only 11 days after the return of the suspect Shenzhou 20 capsule.
NASA took months to decide what to do with the Starliner spacecraft.

I played with the new Nano Banana, the new image generator inside Google's Gemini.
It created this graphic about Enshittification from a short prompt on the first try.
Quite impressive.

Just spent 3+ hours with ChatGPT trying to get it to write a script to convert old DVD image folders to MKV files.
It was one of the most frustrating experiences with ChatGPT forgetting requirements, repeated syntax failures, and many steps backward.
