Just for fun, here's a stack of 4 long exposure photographs of the remarkable Ada, OK storm on 09-23-23. These images, which were all taken in a span of less than one minute, represent the intense electrical activity this storm exhibited. I doubt I'll ever see something like it again. #Photography

I didn't expect such a warm reception to my anime sfx generator. Thank you 😊
Here's another tiny toy; Fossil Maker. Create random, mostly silly-looking, fossils of creature skeletons

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox!
I made it for a game, but it's free to use.
I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble.
If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :)

Did a dive into the engineering challenges posed by data centers in space. They could work! But there's a lot of technological development to be done www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Why AI Data Centers in Space Aren’t Totally Science Fiction
Tech billionaires want to move AI’s massive energy demands off Earth. The engineering hurdles are enormous.

logical evolution of the long-exposure video-to-image processing i was doing a while back, now doing video-to-video processing with a decay factor
here's about 10 minutes of haneda airport (tokyo) sped up and processed to produce these delightful light trails

So in many ways the job of the programmer is what it always was
Claude Opus can do pretty much any well-defined task. The job is now defining the task.
a few years ago everyone thought the new job would be prompt engineer, that only a special few would know the secret whispers to get good results
and now I just say 'do the thing' and it goes off and nails it perfectly

This is objectively speaking the greatest dream of any post-colonial Western society and anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't understand history.
“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

Suspending Doctors Without Borders is definitely a thing healthy countries do
Israel says it will suspend several humanitarian groups, including Doctors Without Borders, in 2026 for failing its new vetting rules for groups working in Gaza. Some international organizations have said that Israel’s rules are arbitrary and could endanger staff.
