This is a really cool post that exhaustively demonstrates how @jamshidi3d.bsky.social managed to demonstrate mesh deformation from raw observational data & explain things like Doppler effects when mapping. Great mix of Blender and the birth of the universe...
Who knew that Blender could help us study the stars? 🌌 In this new User Story, Ph.D student @jamshidi3d.bsky.social explains how he used Geometry Nodes for his research in cosmology.

This is a great series to wallpaper your office with - this is an especially good visualization for a facet of RAGAI that is often misunderstood
💥 I made a new drawing in my AI series, this time about Vector Databases, ANN, and HNSW. I hope it's useful!
It might be good to look at the Transformers one in the series before this one, for additional background.

Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.

Among the many holes in the "LLMs can do anything" claims, this is definitely the biggest. Unless you know what good looks like, they WILL give you bad. Inevitably. And they aren't really improving in this respect; they're mostly just getting more convincing. And convincingly wrong is worse.
How? How do you double-check the accuracy, if you're not already an expert? Ask a different GenAI? Or do you, you know... Have to go and do the research you would have done anyway, pre-AI? Because I'm buggered if I can think of how you do that in a way where the GenAI saved you time.

Gandalf had a Palantír for an extended period of time and was careful not to use it, because he knew it would lie to him with the truth.
But Middle Earth's greatest dipshits decided "RIP to Elendil but I'm built different."

It is not believable because this is complete bullshit.
Trump: "Transgender for everyone! Bring your kids in, we're gonna change the sex of your child. Just send them our way. In some cases, like in Minnesota, they don't even tell the parents. Nobody believes it when I say it. They operate on the kid, they don't tell the parents. It's not believable."

Tech is in an interesting place where some of the most accomplished engineers in the industry now say their job is now just telling AI to write all the code, debug it and fix the bugs.
Some of this is marketing hype from people who are selling AI tools (Boris works on Claude Code) but it rings true
