Jag hänger mest här för att följa intressanta konton och nyheter. Väldigt lite egna inlägg, högst ointressan att följa, sorry 😄

"I think most people are underestimating the power we will get with the E version [...] great capabilities in not being detected, spoofing, or affecting other sensors."

Posting this again because I've been getting questions: at this moment there is no licensed merch for Murderbot or Sanctuary Moon except what is on Worldbuilders Market worldbuildersmarket.com/collections/... where it's sold for charity fundraising. And they are getting a new t-shirt design soon.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting next to Green, who has curled up into a tight ball, looking miserable. Green: Would you still love me if I never got better? Blue hesitates a moment before answering. Blue: What a silly thing to ask. Joining Green on the floor, Blue wraps himself around Green, who doesn't seem as sad anymore. Blue: I would love you even if you got worse.

🎃 The carved pumpkins that we call “Jack-o’-lanterns” get their name from 𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘶𝘴, a natural phenomenon that many cultures have associated with the paranormal.

Last month, a group of chemists published a study that offers one explanation for how these faint orbs illuminate.

As the neurological underpinnings of transitional sleep states come to light, scientists are gaining a better understanding about what is going on after dark — specifically in the brains of people who have trouble sleeping. www.quantamagazine.org/how-the-brai...
How the Brain Moves From Waking Life to Sleep (and Back Again) | Quanta Magazine
Neuroscientists probing the boundary between sleep and awareness are finding many types of liminal states, which help explain the sleep disorders that can result when sleep transitions go wrong.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are walking. Blue listens intently as Green goes on talking as he talks, leading the way. Green: Once we get home, I'll read a book, weave two baskets, re-arrange the pantry, learn esperanto- Blue interrupts Green, who turns to listen. Blue: That's quite a list. Are you sure you're being completely realistic? Green takes a momentary pause from being cartoonish, being now depicted as a painstakingly detailed and shaded painting of a fox, with fur texture, whiskers and all. Extremely realistic Green: Of course. Returning back to normal, Green keeps walking. Blue follows, looking at Green with suspicion. Blue: How long did it take you to draw that gag? Green: A lot longer than I am willing to admit.

Wavefunction Collapse

xkcd.com/3134/
4-panel Comic. (1) STUDENT: If the wavefunction only collapses when I observe it, does that mean my consciousness affects the universe? (2) [Bad:] PROFESSOR: Yes, quantum entanglement proves that we all have souls. (3) [Good:] PROFESSOR: No, consciousness plays no role here. It’s just physical measurement. (4) [Chaotic:] PROFESSOR: No. The wavefunction collapses when *I* look at it because I’m a full professor. It won’t collapse for an undergraduate.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

POV: You're a Dung Beetle
Panel 1: In a bug classroom, a praying mantis teacher points at a board sketch of Sisyphus rolling a boulder and says, “So, Sisyphus was doomed to roll the rock up the hill for all eternity.” Panel 2: A dung beetle student beams and says, “That sounds wonderful,” while a butterfly next to him listens. Panel 3: The butterfly replies, “It’s actually horrible.” Panel 4: The dung beetle still beams and says, “Ok. It’s horrible.”
