a metal robot arm extends from the top right of the frame, holding a plastic kitchen brush with bright white bristles out toward a very large, dark red squid just behind it. the squid's arms are splayed open, with the bright white suckers facing outward

hey did you know that a viable way to get a DNA sample from cephalopods is to literally scrape them with a kitchen brush

this is ROV SuBastian from the Schmidt Ocean Institute deploying the KBOS (Kitchen Brush Of Science) on a megalocranchia which is understandably less than thrilled 🧪🦑

This was mostly unprompted and entirely accidental after it realized it had made a bad analysis (or something like it, I can’t quite remember)

is there some way to fix bluesky logging me out like every day

Blast Radius #1: The Svelte Compiler Got 55% Faster. The Fix Was 3 Files. A developer asked Svelte about performance. Then he fixed it himself — 5 PRs in 8 days. Here's what the dependency graph reveals about his 3-file fix.

New blog series: Blast Radius

We take real open-source PRs and run them through a 3D dependency graph to show what the diff missed.

First up: the Svelte PR that made the compiler 55% faster. 3 files changed. 2,036 affected.

I have a poc of connecting to the tor network directly from the browser via the snowflake gateway. side effect is that it works like a CORS proxy. could also expose tcp/udp over socks

It's perfectly normal to encounter the idea of datacenters in space and wonder, "Why?" As an aerospace engineer who has been in this industry for ~15 years, let me try to give some historical context:

I went to a new year's festival here. they have super local thing of roasting three colored mochi over the fire

A bit part of the AI in art vs coding divide is about community norms

The software dev community as a rule detests copyright—it is associated with Oracle, SCO, etc

Artistic communities detest plagiarism

Both views are reasonable in their respective contexts!
