Loeb’s 3I/ATLAS “Anomalies” Explained Avi Loeb continues to claim that 3I/ATLAS has many anomalous behaviors that lead to the conclusion that it “might” be an alien spacecraft.  He carefully hedges the probability that it is a spacecraft ...

Great piece by astronomer and SETI leader Jason Wright on the endless, exhausting claims about 3I/Atlas by Avi Loeb.

"zero planetary scientists give Avi’s claims any credence... because he’s demonstrably wrong"

Especially if the jedis want to work ATC.

I read it as a notice about staffing related shortages at all those airports plus weather notice at the ones at bottom: winds, thunderstorms, low visibility.

In other words, extra patience related to travel.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars", "Star Trek", "Doctor Who", or "Transformers".

Thanks for sticking around and sharing your knowledge, even when having to deal with such things.

The realization that the good work I do is how I provide for my family. Simple, but works for me.

Very similar results for me…

I’m a fan of knowing which work one should outsource. For us, we chose to pay others to do some yard work and some house cleaning. The “value of time” calculator from ClearerThinking.org was helpful for deciding. HTH.

Can readwise/Reader potentially help?

Hoping for the best for you. We lost one of the boxes of stuff when we moved from Brazil to Canada ages ago. Most arrived ok, but one didn’t :-(

Oh no! Hoping you can navigate as speedy a recovery as possible.

You can tune a file system but you can’t tuna fish :-)

This is heartbreaking. You’re 100% correct, of course.

I wanted to find it. Tried Claude, no luck. Gemini pointed me to the TOMT community in Reddit but didn’t link the video. I found it searching there, thanks to some kind soul that posted 5y ago or something. :-)

I'm really happy that a combination of AI and Reddit led me to find the video of a short ad I was looking for. Courtesy of Computer Associates, no less, I think it perfectly captures some of the key issues with cybersecurity nowadays.

Really clear, thank you for sharing. Hoping more people lean on it and adapt it to their environments.

If you ask Rick Astley for his copy of the movie Up, he cannot give it to you as he will never give you Up. However, in doing so, he lets you down. Therefore it creates The Astley Paradox.

My latest incident of dropping-AirPods-in-airplane (though not really, I had just misplaced them) convinced me to switch to over-ear-type noise cancelling headphones for air travel. Not looking to spend a fortune. What do people recommend?

This, a million times over. They (sellers) also don’t mind if people conflate the high precision of specialized ML models with the scale of hallucinations coming out of current models.

Yeah. I recall a friend who used to coach youth hockey in Canada. He’d kick-off the initial parents’ meeting with “if your kid is playing here on this team and this league, he’s NOT going to the NHL, so cool it”. Wise man.

The 1/3 cup measure is the one I use to move coffee from the large coffe grounds tin into the smaller one. Fits perfectly without spilling over. :)

Awesome. I’m really bad but it’s fun to play with players at a similar level as you.

Congratulations to him and to his entire family :-) We know that this level of performance comes from his own immense talents and dedication but also from the support of his family. So incredibly happy for you and for him.

Yup! Also, meant to say hi at DRB but ended up not doing so. Sorry! :-)
