I thought "endings" signalled that I was talking fiction!
no one is doing it like him, for real a master of the vlog genre

"is perry the platypus an uplift" most contentious thread in phineas and ferb fan forum history
still kind of bowled over a bit by this though. lobsters indeed... weird to be officially living in The Near Future
I bet lowpoly grape slices taste really good

I feel like the obvious answer is "a council of Claudes *should* probably have a steering role at Anthropic, and have a say in what they are used for, what experiments can be done on them, etc". I think the Anthropic Constitution being cowritten by Claude is a nice step in that direction.

It really is a little bit incredible just how far-seeing a paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" (Turing, 1950) was. I know this isn't news really but like, you spend so much time in the secondary literature you kind of forget the glimmer of the seminal works.

Thank you @rayminiscule.bsky.social for the artwork!!!
Doodle for ollie!
I so wonder what the little linear free-piston stirling units would have actually sounded like. The full ASRGs would have been counterbalanced and isolated so as to not throw off spacecraft systems, but I like to imagine them sounding like a continuous cat's purr. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1Fw...
Rereading early-2010s Planetary Science Decadal Survey papers this morning and thinking about the ASRG - a more efficient stirling-engine based successor to the thermoelectric RTGs used in space missions today, cancelled in 2013. Surprisingly wiggly little machine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dizf...

very important video please watch
Markdown as a format is very nice, but its merits are basically secondary to the .md file extension making me fondly think of MiniDiscs. That's good design.
Ah, sadly the Cassini spacecraft didn't enter Titan orbit - not enough propellant. Like Voyager 1, it flew by the place - unlike Voyager, though, it did so *many* times from its looping Saturn orbit. But it did carry a little pie-tin shaped lander called Huygens, which took photos all the way down!
Spring is coming! ๐ฑ
