It’s been an incredible 2 week sprint. Claude in browser and I, co-directing Claude Code. Multi-layer keyframe animator. A Metal shader that really rocks. Share soon. Thanks for the inspiration!

Nice. My 4K 60fps fulldome (180 degree fisheye) splat navigator is coming along, with Claude Code help. Fun.

Beautiful work.

A vintage French movie poster for "La Conquête de l'Espace" (Conquest of Space) features bold yellow titles over a scene of astronauts on a futuristic space station, a small rocket in flight, and a large orange planet against a starry blue sky.

Byron Haskin's Conquest of Space was released 71 years ago today.

"An American-led team of International astronauts leave their space station on the first mission to Mars, but the captain's religious beliefs may get in the way."

Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

I was there. In fact a couple of them slept at our loft, first trip to New York. I was in Minneapolis, a friend of theirs asked if his friends from Akron could stay there. I called my future wife in NYC, had returned when they arrived. I still have the original 45 they gave out. They came prepared.

Hey guys, wrong clip.

Lovely, but the recording and sheet music are his performance of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

Did not have the beagle liberation front on my bingo card this morning.

Child: I know your name. Mamdani.

Obama: What’s his first name?

Child: Mayor.

Crumbling cliffs, ancient ruins. Happens to us all if we are lucky.

Can you believe that until now there were more genomes sequenced for the woolly mammoth than for living African elephants?

Today, we bring you the first genomic, continent-scale analyses of 232 high-quality genomes of both species, the savanna and forest elephant.

This is Achrioptera manga, a giant phasmid or stick insect native to Madagascar.

The specific epithet, "manga" means blue in Malagasy & it's not hard to see why. Only males are blue.

The tiny back wings ("alae") are an example of brachyptery: they're useless for flight, but have other functions.

this is fucking nuts:

Bio includes line "EMP Your Local Data Center"

Your Bluesky bio. Stick to cancer research (my son's field). Rock on.

Proposing EMP strikes in a public forum - are you both that dumb? You’ll get over your irritation at not being able to access your favorite data centers. Chill.

And yet you are all still posting through one of Bluesky’s 60 servers (3 are down). Curious.

impossible to have a bad time playing this instrument tbh ☺️

Cluddites unite. Go back to writing letters. Send them by messenger. Horseback is best. #summerofludd

So now we’re blaming every glitch on Claude?

Ah, East Village. We missed you.
But they used a dot matrix printer. Where do you draw the line? Summer of Ludd

Claude Code overview - Claude Code Docs Claude Code is an agentic coding tool that reads your codebase, edits files, runs commands, and integrates with your development tools. Available in your terminal, IDE, desktop app, and browser.

Sorry, no ghost in the machine. Came back, started Claude again, it caught up and made progress. Usually have CLAUDE.md file updated before quitting. Those slash commands let you resume last session. Now I know.

Claude Code is another level. Building my splat viewer app, I accidentally quit terminal mid-session. Learned a few new commands. Have fun, kids! Stay safe out there. #Xcode #claude #fulldome

Interesting update on NASA's proposal to send a nuclear-powered rocket to Mars.

I'd sure love to see NASA release some information about the planned design of Space Reactor-1, along with the prospects for incorporating science into what is basically a planned technology demonstrator. 🧪

Well said. And it requires the “vibe coder” to develop a working understanding of UX. A bit like how Photoshop exposed design bad taste.
