On the NASA #Artemis II livestream just now: "... and the song you heard was Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan to kick off the crew's day" 🩷🐴🌈

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)
More context on this #Artemis II image:
* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right
* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

If I were on a mission whose computer system required me to deal with Microsoft Outlook in space, I’d give up and go back to the slide rule
Good stuff from the creator of Claude Code at the end of December
saw “nobody put a sequel clause in their contract” and started cackling, this rules so hard
the merchandising alone is probably worth more than the payday given that half the little girls at my kids’ school were going as one of the kpop demon hunters for halloween
The best preparation for being a parent wasn't NCT classes or books; it was managing a team of software engineers. My 4 and 2 year olds are far better at playing with others than those maladjusted coders.

A still from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Icarus Factor", showing Worf howling pain, getting hit by two "pain sticks" in his ribcage.

Easily one of the top charts of all time
I love the idea of some hotel receptionist saying “And we’re looking forward to welcoming Lord Mandelson next week as well“ and Hoyle saying “wait what”
Igalian and @gnome.org maintainer @bassi.io was recently interviewed on the "Kernel und Kernobst" podcast where they talked at length about the GNOME project and how it's developed by hundreds of open-source developers. Find out about this and more at: www.trommelspeicher.de/podcast/spec...
WHAT
Kernel devs will literally get an LLM work wife rather than working with other kernel devs
It's the weirdest thing. Say these things work (they do not): Isn't the pitch that these things do shit for you while you enjoy life?
But these men do not want to (or are unable to) enjoy life. They want another hit from the slop machine. They are addicts and need help.
Some of my coworkers at @igalia.com worked on this feature!
Hikaru Utada reveals in recent interview they identify as “tri-bi”: “Bisexual, bilingual and non-binary.”

Kind of gives away the whole game that all the crypto ads this year have been replaced with gambling and AI ads.
Imagine if your lawyer submits an AI-generated court brief so bad that the judge says "goddamn dude, fuck you" and rules against you before it even goes to trial. That is what actually happened here lmao
this is the closest we're ever going to get to "I can't believe the leopards ate my face" in the wild
The game menu of Star Trek: The Next Generation, A Final Unity
The bridge crew of the starship Enterprise 1701-D, at the beginning of A Final Unity. You can see Riker on the left of the screen, leaning on the helm console; Data, at the ops station; Deanna, on the counsellor seat; Worf at tactical; and Picard at the very front, like he's going to jump out of the main viewscreen and straight into space, for some reason.
I also had this in the pipeline, but I'm pretty sure plenty of Trekkies remember it
post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers
