We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

Voyager 1 is 24 billion kilometers from Earth.

It communicates with us using a 23-watt transmitter.
Less than a refrigerator light bulb.

The signal takes 22 hours to reach us, traveling at the speed of light.

By the time it arrives, it's 20 billion times weaker than the power of a digital watch battery.

NASA's Deep Space Network picks it up using 70-meter dish antennas cooled to near absolute zero to reduce electronic noise.

The engineering required to hear a 23-watt signal from 24 billion km away is arguably more impressive than the spacecraft itself.

Launched 1977.
Still transmitting.
Still being heard.

We built something that works perfectly, 47 years later, in conditions no one has ever tested in.

That's what engineering for the long term looks like.

@Delta is out of touch with how much the food costs in the very airports they serve. Delayed by over 2 hrs because of a crew shortage and I get a $12 meal voucher. I’ll certainly enjoy my coke and small bag of lays …

@benmoores2 I didn’t see the Red Fort on there (or I missed it?). That’s definitely one for the list. The Amber Fort in Rajasthan is another one.

@turbotax Ok, just sent a dm

[bamundgaard ☦️ @bamundgaard]

@turbotax screwed up filing our state taxes and now we’re on our own the fix it. The actual TurboTax rep suggested we just file without the paperwork and “hope they miss it”

@3M thanks … you’re command strips really came through 😠

Sitting alone outside with a book is one of the most contrarian & elegant things you can do these days

Does @delta actually know how to do something early? Another early flight only to wait on my bags forever.

[bamundgaard ☦️ @bamundgaard]

@Delta: we’re pleased to announce an early arrival!
A2 minutes later: folks, we’re sorry but there is a plane at our gate so we’re going to have to sit on the runway for 30 minutes.

I’ve got a great idea, how about just land on time.

@Delta Sky Club is the best!
