🚨New book announcement!🚨 Award-winning astronomer Emily Levesque’s (@emsque) STARLIGHT IS FALLING, coming 2027, offers an expansive, eye-opening account of cosmic discovery through one of the greatest scientific debates of all time: the precise value of the Hubble constant.
Not sure I've seen this yet: I made a comparison of the old #Hubble composite image of SMACS 0723 (B&W) fading to the new #JWST image!
Actually surprising how similar they are! The real difference comes from the exquisite level of detail you can now see in every little galaxy.
@HeyerSascha thanks for writing up Explainable AI on Medium. I head up the XAI team and wanted reach out and say hi 👋🏼 We didn't realize that the GitHub repo for the XAI SDK was not alerting us when there were new issues, so we just saw the bugs you filed. Apologies!
@emsque Log == log_numeric_base. Whoever made that slide clearly is in the chaotic evil category, and they probably think that pizzas are sandwiches. Yes I'm willing to start a new front in the culture wars over this.
A huge wave of strikes has begun across northern Italy, with ~700,000 workers refusing to aid Nazi occupiers. Factories of puppet "Italian Social Republic" stand idle in protest against continued German domination.
@c_dan4th I'm guessing he's decided (if he's still rational) that holding Kyiv hostage is his next big bargaining chip for getting NATO to give him an Eastern Europe sphere of influence. Next tipping point is probably if Turkey denies use of Bosporus or NATO moves more missile defense
@c_dan4th Basically Putin needs a good distraction/rallying cry from issues at home, a grudge about Pres Clinton breaking security guarantees in the 90s, desire for USSR-like relevance, & good pretext for invading Estonia/Lithuania next to secure Kaliningrad access
@c_dan4th What's odd is that before Putin has been much shrewder and a master of strategy. This crisis feels more like he's suffering from mental health issues from lockdown and is irrationally re-using strategies that actually started wars that quickly escalated beyond original intent/aim

@gabor Alternative hypothesis- this has always been going on and what has changed is the narrative arc we tell ourselves about successful startups swung from "grit, speed & ramen" to "Sistine chapel"
