Tweets on tech, design, and life in Toronto. Lover of boardgames and a good cheese. Tweets are my own.

Today marks #SolarOrbiter's closest approach to the Sun, giving it a front-row seat during #SolarEclipse2024 🕶️🍿
What's more, this weekend the spacecraft is 90 degrees further round the Sun compared to Earth, meaning it can watch for potentially dangerous eruptions sent in our direction ☀️➡️🌍

I love these little pr*cks. Support @SickKids today.

@TheFakeEsse @CommunautoTO You're right, it's nigh impossible. And forget about weekends in Toronto unless you hoard by Thursday morning

[ESA's Solar Orbiter @ESASolarOrbiter]

👋🌞 Hello, Sun! #SolarOrbiter is making its closest approach to the Sun as it reaches #perihelion at approx. 09:25 CEST today.

🤔 What will the data tell us? Stay tuned!

📷🔧A last minute camera ‘hack’ on #SolarOrbiter’s @EuiTelescope has enabled a new mode of operation to record part of the Sun’s atmosphere at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths that has been almost impossible to image until now 🔗https://t.co/v6nth81SeA

What if we designed cities, and the land-uses, densities and infrastructure that make them what they are, so that daily activity and exercise was just an ordinary, “invisible” part of every day life?

It’s actually not that hard. You just have to change priorities. #HealthyCities

How to use any referencing software:

Step 1: Meticulously add all articles and details ✏️
Step 2: Generate reference list 📄
Step 3: Proceed to reformat EVERY reference cuz they're all wrong. ☠️

🙌Happy Biomedical and Clinical Engineering Week! This week we recognize the Medical Engineers @UHN who combine their skills in technology and healthcare to support patient care. Today, we turn to Melissa (@MelissaG47 ), a Clinical Engineer here on our team

Neato illusion, and nice illustration of relationship between global optical flow and perception of ego motion. Will use in my class!

Differences in perceived speed

@GaryMarcus Yes! I came across this recently and I've looking around for an image to share in my course. Thanks.

[Anthony Soung Yee @tonefone]

Couldn't agree more.

[Anthony Soung Yee @tonefone]

@strombo Spurious correlation, thy name is...

[Anthony Soung Yee @tonefone]

@TraceyHerlihey @KenCatchpole Indeed! I always make it a point to remind my class that these mental shortcuts are both necessary and in the vast majority of times, help you arrive at "good" decisions.

[Anthony Soung Yee @tonefone]

Liked for the article, which goes beyond what the tweet is saying. It's an interesting attempt to tie together what seems like a laundry list of disparate biases, which has always bothered me. Nice.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

There are hundreds of cognitive biases, but most of them stem from a failure to recognize that our beliefs are subject to biases.

Defending our views stalls learning. Questioning them stimulates growth.

The only belief worth cherishing is the belief that you might be wrong.

[Anthony Soung Yee @tonefone]

Can't recall a stronger feeling of confirmation bias than reading Reality Is Broken by @avantgame, on the benefits of playing video games. 🫠 (Fantastic read btw)

[Anthony Soung Yee @tonefone]

@TraceyHerlihey Thanks Tracey, I saw a couple of them, mixed in with some other fun stuff 🙂
