🔥 Top post Sometimes I find or am reminded of the kind of website that re-ignites an old awe of what modern computers and the Internet are capable of. So have another one of Bartosz Ciechanowski's mind-bendingly awesome interactive demonstrations, this time on how a mechanical watch works:… ★ 58
I always forget how often it bears repeating but "publicly available" is _not_ the same as "open source". Just putting your code on a publicly accessible forge does not mean people are free to use it, redistribute it, modify it and redistr… This article in Science caught my attention because it first appeared in my RSS feed in Chinese, which I'd never seen (or at least noticed) before. The URL should serve as a warning of the tragic content. I found it eye-opening, both to ho… It looks like the date of Gaia Data Release 4 is currently 2 Dec 2026.

Titled "Large language models are not the problem", the argument is broadly that LLMs are only accelerating trends that astronomers had already established well before LLMs. I c… ★ 9 @gvwilson's blog is absolutely on fire lately 🔥. My favourite so far is "Big Tech is Like the Beauty Industry", which draws parallels to criticize both. https://third-bit.com/2026/04/25/big-tech-as-beauty/ ★ 1 Genuinely looking forward to this star-studded World War II drama about... a (truly critical) weather forecast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gQwG9Xi13g ★ 1 Dylan Ayrey and Mike Nolan's talk from #fosdem26 is a thought-provoking dive into the history of copyright and asks heavy questions about open source in the age of generative AI. "Let's end open source together with this one simple trick" … Got gleefully sidetracked over lunch today by the Heliospectrotron 5000, an interactive dashboard of a standard solar spectrum (aka "atlas") that just appeared in @OJ_Astro: https://astro.theoj.org/article/158273-heliospectrotron-5000-an-i… ★ 5
