Project Lyra explores the possibility of sending a spacecraft to chase 'Oumuamua using an Earth gravity assist to reach Jupiter, which robs the craft of almost all its speed, causing it to drop to the Sun for an Oberth maneuver. Thanks Adam Hibberd for the trajectory data!

Started getting eye strain when I got a newer mac. Eyes would be zonked by Thu/Fri each week. The cause was "temporal dithering", where pixels strobe between different colors even when just looking at static text. Turned it off with github.com/aiaf/Stillcolor and was all good!

We’re fully releasing Gemma 3n, which brings powerful multimodal AI capabilities to edge devices. 🛠️ Here’s a snapshot of its innovations 🧵

We will soon start seeing non-AI apps leveraging MCP for interoperability across services. MCP is the new OpenAPI.

Proof that there is always a Mathematician watching and takes you seriously whether you like it or not.

How to prove that LLMs will lead to AGI (in 3 easy steps): 1. Prepare a dataset of math knowledge BEFORE 1500 2. Certify it doesn't include any mention to complex numbers 3. Train the model and ask it to find all roots of x^2+1=0 If the concept of complex numbers ever emerges

Mini-conferences hosted inside a main conference - with facilities, ticketing taken care of - is such a good idea! IndiaFOSS is doing this in September, with devrooms for Android, Compilers, Hardware etc. More community conferences should offer this: fossunited.org/indiafoss/2025…

OH: "Because all motion reduces to geometry when you add one time dimension to your space, self-driving is just a drawing problem." 😁

Me: I wonder what DIY keyboard folks are up to. Them: We're scanning our hands to estimate bone length and simulating hands while customize geometry in the browser using a custom CAD engine compiled to WebAssembly.

I'm almost 40 and I only learned about geometric algebra now. OMG, what I've missed! 🤯

It would be cool if they sold a smart TV where the smart part was detachable and could just be swapped out when it gets janky.

Forest Beat Officer Roshni of Paruthipalli Range did not flinch even after seeing this 18-foot long #KingCobra! It was was caught by her from the residential area of ​​Anchumaruthumoot, Peppara, Thiruvananthapuram, #Kerala, after locals bathing in the stream spotted it today.

😁

I wrote a manifesto on how to do good science in AI! Read it below 👇

I'm seeing Directed Acyclic Graphs everywhere. From reactive computing to value ($$) flows to mathematical proofs to skill trees. Obvious in hindsight because any graph, even one with cycles, becomes a DAG once we unroll it in the direction of time or causality.

One of the authors of this paper is literally named "Engineer"??
