The Engineer who invented the Mars Rover Suspension...in his garage YouTube video by GearSkeptic

Fantastic documentary of the development of the rocker bogie suspension used on several Mars rovers:

We invaded France and no one will sell us a croissant. It’s very hard on the men.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

I consistently get a ~10% like rate on Instagram too (for my bird photography).

if they are willing to murder US citizens in broad daylight with cameras on them imagine what they're doing to immigrants in private

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Thanks for the map!!

@climatologist49.bsky.social I'm seeing some wild forecasts for 8+ inches of snow here in NC this weekend. Can I get your professional opinion? 🙂

do things still exist on the internet

enclose.horse A puzzle game about enclosing horses.

Fun new puzzle game! Learned about it a couple days ago and I'm kind of obsessed with it now.

*honk* if you love nuthatches #birds

@matt.godbolt.org I was surprised to see you here on @tomvii.bsky.social 's video! Your clap synchronization needs work! haha

> I had Claude Code do the rest of the investigation

I guess this is where we are as a society now.

That next_opcode pattern is neat!

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Here's an example of what I was getting with my 3D automata. Not great but not terrible, ha. I just learned the HC Laplacian smoothing trick from your article - that's good to have in my toolbox! Generating my mesh with SDFs.

four radiolaria sculptures sitting on a black surface

Radiolaria are microscopic unicellular sea creatures that create skeletons from silica. Their skeletons are among the most beautiful and complex natural microstructures, resembling elaborate filigree. blog post: n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/blog/?p=9861

I *love* this project! No joke, I was just thinking of generating radiolarian-inspired meshes of my own. I played around a little with some 3D cellular automata on an FCC lattice but wasn't loving those results. Might have to try some other things!

I’m here for the Janet and Becky book collab

Looks like a fun challenge but seems like everything I could possibly try has already been done! Not thinking of any way to differentiate myself yet…

The Prospero Challenge Evaluate a 7866-clause math expression for fame and glory

@matt.godbolt.org have you seen @mattkeeter.com 's "Prospero Challenge"? Several folks used compiler optimization techniques on it so I thought you'd be interested!

His presentation here gives more context and is worth a watch!

Howdy old friend… loving this series already!

I feel so honored 🥰

I do the same sorts of things. Love the vignette, I'm stealing that idea!

I love it, actually. That you went through the effort to do it manually. Nice attention to detail!

What’d you use to generate this image?

Where did you get the Native American story in the alt text? I’ve read similar stories about other birds and would like to read even more!

Where the Yellow-rumped Warblers are observed. Each frame is one week of the year. #birds #gif

There's a hot pixel in the north of Iceland that caught my eye. It's near a town called Húsavík. I wondered what was going on there. Turns out it's just this ONE GUY who lives there and submits eBird checklists all the time, lol.

You, too, can be an outlier if you try.
