Chief Meteorologist @mattdevittweather.bsky.social of WINK News reviews "Weather the Storm," a life-saving #VR simulation we developed and tested at the @ugavr.bsky.social, in collab with @noaa.gov, Clemson University, the National Hurricane Center, Georgia Sea Grant, and South Carolina Sea Grant.
The Quest 3 is the cheapest high-quality headset ever. Are we finally there? Avi Bar-Zeev: It's an impressive device, but I have philosophical issues with it. Meta can afford to sell it cheap because it's subsidized by ad revenue. Even if they're not running ads on the headset yet, the money keeping that division alive comes from ad dollars. I don't think we had to rush into making the cheapest possible headset. The market isn't ready for it.
Turning back to VR for a moment, I appreciate this smart framing of Meta’s headsets—that even if you don’t see ads when you turn them on they should still be considered ad-driven devices, since that’s ultimately what’s paying for all of it (Ali Bar-Zeev interviewed by Gabriele Romagnoli)
Cute, but unless these other countries are willing to spend as much as the US on science, the brain drain will be to other professions (some completely unrelated to science).
If I could name one consistent feature of people who end up having miserly, paranoid, counterproductive politics, it would be this—the attitude that care should flow TOWARD you but not FROM you.

"Marathon" isn't a good metaphor, because marathons are a slog to be endured, and also, marathons end, whereas this is... interminable. But what if, hear me out,...

For the last 3 yrs, I was the director for the Science of Science program at the NSF. We funded projects on science communication - science communication to the public, communication of public priorities to scientists, citizens engagement & participation in science. 🧵
The most important thing for you to know as a software engineer is that if you destroy the computer with a hammer it cannot hurt you anymore
One of the things I think about often is a post I read probably twenty years ago from a math professor who was out walking on his beach with this dog, throwing a ball and watching the dog run out and catch it before it landed.
Here's the article about burrowing owls I was interviewed for. I think it came out really well. 🪶https://www.kpbs.org/news/environment/2025/04/11/imperial-county-is-a-refuge-for-californias-vanishing-burrowing-owls-but-do-they-need-more-protection
I cannot emphasize enough how much I miss street dining and am furious so many outdoor spaces that reduced the risk of Covid-19 were taken away for PARKING SPACES
A green stag stands atop a hill, his antlers fill the top of the page and are filled with plants and birds. In the hill he stands on, a doe leaps over her fawn. Below them two foxes chase a rabbit who waits at the opening of a warren.

I saw advice to buy extra cans of food when you’re at the grocery store to donate to the food bank.
I want to politely nudge you to give the money directly to food banks (or to mutual aid groups if you know of any).
We can usually stretch a dollar farther than a dollar’s worth of canned goods

I have just made the repo of my C++ STL replacement lib public on github. It's called Bedrock.
It's got the usual things, Vector, String, Atomic etc. but also a very good HashMap and few interesting allocators (details on blog: danglingpointers.com/post/bedrock...)

Mucronella flava is a tiny icicle-like fungus. We're looking at the flat surface of a cut-down tree, and covering that dark, wet woody surface is a ton of little yellow teeth hanging downwards. These little yellow teeth are the mushroom itself!
Like tiny yellow icicles, Mucronela flava is a fun little fungus to find. From afar, it just looks like some small yellow crust fungus, but upon close inspection, you'll notice that it's actually a very toothy mushroom! 🦷💛 🍄📷 📸🎞 🌿🌱 🍄 📷 🍄🟫

Glowing blue cosmic cloud looking sort of like a dolphin.
Scary, unsettling times on this world. Meanwhile, 5,000 light years away, this beautiful giant cloud, the Dolphin Nebula, glows, blown by hot winds from a massive star. About 60 light years across, it covers an area about the size of a full moon in our skies. 🧪

I'm putting together a slide illustrating how generative AI is being forced on people even though they don't want it, and this is sort of funny.
Here's are Google's autocomplete suggestions for "google gemini how to", and Bing's autocomplete suggestions for for "microsoft copilot how to".
It took me longer than I hoped to finish but I'm really happy about the outcome: My big picture piece about Musk and Trump visiting Fort Knox. The headline tells you what you need to know but its also a very accurate summary of every step of my argument
