Sometimes the path you take to fix something is to just do it yourself. I was having trouble getting a library to properly retrieve information from Twitch so I said eff it, I'll do it myself. Had it done in 10 minutes...

I finally completed my recent capture of galaxies M81 & M82 more commonly known as Bode’s Galaxy & the Cigar Galaxy. I captured two versions showing just full color (RGB) as well as the Hydrogen alpha signal combined with full color (HaRGB).

Don't copy that floppy. You wouldn't steal a car. Well, unless that car was being used to train an LLM. Then, I guess it's fine. But only if it's training our LLM, not if it's training your personal LLM, you thief.

TIL that when migrating a Mysql database you have to care about the encoding on the source and destination databases AND the connections when dumping/importing the data.

Conditions didn't live up to the forecast tonight so I could really test out this planetary setup, but I figured we could all use a pallet cleanser in our doom feeds.

So here is Io and Europa flanking Jupiter, and then Mare Nectaris where the JAXA SLIM mission landed!

Presenting here the California Nebula. This was 22 hours of data and I used some new techniques like creating a synthetic luminance for detail. I think it turned out great! The patreon has the full resolution image if you'd like to support me: www.patreon.com/ninjagloppy

So last night while doing some #astronomy image editing, I discovered that the Owl Nebula has a bubble of Oxygen III around it. 24 hours of integration time in SHO (10 hours of OIII).

G4 AURORA ALERT AFTER SUNSET IN NORTH AMERICA!

1) Sunday there was a X1.9 CME that seems destine for at least a glancing blow to Earth. Normally it would be days out, but with the help of a coronal hole facing Earth over the weekend it seems to moving at blistering speeds of 1400kms.

It’s a section that appears on my syllabi. Here’s the version from an intro physics class this past semester.
Should I Use ChatGPT Or Another LLM To Study? I wouldn't recommend it. I try to keep up with the capabilities of the major LLMs. They can do some things really well, if you use them the right way. However, they frequently make mistakes when generating responses to questions about physics. Sometimes these mistakes are obvious, sometimes they are subtle and hard to spot. The fact that you cannot trust the output of LLMs should be reason enough not to rely on these systems when you are trying to learn a new subject. But that's not the only problem. Interactions with LLMs feel like a dialog, so it's natural to think the usual rules of conversation apply. You ask a question and expect the response will be an answer to that question. It's important to understand that this is not what's happening. An LLM is designed to generate statistically likely responses to the question "What would an answer to this query sound like?" This is not the same thing as answering the question. It might produce what you are looking for, or it might not. This is one reason why output from an LLM will sound authoritative even when it's wrong, and apologetic when mistakes are pointed out. It isn't authoritative or apologetic, and it isn't "thinking" about your question. These are just the sorts of responses that best fit a very complicated set of likelihood criteria…

Who needs to pay for AI slop when you can generate it on your own computer?

The real value of the Steam Deck and Steam Machine is the ability to buy a single game and both play and continue it across your PC, TV, and on-the-go.

Microsoft has Play Anywhere but never put the effort in to championing it and didn't have a mobile solution until recently.

Last night on stream we captured 3.5 hours of data on the Pleiades using a wide field refractor. I am planning to put more time into this one to get as much surrounding dust as I can, but I don't expect much due to bortle 8/9 skies.

This is my latest photo of the Andromeda Galaxy using the #Askar FMA135 telescope with a #ZWO ASI 585MC camera. Filter used was the #optolong L-Quad Enhance from Bortle 8 skies. This was 24 hours and shows that even in light pollution you image!

Last month 30+ Twitch streamers came together to signal boost the endangered vaquita porpoise.

Together we raised over $14,000 to help save them!

These streams also generated 10,000+ watch hours during which MANY people learned about the vaquita for the first time!

Painting of a girl surrounded by larger than life cetaceans including a narwhal, beluga, fin whale, humpback whale, orca, Russo's dolphin, spotted dolphin, and a vaquita porpoise. The environment is blue and rocks tilt away from the center of the scene where the girl glows magically. A ribbon of red encircles the figure and casts a warm light.
