Beyond Point Masses. V. Weywot's Non-Keplerian Orbit
We present a detailed dynamical analysis of the Quaoar-Weywot system based on nearly 20 years of high-precision astrometric data, including new HST observations and stellar occultations. Our study rev...

What about other planets? We applied state of the art techniques to evaluate the presence of any additional signal in the data, finding nothing. In fact, we could establish that no planets with m sin i larger than 2-20 Me (depending on period) are present in the system. #exoplanets 🔭

I will say it doesn’t really seem like much of us are doing full blown feature work with it. Most the horror stories I hear of that level of usage are from product/sales people trying to get a team to adapt their features they “built” with AI into the production apps.

Thinking about it, I suppose that'd be the first time I really like a non-human premise of a story, then get turned off by how unenjoyable the humans in said story are. Weird that it happened twice.

I assume those cool black armors are no longer "cool"?

I remember reading about its premise and really liked how various different physical processes in that universe tends to give rise to life and intelligence. Then I read how humanity was in it and decided I probably should just try writing my own take on it instead.

Hope isn't enough. Boycott Microsoft, Amazon, EA, Activision, Facebook, Meta, anyone using AI. Support companies that employ humans and pay good wages. Buy from Indies wherever possible and give money directly to creators. Vote for progressive policies. There is no other way out of this mess.
