Sometimes I get a big whack of that pain of what could have been. And then I think maybe one day we'll have it again. Then I think about here and if you ever saw it. Then I feel ridiculous, but I know you won't see it. Which is why I can tell you I love you to SgrA*

Yeah, this has all the shades of Google v1.0s offer to Newspapers, followed a few years later by Facebooks offer to Newspapers… rinse & repeat.

I’d fully expect savvy AI orgs to monitor content trends & monetise them internally.

The only unknown for me atm is the role of in context advertising.

... and Dwarf Fortress too, which manages to generate incredibly compelling stories from people who play it bsky.app/profile/sgra...
Hmm, yeah, great line and he’s not wrong about the situation he’s describing, but it’s important to distinguish between ProcGen used well vs. poorly.

Everything he says he likes can be found in say, Dwarf Fortress, *the* iconic ProcGen game, that’s done well because the Devs care about it.

Trying something new: #JWST MIRI IFU (spectroscopy and image in one) of the galactic center. On the right are three emission lines of various elements.

it's going very well, though...

So, that Discord data breach? The headlines *should* have focused on the Age Verification angle.

It affected a 3rd party service Discord uses for Age Verification appeals.

It took 3 months from the start of the UKs OSA age checks for the first known data leak.

I recall that the core game didn't have SGRA at launch, which really ticked off gaymers since it was a BioWare game. Many left after their initial 30-day sub lapsed (The LGBT guild I was in collapsed). EA's excuse was that it was delayed due to time constraints but would appear "in the future." 🙄

Sadly, it wasn't always that way. When the core game went live, there were no SGRA's (Same-Gender Romance Arcs). BioWare took heat over that, claiming SGRA content was cut due to 'development time constraints' but the excuse ran hollow.

Before "Shadow of Revan," it was rough being a SWTOR gaymer.

So it turns out I'm misinformed and that home ISPs already have this filtering! So really, I have no idea what the point of the OSA is bsky.app/profile/sgra...
It also already exists on all major ISP connections to homes. It’s on by default.

Cameron’s government implemented that with most of the same content restrictions.

And guess what, the majority of adults turned it off.

There’s def. a real person with that name, and they most certainly own the account in question, but that doesn’t mean it’s not been automated.

Not sure if you can see the short thread given I was blocked, but the replies all seemed very odd:

This seems to place the BBC in an awkward position.

Before now they’ve run numerous, mostly inaccurate hit pieces on Gen AI & news e.g. claiming it *can’t* accurately summarise articles, complaining to Apple about inaccurate AI descriptions of BBC articles.

How will the BBC handle a BBC AI error?

Next: Stacey Bright, STScI Deputy Project Scientist for JWST

Observatory operations and efficiency are continuing to improve.

Planning tools, pipeline, and calibration reference file updates help to do things like avoid "claws" from scattered light from bright objects and correct for 1/f noise.
