Often see red kites circling over our garden in Milton Keynes. So I put a camera and a piece of chicken on the roof of my cabin.. it didn’t take long.. 😎

I've spent the last few months designing and refining this... a 3D printed smartwatch based on a $25 ESP32 board with touchscreen. Comes with 6 cases, 12 watch faces and 2 strap designs. Is also fully customisable. Launching soon on Makerworld! #bambulab

Total nostalgia trip this week! This is my take on a classic of close-up magic, the dice change illusion. This is my entry for the Makerworld 3D Printed Magic Trick design contest. 🎩 makerworld.com/en/models/1367… youtu.be/Zu0fvTeEKxQ

If you happen to be on Makerworld, this is my design of a Bagnold Solar Compass, and it's my entry into the current Hiking Gadget design contest. I also built an app to go with it to work out the azimuth tables for anywhere and any time on Earth. 🤓 makerworld.com/en/models/13...

Saw this done a few months ago and was completely wowed, was a significant factor in investing in a new 3D printer! This is a CMYK lithophane, printed with 4 filaments.. which then does this when lit from behind. 🤩 @bambulabglobal.bsky.social

Quite likely the most insanely complex model I’ve ever 3D printed. The ‘revolver’ fidget gears by Graham Watson (@GmanProjects on YT) One piece print in place, came out perfectly on the #Bambulab P1S 🤩 @bambulabglobal.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/dJTt74x…

Amazing work. The authors identify 10 categories (image below) and then leverage LLMs to map the actual withdraw reason to these categories #metaresearch

Genuinely love this abstract. Best research contribution ever.👌 Everyone else: We proved that Tetris with larger k-onimo pieces is NP-complete! Unnamed researcher: I thought my Tetris font was really cool.

Ok. That was mildly satisfying 🤓

Saw this puzzle on YT. So I stopped watching the video… And I made one. Nooo idea what to do next. I’ll get right back to you 👍 😁

A story that begins with a corpse on the floor is a mystery. A story that ends with a corpse on the floor is a tragedy. A story that begins with a floor on a corpse is The Wizard of Oz.

The citation black market: schemes selling fake references alarm scientists
The ways in which researchers can artificially inflate their reference counts are growing.

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes
A TNG scene. We're in the Enterprise conference room, where Picard is holding a meeting with Data, Troi, and Dr Crusher. Barclay is also there, for unknown reasons. Maybe he wandered into the meeting and just sat down, and everyone was too polite to mention it. That happened to me once. I was visiting an office location I didn't normally go to and I wasn't quite sure which conference room I was supposed to be in. I walked into one and sat down and it took me five minutes to realize I was in the wrong meeting. From the perspective of the people in that room, halfway through that meeting, a stranger walked in, sat next to the boss, took notes for five minutes, then walked out without saying a word.

Joined here several months ago and it was all quiet until last week when several folks followed me. ❤️ This place looks like the other place used to look like before the enshitification took hold. Long may it last. 👌
