Hey board game friendos, I made a thing! I'm teaching myself machine learning by training a neural network how to play Welcome to the Dungeon (or rather a legally-distinct clone so I don't get sued). focusdisorder.com/projects/dun...

Sometimes it's fun to go back to old #astrophotography data with new tricks. There was so much color hiding in Rho Ophiuchi that my previous processing attempts missed. Best picture I've ever taken and it continues to give. 📷🔭

Astrophotography is really great if you grew up on early computers and miss clicking a button and waiting on an INCREDIBLY long process, often with no progress bar.

Pictured: A permanent ban from all of Reddit. "Harassment" they say. I think the Reddit admins need a fucking dictionary.
It's stochastic terrorism, and the fact that it's not illegal means the laws are broken.

Edit: cool, all the lawyers are compromised and untrustworthy. This treasonous violent madman's reign cannot be settled through the courts. Noted.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Meet our newest patient here at the Alaska Raptor Center, a Northern Pygmy Owl named King Owlbert by his rescuers. Owlbert arrived with a drooping wing, making flight difficult. We’ve given him a supportive wing wrap, plenty of tasty mice, and time to heal. #small #owls #adorable

Hey parents, are you in the market for a school with integrity? Pick the school in your district with the highest number of books in their library that these dickweeds want to ban and send your kids there. Nice of them to give us this resource.

3 more nights worth of data added, and you can really start to see the clouds now! #Astrophotography is definitely a hobby for patient people. Super grainy, I didn't have the SNR to actually stretch it this far but I really wanted to see the clouds. 🔭📷

Apparently #owloween is a thing, so here are some shots of the time a friend leaned against a dead tree and a Northern Saw-Whet Owl angrily informed us that this log was occupied.

I live in an incredibly light polluted place and got into a habit of only doing #astrophotography when I traveled to dark sites - but I started here with worse equipment and fewer skills so... Returning to my roots. Orion Nebula, M42. 3 entire nights of data under Bortle 9+ skies. 🔭📷

We had aurora borealis about a month ago... in Las freaking Vegas. Absurdly far south for Aurora! Barely visible to the naked eye but long exposure photos of it looked damn pretty.

Haven't been on here in a while, looks like things are finally kicking off! To the newcomers, I gift some of the best pictures I've ever taken: 📷🪶 This Northern Saw-whet Owl got spooked out of its hollow log and absolutely posed for me. Such a great encounter!
Northern saw whet owl in a tree, looking over its shoulder Northern saw whet owl in a tree, glaring at the interloper that awakened it from its nap Northern saw whet owl after returning to its hollow log. It watched me for several minutes. Northern saw whet owl trying to choose between a nap and keeping an eye on the interloper. Nap always wins.

Today's #astrophotography image, the Wizard Nebula from 8/14/24. It was the 2nd time I imaged and processed stars separately. I love how this nebula has a wizard's conical hat, a star eye, a pointy nose, and a glowing spell emitted from the mouth. But the 5-fingered gesturing hand is the best!
