If I had a nickel for every time someone accidentally replied to the entire 1800+ person listserv with a personal email, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but its weird that it happened TWICE IN THE SAME DAY!?

It’s a great book, but sort of idiosyncratic in its approach to general relativity. Maybe not the best place to learn the subject but a worthwhile read. On the other hand, does your favorite GR textbook tackle the really big questions like “Is Middle Earth flat?” (18/n)

I want to give just the biggest kudos to Kelsey Young, the Artemis II science officer. She did a phenomenal job today of communicating clearly and joyously and it was honestly orders of magnitude more distracting than I thought it would be to have on.

Hey #astrosci scientists, has anyone included a "I did not use AI" disclosure in one of their recent papers? I would like include one in an upcoming work, so I want to see if there is already a standard.

Jake Postiglione @jakepost.tech · 18/03/2026

Nvidia CEO: “because they’re wrong” What a tone deaf and ignorant response. I don’t want generative “AI” to touch the media I consume. A game developer using image generation for textures is the same thing as using “DLSS 5” and I won’t buy games that use the technology.

As someone who consistently grows lettuce from seed, I didn't know the daisy thing, but good heavens, the conditions are always right for lettuce to decide they don't want to be lettuce anymore, & just wanna be pretty, bitter flowers instead.

Jake Postiglione @jakepost.tech · 13/01/2026

TIL lettuce is part of the daisy family and grows a stem with flowers if the conditions are right.
