Drafted up what the equivalent of ATproto could look like for sensor data like waveform streams and historical lookup. Curious what researchers out there think of this. @bmann.ca @ronentk.me gist.github.com/crockpotvegg...

Computational Fluid Dynamics #CFD and 3D design improvements with GPT6 Astra. This is wild for engineering. I never thought we would be here so quickly.

Well I guess if you give Astra a couple days things just reach a whole new level. Here's the Gastown (and soon rest of downtown) Vancouver recreation in Godot. It even recreated the interior for Lee's Donuts. #ChatGPT #GPT6

Wanted to see what all the hype was about with GPT6 Astra. Created a walkable recreation of Gastown in Vancouver in just over an hour in Godot.

German Air Force Luftwaffe A319 coming in to YVR. @petervogel.bsky.social have any details on this one? Looks like either a VIP transport or a special mission.

@petervogel.bsky.social is your ADS-B picking up any military aircraft circling the north shore? Definitely observing some kind of jet around the north shore mountains not showing up in the usual FlightRadar24. Probably for the World Cup

While the hantavirus risk looks mostly contained, the most recent Ebola outbreak appears to be worse than original estimates. Doctors and epidemiologists suspect it has spread to new areas not currently being tracked. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The agent I've been working on has been gaining new capabilities every day. Here it's pulled 10 ensemble members and plotted precipitation forecast for the next ten days, and deliver it every morning. @ensembleator.bsky.social how did it do?

I was surprised to see my personal agent built on Qwen3.6 having the capability to interpret lightning maps and accurately describe the direction of movement of the storm. This model must have been trained on a lot of mapping data.

A very friendly American Goldfinch visited the bird feeder this morning. Nice to see them returning again this year. Also a little experiment had Gemini process the image to get better focus but maybe it’s a stretch?

There’s definitely something funny going on with Claude usage. All it took was a couple of code reviews and I’m hitting usage limits on a MAX plan. Something smells very bad. 👃 Anyone else running into this?

This is the best video I’ve seen yet of last night’s #meteor ☄️ clearly showing a moving and growing fireball with two bright flashes. How cool to have heard🦻 such an event! Does anyone know where this was taken? Interested to find the original location and which direction the camera was facing.

Sonic boom at around 9:11pm local time was strong enough to create a spike on the seismometer in Maple Ridge. If it was a meteor it was a big one!

Reports all over the lower mainland of a bright flash followed by a very large boom a minute later. Did you hear it? If it was a meteor it must have been on the scale of the Chelyabinsk Event.

Quite the upset for Canada Olympic Hockey 🏒 good game though, team looked strong. Overall for 2026 games though not the best showing for the country. One less gold medal than 2022 but total medal count trending to the lowest since 2002. A good time to reflect and rebuild.

Over the last 5 months I dedicated myself to learning, and I got a lot more than I bargained for. Not only received my medic license, but I’ve also managed to learn the basics of chip design & architecture. I made this prototype AI compute tile/core…open source tools really changed the game 🤖🦾

Can someone explain to me what Bezos is smoking? Or if I’m missing a breakthrough in physics? The tiny computers on the ISS require radiators the size of school buses to cool them. Where the heck is a GIGAWATT of heat going from these orbital data centers?
