not my place to criticize people's job decisions. but making inference (especially of large models) more efficient seems one of the biggest ROI projects right now in reducing AI power consumption, which is the main *concrete* worry about data center proliferation

first that comes to mind is Captain Blood (1988), an extremely french sci-fi horror adventure i didn't understand it at all at that age, so i just kept randomly blowing up planets and lose, lol, but its specific strangeness fascinated me and made that i remember it fondly to this day

Many people are afraid of imposing structures that they don't know anything about. Cell towers, data centers, power plants, etc. One solution that I'm thinking about is to put an informative plaque at the entrance or the base of such constructs, that says what it does and how it works.

Aurora over Raisting Earth Station with Moon - From Simeon Schmauß (stim3on.bsky.social) - flic.kr/p/2pQoiDV
What a crazy night, we went into it not expecting much since the solar storm was forecast for after sunrise in central Europe. 
However, before the sun had even set, I got the alert that the first CME had impacted Earth, so the chances immediately looked a lot better. What then unfolded surpassed even our wildest expectations.
We ended up driving to this satellite ground station south of Ammersee in southern Bavaria and just when we arrived we spotted the first diffuse pillars north of us. 
We experienced three waves of incredibly strong Aurora, especially for our rather Southern latitude. During the second wave we saw individual pulsating filaments dancing over our heads. What a breathtaking experience! 

Many thanks to Christopher for accompanying me on this adventure, Max for being an all round great guy, and Sebastian who lent me his wide angle lenses that made these shots possible.

has anyone had success with giving their LLM harness access to something else to interface with the OS instead of 'bash'? i'd prefer some stricter, typed language that signals mistakes early. but it still has to work in a REPL context and not be too verbose

Venus - Akatsuki - From Aster Cowart (terrasabaea.bsky.social) - flic.kr/p/DUVaRB
Venus as seen by Japan's Akatsuki space probe on September 5, 2016. At the time this photo was taken, Akatsuki was located approximately 60,000 km above the Venusian cloud tops. 

This image was assembled using near-UV and near-IR photos to create a pseudo-true color view. My procedure for creating this image exaggerates the coloration and detail visible in the clouds, which show very little detail in the visible portion of the spectrum. 

This photo has been further enhanced by showing the cloud patterns on the night side using an infrared image at 2.26 μm. This portion of the image uses a relative colormap to highlight some of the variation present.

At 2.26μm, Venus' clouds are partially transparent, allowing heat from the lower portions of the atmosphere to radiate into space. Dark regions in this part of the image are, in effect, shadows of clouds in the upper atmosphere near the same level as the visible clouds.
