Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 01/10/2026for creating good matplotlib plots, AI/Claude REALLY shines. the amount of fine-tuning I am able to do without looking up the 20 year old APIs that sometimes (not always) are counter-intuitive or just "aged"... it's cool how good looking products one can achieve in less time! 020
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 23/08/2026When you go to Germany, try to find a “Grand Marnier” cake, if possible in German marzipan capital “Lübeck”. The name comes from using the Grand Marnier liquor to soak the base in. 030

Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 17/06/2026I still could cry about how beautiful and motivating big software migrations are these days thanks to AI. This always gets me over the scary hump of migrations! 000

Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 01/05/2026#planetarypy tidbits: When you type "plp spicer Pluto" it will realize it needs the plu60.bsp kernel and fetch it for you before it shows you a small tidbit of info in the terminal: 000
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 30/04/2026#planetarypy (plp) now gives you terminal access to product_id related metadata with a simple "plp meta mro.hirise.edr PSP_00392_0985". Working for 78 registered index files that automatically download with plp as well. 361
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 18/04/2026wow, @anthropic.com projecs are really useless are they? I got 4 pdfs and 2 15 MB html files in this project and that's too much? plus, files created in one chat are not even automatically known by other chats in the same project, and i would have to manually download and then upload them so that 100
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 07/04/2026I increased the time resolution of the HTML plotting file, but it's a balance to strike. increases file size to 86 MB: figshare.com/ndownloader/... Sun behind Moon! 100
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 06/04/2026This feels almost like a chicken race of a flyby. Orion turning towards the approaching Moon. But then missing it. Play with the 3D of the flyby via my interactive HTML file with a Plotly 3d plot from here: figshare.com/ndownloader/... (55 MB dowload). Based on NASA's trajectory data, converted 3238
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 02/04/2026Have you seen the other things archive.org is offering related to it? 100
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 15/02/2026Wow perplexity fails with scientifically researched health information. ;) 040
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 15/02/2026Not claiming they think but there are definitely quality differences. 140
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 15/11/2025Trust me, you don’t need the alpro barista milk for a nice vegan cappuccino. The standard “not milk” (1.5 % fat here) is doing foam just fine. The barista has more sugar in it though, in case you fancy that. 050
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 29/10/2025@quarto.org hi lovely quarto folks! just wanted to let you know you that your dark theme CSS needs some work, code is hard to read on this page:https://quarto.org/docs/journals/authors.html#author-schema 000
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 16/10/2025@howard.fm hi! Brave browser doesn’t like some tracker you seem to use to see how many people click on the solveit link in your email. 000
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 08/07/2025If I’m not missing something one needs a 2 equation system to calculate the amount of descaled when all you are given is the recommended ratio with water and a target overall volume? I was surprised initially, thought it can be done with the rule of three. See, maths IS good for everyday stuff. 010
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 05/07/2025You saw it here first! Working on a public release, a colleague will talk about this and heliophysics Python library at #scipy2025 so I quickly needed to finish our initial logo draft. It’s a cool 1950 Sci-fi look, isn’t it? 010
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 28/05/2025Another win for #homeassistant: regular internet speed tests. 000
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 16/05/2025The fuck? I don’t see an obvious move for black. 100
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 18/04/2025Miniaturization never ceases to amaze me. This little thing is a complete computer capable of HDMI connection and WiFi. It will serve as my remote 3d printer control named OctoPi. I previously had the original Raspberry Pi but its specs aren’t sufficient anymore for the OctoPi server. 040
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 14/04/2025@vscode.dev so, trying out GH copilot, your docs say I should be able, in the free version, to change the model provider. but the list popping up with the command palette only shows 4o, and the chat even claims integration with other LLMs is not supported? 000
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 04/04/2025The way Georgian kitchen is combining cheese and bread in several dishes is just heaven on Earth. This one is called Adjarian Khachapuri. The bread is being dismantled from the side to fish out molten cheese with egg! 010

Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 13/01/2025The effect of one sunny day on our weatherstation‘s battery. It was very gloomy here in recent weeks. 000
Michael Aye @michael.planetarypy.space · 27/12/2024The advantage of buying good stuff is that most likely you can still repair them after ten years with parts that fit well. Like my 10 years old ATH M50x studio headphones. 000
