There's some super neat radio astronomy work being done in Canada, complementing CHIME. This is CHORD: Canadian Hydrogen Observatory and Radio-transient Detector. 512 x 6m dishes with two outlier stations (64 dishes each). arxiv.org/abs/2607.09374 #RadioAstronomy 📡🔭

the CHIME telescope (left, looks like half-barrell pipes) and the CHORD telescope, under construction. Some of the CHORD dishes are being installed.

Well, that's not terribly enlightening. I chalk it up to the questions being heavily US-centric. Fun though!

If you have even a passing interest in mathematics as a field, I cannot recommend this piece enough. Yes, it's about AI, but just as it says on the label, it is also also about the political economy of how mathematics is done and why, at a moment where that model is being threatened.

Yeah I don't know how to post properly so from here on out my bsky is just going to be internet pictures that I can't put in the family group chat.

A two-dimensional plot entitled "the mood meter"; axes are "high energy - low energy" and "unpleasant-pleasant". Regions specifically labelled are "mom would be sad" (lowest energy and pleasantness), "it's so over" (low energy and pleasantness), "it is what it is" (medium energy and pleasantness), "we are so fucking back" (high energy and pleasantness), "let's fucking gooooooo" (highest energy and pleasantness), "we vibing" (pleasant and low-energy) and "fuck it we ball" (high energy low pleasantness). P.S. please let me know if this alt text was longer than is useful, I'm not sure how far to take it.

Completely forgot to post this week's Disk Cleanup, which is very silly of me because it was with Dwarf Fortress cocreator Tarn Adams. We talked about his current obsession with terraforming games, and losing yourself to the wonders of Factorio.

Tarn Adams, co-creator of Dwarf Fortress, has over 1,400 hours in Factorio and is currently obsessed with terraforming games: 'Dwarf Fortress just doesn't accommodate a full-on sci-fi thing'

Unexpected side effect of working from home: I now have an Appointment Shirt. It is the Nice Shirt I wear for Appointments. Any other time I leave the house, it's jeans and one of a set of nigh-identical T-shirts, so the Appointment Shirt has become very emotionally important to me.

I think about this LeGuin essay a lot. (link in next post; you should read it too.)

Its technology is how a society copes with physical reality: how people get and keep and cook food, how they clothe themselves, what their power sources are (animal? human? water? wind? electricity? other?) what they build with and what they build, their medicine — and so on and on. Perhaps very ethereal people aren’t interested in these mundane, bodily matters, but I’m fascinated by them, and I think most of my readers are too.

Technology is the active human interface with the material world.

But the word is consistently misused to mean only the enormously complex and specialised technologies of the past few decades, supported by massive exploitation both of natural and human resources.

This is not an acceptable use of the word. “Technology” and “hi tech” are not synonymous, and a technology that isn't “hi,” isn’t necessarily '“low” in any meaningful sense.

We have been so desensitized by a hundred and fifty years of ceaselessly expanding technical prowess that we think nothing less complex and showy than a computer or a jet bomber deserves to be called “technology” at all. As if linen were the same thing as flax — as if paper, ink, wheels, knives, clocks, chairs, aspirin pills, were natural objects, born with us like our teeth and fingers — as if steel saucepans with copper bottoms and fleece vests spun from recycled glass grew on trees, and we just picked them when they were ripe...

One way to illustrate that most technologies are, in fact, pretty “hi,” is to ask yourself of any manmade object, Do I know how to make one?
