Simeon Schmauß @stim3on.bsky.social · 13hI'm not convinced that damaging three datacenters would have such a stark effect on a collection of social media bots/trolls that might very well be operated more decentralized. The impact on the Yandex (web crawler) bot traffic seams real, but that's not tracking any social media bot activity. 020
Simeon Schmauß @stim3on.bsky.social · 13hI'd love this to be true as well, it's looking rather weak facutally - no sources, no explanation of the metric, etc... also a very convenient looking graph when real data is usually very messy. 120

Simeon Schmauß @stim3on.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I just noticed that this program is already completed and limited to 15 epochs in total, have you seen whether there is any follow ups to that program or are the 8 remaining slices all we will get on these targets? 110
Reposted by Simeon SchmaußYuval Harpaz 𝚿👨🎓 📊🌌🔭 @yuvharpaz.bsky.social · 08/10/2026So it is somewhat appropriate that for an astronomical-scale MRI we use NIfTI files and a 3D viewer. We already have 7 slices of Maki, Greebo and Luna, and there are more to come. So this is what we got so far for Cas A light echo by JWST 🔭. NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI. more credits in the page below. 5206
Simeon Schmauß @stim3on.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I also tested importing the Luna volume into blender as a .vdb and rendering it as an emmissive volume with a pseudocolor. This was a cool way to view the data, so thanks for making it available! 232
Simeon Schmauß @stim3on.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Thanks for the tip with MRIcron, that worked indeed. After some more tinkering in python I think I narrowed it down to the shear component of the affine transformation which isn't supported by SimpleITK which is used by 3DSlicer. After removing that and saving as .nnrd I was able to read it there. 100
Simeon Schmauß @stim3on.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Unfortunately 3DSlicer failed to open your .nii file I suspect there is a problem with your file (or it's too large?) since other .nii files seem to work. The log isn't very helpful, but perhaps you can make more of it. pastebin.com/1rX7tTB9pastebin.com3DSlicer luna.nii.gz error log - Pastebin.comPastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time. 100
Simeon Schmauß @stim3on.bsky.social · 08/10/2026From a glance it doesn't seem like it's an option with niivue. I'll take a look a the data locally, I've played with 3DSlicer in the past, are there any other free programs you can recommend? 100
Simeon Schmauß @stim3on.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Do you know if it's possible to get a perspective camera view versus the orthographic rendering? I think perspective would make it easier to zoom in and understand the shape, the depth is a bit confusing with orthographic view for such a thin object. 100
Simeon Schmauß @stim3on.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I hope this JWST programme will keep running for a lot longer, this is already impressive but I can't imagine how it will be if we can get ten times as many slices as this! 120

Simeon Schmauß @stim3on.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Those are indeed used to steer the capsule to the target splashdown point, but they are all pre-planned and executed by the flight controller. I believe the computer only changes the magnitude of the manouvers as needed to fly to the target point. 130

Simeon Schmauß @stim3on.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I also reversed the SuperView effect that was distorting the horizon in the video. More details below from my last Artemis project: 1240
Simeon Schmauß @stim3on.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The audio was really noisy in the original video files, likely affected by electronic interference. The camera also applied automatic gain to the audio, so the noise was very amplified in quiet phases. I managed to undo that automatic gain and clean up the noise with a mix of python and Audacity. 1221
Simeon Schmauß @stim3on.bsky.social · 07/10/2026You can hear fequent clanking sounds from the RCS thrusters activating. The thruster plumes also interact with the air, causing rapid changes in the plasma tail. The camera is mounted directly to the window, so those noises are picked up very well and probably louder than what the astronauts heard. 1342
