Alright, now that the video has premiered I can unveil the main feature: a scatter plot of familiar objects with their luminance / magnitude / angular diameter! I also published this on Wikimedia Commons.

ChatGPT and stellar magnitude ... Yes, I promise there's a thread that ties those two topics together! 😝 And his name is "Flat Earth Dave" Scheduled for a premiere about 12 hours from now, at 3pm Eastern Time: Given how the topic of AI went on this thread, I'm sure @Retro (and perhaps...

Today I add a new video to an old series of mine “Watch Me Draw,” they’re basically drawing timelapse videos—but this is my first one since joining NerdZone! 🥳 It’s a double portrait of a YouTuber Ryan Trahan and his wife Haley, commemorating a road trip series they’re doing “50 states in 50...

Tbh I barely even look at the user info there, I glance to recognize profile pic and username and move on. I hadn’t even noticed my own custom title! 😝 I wonder if there’s any formal concept behind what a “custom title” is supposed to be? Or is it just an arbitrary micro-outlet for self expression?

lol All your comparisons / examples are from Java … The most experience I have with Java is using Minecraft command blocks 😂🤪 I guess that explains why the Python “lists” thing is more weird to me than it is to you Have you ever used a command line interface? If you can get comfortable...

Lol Well tbf I do not believe that AI or robots should or ever will have anything like human rights. “Mistreatment” of an AI is probably the least of my concerns. Although you certainly could make an argument that it says something about human nature if corporate bigshots crave having something...

Ah, I actually really like Bash My favorites would have to be either C, PHP, or JavaScript because those are my most familiar. Sorta depends on my mood or the situation, if I need precision or complexity then I prefer C but if it’s more heavily text processing or UI-focused then PHP or...

Here’s a Tom Scott video I found to be insightful, where he mentioned how new technologies that change the world sort of follow a sigmoid curve: Yes, AI is replacing some jobs, but as I mentioned in this post on a similar topic I don’t feel very concerned about the long-term future. The short...
