Scientists shocked by a dramatic lack of Antarctic sea ice: “If…this is a functional collapse of the system, that means we need to reappraise our sea level projections…As scientists we have a real responsibility not to mess this up.” @readfearn https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/29/something-weird-is-going-on-search-for-answers-as-antarctic-sea-ice-stays-at-historic-lows #climatechange #climate

gamutRF - very cool orchestrated RF speed scanner and collector. Scales with any number of SDR's and x86 or ARM devices, together comprising a compact network.

How fast? 3x Pi's and 3x USRPs will sweep 6GHz in 7 seconds.

Includes spectrogram output tool and a pipeline for translating raw recordings into gnuradio format. It sports two little APIs, one for scanner updates, the other for scanning control:

btw if if you want to understand why #Blizzard shipped a halfass game, read this WaPo article from December. Basically the #Diablo4 dev leads were indecisive for years, then they got fired for sexual harassment, half the team quit, and the new studio they merged in had never done an ARPG before, then execs said "you need to launch before we merge with MSFT, so crunch for two years during COVID"

And it worked! We all just gave them $700M+ to pay themselves bonuses with.

Apple has announced plans to require developers to submit reasons to use certain APIs in their apps starting later this year with the release of iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS Sonoma, tvOS 17, and watchOS 10 to prevent their abuse for data collection. https://thehackernews.com/2023/07/apple-sets-new-rules-for-developers-to.html

Twitter was able to change the logo of their iOS app but not the name, since Apple requires app names to be at least 2 characters.

They’re also still referring to the app as Twitter in the update notes (via

Nearly every material, whether it is solid, liquid, or gas, expands when its temperature goes up and contracts when its temperature goes down.

There are a few exceptions, but by and large, materials conform strictly to this principle. There is, however, a class of metal alloys called Invars (think invariable), that stubbornly refuse to change in size and density over a large range of temperatures.

For over 100 years, the source of this unique property has remained a mystery, but now, researchers have finally discovered the mechanism that causes Invars to behave the way that they do.

It's my latest for work.

🎉 #GitHub Next is hiring! A rare opportunity to join a small but mighty team. 100% kind, thoughtful, and smart humans whose mission it is to improve software development, for all developers (and future developers!) You may know us from such efforts as Copilot and CopilotX, though we do not limit ourselves to research on AI things. It's just another tool in the toolbox.

https://boards.greenhouse.io/github/jobs/5142434

Please boost for reach! We're a team that has the agency of a startup, the resources of a GitHub, and broad latitude to define what we investigate. It's my dream job. Maybe it's yours? ❤️✌️

And I caught Microsoft at doing this nasty thing again.

First time I noticed Microsoft doing this on Microsoft Designer website: https://collar.place/@Sominemo/110275107838229822

Ummmm...

The only X I really care about.

apparently twitter has a new logo that is like the X11 logo

imagine given up (whatever small) brand recognition twitter has for... X.

twitter has managed to get people to use "tweet" and "tweeting" as nouns and verbs.

"Yo dawg, just X me the deets"

Apropos of everything, I assume Xitter is pronounced "shitter."

In 2000, Elon Musk tried to rebrand PayPal as X.com, but was forced out by the board and replaced as CEO by Peter Thiel.

Now he’s doing the same to Twitter, but is surrounded by sycophants who can’t tell him it’s a bad idea.

DUNGEONS OF EKILEUGOR is a roguelike game for the VIC-20 running in a VIC-20 emulator for DOS, running in a DOSBOX emulator in the browser.

That's a lot to take in.
