It's worth repeating: the @NWS costs each American taxpayer just $4/yr, but creates over $100,000,000,000 in value to the economy. And this ROI has been _increasing_ over time. See the linked report coordinated and supported by the @AMSPolicy program. ametsoc.org/index.cfm/ams/…
Apple TV really knows what they're doing - wrapping Murderbot on the same day that Foundation S3 releases? Good stuff!
Wtf chuck mangione and hulk hogan die on the same day there is a global starlink outage?
Big day for Python tooling enjoyers: @modal_labs finally has first-class uv support! Use: • `uv_sync` to sync your Modal image with your local project • `uv_pip_install` to install packages lightning fast⚡️

Ever since I was a little boy I've dreamt of AI-powered automation that removes the administrative delays that cost teams time and trust, and I've wished to hear how enterprises are using tech to improve compliance, supercharge document workflows, and maximize their tech stack
"Iron Rain" sounds like a thrash metal cover of Purple Rain and I'm all for it
Iron rain and a polar orbit already meant WASP-121b was an unusual exoplanet. But new research suggests it might be even weirder than researchers thought. eos.org/articles/this-…
Hey @Waymo friends, I'm flying into SFO next week, what's the easiest way to pick up a Waymo into the city from the airport these days?

What's that? You can just run a 500 member AIFS ensemble on your H100 spot instance for giggles? What else were you going to do with that money, buy some Dunkin'?
I would _love_ to see some data on who is actually profiting enough on a private home sale to trigger the capital gains tax (over $500k profit, right)? Mostly because I'm very, very jealous.
