I have just adored so many of the episode setups in season 3 of Poker Face, and just wish the episodes were 90 minutes or so to give them more space to breathe. Maybe I’m wrong though and being short is an asset, because S2E7’s heist plot (with the pervasive Heat parallels) was absolutely epic.

Aras PranckevičiusThere’s a known rule that every 3D code that works has an even number of axis sign errors.
New rule: every image processing code that works has an even number of errors where width is confused with height.
“Making RAM at Home”? Sure, this could be a recycling hack or a metaphorical…. wait, what?

Making RAM at Home
I was actually unaware of the incidental context here that The Hudsucker Proxy was such a disappointment when released. I had enjoyed Raising Arizona, but was completely bowled over by The Big Lebowski. When digging in to the Coens’ work, Hudsucker immediately hit me as pure magic. In my mind it’s always been a hit! https://www.polygon.com/crimewave-sam-raimi-coen-brothers-bruce-campbell-40th-anniversary/
Dare ObasanjoWhen you find out those test Claude wrote actually don’t test anything and just pass all the time.
Seeed Studio’s reBot Arm B601 looks *so* good. Actually nice actuators (no more servo jitter!), and robust mechanical components. The price: ~$1k. Sensing is an evolving story, but this looks like a great basis for working with VLAs even at the home lab scale.

reBot: $1k Budget to Build Open-Source 6+1DoF Robotics Arm for Physical AI
I like how Physical Intelligence demonstrates what their model can do with... what is not the world's slickest looking hardware. Even if the behaviors aren't ready to roll out into a production setting, it's important to see what can be done with things like parallel grippers rather than expensive hands. https://www.pi.website/blog/pi07
Jonas BernoulliThey've raised $17M to build what comes after Git, but you can help me keep Git magical right now, with a much smaller contribution. 💸
Thanks for your support! ❤️
Love that the debate about the value of GenAI doing things humans enjoy doing (eg art) is expanding to consider the value add of GenAI exploiting security vulnerabilities.
Miguel Máiquez"The first flyby images of the Moon captured by NASA’s Artemis II astronauts during their historic test flight reveal regions no human has ever seen before—including a rare in-space solar eclipse. Released Tuesday, April 7, 2026, the photos were taken on April 6 during the crew’s seven‑hour pass over the lunar far side, marking humanity’s return to the Moon’s vicinity."
