In case you've missed it: I've made a free iPhone app which helps you find #Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) in the night sky. The app has exactly one function and couldn't be easier to use. You simply hold up your phone to the night sky and the red target marker shows you where the comet is!

I’ve recently released gpu-io – a #webgl computing library for real-time physics simulations, particle/agent-based systems, cellular automata, image processing, and general purpose GPU computations.

Examples: https://apps.amandaghassaei.com/gpu-io/examples/
GitHub: https://github.com/amandaghassaei/gpu-io

gpu-io makes it easy to build GPU-accelerated apps without worrying about low-level WebGL details and browser inconsistencies. Designed for WebGL2 with fallbacks for WebGL1. WebGPU support is planned! More in thread 🧵...

Why, it’s an IBM RT “ROMP” RISC Processor Card, as originally used in the IBM Academic System 6152! This was the last iteration of IBM’s pre-PowerPC UNIX workstation, which was delivered as a PS/2 Model 60 with coprocessor and network cards, to run either AIX or the Academic Operating System, IBM’s BSD. I haven’t fully brought it up yet, but UNIX.EXE running under DOS can talk to it!
