I never get tired of riding the ferries across Puget Sound. I usually stay in my car, and sometimes even get lucky with the view from the car deck. I found this scene looking northward on the Edmonds-Kingston run.

Nasa just published this amazing picture.

This is a very high exposure picture of the nigh side of the world. City lights, auroras, starts and Venus can be seen.

Also, do you realize how thin our atmosphere really is? We’re all living in a small fish tank. Everything we release into that thin layer of air matters.

There is a fresh thing going around about LinkedIn scanning extensions installed in Chrome/Chromium:
https://browsergate.eu/

The website claims "LinkedIn is Illegally Searching Your Computer", and implies the purpose is to find "religious beliefs, political opinions, disabilities".

tl;dr:
- yes, LinkedIn is scanning through a list of 6k+ extensions on Chrome;
- yes, this is bad;
- but the website is disingenuous in making unnecessarily overblown claims.

Passing thought on the Claude code leak, and how messy and wasteful the code apparently is (as many of us suspected):

There’s been a lot of focus on the energy & environmental costs of running LLMs. There are also energy & environmental costs to deploying LLM-generated code.

Similarly, there’s a lot of focus on the kickbacks cloud vendors who fund AI get from LLMs renting their servers. There may be a similar kickback from computationally inefficient LLM-generated software renting their servers.
