🦑 Squid squad alert! This may be a type of whiplash squid from the family Mastigoteuthidae. Filmed during the #MarDelPlataCanyon in Argentina, where an international science team is exploring the diversity & distribution of seafloor communities in one of the country’s largest deep-sea canyons. 🇦🇷

Not a single negative comment about yellow jackets. I love them and find their behavior fascinating. I don't give a shit if you stepped on a garden rake, fell over, got your head stuck in a ground nest, and now dislike them for their mighty defense systems.

What’s a technology that you think is overhyped? I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry. Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto. It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

The views on the Ring of Kerry are always magical 😁

Don't know how many I'll manage to draw, but here is day 1 :

#kleinekunstklasse Ich mache auch mal bei einer Challenge mit, auch wenn ich wahrscheinlich nicht viel schaffen werde 😊

Check out Javiers beautiful snakes.
Here is my version of a yellow-bellied sea snake from last year.

🐡

A flat bug with red eyes and 6 big legs that looks like they have leg warmers on, standing on a purple marker with other colors of marker around like green and pink and blue

It was pretty cold last night so the moths were not as out as we’d hope, but we still saw cool critters, like this assassin bug nymph!

Me, fighting first day con jitters: oh man, what do I do?

A photo of a white sketchbook with a horizontal graphite pencil sketch of a buckler dory in profile view. The fish is deep-bodied with a relatively large protruding mouth, one filamentous dorsal fin, a second long, rounded dorsal fin which is identical to its anal fin, a short causal peduncle and a concave squarish causal fin. Running underneath the back half of the dorsal side are distinctive buckler scales that end at the causal peduncle.

A buckler dory for #SundayFishSketch this week. I worked on this during the last few days of ASM training.

The thing that bugs me most about “de-extinction” is that ignores the fact that we have to have healthy ecosystems to support these animals. What good is it to bring back thylacines (far example) if there is nowhere they can survive?

In the last 60 years we've lost 70% of our seabird populations worldwide!! That's about 230 million birds.

A photo of a basic electrical circuit comprised of four AA batteries in a mount connected to a green LED and a resistor with red and black insulated alligator clips. The circuit is laid out on a dark gray particle board desk. A red plastic vice and a how-to manual are partially in the background.

Made my first circuit with the materials from the estate sale haul! I went online looking for recommendations for beginner electronics guides and I was able to find the highest rated one as an online PDF (Make: Electronics, so I've been reading and following along with the experiments.

I know it's "technically" not a Zachtronics game, but c'mon. It's the same people under a different name.

Save 10% on Kaizen: A Factory Story on Steam Kaizen is an open-ended puzzle automation game from the original Zachtronics team, set in 1980s Japan. Design, build, and optimize production lines to create iconic products, like calculators, camcord...

Kaizen: A Factory Story is sooooo good. I haven't reached the point that I do with most Zachtronics games where I hit a hard wall of difficulty yet, it's done a great job of introducing the mechanics in a digestible way. Love the 80's Japanese aesthetic.
