From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts.

Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot ChatGPT "power users," or those who use it the most, are becoming dependent upon — or even addicted to — the chatbot.

There’s already a growing body of evidence that heavy use of LLMs (which I refuse to call it Artificial Intelligence because they ain’t) impacts critical thinking and language skills. And now there’s this. No thanks.

It would be a real shame if y'all shared this online, printed out a few and hung up all around the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 😉

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

Let's debunk this whole "space is hard" mantra.

Looking at all NASA-led missions launched since 2000, only 4 out of ~60 missions experienced total failures.

Two of these were due to issues with the commercial launch vehicle, & two were spacecraft issues.

That is a *93% success rate.* (1/n)

A French Pluton nuclear-armed tactical ballistic missile, in service from 1974 to 1993.

It is perhaps timely to remember that France left NATO's military command structure in 1966 and pursued an independent French nuclear deterrent - a direct result of the doubts of whether the US dominance in NATO would meet key obligations in the face of a Soviet invasion of Europe.

Let’s rebuild #Aviation Twitter on Bluesky! For a decade, I enjoyed the AvGeek banter with a huge engaged community over there. That place is now DEAD TO ME.

I’m a Ferry Pilot, former Airline Capt, and for the last 25 years, I’ve been moving airliners around the world with my company #Nomadic

Gee, only $11,000? And only 5 day left you say? Let me jump right on that united!

Everyone saying not to pay your Federal taxes, is a idiot. That means YOU will get the penalties and interest assessed at the MARKET rate. Extensions are ONLY for the paperwork. Unless you absolutely know 100% that you are getting a refund, you will have to write a check by April 15.

Sean Duffy Tweet: “Big News - Talked to the DOGE team. They are going to plug in to help upgrade our aviation system.”

Move fast and break things is not the motto you want to adopt at a regulatory system that, as challenged as it may seem at times, is extremely functional.

For me and my industry peers, this is so close to home. While we have insight into crowded airspace and complex operations, we know just as much as you: it’s tragic. Take care when asking crew. Hot takes from anyone, even, but especially, the president, right now is premature and disgusting.

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product.

On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

Sucks when people take your stuff and use it to make their stuff and don’t pay for it, eh?

Wow. it must feel terrible when someone takes something you made and uses it without permission or payment

Agreed. By know I’m fortunate to know many trans people. All of them are cool. I do know many non trans folks who are giant assholes, on the other hand.

A picture of a Google building over a nonsensical CNN headline: "Google complies with Trump executive orders, changing names of geographical landmarks."

This is an absolutely nonsensical headline: private companies aren't subject to presidential executive orders--they're not part of the government! There's no "compliance" going on here because there's nothing for Google to comply with; this is corporate kowtowing, plain and simple.

Do better, CNN.

And this…

“Ms. Hegseth said after the vote that she had submitted her affidavit only because she had been assured that it would sway key votes…“What happened today will make women who have experienced abuse and mistreatment even less forthcoming.””

They knew the menace and chaos of Trump would sell news, and the joy and calm of Harris would not. It’s a craven, unpatriotic business decision. I saw this coming over a year ago, and vowed I’d never resubscribe ever again.

Where the hell was this before the election
