Gutesgeet 👋

You got me! I did not know we had that. Thanks. Which one is that?

(I guess we also have the images of the light surrounding black hole in the center of our galaxy, which is also quite far away, and has quite som pixels. Although it is also larger than a typical star.)

Except that it’s wrong. Space is cool, and Betelgeuse is impressive, but that isn’t how it looks.

The star is out of focus, and the movement is due to the earths atmosphere. I could get that visual with my phone and a handheld binocular.

Any image of a star (except for our own sun), which is more than just a point of light, is a faulty representation. It’s misleading. Share cool stuff, but let’s not say things that we don’t know to be true.

Actually i just said something that i assumed to be true, but wasn’t

““Any image of a star (except for our own sun), which is more than just a point of light, is a faulty representation.””

Turns out we do have ‘higher’ resolution pictures of stars, thanks to raoul. I’m sorry. mistakes were made. I’ll go on my lunchbreak now and think about what I’ve done.

Piles of depression can still be a net force for good. I believe that.

As cheesy as it sounds, our actions really do echo in eternity.

It helps me to think of everyone who was here before me, and be grateful for what i have.

And to see that I am the next in line, to make the world just a little better, than it was when i was born, in the ways that I am able to.

Most electricity is being created with the use of magnets i motors/generators. No more electricity then.

Asides from batteries and solar.

Someone wrote that code. I like to imagine that they know it’s wrong, so they frame it as clearly as they can, without being fired. Guy could have written “Gaming Copilot is invading your privacy”, or something like it, but that wouldn’t pass.

I can imagine som LLM coming up with an absolute nonsense step by step guide on how to do it with the terminal.

Freaky guy.

They do it for efficiency, like ducklings after their mother. Have you ever seen a large boat from above? The wake spreads out behind it, in this v-shape. It’s like a wave following the boat, and the ducklings can “surf” on the v-shaped wave, after their mother, and they don’t have to paddle as hard.

Looks really good. Haven’t heard about breezy. Will definitely check it out. Thanks!

I can’t tell if you are joking, being snarky, or misunderstood his question

“That’s right, a one-stop shop for AI slop is incoming”, brilliant sentence.

Its either human, or its dancer.

Yeah I agree. There are some absolutely ridiculous explanations and excuses, to answer plotholes like that. “The Lord works in mysterious ways”. We have more than 1500 years of made up explanations, to solve made up statements.

Happy accidents.

Yeah, thanks. I appreciate yours too! Its quite a thread you’ve started.

I tried to justify this (if one insists on the existence of a god), through the argument that dangerous and bad things exist in nature as well, such as storms, lightning, floodings, earthquakes, and chimps that go to war with each other etc. and likewise, violent and bad things exist among humans.

However, I cant really convince myself that it’s comparable. Actual evil did not really exist before be came along and started torturing each other. (The church and christians have been through many iterations of hard questions and tough answers to their own riddles, and overall, I think it has been a sum positive for humanity, in trying to explain, and to figure out the question of evil in general.)

So no, I don’t have a, from the hip, justification from god, why evil people would still exist. Perhaps the world just is a better place, with snakes in it, than without. It gives us something good to do?

I can however confidently state that really bad people have been here among humanity many times before, and they have all, in one way or another, left again, and somehow we manage to sustain a world, that is continuously improving and trying to become a better and better place. Getting rid of bad people, snakes, and natural dangers.

I know that there are serious crises and problems we still have to solve, but we tend to forget all the past evils that we have defeated. We are not being actively overrun by mongols from the east, and not every family loses several small children before they reach the age of 5. Most people have enough, and we still keep working to make sure that fewer and fewer people will suffer in the future.

Great photos, really. You have a good eye for details, and I like the ‘appreciation-snapshot’ type of photography, like with the Icom IC-R6, the throttle of the steam ship, the lynx, and the lights in the front landing gear of the airplane.

It reminds me of those moments where you look around, and you notice a pleasing or interesting detail which catches your attention. The more of those moments I have, the more I appreciate the life and the positive in the world we created.

People have put a lot of hours into all the good we have in the world, and sometimes I am reminded through a detail.
