Fantastic Idea. More library-esque availabliy of instruments and equipment to schools and colleges goes a long way.
JNP is offering a telescope library facility to schools. Schools can borrow telescopes/ binoculars/ gnomons from JNP to conduct sky-watch sessions for students. We invite all interested teachers/ schools to sign-up for this training workshop to avail this facility.

The justification being energy costs is them betting on abundant green energy infrastructure for the masses not being a reality in the coming decades. Same goes for tech giants trying to privately operate nuclear plants. Bleak.

Spent some time yesterday trying to get pictures of the Apollo 11 descent stage from the Chandrayaan 2 data following the attached guide. I have highlighted the little west crater Imaged by Neil Armstrong from the ground. https://t.co/3S75Y4uFb4

Thinking about the 'to touch' replicas of fossils at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales. All kinds of museums need to have 'to touch' replicas, frankly changes the whole experience of a museum. How else is one to pet an extinct giant cat.

Underlines the fact that there is a clear 'productive' barrier to llm/gen-images, and exploiting human emotions is one of the only viable markets for it, and that there is no 'ethical' leash. @postdocforever would rightly say 'this is due to the tendancy of profits to fall'.
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right. Now that we have

2/n 'competitive grants' These should be separate from salaries, and will need more public investment 'collaborative research' Make it easy for collaborators to come to India. 'top prizes' Don't matter if most of your research labour force isn't paid a living wage on time.

TIL There are stellar streams around our Milky Way ( giant trails of disrupted dwarf galaxies, globular clusters) named after the Jhelum, Ravi, Chenab and Indus rivers, discovered by Nora Shipp in her 2018 paper. Naming streams after rivers is a great idea, hope it catches on!

A look back at everyone on Earth #OTD in 1977. NASA's Voyager 1 took the first image of the Earth and Moon in the same frame 48 years ago today. The spacecraft, which began its mission two weeks earlier, captured this scene from 7.25 million miles (11.7 million km) away.

My latest *Locus* column is "Reverse Centaurs," and it sets out to unravel a paradox: how is that some AI's users describe their experience as a hellish ordeal, while others delight in the ways that AI is changing their lives for the better? https://t.co/K76hWjNO9A 1/

Fund the sample return program, now of all times. Stuff like this needs to be in a Lab on earth ASAP.
