My kitchen range just adjusted its clock and is now two hours wrong.

But sure, AI will work great when they add it to appliances.

@thomasfuchs what are we as a species if our refrigerators aren't sharing alt-right memes on our accounts? Do we really want to live in that world?

Clownfish of the day: OK, one more clownfish to share. This time we have tomato clownfish in the beautiful reefs of Apo Island. Wide angle photography is not my specialty, but I really like this reef scene with the clownfish moving through the huge anemone arcing across the surface, giant clam in the foreground, and soft corals in the background.

Who are the people who constantly need AI to make summaries of emails and then go and generate a thousand-word email because a single sentence “isn’t professional”

@webcubus@astrodon.social avatar

@thomasfuchs Molly White had a great article addressing this - if we all use AI to do tasks, we should probably question whether those tasks even need doing. I basically just ignore emails that are too long. Ain't nobody got time for that crap. "This email could have been a much shorter email"

Picture of the day: You all seemed to enjoy the Ocellaris clownfish, so I figured I would share another anemonefish! This beauty is a Clark's Anemonefish, differentiated by the neon blue highlights.

Sun and moon combo: I finally got some OK skies overnight last night and few enough clouds to shoot through during the day today to get another moon/sun combo. These images were captured a little over 9 hours apart.

Picture of the day: An ocellaris clownfish dancing among the tentacles of its anemone host. These fish were everywhere in Dumaguete, Philippines but they are in constant motion, so they are not easy to capture.

@snowgaze Right?! I didn't take any video of them, but I should have. I'd love to share just how wiggly they are!

@webcubus@astrodon.social avatar

@snowgaze I've been confronted by other damselfish species. The Ocellaris in my fish tank is constantly trying to nip me, so I wear wetsuit gloves when I'm scraping.

No 2.5 hour road trip to witness an aurora last night. I slummed it in my back garden!

@iangriffin So nice! I'm hoping I get another shot at it soon - we had a very pink/red experience, but I'd love to mix in some green.

My dry suit recently sprung a small leak in the wrist seal. I decided to do my own wrist seal replacement, so I wrote up a blog post about it. This isn't a full tutorial of how to do it - I'll leave that to the pros. This is more meant as a tips and tricks/overview of the process to help others decide if they want to do it themselves.

I've put 2 cold water dives on the new seal and it works great!

Astronomers discover new Earth-sized world orbiting an ultra-cool star

https://phys.org/news/2024-05-astronomers-earth-sized-world-orbiting.html

"Next steps for the project could include follow-up observations by the James Webb Space Telescope, which would deliver important insights into the planet's surface mineralogy, and the potential for an atmosphere."

@richard I assume "ultra-cool" refers to the temperature, but it sounds pretty neat too 😄

Picture of the day: Following up on yesterday's picture of the Jellyfish Nebula, I have a picture of a Lion's Mane Jellyfish. This species can get very large, but this one was small.

The has serious officiating issues. Too many reviews, indecisive calls, bad calls and just too many calls. No flow.

@spelled_with_a_k @Phreba I would have lost my damn mind if that gentle brush on Bobrovsky was deemed interference

@spelled_with_a_k @Phreba they've set the threshold to "goalie gets yeeted into the stands from the crease by significant contact" and there's no going back now.

the refereeing is a joke. Clearly they are only looking at the Bruins. Because the Cats are angels.

What a joke.

@spelled_with_a_k why have a goaltender interference call if you're not going to apply it? I get missing the push live, but there's just no excuse for looking at the replay and not calling it. Best sport, terrible league.

webcubus,
@webcubus@astrodon.social avatar

@spelled_with_a_k oh, and don't even get me started on the "interference" that created that powerplay. OEL throws his head back after a small push from Lindholm and somehow we're short-handed. What is even happening?!

Seeing the northern lights with my own eyes was an amazing experience this weekend! I wrote up a blog post about it and assembled a new video. Check it out!

Not a great image, because I was shooting around the clouds but I had to capture the source of our Aurora fun. That big chunk on the right side has been blasting us with solar mass to light up the sky!

@webcubus@astrodon.social avatar

@Powerfromspace1 I don't know, the surface of the sun doesn't seem like a very safe place to hang out generally 😂

@webcubus@astrodon.social avatar

@Shi @Powerfromspace1 the scale of the sun is mind-boggling!

The Aurora put on a show for us last night! This was 10 second exposures @ f/2.8 on my Canon T3 + 14mm lens. So cool!

It's not quite as active now, but the aurora was wild earlier. This was just a simple night lapse on my Hero11 - we could see colors and pillars with the naked eye, but the camera is next level
