📷 De très beaux red sprites dans la soirée du 26 novembre 2025, en direction d’orages sur la Méditerranée entre la Sardaigne et la Corse ! De très jolis spécimens ! Il a fallu braver le froid et le vent, mais ça en valait la peine !

It's nice that if you can't find whatever esoteric astronomical objects you were looking for, you can always just look at the moon, and it's always mesmerizing.

In 1936, Alan Turing conceived of hypothetical machines that could help mathematically model the process of computation. Built from just three parts, Turing machines can in principle compute the answer to any solvable problem. www.quantamagazine.org/amateur-math...

From the museum website: "Flaisch macht Flaisch." German print, 1555: "Nun walks with fish in hand chasing a cat, she wants to exchange the fish with a penis that the cat has in the mouth. A jester is watching through a window frame."

C'est beau.

C'est Albert Bierstadt (1830-1902).

C'est une source d'inspiration à la direction artistique d'Outer Wilds.

This historic picture of Jupiter’s southern half always stops me in my tracks.

Voyager 2 grabbed it on 25 June 1979 when it was already down to 12 million kilometres and still closing fast.

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves.

A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it:

Nearly-perfect printed and handwritten text recognition is the most consequential technical contribution to the study of human culture of the last fifteen years, and it's not even close.

It fundamentally changes our (both lay and expert) relationship with the written past.

Somptueuse astrophoto de la comète Lemmon prise ce début de mois au-dessus des monts Meili, dans l'Himalaya chinois.

Elle exhibe sa queue de poussière blanche s'étendant vers la droite et son autre magnifique queue ionique bleue, déformée par le vent solaire, s'étendant vers la gauche.

"LLMs are simply tools that emulate the communicative function of language, not the separate and distinct cognitive process of thinking and reasoning, no matter how many data centers we build."
Is language the same as intelligence? The AI industry desperately needs it to be
The AI boom is based on a fundamental mistake.

24 November 1859: 'On the Origin of Species', Charles Darwin's groundbreaking book, was published.

Darwin's magnum opus is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology and is undoubtedly one among the most important books in the history of science.
