Had my friends drag me through the math and code to generate 2d and 3d game objects. (Shit was rough but I made it. But at what cost? 
I can read the code and tell you what it does at least...)
Have been reading academic papers on Generative AI, Machine Learning, Neural networks etc.
But also, getting into cybersecurity and consumer protections (protecting USERS is one of my concerns about AI!! Protecting your unwashed tech bro AI loving ass!)
Its like... to these rando gen AI Bros who claim artists don't know how generative AI works... I'M SORRY, what are YOUR credentials, jerkoff rando?
Bruh I went to a STEM university. Wanted to be a concept artist/gamedev. I had paper drawings and a few digital drawings as my portfolio. Ended up learning how graphics are MADE visible using a CPU/GPU. Learned a decent amount of C/C++, Java and Python. (Very painful.)

On this day in 1909: The first expedition reached the geographic North Pole.
Matthew Henson, an African-American explorer who traveled the world from age 11, was likely the first person to stand at the top of the world, though his contributions went largely unrecognized for decades due to the racial climate of the time.

In case you were wondering, Telesat is Canada's answer to Starlink. Still no "Voyageur" puns, but give it time
Sunday 1-4 Amazing #Archaeology Fair @ #Harvard in #CambridgeMA
"Venture on archaeological expeditions around the world in this annual event for all ages. Talk with #archaeologists who study ancient Egyptians, Incas, prehistoric peoples, and others. Try ancient cuneiform writing and use an app that animates detailed wall art in Assyrian palaces. Discover cave art made by Neanderthals and other early humans, and learn how mummies’ names reveal secrets of Egyptian “tomb recycling.” Discover these and other surprises during this popular event.
Regular museum admission rates apply. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage.
Presented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology, the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East, and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture."

Scientists use magnetic minerals, fossil records, and innovative mapping to reconstruct our planet's 4-billion-year geological #history. You can trace the movement of continents from ancient Pangea to today's landscape, explaining how our world has constantly reshaped itself.

You hear that? That is the collective cranial fluid leaking out the ears of the US, just when we need MORE science, medicine and technology. Not a byproduct, but a plan.

Add the FDA to the casualty list. "Former US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner Robert Califf took to social media Tuesday as mass layoffs hit the top drug regulatory agency, saying, 'The FDA as we've known it is finished.'"

I cannot convey how much I resonated with the latest Change, Technically episode on math anxiety! I was homeschooled, my wife is defending her Ph.D. thesis tomorrow (!), we have both seen many of the patterns of math anxiety you talk about... I was just nodding (and sometimes smh along with you) the whole time. It's so hard and complex and I love that you embrace that.
Thank you for another thoroughly researched episode!

Jetzt aber schnell! Wir haben noch wenige Plätze für den Girls' Day am 3. April frei. 
Bei uns lernen Teilnehmerinnen ab 14 Jahren, wie ein Computer aufgebaut ist, was Superrechner und Quantencomputer besonders macht, und wie sie sich voneinander unterscheiden. Außerdem tauchen wir in die virtuellen Welten unseres Virtual Reality Centres ein und Forscherinnen vom LRZ und @MunichQuantum beantworten Fragen zu ihrem Job.

Rocket Science & Autism (yes, I can and so can you)
When I say I love learning, I mean it. From neuroscience to cuneiform, my autistic brain thrives on deep dives into complex subjects. That's why I’m currently taking "Rocket Science for Everyone" at Yale University via Coursera.
Here are six fascinating facts I learned about orbital mechanics—yes, the physics that keeps satellites in space!
