As the Artemis II mission heads for a flyby of the moon,
the Orion crew module is testing one of NASA’s most ambitious upgrades to space communications yet:
a laser-based system called O2O.
Short for Orion Artemis II Optical Communications System,
O2O caps more than two decades of work by NASA and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory
to build better high-bandwidth links for deep space.
The system is designed to send data down to …

How Raiders' 2026 Draft Class Is Already Coming Together https://www.si.com/nfl/raiders/onsi/las-vegas-how-2026-draft-class-already-coming-together

Since coming back from Germany for HARRIS I've been chasing a weird issue on my ThunderScope 100baseT1 test setup.
Before leaving for HARRIS I unplugged the TS, left the rest of the setup untouched, and brought the TS with me to demo to people while traveling.
After coming back the TS appears fine (passed calibration, and gives good-looking eyes on 100baseTX).
But when hooked back to the same, theoretically unmodified baseT1 test setup, I get weird diagonal distortion, …

I cannot tell you what to do, watching the US president and his horrific regime trying to plunge the world into flame and darkness. I can’t tell you because I have no idea either.
All I can tell you is this:
You have to know, with total and completely clarity, that nobody is coming to save us.
And knowing that, you will feel lost — but strangely clear.
And suddenly the work will be on you.
And you will do it, because that is •just what you do•, because you •know• that nobody else is coming.
And you will still have no idea what to do, even as you are already doing it.

Raiders rookie Fernando Mendoza on learning the NFL: “It’s coming like a fire hose” https://raiderramble.com/2026/05/05/raiders-rookie-fernando-mendoza-on-learning-the-nfl-its-coming-like-a-fire-hose/

RE: https://social.treehouse.systems/@wwahammy/116695372319811855
This!! I am yelling this too!!
And it’s yet another one of the things where now when I yell it, I have to specify that it’s something I’ve been telling students and companies alike since long before the release of GPT, because otherwise people assume it’s just a reaction to gen AI:
“Generating code is by •far• the easiest part of programming.”
“No matter the source, don’t let code into your project unless you understand what it does.”
“Programming languages exist for humans to communicate with other humans. Code does not just make machines go; it encodes and reifies human mental models. Good code communicates •intent•; very bad code has no coherent intent at all.”
and so on
