this charming investigative piece on pitchfork's infamous monkey-pissing-in-its-own-mouth.gif review of jet gets to some nice inside-baseball meditations on the much more fun pre-corporate/pre-poptimist pitchfork, like this bit about how the dreaded rating system was actually playful & experimental before being coded into the CMS.

Why Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen thinks AI is the future
AI tech still “hallucinates,” and consumers need to do a lot of work to start taking provenance seriously, but Narayen is confident we’ll all adapt.

If you can, just don't use Adobe software at all.

Solar photospheric spectrum microvariability II. Observed relations to magnetic activity and radial-velocity modulation
Searches for small exoplanets around solar-type stars are limited by stellar physical variability. While chromospheric variability is well studied, observing, modeling. and understanding the much smaller fluctuations in photospheric spectral line strengths, shapes, and shifts is challenging. Extreme precision radial-velocity spectrometers now enable extreme precision stellar spectroscopy and time series of the Sun seen as a star permit monitoring of its photospheric variability. Fluctuations in…

You know what’s a really great feeling? When you fat-finger some precious data out of existence (in this case, merged a bunch of Photoshop layers without noticing then saved the file) and restoring from your neglected-for-years-at-a-time backup system Just Works. (ArqBackup BTW.)
