I built Whaling Logs — 50 American whaling voyages from 1822 to 1922, read from the crews' handwritten logbooks.
Press play and sail with them! 🧵

announcement: i'm launching a $100,000 grant for amateur astronomy research: claudestronomy.com
over the past few weeks, @joshuawolk @LukeFarritor and i have been digging through public telescope data, hunting for new planets, asteroids, and more
our first release: we found a new dwarf planet in our solar system!! it's insane how much you can find with some claude + codex credits
it's about 1/4 the width of Pluto and orbits about twice as far (way past Neptune), and looks like it's about the 50th largest object in our solar system. @joshuawolk is in the process of confirming it
this dwarf planet has sat in public images for over a decade without anyone noticing. there's tons more out there: all sitting in public NASA/ESA/etc. databases for you to analyze
there's tons of stuff still out there, sitting in data that astronomers don't have enough time to go through all of
you can do this too! apply for a grant. more info below
really incredible how good SF parks are given the efficacy of other city services.
concept: declare the entire city a "park"
Cool! Kudos to @bchesky. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/a…

We've been marking major milestones at @heronpower the past few weeks, from completing our first two prototype Heron Links to pushing power at 34.5kVAC in our backyard test facility in Scotts Valley. Come join the fun, we're hiring!
BREAKING: Utah is turning the page at the former US Magnesium site. @UtahFFSL has selected @MarianaMinerals as the new operator to modernize operations, help fund the cleanup of decades of contamination, and conserve water for the Great Salt Lake.
if you don't have monitor-the-situation.com up in another tab, you're not really monitoring the situation

18. Nuclear waste must stay off-limits for 10,000 years. Sandia's experts proposed giant spike fields and the message "This place is not a place of honor." A linguist proposed an "atomic priesthood" to pass the warning down through myths.

stoked to welcome Rahul to the team! 🫡
Two years after selling @flyAerodome to @flocksafety, I’m leaving it in good hands.
Thanks to Flock, drones provide air support for 911 calls around the country.
Next, I'm joining @a16z as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence. There has never been a better time to build for America 🧵

Last weekend, I collected 250+ real government documents on Moon bases, spy pigeons, warp drives, nuclear canals, psychics, and so much more.

Some of the craziest 🧵
23. Apollo 10's onboard transcript runs past 500 pages. On day six, someone asks for a napkin because a turd is floating through the cabin. All three astronauts deny it's theirs.
