Cosmic blooms! 🌸

These flower-like images from Hubble and @NASAWebb show the dying star Wolf-Rayet 124 as it casts off outer layers of material.

Wolf-Rayet stars are among the most luminous, massive, and briefly detectable stars known.
#Hubble



Hubble's view features observations taken in the visible light spectrum, which is what our human eyes can detect.

At a distance of 15,000 light-years, this star has the mass of 30 Suns... and has already shed 10 Suns' worth of material! go.nasa.gov/3Z4kZ6x
#Hubble



Webb's new view shows the same object in infrared, which is ideal for studying cosmic dust – and WR 124 is producing a lot of dust!

With this new data, astronomers can explore questions of cosmic dust production in environments like WR 124. go.nasa.gov/3ZQqo1W

This ESL amateur linguist happens to think that there are four syllables and vegetable, and several online sources happen to agree.

Austin FC won, but we also lost. The one soccer opinion I hold strongly is that officials need to start red carding for this rolling on the ground faking an injury shit. It’s corny as shit every time.
in reply to Dave Rupert

I agree 100%. You see it at all levels of play and it just needs to go.
It sours the ending of a good match, holds little actual value, and just makes me cringe.

Rachel Carson was born in 1907. She became a marine biologist & prolific writer.

Carson questioned the assumption that humans should dominate #nature. She recognized the dangers to natural systems from the misuse of pesticides like DDT. She also accused the chemical industry of spreading lies & politicians of accepting industry claims uncritically.

Her 1962 book, Silent Spring, is widely credited as being the catalyst for the modern environmental movement. #history #science #HistoryRemix

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

This makes me think of my MLA @josie_osborne who is a Marine Biologist by trade. She is now a successful politician and is Minister of Energy Mines and Low Carbon Innovation and I know that every day she tries to bring her expertise and knowledge of the real impact we have on the environment into her work in government. I also know that the forces arrayed against her, practically and subconsciously, are gigantic.

In this paper we look at the benefits and drawbacks of peer/self assessment when used by university engineering students. We examine the benefits and drawbacks of this strategy, as well as ways to optimise its use.

So, yeah, GPT-4 can understand memes, time to put me into a pod and enter the Matrix, the world is about to end. Here's the full paper from #OpenAI cdn.openai.com/papers/gpt-4.pd…

with the first one it misses that it is a lightning connector with a casing that looks like a VGA connector.
With the second one it completly ignores the graphs.
To me it doesn't seem like it really explains the jokes well.

🤔 I guess this might change if distros like Fedora Silverblue and Vanilla OS become more mainstream, given that they have immutable filesystems.
