Big milestone today. Just got the first image back of our new neuromorphic AI chip. It’s finally real. Now the most important question: will it actually work? 🙂

Here’s some happy goats to brighten your day

Some wild virga on fire during this evening’s sunset at the Gulf Islands

Despite all the hype and technological “advancements” Haiku 4.5 is still utterly useless

Happening now: a bear 🐻 has climbed up the side of #Whistler Four Seasons and is exploring the room decks, probably trying to find a way inside 😂

Drafted up what the equivalent of ATproto could look like for sensor data like waveform streams and historical lookup. Curious what researchers out there think of this. @bmann.ca @ronentk.me gist.github.com/crockpotvegg...

Computational Fluid Dynamics #CFD and 3D design improvements with GPT6 Astra. This is wild for engineering. I never thought we would be here so quickly.

Well I guess if you give Astra a couple days things just reach a whole new level. Here's the Gastown (and soon rest of downtown) Vancouver recreation in Godot. It even recreated the interior for Lee's Donuts. #ChatGPT #GPT6

Wanted to see what all the hype was about with GPT6 Astra. Created a walkable recreation of Gastown in Vancouver in just over an hour in Godot.

Looks like @ensembleator.bsky.social 's forecast just validated as new cell over Surrey has started throwing bolts ⛈️ #bcstorm

Meanwhile looks like fog is diverting flights bound for Edmonton back to their origin airports. Westjet 300 diverted back to YVR #weather

Lightning over Burnaby and the North Shore! Starting to get a good thunder in tri cities @ensembleator.bsky.social

Storm chasing cb cells popping up over Oregon using a 1:8 scale train 🚂 new achievement unlocked 😂

Canadian Forces (?) spotted doing a flyover of Lake Tahoe on Fourth of July 🇺🇸🇨🇦

There’s a bat 🦇 stuck in the room next door to me. Hmmm.

Canadian Forces CC-150T doing laps around Vancouver. @petervogel.bsky.social have any details on this one?

@petervogel.bsky.social is your ADS-B picking up any military aircraft circling the north shore? Definitely observing some kind of jet around the north shore mountains not showing up in the usual FlightRadar24. Probably for the World Cup

Maybe my favourite macro yet. New flowers means hundreds of new friends. 🐝

While the hantavirus risk looks mostly contained, the most recent Ebola outbreak appears to be worse than original estimates. Doctors and epidemiologists suspect it has spread to new areas not currently being tracked. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The agent I've been working on has been gaining new capabilities every day. Here it's pulled 10 ensemble members and plotted precipitation forecast for the next ten days, and deliver it every morning. @ensembleator.bsky.social how did it do?

I was surprised to see my personal agent built on Qwen3.6 having the capability to interpret lightning maps and accurately describe the direction of movement of the storm. This model must have been trained on a lot of mapping data.

Getting sparky ⚡️⛈️ and a little wet in greater Vancouver #bcstorm #bcwx

ECMWF long range trending towards “super” El Niño by November, probabilistic ensembles hinting June-August look like above average temperatures for BC but dry #bcstorm #bcwx www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/ana...

First time I’ve ever seen Banasa Dimidiata (Green burgundy stink bug) but wow it’s so cool. It seemed to love hanging out in some wax begonias I just planted. A welcome friend. 🪲

A very friendly American Goldfinch visited the bird feeder this morning. Nice to see them returning again this year. Also a little experiment had Gemini process the image to get better focus but maybe it’s a stretch?

Asperitas over Coquitlam ☁️ #bcstorm #bcwx

Still blows my mind I can pull up a live YouTube stream and overlay it on @flightradar24.com and watch an entire airport live on a tiny cell phone in 2026. www.youtube.com/live/SkieSbW...

There’s definitely something funny going on with Claude usage. All it took was a couple of code reviews and I’m hitting usage limits on a MAX plan. Something smells very bad. 👃 Anyone else running into this?

Cascades are looking beautiful!

It must be spring, the animals are out and very lively! This owl flew right up to me on my walk last night 🦉

The bears are back, and right on cue they’re back to destroying our fence again (that’s the crunch sound at the end) 🐻😂

It’s about time we go back to the moon 🚀🌕 #artemis

Lightning now popping up from that cell moving over Pitt Meadows now #bcstorm #bcwx

Looks like a random cell just popped up over the Tri-Cities and is dropping a solid amount of pellets #bcstorm #bcwx

Of course the clouds are out 🙂😭 KP Index is at 6 right now #bcwx #aurora #northernlights

Orange warnings now issued for the Fraser Valley, up to 130mm of rainfall predicted from now until Friday with high flooding risk #bcstorm #bcwx weather.gc.ca?zoom=6&cente...

Antarctic ice cores demonstrate ocean heat - not CO2 - was responsible for more dramatic swings in climate change. Which begs the question: what drives ocean heat? 🤔 www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.perplexity.ai/page/antarct...

Nearly every neuron in the brain of a fruit fly has been mapped. “Oxford researchers built the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the adult fruit fly brain, achieving roughly tenfold single-cell coverage of every neuron.” neurosciencenews.com/neural-memor... #neuroscience

Lots of snow pellets falling on north shore mountains! #bcstorm #bcsnow #weather

Sonic boom at around 9:11pm local time was strong enough to create a spike on the seismometer in Maple Ridge. If it was a meteor it was a big one!

Reports all over the lower mainland of a bright flash followed by a very large boom a minute later. Did you hear it? If it was a meteor it must have been on the scale of the Chelyabinsk Event.
