I'm making my scifi murder mystery, "By the Will of the Gods" in @analogsf, available for free for its first anniversary. A genetically modified detective, a temple devoted to foretelling the future, labyrinths linked to countless worlds & more. Enjoy! cqchoi.com/bythewillofthe…

@ATTHelp there may be suspicious activity on att.com/international/… -- initially, a button says "Call 866-595-2662", but then that changes to "Call 888-680-4152", which may be a spam #. was the page hacked?

@SATRAtechnology I'm writing a story referencing the SATRA Bulletin. Am trying to get more info on a stat in an issue. Tried emailing, not heard back yet. Can you email me at cqchoi@sciwriter.us?

@NOAAComms I'm looking for experts on two explainers I'm writing, one on why atmospheric weight doesn't crush us, the other on why winter solstice isn't the coldest day of the year. My editors want two experts for each. Anyone at NOAA game?

@FrancesHardinge Look forward to reading it! For some reason, it doesn't seem to be available via Kindle in the U.S.; any idea why, or if/when it might arrive?

FOREST OF A THOUSAND EYES, my latest collaboration with the brilliant Emily Gravett, was yesterday released into the wild! In fact, Forest _is_ the wild, and is coming after you with strangling vines, giant eagles, venomous deer and malign intent! Er... in a good way?

New AI Project Aims to Mimic the Human Neocortex: The Gates-funded Thousand Brains Project from @numenta offers a fundamentally different approach to AI: by @cqchoi for @IEEESpectrum spectrum.ieee.org/jeff-hawkins

@SimonOgundare Got it! Sent you an email last night from cc5155. Best -- C.

@cqchoi Hi Charles! My UNI is soo2111 - I think there’s a typo somewhere online…

@SimonOgundare I'm writing miniature profiles for the Zuckerman communications team regarding the recent Encephalon meeting. I tried emailing you at soo211@columbia.edu, but it bounced. Is there another email I can try?

My new feature in @ieeespectrum not only explores the science of turning a planet into a computer, but is also paired with science fiction from acclaimed author @karlschroeder. Cool story, cool art, a piece unlike any I've done before. spectrum.ieee.org/hard-science-f…

@InsightTimer was wondering; is it possible to get a gift subscription/premium membership for someone else?

@longshotauthor Am a fan of The Olympian Affair! (& the 1st book. & the Dresden Files.) Wanted to point out a typo tho, which was likely caught already. The character Pine in Windlass changed to Pike in Olympian. Autocorrect failure?

@Grimandmild Hi — I’m a longtime fan of your shows. However, I recently heard an ad on Grim and Mild Presents I found strange and off putting. Is there a way for me to more privately lodge a comment about that ad with you?

@sraymond_astro Is there a compelling theory or idea put forth about what this means for star formation? Or planet formation?

This is an incredible paper, with the discovery of a pile of free-floating planets in a young star-forming region (Orion/Trapezium). The craziest part: 9% are binaries! Like, two Jupiters orbiting each other -- but not orbiting a star! arxiv.org/abs/2310.01231

@antirealism So what you're showing here is a cat that's about the size of a hippo, right

@mocanyc hope you’re all right with any potential flooding! Is the mid autumn festival event still happening Saturday?

@cloudy_vision !!!!!

@PetSafe Understood. So that litter box is now essentially useless? I'm guessing it's been discontinued now as well.

@cqchoi Hi Charles! Thanks for reaching out to us. The pee pads are no longer manufactured and will not be coming back in stock. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and your kitties. If you have questions, please reach out to our Customer Care team directly.

@PetSafe Am trying to buy PetSafe pee pads for my cats' litter box, but they seem to be out of stock everywhere. Any idea why, and when they might come back in stock?
