This photo of Earth is EXTRA spectacular for a good reason... let me explain. Most images you see of Earth from space are the daylight side of the Earth, and it's obviously very bright (see my last image), this means stars are too dim to be seen with that bright exposure setting (low ISO, high shutter and / or stopped down aperture). BUT this image taken by the Orion crew looks so incredible because you can see the sun is BEHIND the earth, meaning it's night time on the side of the earth facing the crew in this image. So how do you expose a night time earth from space? Same way you do on Earth! A mixture of opening up the aperture (F4 in this case), cranking the ISO (51,200 here), and using a relatively long exposure (1/4 of a second). We can see the settings used by looking at the exif data from the camera. What this means is our camera is also sensitive enough to see stars in the background of Earth, leading to an extraordinary image!!! GREAT WORK!!! These are the kind of images I've been so excited to see!

@bevel_health Made me look into you guys. Cancelled my Whoop sub recently - overpriced and the recent upgrade debacle made me hate them. Might give you a try, thanks @WHOOP

Whoop filed a lawsuit against us, and this is our response. TL;DW: - June 2024: Whoop's Corp Dev reached out wanting to "explore collaboration" - 5 months later: cease and desist letter - Their demands: disable dark mode (ours defaults to light mode), rename common words like "Strain" and "Recovery" - We pushed back. Our lawyers exchanged letters for months. Then they went silent. - 2 weeks ago: sued us in Delaware with no warning - Their 111-page complaint claims our UI copies theirs but many of their own screenshots contradict their claims - Fun fact: Whoop updated their home screen to look like ours, not the other way around Watch the video below to learn more ↓

@aarondfrancis @ChrisHatt11 Great thing about X is everyone agrees he’s a legend.

Imagine winning this hard. Impossible

@IrishFuk @Polymarket It’s the window you dumbass. Ffs

@Polymarket Stars end where circled. Do they think we are retRded, Stupid, Or both?

BREAKING: Artemis II crew captures new photo of Earth.

This is getting f’ing insane.

Travelling and become worried I may lose access to my OpenClaw setup if the power cut. So using airplane WiFi managed to setup a rock solid recovery plan. Mind blown.

mesh-llm: pool compute to run open models. built by @michaelneale at block: docs.anarchai.org

OR Tambo is a complete disaster. Complete embarrassment.

@warpling @AppStore Yeah asked this guy about it and he doubled down, unbelievable.

Brand new app. Claims 10 Million users in the first screenshot… Hey @AppStore…

Yes... In case anyone was wondering, Microsoft still sucks in space.

Passengers on a commercial flight captured the launch of Artemis II on camera The plane happened to pass near the launch trajectory at the exact moment of liftoff, giving passengers a rare view of the rocket launch right from their windows.

@AfricaFactsZone Aren’t we lucky.

South Africa is reducing the fuel levy by $0.18 for a month to ease pressure on citizens.

@ericdegaardt @amatowho @rork Came to post this. Scamming users from day 1 👏

@amatowho @rork Actually feel like reporten the app for saying its trusted by 10 m people. Why you wan to scam people?

My app built with @rork max is now live on the App Store. Next up, UGC army

@pal____ Grow ARR - so they will do anything to push you into joining Takealot More and secure subscription revenue.

Is it just me or is Takealot REALLY cash grabby these days? What happened to free delivery for items over R650? Why is delivery R75-R95? Why do I have TakealotMORE subscription that takes R40 a month but I still pay *R75* for delivery if the order is under R500? What’s going on?

@aynrandfontein This entire street is a disaster. Trucks delivering to the brewery park as they please and have destroyed the road so it’s approaching being unusable. It’s an embarassment for @CityofCT @geordinhl

🧵 THREAD: Springbok Pub, Newlands, Cape Town, South Africa. 2017 - 2022 - 2025. Springboks was an institution in Newlands for 17 years, around the corner from Newlands Rugby Stadium. The train tracks run behind it and the building was built around two old train carriages.

@levelsio Always happens to me as well. Miss so many moments waiting for the f’ing camera to be usable. Apple has gone to shit.

My $2000+ iPhone 17 Pro Max when I try to take a photo just about every day now Then I realized most of my friends have the same problem Tim Cook should resign 🤡

🚨BREAKING: A massive crowd of people have gathered in London in support of the American left’s No Kings protest. The country that literally has a King is protesting against America who doesn’t. Can’t make this stuff up.

@RogerDenDas @Sage_Explains @Thomas_L_Grote Correct

@Sage_Explains @Thomas_L_Grote That's because this is clearly fake.

Apparently my 8 year old niece has learned how to text and it’s the cutest thing ever. Not sure if legos will work on the moon, but never stop a future engineer from dreaming.
