Unfortunately no. Work keeps informing me about the launches *after* they happen.

The second pair of satellites in the "Worldview Legion" group (which I worked on, in a very small way) went up this morning. Word is they're functional and sending telemetry. https://upi.com/Science_News/2024/08/15/SpaceX-Maxar-WorldView-satellite-constellation/6901723731253/

Oh my goodness, my first sale. The acceptance letter came today. "Peacemaker's First Strike" is on contract to be published in Abyss & Apex (https://www.abyssapexzine.com) in July 2025.
A&A will pay me (so this is a bigger deal than the story I got published in a non-paying magazine previously), but their stories are available to the public for free/donation. So you'll all be able to read it if you can wait a year!

In this final blog of the AI Ideology series, I lay out my responses to the existential risk scenario. While I have some respect for the argument, I'm not placing any high bets on doom. https://writerofminds.blogspot.com/2024/06/ai-ideology-vi-existential-risk-critique.html

This month in Acuitas: I was never quite satisfied with my last overhaul of the Conversation Engine, but I think I was going in the right direction - toward unity with some parts of Narrative Understanding. https://writerofminds.blogspot.com/2024/05/acuitas-diary-72-may-2024.html #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #chatbot #NLP #NLU

In this month's AI ideology blog, I finally get to the fun stuff: existential risk! Just why do some people think AI might want to wipe us out?

New jumping spider! Sitticus palustris and Naphrys pulex are the closest options in my spider book, but I'm not sure. I often see P. audax and Platycryptus in the house, but these little brown ones stick to the lawn.

This month's developer diary features proper tree structures for goals/problems and their subgoals/subproblems, plus the end (kind of) of the big refactor.

Peristaltic pump Version 2 is off the printer - let's hope it works! Ursula is helpfully providing scale. #3dPrinting #3dPrinted #robotics
