It's time to call it. AI is built on a house of cards of intellectual property violations starting with Facebook which is starting to look a lot like a crime scene as held back discovery documents begin to be compelled and unsealed in court. /1

2D map tiles, like those used in Google Maps or OpenStreetMap, can now be displayed as a WGS84 (or other) ellipsoid in 3d tiles renderer! It works with the same globe controls and other 3d tiles navigation utilities 🌎 Demo in thread 👇 1/2 #threejs #webgl #gis #3dtiles

Asteroid and meteorite folks: has anyone detected ribose or other simple sugars on Bennu (either from samples or remote sensing)? I know the results that came out last week found a *ton* of organic nitrogen-bearing compounds, but I haven't seen anything about carbohydrates yet.

Impact risk for asteroid 2024 YR4 has ticked up to 1.7%. It may be 2028 before it can be removed. This is not unusual. ESA has 2015 NEOs on its risk list. NASA calculates 41,849 "virtual" impact events. Impacts can be both inevitable and unlikely. #PlanetSci neofixer.arizona.edu/site/500/K24...

Nature had the conditions to "cook up" the chemical precursor ingredients for life before Earth formed, according to studies published by the sample analysis team of NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, which is led by LPL's Regents Professor Dante Lauretta. news.arizona.edu/news/asteroi...
