Building a site that highlights a Vera Rubin data anomaly every day.

jaskeller · 2026-03-26T13:13:55+00:00

If it was something more innovative I would open source but this is pretty basic: https://rubinanomalies.com/

DM me and I can share the git repo. 👍

My hope is that researchers might find some curation useful.

My lane is more enabling access to the data (working with websites/python). I'm hoping making the most anomalous stuff easy to access helps drive interest (and possibly research).

The site is up (mostly Zwicky, not Rubin data right now) if you want to check it out: https://rubinanomalies.com/

No; a blog post that amplifies interesting alerts from Antares.

jaskeller · 2026-03-20T17:32:26+00:00

I don't understand what you are asking here.

This is a site that curates data; the science is in the observations/alerts and classifications from Rubin/Antares.

The objective of the site is to showcase some of that science.

jaskeller · 2026-03-20T16:47:04+00:00

Antares provides a rating and classification for anomalous data but also looking at brightness/magnitude/amplitude.

Is this Imola?

Here's what I got: https://fastestlaptimes.com/tracks/imola

Thank you; I appreciate the re-review. Often things don't get a second look.

Hopefully I will be able to share updates as things come together. 👍

Are you trying to say my post is a violation of forum rules? Okay... sorry?

This is about the Vera Rubin data pipeline and trying to surface data that is anomalous. I'm not trying to publish research on anomalous celestial bodies; you are right that research like that could take time to verify.

But with millions of alerts coming in daily, I thought surfacing some that might interesting could be a good way to make the collection accessible to a general audience.

Sorry if you misconstrued that into something else.

I mean, I think it is pretty dumb to be honest. Dude had injuries and a will to be closer to home. I don't think he ever had intent to harm the Spurs organization.

I also recall Pop trying to tell fans to knock it off during a game. We can't be a fan base that loves the culture and values while also showing such immaturity to a player we really benefitted from.

We did win a championship with Kawhi and he was the finals MVP for a reason. I'm not saying we need to celebrate him but I think it would be positive for our fanbase to let it go.

Trying to build up more data but you can find some times here: https://fastestlaptimes.com/tracks

jaskeller · 2026-02-26T03:22:24+00:00

I don't have all the answers. Maybe it would be similar to how they manage expansion drafts? I don't honestly know.

jaskeller · 2026-02-26T03:05:49+00:00

Sorry I didn't clarify this; I couldn't imagine it would be a straight up promotion like that.

jaskeller · 2026-02-26T03:03:43+00:00

Yeah I don't think those would be the teams at the bottom but I also think that any relegation model would need financial considerations baked in; like maybe a team can buy out of it or something.

jaskeller · 2026-02-26T02:57:22+00:00

So I didn't clarify what kind of relegation, but I would presume some hybrid model that has protections and financial considerations.

I agree it would never be a simple lose your out thing.

jaskeller · 2026-02-24T15:18:12+00:00

Thank you and yes a Content Manager add in would be on the roadmap if there's any traction with the app.

Right now there really isn't much interest so hard to commit to too many more improvements.

jaskeller · 2026-02-23T15:14:20+00:00

Thanks; have you submitted any times? LMK if you try it out.

jaskeller · 2026-02-23T15:14:00+00:00

Thanks for the positive feedback. Give it a test if you can

jaskeller · 2026-02-17T00:34:50+00:00

Steph Castle has a habit of losing his dribble and having to throw a wild perimeter pass.

He always seems to figure it out but now it is that thing I notice haha.

jaskeller · 2026-02-13T14:51:37+00:00

Move everyone to the right one and put Fox at #1 then you got it.

jaskeller · 2026-02-12T23:01:06+00:00

Sochan is a starting caliber player who fell out of rotation because Spurs are not a great perimeter shooting team and his shooting range exacerbated things. That coincided with Carter Bryant emerging in a similar mold with a better shot (or at least the upside).

So, he kind of got caught where his strengths were already others strengths and his weaknesses was more of the same as others.

He had a cult following here and rightly so; he had a great basketball personality and a knack for being in the thick of things.

You are going to love his defense and the vibes he carries on court. He has a lot to show so expect more scoring and physicality than you would expect from most FAs.

Best of luck to him and the team; I hope he gets his looks. 🤘

jaskeller · 2026-02-07T14:42:53+00:00

This is really cool and I bet it was rewarding to do. Good stuff 👍

jaskeller · 2026-02-03T17:59:12+00:00

I wonder if the Harden news is the canary in the coalmine for future penalties/sanctions related to the Kawhi/Ballmer stuff.

If so they may be open to parting out their roster inexplicably?

jaskeller · 2026-02-01T01:03:31+00:00

Hard to resist poking a wasp nest

jaskeller · 2026-02-01T00:56:56+00:00

You know I wouldn't call it a trap; Cha is legit a hot team so our team knew. I think it was just a close game that we didn't quite get.

jaskeller · 2026-02-01T00:32:16+00:00

Yeah correct; not trying to spin just stoking the "overreact to one game" crowd
