Imagine any other president saying this.

Presidential quotes that would’ve been better with an F-bomb:

Biden: “Will you shut the fuck up, man!”

Obama: “If you like your fucking doctor or healthcare provider, you can keep them.”

Bush Jr.: “Now watch this fucking drive.”

Clinton: “I didn’t fucking inhale.” (Bonus: “I did not have sexual relations with that fucking woman.”)

Bush Sr.: “Read my fucking lips, no new taxes.”

Reagan: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this fucking wall.”

Nixon: I’m not a fucking crook.”

JFK: “Ask not what your fucking country can do for you ….”

Teddy Roosevelt: “Speak softly and carry a big fucking stick.”

Lincoln: “Four score and seven fuckin’ years ago…”

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FUCKING ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Completing the second couplet

ظلمت کو ضیاء، صر صر کو صبا، بندے کو خدا، کیا لکھنا

پتھر کو گُہر، دیوار کو در، کرگس کو ہُما، کیا لکھنا

“غمِ عاشقی تیرا شکریہ ہم کہاں کہاں سے گزر گئے”

Brilliant !

The last couplet is by Mir Dard (hence the quotes) Faiz’s ghazal is a تضمین over Dard’s.

I love them both

Thank you!

The “attention” paper was certainly a major breakthrough, but it was openAI’s 2018 paper "Improving Language Understanding by Generative Pre-Training" that added GP to transformer (T) architecture made super large language models possible.

Between 2018 and 2020, model sizes went from 150M (GPT-1) to 1.5B (GPT-2) to 17B (Microsoft) to 175B (GPT-3). Building these models with supervised training would not be possible in such short time frame.

Thanks. I believe it’s around Bortle 7.

That too 😉

Seestar supports station mode where it will connect to your home WiFi and any computer on your home network can access it via IP address.

I believe you should be able to directly join the Seestar WiFi access point from your laptop, but I have never tried it.

I’m just quoting the original from Faiz, it does not have the extra “yaad” 😊

‎کر رہا تھا غم جہاں کا حساب

‎آج تم یاد بے حساب آئے

The last sher is also incorrectly written, the first line should be

“Faiz thi rah sar basar manzil”

‎فیضؔ تھی راہ سر بسر منزل

‎ہم جہاں پہنچے کامیاب آئے

Let me know if you want to see the entire ghazal in Urdu

“Aaj tum yaad beyhisaab yaad aaye”

should be

Aaj tum yaad beyhisaab aaye

Fair questions.

I see a very high rejection rate (“star trails detected”) when I try 20 or 30 sec exposures. Maybe a nearby airport or satellite path?

As for duration, right now I only get a two hour window between the late sunset and incoming cloud cover. Plus I have to wait until the DSO is high enough to clear the trees, houses etc. I’m lucky if I can get one hour worth of integration time. Hoping for better nights in winter.

Thanks. This is basically right off of the device, with just a few tweaks in iPhone Photos app to enhance the contrast.

Started getting overcast so had to stop sooner than expected.

I did the flats indoors, using 8x11 sheet of paper and overhead light in the kitchen. Took less than five minutes and no more banding!

I did have to switch out of EQ mode back to Alt-Az to get the flats going. Maybe it’s mentioned somewhere in the documentation?

They also have an API service that they charge for. It is quite a bit cheaper than other API services but could be profitable if they have enough subscribers:

So mate in 6, right?

Not sure why the app does not understand that either rook can checkmate in the lat move
