I passed the Morse exam when I got my novice license, but I haven't started using Morse until recently.

Most operators recognize CQ without even knowing Morse. I have already learned a few more phrases just by hearing them, like "TEST", "DE", "PSE K", "BK", "BT", etc. Nevertheless, Iβ¦

Howdy! Happy Saturday everyone! As a solo founder, I have always tried to maximize my speed by letting coding agents build as much as possible in parallel. However, as an engineer, I don't trust that AI will always make the right decisions and work with the right context. In the past, I always needed to click through my sessions to glance at the AI's output, try to understand what it was doing, and hopefully steer it or stop it in time. As a result, the maximum number of concurrent sessions I could manage at once was only 4. I didn't want to be the bottleneck, so I built Meetless Agent (MLA).β¦

Astronomers have found stars that repeatedly skim past supermassive black holes, surviving each encounter while producing a new burst of light. In some systems, those flares mysteriously fade with every return. Researchers now think the key may be stars that were already spinning extremely fast before being captured. That rapid rotation could explain both the fading flares and how the stars ended up in such extraordinarily tight black hole orbits.
