Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.
hank green has frankly been doing an admirable job navigating between the poles of "AI is fake and evil" and "brrrrr accelerateeee"

i spent two weeks on this so that y'all can learn about AURORA BOREALIS in 49 seconds
on the fifth day of Newtonmas.. oh never mind. i reused some old animations in this one see if you can spot em :)
the total streamed hours here is a bit over three years which means that at any given moment there are on average 3 people listening to an a capella science track on spotify
