Built a Tide clock app inspired by how the moon's gravity pulls on the oceans. Check it out if you spend any time by the water! This pet project was either super late for last summer or super early for next 🤣 apps.apple.com/us/app/ebb-an…
New changes to IG Search coming! So proud of this team. theverge.com/2021/8/25/22641…
Really inspiring to see how sophisticated the vision and learning systems on the Skydio drones have become. Great talk @adampbry and @hmartiros! youtu.be/ncZmnfIRIWE
This tweet that links to itself is so meta and clever. Here’s how it was done (without an edit button!): oisinmoran.com/quinetweet – at Brooklyn, NY
Excited to share a bit of what our team has been up to this last year! It's been amazing seeing IG Search grow up from mostly a people directory into a new kind of Visual Search utility.
Great book of interesting science fiction stories — particularly liked the one exploring quantum entanglement and this one: Exhalation a.co/ekPUM6Y
Version 2.0 of Jude Fractal Explorer is out! Now with fine grained color controls and better tools for exploring the full space of the Julia set! apps.apple.com/us/app/jude-f…
I've always loved exploring fractals from the Julia Set. It's amazing the richness that can be created from a simple equation z = z^2 + c. Today I'm releasing an iOS app that lets you make beautiful fractal lock screen images. Jude - Fractal Explorer apple.co/2r2wlNO

We've trained an unsupervised language model that can generate coherent paragraphs and perform rudimentary reading comprehension, machine translation, question answering, and summarization — all without task-specific training: blog.openai.com/better-langu…

Great article on the Apple Watch health strategy. Love the vision of far more personal medical devices creating orders of magnitudes more data for ML. cc @DrBenBearnot steveblank.com/2018/09/26/th…
Wrote a little Processing script for generating Penrose tilings -- these things are so fascinating! github.com/metablake/penrose

This photographer used telescopic lenses and an ultra-fast 1,000 frames/second shutter speed to capture the towers and troughs of foam-flecked seawater during Storm Imogen in February of 2016.
