Today my all-time favorite science discovery is 40 yrs old! My June 1, 1984 diary told me to "take pict." of "R30" on a 9 pm flight to London ... which is when I finally realized (2 yrs after first generating it) what a big deal rule 30 is...
Foundations of physics, mathematics, computing ... now biology! The ruliad is on a roll.... (Up next: machine learning ?)

They're the ruliad champions! The "busy beavers" of the (symmetric 3-color) cellular automaton world ... the rules that live longest before dying out...
[How does that rule "know" to die out after 2194 steps??]

Biological evolution. Machine learning. Why do adaptive processes actually work? Finally found what seems like a good minimal model for biological evolution....

In case you missed today's eclipse, there are always more to come (at least for the next few hundred million years).
Here's where the total eclipses will be for the next 100 years:

The eclipse from first principles: using the Wolfram Language (and its SolarEclipse[] function) to compute eclipses (and to analyze a couple of the eclipses I've seen)

How do we know precisely when the April 8 North American eclipse will happen? Well, it's a rather fascinating tale of science and computation---spanning more than 2000 years, and featuring many of the all-time greats of mathematics and physics...

Say it with Wolfram Language: a card deck's worth of traditional-tweet-length code nuggets that make a world of different images, some surprising, some artistic, some mysterious .... now available as Wolfram Code Cards

How do we know (exactly) when and where an eclipse (like the one coming up on April 8) will happen? I just published a small book that tells the story: an inspiring tale of science, mathematics and computation spanning more than two thousand years...

Just wrapped our 2024 Wolfram Winter School. I assumed in 11 days there'd only be time for studying ... but actually some students managed to do projects in physics, philosophy & more wolfr.am/1jnsTRS5I
In my day job ... the 36-year story continues: announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica! (Bringing to fruition lots of work, innovation, etc. + 300 hours of open livestreamed design sessions)

It's great to have so many muses out there ... thanks for all the encouragement/engagement/interest in 2023! It's been a productive year for me (4 books published, 222,000+ words posted, 230+ hours of livestreaming, ...)

Preparing for 2024 ... analyzing video I took at the 2017 eclipse. Here's the light curve I got. The dip is totality. Anyone know what the glitches up and down are? iPad exposure control? (They're too slow for shadow bands)
Yet another thing made possible by the multicomputational approach from our Wolfram Physics Project: aggregation and tiling as multicomputational processes

Yet more evidence of what can be done with computational language superpowers... Congratulations to our 2023 Wolfram Innovator Award winners!

Turns out expression evaluation is ultimately just like fundamental physics! Causal graphs, reference frames, recursion in space and time, branchlike conflicts, multiway evaluation, ... A new world of CS-meets-physics...

Hello, Bluesky. What should I post here? Maybe about the livestreams I do every day or two? Maybe about ongoing work I'm doing? Events I'm going to? Let me know what you think...
