Study finds Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ matches July 1889 sky

Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” sky matches that of a date in July 1889, according to new research. The iconic painting has conventionally been dated from a letter the artist wrote to his brother, Theo, around June 18 that year. But experts say the waning gibbous moon of that period can’t account for the slender crescent in the painting. A new study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, finds that the sky in the painting matches, in both observation and shape, the predawn sky over Van Gogh’s then home in Saint-Remy, France, around July 22, 1889. It featured a waning crescent moon, Venus and the Hyades star cluster — all within the painter’s field of view, according to the first astronomical re-examination of the painting in four decades.

Some Memories of Early Anthropic — LessWrong

The following events took place between October 2022 and May 2023. I wrote very little of this down at the time so am recalling from memory, and am rendering the gist of the dialogue rather than the exact words used. I’ve also swapped some pronouns and other personal identifiable details. After lunch one of the co-founders pulls me into his office for a wide-ranging, casual chat about how to make AI go well. It’s very fun - he’s smart, personable, funny, urbane. “The government won’t do anything about AI until it’s far too late”, I opine at one point. “Our strategy has to rely on the market and on civil society.” He leans forward, his gaze hardening. “You’re wrong there. There are people in Washington - the serious people, you know - watching all this very closely. I speak to them regularly. They trust me.” In retrospect, that was the moment I decided to join. “Would you like to pledge…
