An exciting free talk by past APS speaker Sally Hurst! This time she'll be discussing the opalised dinosaur fossils of Lightning Ridge. This is a free event!

Her November talk on the Found a Fossil project was fascinating, so I'm sure this one will be as well!

We've just published a community post showcasing the power of the OpenLink AI Layer (OPAL) in action. It includes Cello, an AI Agent prototype built using the EU's Virtuoso-based SPARQL endpoint.

Hello all! I was thinking about the recent #opal #Pixel_Dailies theme and compiled a few variants.

This will prob be my last art post for a while because I'm prepping to go to the Midwest Gaming Classic! I'm updating #TaiFab for a small cartridge run...

It seems like a fellow mineral lover took over the @pixel_dailies account for a couple days

#opal
#quartz

Day 6 of overestimating my artistic abilities. #opal @pixel_dailies

(Should sleep.)
(No. Pixels.)

I realized with simultaneous horror and delight that Opal's palette is a pretty good match for Maruki's "Blessing" palette. Let's gooooooo!

I had to bend to the pico-8 palette for the bg—I wasn't sure how to handle the bg when all five colors are background-adjacent. Hmm

An #opal golem.

When difficulty is increased by your own rules lol.. Kept overthinking it and made it worse, so it's back to the semi-rando approach in an attempt at capturing the nebulous colours you can find on an #opal #pixel_dailies @pixel_dailies

Today's #pixel_dailies theme is #opal.

Boom!

The OpenLink AI Layer (#OPAL) now supports more LLMs, including DeepSeek, DeepSeek-R1, and Alibaba’s Qwen, alongside OpenAI’s GPT, X.AI’s Grok, and Anthropic’s Claude.

With loose coupling powered by open standards, Agents like DataTwinger run across LLMs seamlessly—created entirely in natural language via Markdown!

Check your #Opal cards - ShittyRail appear to be on a covert revenue raising exercise. Trip from Strathfield to Central this morning cost me $18.70.

Opal v1.5.0 is out now!
