Technology is worthless without the culture we build around it.

@miquai.bsky.social Currently in the zoom event. Would you consider enabling chat? Probably not common in academia, but in my art bubble I am used to chat with others about what is talked about. Feels like I am losing out on potential thoughts from participants. Thanks! :-)

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

Would love to hear more about your reasoning here!
As far as I understand we can't answer this question until we find the true nature of reality?

e.g. if it's a graph based fractal lattice that starts fully connected and breaks there might very well be a "center" from which the graph evolves.

subway ad that says "your idea could be live by the time you reach your stop"

as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.

Christina Koch’s facial profile backlit by Earth in the background, through the spacecraft window

So, to sum up, a couple of days ago Christina Koch became the first woman to see Earth in its entirety, and today – right now, in fact – she is the first woman to see the Moon up close, and the first woman to see the far side. 🥹

The answer put simple: cut out corporations

Ok I missed that the bright “star”
At the bottom right is Venus the first nine billion times I saw this picture.

Someone take away my PhD.

But also Earth and Venus in the same shot! 😮

As a start an NFC based private key exchange (similar to credit cards) and then a p2p e2e encrypted data exchange layer. Lay the foundation for mesh networks, include NAS for more uptime.

Everyone is trying to optimise something.

But what do you optimise for if you want to optimise optimising?

asteroidblock asteroidblock is a web-based, interactive, atmospheric pad synthesizer which queries NASAs asteroid API, using live proximity data to throttle initial parameters of the synth.

Nice! I've shared the invite on our producer discord. There are already many cool projects in the space (m4l devices to modulate sounds based on orbits, or this synth asteroidblock.aagentah.tech) but I think there is a massive potential to make science feelable through art.

The problem was never missing development resources. We are in desperate need of a social upgrade that helps us identify what needs to be built in the first place.

hey @miquai.bsky.social, do you know if one is supposed to receive a registration confirmation?
So far I haven't gotten anything in my email

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

APIs will become more important as the web deteriorates in quality and getting reliable and trustworthy data becomes more important.

But it's only a matter of time until a low level p2p API stack for data exchange will replace our current internet.

I'll pose this question.

Explain how allowing a small number of people to own and profit from essential resources everyone has to use like Energy, Water and Healthcare can ever be beneficial to the majority.

I believe there is a lot of potential to communicate scientific topics through art and make them feelable for everyone. 🙏

Everything monetized is a grift these days.

We need an internet that builds its trust by design on connections between real people. Onto this trust based relational layer we can then add a unified knowledge and service layer.

Wikipedia Bans AI-Generated Content “In recent months, more and more administrative reports centered on LLM-related issues, and editors were being overwhelmed.”

New: Wikipedia has officially banned AI-generated content. After months of heated debate and previous attempts to restrict the use of LLMs, volunteer editors accepted a new policy that prohibits using them to create articles for the online encyclopedia

Do you think AI could be instructed / fitted to be the best teacher ever?

I would love to learn programming with a personal IDE based tutor.

The advancements of LLM technology show clearly that development resources were never the problem. It's always been about finding meaningful problems to solve.

would be the dream and make it super immersive.

Yeah, like that!
I produce music and work on a live performance. We write a script, record the narration & then produce tracks with it. Goes from Ambient to Peak Time Techno, runtime 12-24 hours.

Having some kind of generative visuals to throw up and then mapping around it with madmapper/resolume

amazing stuff! let me wanna know if you want to collaborate for some audio reactive generative visuals 🙏🙏

claiming that most people aren't capable of critical thinking has a neo-capitalistic arrogance to it.

It blatantly ignores that most people haven't gotten the education and social security to develop their skills and potential.

I'd suggest advocating for more social justice instead of judging.
