25week06 - Quantum foam and animated postcards

Muybridge

Someone has a problem with animated postcards. And flip-books. Or any other physical approach to bring pictures to life.

Quantum foam↗

[..] at this small scale, particles of matter and antimatter are constantly created and destroyed.

I found this interview↗ with Tobias Rees by Nathan Gardels to be way too optimistic from my personal current AI views. Yet it has a lot of good points worth taking a look at.

Some people say AI has “only” pattern recognition. But I think pattern recognition is actually a form of discovering the logical structure of things. Roughly, when you have a student who identifies the logical principles that underlie data and who can answer questions based on these logical principles, wouldn’t you call that understanding? […] So in that sense, AI systems have a nascent sense of truth.

If one wants to fall into an endless knowledge rabbithole, without the disgust sensation of doomscrolling, it is always good to visit the List of lists of lists↗

25week05 - Knowledge distillation and animation recs

Company A sucked the entire human knowledge without paying a dime to its creators, and built its wealth with it.
Using the knowledge distillation↗ technique, Company B sucked the entire knowledge from Company A↗ and didnt pay a dime to Company A.
Company A complaint that Company B didnt pay to them.
We all should grab a big pack of popcorn and enjoy it at least for today.

Anyway, let’s focus on one of my favourite magics in this world; animation:

Lately I was reading the Nutrition↗ section from Grimgrains, this site populated by the wizards Hundred Rabbits↗

Out there, I visited the Braun-Sammlung Ettel Museum für Design↗ in Moabit. Apart from the vast collection of industrial design objects, my mind was blown by the idea behind it; just an individual collector who decided to open his studio to anyone interested in Braun products. When I visited it, I saw him having coffee in a small part of the studio with his friends while visitors were taking a look at the collection. Looks like a cool plan for retirement times.

Webcams suck, so f4mi built her own

f4mi↗ is this creative mind throwing absolutely gems to the internet. Probably most known by her videos usually related to 00’s tech and hacking vibes projects. The entry title is from this time she built her own webcam↗ but just make sure to follow her brain. Highly recommend joining her Discord server↗ as well.

25Week03 - Evil meta, k-punk and online countercoulture

250119

After Meta announced that it will allow users call LGTBQ+ people “mentally ill”, now its deleting posts with links to the decentralized competitor Pixelfed. Siren Servers against humanity, once again.

˙

Found myself digging further about Mark Fisher↗ and his acclaimed blog k-punk↗ Go for it if you find radical politics and music within your interests.

˙

A vast collection of Kaomojis↗ (Japanese Emoticons); the best emojis.

Alway a good time to remind that The internet didn’t kill counterculture—you just won’t find it on Instagram↗ Go look for those Discord channels you like, engange in communities, start your own site.

Easy entry point for the most famous philophers and their theories: Action Philosophers↗

Nonetheless, my fav is still Existential Comics↗ impossible to beat that one.
