Here's a little spatial / tangible tool I made to explore an algorithm with my hands and eyes. I saw an error diffusion matrix on wikipedia and it looked vaguely like a circle, so I built this board game-inspired tool to feel out just how spatial it actually was. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vZc...

Everything is in the eye of the beholder. Even beholding is in the eye of the beholder.

My hot-take on indie-tech (which I am a big supporter of) is that "Prosocial" features are actually harmful. Voluntary communities are unable to coordinate effectively. Its not a tool problem, rather, people by default are not very good at coordinating. Corporations are good a coordinating, why?..

Remember when the internet wasn't awful? We can go back to that. Some friends and I have released the Resonant Computing Manifesto: a call to bring back such a time, to see if we can bring back a world where technology works for us, rather than against us. resonantcomputing.org

Because I could not help myself, me and @steveheist2.bsky.social estimated that this is roughly $270,000 in monitors … and $600,000 in monitor arms. bsky.app/profile/erni...

Ernie Smith@ernie.tedium.co · 10mo ago

Based on a quick check of Dell’s monitor page, I believe the monitors are the Dell Pro 24 Plus Monitors, which cost about $189 each. They assuredly got a bulk deal, but the monitors alone cost $270,000 www.dell.com/en-us/shop/a...

The Crowd (1928) features this office hellscape sequence and all I can think is "look at how much more space they had!"

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”
