This article introduces a practical exercise to structure ethical discussion around emerging technology (i.e. AR/VR, BCI or avatars). Originally the work of @meshula, we iterated & expanded over the past few years and are happy to share it more broadly now blog.dimitridiakopoulos.com/…

I've been playing a lot of the ill-fated 2003-2011 Star Wars Galaxies MMO (SWG). Every year or so I would check up on the SWGEMU project and they seemed to be making good progress re-engineering the game's backend...

If you've made it this far, you can certainly tell I'm pretty excited that this dead MMO still exists in a playable state, complete with active player cities and guilds, and fueled with modern community-building through Discord.

If you never heard of SWG from "back in the day", this thread is probably not for you, but dang, wouldn't I love it if @raphkoster logged in one day to see all the people who desperately love one of the most unique MMOs ever designed.

Announcing p5.plotSvg — a new plotter-oriented SVG export library for @p5xjs! p5.plotSvg makes it easier than ever to generate vector files specifically tailored for pen-plotters like those from @bantamtools! github.com/golanlevin/p5.plo… #creativeCoding #generativeArt #plotterTwitter

Forged Steel Hoist Ring for Lifting
Black-Oxide, 1/2"-13 Thread Size, 7-5/8" Overall Height
$100.48 Each
2994T42
Great for lifting rocket engines and such.

Ok let's do some math:
Going off the forging marks, the proportions, and the black oxide coating, we can reasonably assume that the lifting eyes are McMaster PN 2994T42.
Based on this we'll establish a scaling factor of 1.85/1.5=1.23

The simple explanation is that i’m just getting old. Caught myself today deeply in the zone with a “early 2000s trance bangers” playlist.

Games were better in the 90s with full motion video cut scenes. Bring those back!

How do we understand pictures? This blog post explains key elements of perspective perception in art and photography, based on recent developments in human vision science and also computer graphics research. Based on my recent @ARVOJOV paper.

Hey SF people. Get some tickets for Wednesday night or Thursday night and get blasted with an amazing experimental show years in the making. Robotic cellos, spinning pianos, lighting installations, wild projections, and circus performers… all in one show. otherminds.org/other-minds-f…
