A licensed architect or SMEP can supervise unlicensed people, and yes they take the liability. That junior person, if they're put in a position to do any damage generally has a professional or pre-professional degree in the field. They

As and architect I wouldn't blame some of those GC's and engineers. We're an odd bunch.

Hi. Licensed architect here. I am absolutely all for further automation in the AEC sector. But if a licensed MEP used this I would report them to the state for violating the standard of care. Across the licensed professions in building desi

APL and its descendents don't have booleans, just 0 and 1 [0]. Which is awesome. It allows for bitmasks, sums / reductions, and even conditionals via Iverson Brackets. [1] [0] https://aplwiki.com/wiki/Boolean

Wasn't Arial designed to be very Helvetica-like but not having to be licensed? The C# / Java situation of typefaces as it were. Arial is the gateway drug to Helvetica. Pretty soon you're debating the relative merits of Johnst

It only changed in the mid to late nineties because they lost a lawsuit to the panda. I still wonder what would have happened if they instead settled to keep the acronym in return for giving massive PR to the World Wildlife folks. As in lik

This is excellent. I'm always looking for good things to show my students on coordinate systems and geometry, and this joins the list. Thank you for diving down the rabbit hole and bringing this back for everyone. If you want really gr

I'm a total nerd for cutaways. Nuclear Engineering Magazine ran cutaways of reactors, apparently from the fifties all the way to the nineties. https://gizmodo.com/these-vintage-cutaway-drawings-show-how-...

Ah yes, polyphasic sleep. Like the classic Seinfeld episode [0]. Inspired by this, a buddy of mine tried "DaVinci Sleep" at our residential high school, and lasted a week before he crashed for 20 hours and went back to a normal sc

Apologies for leading you astray at first. I couldn't find it FOR THE LIFE OF ME either. If you guys aren't already fans of In Our Time, I'm delighted to be the one to turn you on to it. It's the Liberal Arts education y

Ah, I guess I made up that it was The Constant... what I must have been thinking of is the episode on Lysenkoism by the legendary Melvyn Bragg on In Our Time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00bw51j

There's a great episode of the podcast The Constant about Lysenkoism. Definitely worth a listen. I can't find the link at the moment, apologies.

If we had gone the way of -1, 0, and 1 like some Soviet systems did this would be two "bits" Look I'm not a computer scientist, I admit this is naive. But for the thought experiment...

Eliot Noyes Sighting! One of the GOATS. Thanks for posting - there's so much awesome stuff here beyond his designs, but as an architect I gotta rep my man.

My summary when recommending it to others has always been that Mark has no dignity and Jez has no shame. This is a much longer (and well worth the read) development of basically that.

I've always meant to read more SCP [0], and specifically of qntm's anti-mimetics. (fnord) This seems like a complete re-work of the original [1]. So I may have to start here. It's exciting to see this come out from a major pu

It went viral more than a year ago, so maybe you've seen it. On the Ritual Industries instagram, Brian (the guy behind RI) posted a video where he gives voice instruction to his phone assistant, which put the text through chatgpt, whi

This is pretty rad. I'm surprised no one's made a CEEFAX replica for the terminal yet [0]. Their weather page is pretty iconic [1]. [0] There are CEEFAX Emulators online that pull from the BBC RSS feeds to do this. [1] https:&#x2

I constantly wonder why no one's talking about the fact that almost every movie with cgi visual effects looks awful these days? I was on a plane recently. One person in front of me had Wicked on, another the live-action Snow White, ano

Sure! I would humbly suggest that we don't go to movies to see -real- real life situations re-presented back to us. I mean, unless you have two comedic geniuses who can really sell yelling down the stairs to ask the partner what they w

I would suggest some shades of meaning on the Mencken quote. You're absolutely right that showing contempt for your audience will -absolutely- pave the road to losing money. In contrast if you -pander- to the lowest common denominator

That's all really insightful! I agree. I'm also much better now - not willfully disregarding things because just they're popular. I was a punk and indie rocker in the early 00's, so I was able to get that out of my syste
