Even if you don't have a telescope or binoculars, you can still enjoy naked eye star gazing. The book that got me started and which I highly recommend: The Stars: A New Way to See Them by H. A. Rey https://en.wikipedia.or

I don't care to start a debate about who first invented television when, but I remember hearing (conformed by wikipedia [1]) that Leon Theremin, inventor of the musical instrument named after him, demonstrated mechanical television at

Making AI companions is becoming a widespread little hobby project. Many have created them and shared instructions on how to do it. My preference would be to use local resources only (say, with ollama), they can even be made with voice re

I'd be more concerned about just slop, whether AI or human created. And the fact that Youtube content is overwhelmingly slop - regardless of creator type - is not news at all.

And yet, penny dreadful editions and pulp magazines that existed before pocket books... did they have the same effect? Or did they only produce pocket book writers?

I know someone pursuing a degree in meteorology at well known university for the subject and I asked that person if they are being taught about these and other AI weather models, about how they work, how to evaluate them for effectiveness,

I remember my grandmother saying that Peanuts characters look like children but spoke like adults and that was what she liked. Apparently, kids saying "good grief" was unheard of back in that time, as were kids generally being di

Cool! Reminds of the Music From Outer Space synth in which the designer makes the claim that it "can actually get a child away from a television" and includes a video to prove it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i

On the subject of walls... Cortez reported seeing a wall blocking off an entire valley on his way to Tenochtitlan. One source reported the wall was 6 miles long, and yet it seems to have disappeared without a trace. And yet, Both the Lon

Same here, and I've lived very close to their location for... well, decades now and had no idea this existed. Maybe one reason is that you can't just walk in. "If you wish to see the collection, we can arrange an appointment

To be fair, in the video TED talk by Genevieve von Petzinger, she does not claim these are "writing", instead calling the symbols "graphic communication". So not a language, much less writing, but still conveying a shar

"Computer Music" is a very broad term (no surprises here) so, like many here, I can point out topics that are not covered. In particular, computer music (aka algorithmic) composition [1], or very recent AI techniques like the Goo

Thanks for posting, will have to try it out later. I hope it works with my HP Reverb through Windows MR and/or Steam VR. Re: pedagogy. Here is an anecdote. The very old Java game linked below is a 4d puzzle where players would hav

Cool! TFA is not clear on how the slides and audio would be triggered from the teletype though. I've never heard of any application from that era doing this. Also, who else wants to see the (lost) game source code in APL?

I don't want to detract in the slightest from this fantastic app (I will be getting it shortly), I just want to point out another set of Chess puzzles for folk like me that enjoy this stuff. Check out the World Champs app, it has puzz

I watched all the ads, just at 100x speed. It doesn't work anymore - RIP the Ad Accelerator - but I could use it guilt free knowing the ads were watched and google collected their money https://github.com/rkk3/ad-

As best I can tell from a gloss-over read, it doesn't use anything like the Minimax algorithm. Astute readers are aware that one of the first applications of Minimax was in an AI chess program designed by Claude Shannon. https:/

Cool! I'd love to tinker with this and see about adapting it to other perfect information games. If you have any suggestions (or warnings) before I do this, please let me know!.
