@Talia There actually are a number of brands and tech firms working on #web3, #nft, and #metaverse#innovation in #fashion. But it’s definitely not front-of-house runway worthy at the moment and none of it really touches haute couture.
The PR may have cooled. But the development continues a pace, much more aligned with strategic business vision and goals. As a strategist, I think this is all good.
Students getting relief from onerous debt is unconstitutional.
But justices secretly getting hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in gifts, vacations, and free housing and education for their family members is just fine.
@rbreich While we're not the solution to the problem of young Americans seeking access to higher #education, we're humbly trying to be part of the solution. We're awarding five scholarships to young people interested in #STEM starting next year, 2024. Applicants will be selected from among the most enthusiastic young people who attend our summer camps.
@MarkRuffalo While we're not the solution to the problem, we're trying to be part of the solution. We've designed an antenna linked to a sensor capable of harvesting electromagnetic waves and converting them into electrical power. This will reduce the number of lithium-ion batteries in an electric car by a staggering 85%. An effective step towards reducing reliance on this highly polluting and unethical system for storing energy.
I don’t like to mention that rich guy over at #Twitter, but he’s rambling on about #ClimateChange & agriculture, which is in my wheelhouse. And he is also unabashedly & absurdly wrong.
Misinformation on climate change is irresponsible & dangerous, so let’s be clear:
25% to 30% of global emissions come from our #food system.
As UT Austin’s Michael Webber describes, agriculture is a major cause, victim and - importantly - meaningful solution to #climate change.

Morgen findet die sparkscon // Deutschlands größte Digital Experience Conference in Augsburg statt. Führenden Digitalexpert*innen Deutschlands greifen die wichtigsten Trends, Best Practices und Zukunftsthemen auf und knüpfen die Verbindung zwischen Technologie, Mensch und Design.
Daniel Höhr ist #Sustainability and #Innovation Advisor bei #SAP. Er spricht über die fünfte industrielle Revolution. Die ist im Einklang ökologisch UND ökonomisch.
Super excited to promote the #privacy champions at #RightsCon . All those privacy scholars and practitioners look great in those great big color glamour shots, and we're sure Costa Rica is beautiful this time of year!
Big thanks to all the great, privacy-conscious sponsors for making all this possible!
@vowe Es gibt Orte zwischen deutschen Universitäts-Großstädten, wo es auf der Hauptbahnstrecke kein funktionierendes Mobilfunknetz und kein WLAN im Zug gibt.
:BoostOK: For an article, I am looking for both philosophers and neuroscientists to address the concept of #understanding. The overarching theme is human versus artificial intelligence and questions like what role does understanding play in intelligence, what does it even mean (definition? How can you measure it?) and whether it is something uniquely human. Or is the feeling of understanding maybe just an illusion and nothing more than dealing with information and correlations? #AI#chatGPT
@NatureMC@evawolfangel
A good question, but an anthropocentric one. To define smartness not Darwinistic could open up a whole new way of thinking and acting not ecocidal. Smartness as technological #innovation has brought us to where we stand facing a multiple disaster of a burning, war torn world suffering from depleting ressources and life diversity. Smart could mean minimizing anything that overstretches the never adapted problems of metabolic bodies and externalization of fire. #pyrocene
> Zuckerberg declared in a March update that Meta's "single largest investment is advancing AI and building it into every one of our products." Meta's chief technology officer, Andrew Bosworth, told CNBC in April that he, along with Mark Zuckerberg and the company's chief product officer, Chris Cox, were now spending most of their time on AI.
@Natanox@FediThing@rysiek@intelwire something just popped in my mind reading the morgan thing, about how billionaires dont bring #innovation forward, but rather force it down our throats.
To get good outcomes, with #AI you have to provide a very precise, well-written ans detailed input of what you want. Garbage in, garbage out, they say.
Maybe in this way we can finally learn to do the same with real people and designers.
🦾 Arm announces the Cortex X4 for 2024, plus a 14-core M2-fighter
➥ @arstechnica
"Today an iPhone 14 Pro embarrasses Arm's best with 63 percent higher single-core scores in Geekbench compared to an X3-equipped Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Multi-core scores aren't great either, with the iPhone scoring 25 percent higher."
Do you want to take a random sample of your data in R?
Here are some examples of how you can use sample():
✔ Generate a random permutation of the elements of a vector.
✔ Select a random subset of a dataset.
✔ Generate a random sample of data for testing purposes.
✔ Create a bootstrap sample.
We should have a feature on Mastodon that lets us pick a topic for toots, this way we could federate with lemmy well as toots with the same topic would appear on lemmy as they were in the same sublemmy and vice versa. #mastodon#innovation#fediverse#boostsappreciated
#Innovation#PublicGood: "If ordinary citizens figure into the traditional innovation process at all, it is as unskilled labor or, increasingly, as raw material. This includes the human data that informs the ideation stage when problems are identified, potential solutions are formulated, and prospective markets are estimated. Later on in the innovation pipeline, potential users test newly developed technology and report their experiences, sometimes even putting themselves at risk in the process. All of these contributions, despite being necessary for innovation to function well, are devalued in the traditional model, subordinated to “real” technical work.
The standard model also paints innovation as a discrete, individual achievement—the work of a sole, usually male genius. Such narrow conceptions leave plenty out: think of the custodians who ensure that testing sites remain standardized, the spouses who make it easier for technical experts to work long hours, and the hourly laborers who ensure that repetitive yet crucial tasks are completed. In these ways, the standard model effectively erects a rigid boundary between innovators and laypeople, one that both reflects and reinforces existing social hierarchies. This arrangement creates problems for the substance of technological development. For one thing, it means that innovation is done only from a narrow perspective, missing the opportunity to encourage a broad range of viewpoints and concerns in the early stages of ideation, development, and design. Moreover, it devalues the abilities of those at the grassroots, who may lack specialized training and resources but who have a deep understanding of the problems they face—and often have clear ideas about how to solve them."
