Au détour de la démonstration d'une énième plateforme alimentée par l'IA permettant de rédiger rapidement des commentaires sur LinkedIn (ouais, ouais) a ressurgi dans ma tête la question de la fabrique du doute.
La Fabrique du doute, c'est la remise en cause systématique des informations qui nous parviennent, cette saturation d'images retouchées ou générées qui fait qu'il devient impossible d'avoir la certitude qu'une chose est réelle.
Et la plateforme présentée hier m'a bousculé : comment désormais être certains que ces personnes que je connais, me répondent vraiment ? Non pas douter de leur existence, mais savoir qu'aucune IA ne s'exprime à leur place ?
Since #YoMos is not on Mastodon, you will get the advertisement from me :D if you are a #Bachelor/ # Master/ #PhD level student of #ecological#modelling or you supervise any, this is perfect! You get to present your project in a conference-like setting, but your audience are your peers! Big bonus for #mathematical modelling this year: The awesome @KorinnaAllhoff will give a keynote, and I will probably give a workshop on #pattern#formation in #networks!

Spent the afternoon in my #sewing room, making a pattern out of an existing pyjama top for my wife. I still need to trace out the sleeve, but I’m happy with my progress so far. Slow but steady. @sewing
Made progress on tracing out the sleeve to make a #sewing#pattern today. First, tracing along the seam lines with a needle point tracing wheel… @sewing
Once the patterns are cut, I mark #sewing details/info on the #pattern (grainline, seam allowance, piece name, etc.) as needed.
I use a Curve Runner 8” rotary rolling ruler to measure the length of the sleeve curve so I can mark front & back notches at the exact half-way points. (The front & back pieces have these marked at exactly halfway too.)
Once the halfway points are marked, I space the two back notches exactly ¼” away from the centre mark so they end up ½" away from each other. @sewing
Once the #pattern is done, I create reinforced holes in the pattern pieces so they can be hung. This is usually when I’ll also create #sewing instructions (in the iPhone/iPad Notes app) for anything that isn’t obvious.
I don’t create a pattern piece for knit collars, since it’s just a small rectangle more accurately cut out with a quilting ruler, but mostly because I vary the collar piece length (using a formula) depending on how much stretch is in the fabric. @sewing
Making patterns like this is so personally satisfying and calming, my wife has said I've missed my calling as a wallpaper designer. Suffice to say I felt firmly in my wheelhouse making this recursive pattern for #genuary17 (Inspired by Islamic Art).
Discute di un concetto per me non nuovo, ma applicato ad un #retrogame per #Atari, #YarsRevenge. In pratica, il #gioco usa parte del suo codice per generare #pattern sullo schermo con un’#entropia abbastanza alta da sembrare #random, e creare effetti visivi interessanti. 🎇
Sarebbe definibile #quine, se non fosse che non è completo… manca una parte non trascurabile del #codice macchina, e anche per questo a conti fatti, anche se in teoria è possibile, nella pratica non si può realisticamente recuperare l’intero #programma semplicemente guardando cosa viene mostrato a schermo nella cosiddetta #NeutralZone. 🧱
Questo tipo di roba, ossia la visualizzazione di #dati in modi “non adatti”, mi intriga sempre. Non so perché, ma escono sempre effetti sensoriali unici quando si prendono dati #binari e li visualizzano direttamente per vie multimediali. In questo caso, c’è tanto da analizzare in una vista del genere, e perciò il video è #intrigante. 🪬
“#Kill judges. Behead #judges. Roundhouse #kick a judge into the concrete," read a #post on a fringe website. "Slam dunk a judge's #baby into the trashcan."
