If you see, read or hear something interesting, usefull or just plain cool, please post it here. I'll start with this very interesting TED talk that updates the old left/right brain theory along with a very cool animation.
Like so: http://www.ted.com/talks/iain_mcgilchrist_the_divided_brain.html :)
-
No interest then? I was really hoping on some fascinating stuff from you guys as well. I mean, I like making pancakes swedish style as much as the next guy, but sometimes I need something to fall asleep to as well. ;D
Here's another really cool animation series that explains geometry and how to get a better understanding of higher dimensional forms. It's all presented beautifully in easy to understand Flatland style. I find this stuff exceptionally interesting, and beautiful if nothing else, I hope you do too!

Had no time to watch it yet. Will do it within the next days I'll promise!

Nothing from me while the F1 Grand Prix was on! I don't think that's the sort of thing you wanted in response though :)
-
see something cool
An Aston Martin being towed away for illegal parking.., :bfuck2:
-
I'm told the downforce of F1 cars is so powerful they could theoretically drive upside down, makes me wish the Red Bull Challenges would spice it up a bit! :)
@ tykel
Ouch! :)

Just watched the video ... tremendous and shocking (at the end) talk. Like it a lot. Thanks for sharing!

I was reading some posts about Steve Jobs.. Sad that someone else succumbed to Cancer, an awful disease, but I couldn't understand why the whole world mourned the loss of a very rich man who stopped all philanthropic activities of his company, to me he was a great marketing man but not one of my idols..
I started looking over the net while I should have been coding and found some interesting things, two of them stuck out to me, one is this excellent page on Dennis Ritchie, the true genius who's technology was used by apple, who died with barely a mention;
http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/index.html (http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/index.html)
And I wonder if you've ever heard of Jonas Salk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonas_Salk) Who invented the polio vaccine and could have been an overnight billionaire but refused to patent his discovery which meant that his vaccine could be cheaply produced and led to the virtual eradication of this awful disease, with all it's money maybe Apple could make a similar difference to the world, but maybe I'm missing the point of capitalism. :P
-
People seem to idolise Jobs, like some kind of rock star or movie star. Everything I've read about him seems to indicate he was a bit of a shit person. That probably sounds a bit harsh, but I think it's true.
I doubt Ritchie or Silk were concerned about being revered as god like beings. As for Dennis Ritchie, there was certainly enough awareness of his passing in circles such as ours and I think most of us probably hold him in much higher regard than Steve Jobs. Polio ceased to be a problem for us thankfully, and the average person probably has no idea what UNIX or C is, which I think is the reason for so little coverage.
I have no idea who invented peanut butter, pesto, elastic or the computer mouse (which are some of my favourite things in the world). Maybe we should all take a moment now and again to appreciate the people who brought about the things in life we love so much, or the things that stop our pants and socks falling down...
-
Meaby we should idolise the inventions instead of the inventors. This is a slightly unpopular view perhaps (in my own opinion as well) but I'm honestly starting to doubt free will exists at all...
I mean all systems that make up our thought are well acounted for, biochemistry, electricity etc. These systems behave in a predictably similar way, every time. An electric charge (in our brain for example) always follows the way of least resistance, a chemical substance (in our body for example) always behaves the same in the context of other chemicals. There really is no room for free will within these systems at all. Our last hope might hide somewhere at sub-molecular level...
This reminds me of Waking Life, a highly philosophical movie about consiousness. It's rotoscoped nature might bring about some motion sickness but makes for some fantasic effects as well. It's quite slow at times, but 2nd to none in terms of food for thought... Touches on many of the most fascinating subjects regarding consiousness.
You can view it entirely on Google videos (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7583894250854515095), the bit that concerns free will can be found at 27:25.

An electric charge (in our brain for example) always follows the way of least resistance
I'm no biologist, but that statement isn't quite correct.
If there are two paths for a current to follow, and one path has 1/9 the resistance of the other path, then 90% of the current will flow along the path of least resistance, and the remaining 10% will flow along the path of most resistance.
-
I really enjoyed the browser intro and the ASD seminar! :updance:
If there are two paths for a current to follow, and one path has 1/9 the resistance of the other path, then 90% of the current will flow along the path of least resistance, and the remaining 10% will flow along the path of most resistance
Thanks for the correction, but that doesn't really change anything. Point is the behaviour of the entire system can be predicted with 100% acuracy, how does free will figure into that?
-
Cool browser intros and that ASD seminar was great! Watching the rest of them too now :)

OMG... not THAT please!!!... to my eyes this is like :boxer: the worst of nightmares come true! :/ A totally overpriced PC hardware with C64 appearance! ("Amiga" lineup coming soon... :telloff: )
I really can't stand that product lineup... it utterly betrays the concept led by Jack Tramiel back then "Computers for the masses, not the classes!" ... without real improvment above a standard linuxbox than a customized window manager and custom shape...... sorry pal, I'm from the old days and this totally makes me feel angry! This kind of things steals $$$ from nostalgic feelings, no way!
PS: nothing personal slinks, that just my personal POV... peace!
-
I was talking about the software, not the hardware. Granted it's nothing special, but the idea of any computer manufacturer offering that many programs in the main package makes for a nice change.
Hardware is obviously an over-priced case with a very standard computer in it :(

How Googles self driving car works (http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/artificial-intelligence/how-google-self-driving-car-works)
It's interesting that traffic would be a lot safer with todays autonomous driving systems already, but until the accident rate is down to absolute 0% no company is likely to bring it to market. The 0.001% that does experience a car accident caused by some AI is right to sue.

Looks very interesting Kirl. It's a bit of a hefty read, so I'll save it for bed tonight :)
I would certainly love one. I can't park a car properly to save my life! haha

There are a few playlist categories which are all equally interesting.

http://www.zeit.de/datenschutz/malte-spitz-data-retention/
On this site you can follow 6 months of the life of Malte Spitz who sued his phone company to hand over the data they collected on him. The 2006 EU data retention directive says Phone Companies and Internet Providers should store all your network data for at least 6 months (up to 2 years).
He made his begotten phone data available online and interactive so you can play around with it and see just how closely all of us can be monitored, tracked, traced and probed like livestock. Combine this with a persons internet behaviour and you know privacy is an illusion, the people with acces to this data know more about you then your closest friends ever will...
Welcome to the brave new world of data collection and retention! :bfuck1:
I found it through his TED talk (http://www.ted.com/talks/malte_spitz_your_phone_company_is_watching.html) where he talks about this.

That was really quite scary Kirl. I knew this stuff goes on, but it's not until it's illustrated like this that you really see the full scope of how the information can be used. I'm sure the "If you're not doing anything wrong, you've got nothing to hide" brigade would consider me paranoid, but they'd probably also object to having the world watching them have sex with their wife, which kinda destroys their argument :)
-
Not to mention the metadata of all that info together (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveillance_state). You can see the structure of a society, who the leaders are and their sphere of influence. In his talk he also mentions the berlin wall and how differently that might've worked out if everybody had a mobile phone att... :-\

On a much much brighter note: Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/)! :updance:
You can follow entire university courses (Princeton, Stanford et al), including assignments and exams (and a place to ask questions) on a wide range of wildly interesting topics (algorithms, cryptography, machine learning, parralel programming etc etc).

I have been playing fold-it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foldit) on and off lately. I'm sure some of you know Folding@HOME for PS3 or PC, they made a puzzle game out of it, combining the raw processing power of Computers with the intuition and smarts of humans.
The goal is to find better folding configurations for known proteins and possibly in the long run to educate designers to develop future proteins from scratch. I also really enjoy learning what all the various balls and sticks mean in an interesting interactive manner.
They already had some great results solving several real world scientific problems. Would be great to see this included in the PS4 as freebie too. :)

Quite an interesting topic over on Pouet net linking to an article about the democoder IQ and how he pulled of some amazing visuals to the Pixar Film - Brave, by using an oldskool approach. I've always loved Pixar Films.

Awesome, I always admired Pixar for their 3d excellence (I made this spoof once (http://kirl.nl/picview_pixrl.html)) and used to read everything I could about how they solved certain technical issues. I still have an amazingly interesting presentation of a SIGGRAPH talk from a pixar employee about where the eyes are lead and how to controll attention with a bunch of very simple tricks.
Really enjoyed the article, thanks for posting! :)

Wow, great stuff! Back when cloth physics for Cinema4d came out, somebody on the 3d forums posted a really cool car crash example by giving the cloth a very high stiffness value. It was like magic to see it used like that! Sold me on physics, as this one plugin could be used to simulate convincing jelly, metal and cloth behaviour.
It's really cool to think that programming this sort of stuff doesn't seem nearly as impossible as it appeared back then. :)
-
Yeah true ... even just the first cloth animation I saw in my life was so stunning.
Really looking forward to see those physics in a actual game.

Check out this awesome sneaker projection demo ( http://vimeo.com/51276780 ). I got into contact with an old classmate who started a company projecting stuff on buildings/angled surfaces.
Buildings are only feasable for commercial projects, but smaller objects like a shoe or a pile of boxes are possible without funding. The shoe was a demo on BYOB (Bring Your Own Beamer), some kind of projection demo event. I'm trying to think of some cool stuff to do with this. Would love to hear your ideas if you got some!
Some sort of tent with an interactive 360 plasma projected all around would be really trippy! 8)

Consider this, there is now a man made washing machine standing all alone on a rock of about 2~5 km across at a distance of about 500 million km from earth!

Guy of strange origin went to a shop today.
I've glanced him standing by those cold drinks.
He glanced behind, left and right - too see if there's someone on lookout.
Took drink.
Opened it.
Drank it.
Closed it.
Put it back.
That's a hack.
