I do not forgive. Nor forget. and if anything radicalized me on topics like free software and digital rights, then it is this story. Kid just wanted taxpayer funded researchpapers to be free and publicly available.

Ohh what a surprise, there is huge potential for performance and energy optimization by switching to different program languages... (wonder what would happen if we abandoned python....) www.infoq.com/news/2025/06...

Reminder: Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically all genetic tech today, was only possible because of extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. #science 🧪 www.richmondscientific.com/how-a-discov...

DL just around the corner! Apply by May 15 if you're interested in advancing research on theory translation and games

Really interesting work from @oulasvirta.bsky.social and colleagues, demonstrating that the effect size of cognitive abilities is comparable to that of previous experience when using every day user interfaces. How did this paper slip by me for 4 months: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Based on 143 responses, the SNES DSP rate averages 32,076 Hz, rising 8 Hz from cold to warm. Warm DSP rates go from 31,965 to 32,182 Hz, a 217 Hz range. Therefore, temperature is less significant. Why? How does it affect games? We do not know. Yet. See docs.getgrist.com/fpwWkqDcnxXR... for more.

Women’s rights do not advance on their own. They are won through persistence and can easily be lost without vigilance.

People always look weird at me when I tell them that my PhD mostly is based on the premise that mobile phones would contain projectors one day. And after the long forgotten Samsung Galaxy Beam 1 and 2, they are finally back :-D www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4XN...

Okay sorry for that, what we really can learn from it, is that by creating hype you can get people to adopt your censorship easily: www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

So what is there really to learn from DeepSeek's work? It does not matter how many billions of infrastructure you invest but how you use the available infrastructure! So is massive spending actually still relevant? Is the US's Stargate project really needed?

Aalto University made the Nokia Design Archive available, what a treasure trove of 90s and early 00s designs, love it! nokiadesignarchive.aalto.fi

Really interesting perspective on the potential impact of GenAI on Design work. I particular agree with their perspective on the influence of managerialism on Design work and the how Design Thinking has not done the profession a service... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
