How Did TVs Get So Cheap?
A 50-inch TV that would have set you back $1,100 at Best Buy during Black Friday 2001 now costs less than $200, and the price per area-pixel – a metric accounting for both screen size and resolution – has dropped by more than 90% over the past 25 years. The story behind this decline is largely one of liquid crystal display technology maturing from a niche product to a mass-manufactured commodity.

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Nah it’s more like there’s a lot of repeated code, because when you go from source language to intermediate representation to machine code, well you just end up writing a lot of the same patterns over and over again. I need to dedupe this I think.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @kiwu@twtxt.net it just so happens to be a happy coincidence that I’m extending mu’s capabilities to now include a native toolchain-free compiler (doesn’t rely on any external gcc/clang or linkers, etc) that lowers the mu source code into an intermediate representation / IR (what @movq@www.uninformativ.de refers to as “thick layers of abstractions”…) and finally to SSA + ARM64 + Mach-O encoder to produce native binary executables (at least for me on my Mac, Linux may some later?) 🤣

Major AI Conference Flooded With Peer Reviews Written Fully By AI
An analysis of submissions to next year’s International Conference on Learning Representations has found that roughly one in five peer reviews were fully generated by AI, a discovery that came after researchers including Carnegie Mellon’s Graham Neubig grew suspicious of feedback on their manuscripts that seemed unusually verbose and requested n … ⌘ Read more

10 Representations of Death from Myth, Legend, and Folktale
Death is one of humanity’s oldest mysteries—universal, inevitable, and endlessly interpreted. Across time and culture, people have tried to make sense of what comes next by giving death a name, a face, or even a personality. Sometimes it’s a cloaked skeleton with a scythe, sometimes a beautiful queen ruling a frozen underworld, and sometimes a […]

Naked objects
Was browsing Strvct and saw the link to Naked Objects. It resonated with the repost of VPRI’s Steps report: creating a world of domain objects with a tangible, interactive representation and transparent storage.

Ignite Realtime Blog: REST API Openfire plugin 1.7.1 released!
Moments ago, we’ve released version 1.7.1 of the Openfire REST API plugin. This version fixes changes to the API (notably the JSON representation of some entities) that inadvertently sneaked into the 1.7.0 release. The API in 1.7.0 should closely resemble that of releases prior to 1.7.0!

The updated plugin should become available for download in your Openfire admin console in the course of the next few hours. Alternative … ⌘ Read more

Diversity, inclusion, and belonging at GitHub in 2021
In the past two years, GitHub has doubled in size, welcoming more than 760 new Hubbers in 2021 alone. This past year we particularly focused on our goal of making GitHub more equitable. We saw growth in our diversity representation, whose population increased at a higher rate than the company itself. ⌘ Read more

I was on a call this evening discussing various redistricting proposals. Some dude seriously asserted that over-representation by Multnomah county in regional politics might lead to… genocide. 😳

seize the means of representation

This, except unironically: https://makefrontendshitagain.party/ ; interfaces ought to be rich & individual representations of the underlying models, unless people are required/forced to use them, in which case all formatting should be able to be stripped automatically.

People become what they can imagine becoming, & access to tools has as much to do with this as representation. If it’s easy to fall into programming accidentally, then it’s easy to imagine yourself programming regularly.

Conspiracy theories are the result of the same legibilitization process described in ‘Seeing Like a State’: it replaces actual mechanism with a simpler one & drops details that don’t fit, for the sake of ease of representation

Hot take: the existence of garden path sentences tells us that: 1) language isn’t so much a representation of meaning as a way of representing constraints for possible intepretation, and 2) we start processing before all the constraints have arrived
