At 4DV.ai, we are working on 4D video creation, playing and editing tools based on Gaussian Splatting. We envision 4D video to be the future of visual media and ultimate medium for immersive storytelling.

This shit is gonna make me cry, man. I gotta fucking read this guy’s book.

Did you know that philanthropy actually sucks? And that relying on money from billionaires to fund science just keeps us locked in the systems that make things so bad?

This is my second year playing the C=tar live at Wood Chip Fest, a small 8-bit music festival in Denmark.

Just as the last time, a regular C64 plays the accompaniment in the form of special karaoke-versions of my SID tunes. Both this machine and the C=tar are equipped with SIDFX modules that allow me to select between the old and new version of the SID chip; this is why the sound output is taken from a custom 3.5 mm jack rather than the normal A/V port. The C=tar is also connected through an off-the-shelf effect pedal, a delay, on the floor.

This time I’ve reinforced the touch sensors for outdoor use, which seems to have taken care of the random warbling glitch from last year.

Multi-language programs are ubiquitous and language designers have long been designing programming languages to support interoperability. We’ve had platforms such as .NET, JVM, and COM that facilitate interoperability, and languages such as Scala, F#, SML.NET, and many more that treat it as a central design feature. In a 2007 paper, Matthews and Findler pointed out that most multi-language research was focused almost exclusively on how to implement interoperability efficiently and not on the quite subtle semantics of these features. They presented a multi-language semantics framework that gives language designers a methodology for taking two languages, adding interoperability boundaries between them, and giving an operational semantics to those boundaries. I’ll describe the mechanics of multi-language semantics, how they support reasoning about the behavior of mixed-language programs, and discuss the impact that this tool has had in the last 15 years […]

The United States is the best at soft power. Everyone’s wearing our blue jeans and listening to our rock music. America is the envy of the world: all other nations wish they were us, and we are happy to share our glory and superior way of life with them. That’s why everyone loves us.

Right?

Or is there something more to that notion? What comes first, the soft power influence, or the hard power coercion? Can speaking softly work without the threat (and gratuitous use) of the big stick? Let’s find out together.

One that actually brings men and women together.

Featuring Louise Perry.

I was surprised to find myself nodding along with pretty much everything the host and guest said. They were both cooking. So many good quotes to chew on in here.

One criticism I have of the more individualistic feminist position is that if you think that rape is a product of propaganda, shall we say, consent workshops are no match for pornography. Just think of the hundreds of hours that a typical teenage boy might be exposed to pornography, compared with 30 minutes of a consent workshop. I mean, there’s no match. / Just on that basis, we’re at a disadvantage, and Dworkin and MacKinnon’s position on banning pornography makes a lot more sense.

It’s perfectly normal and natural for people to have mostly homosocial kinds of friendships and to say vulgar or unkind things in private. But now, of course, the internet blasts this out into the public domain. I think that is part of the problem.
