Had the pleasure of visiting his sculpture in Manchester last month.
Bronze sculpture of a man sitting on a park bench. Embedded in the pavement in front is a gay pride flag.

Three years of not watching the news. I had been unhappy with the "Russia is doing war crimes in Ukraine we need to tell you all the details" and then the Israel attack happened and I just stopped. No hour long newscasts, no turning the tv to the CBC all news channel while I looked to see what ...

Experimenting with Bindless Textures in WebGPU
When WebGPU first shipped back in 2023, one of the biggest gaps that it had relative to its native counterparts was that it didn’t support bindless resources. Happily, WebGPU is on the cusp of support...

This ancient Greek figure from the 2,500 year-old Douris Cup looks uncannily like someone working on a laptop! 😲 💻 He’s actually writing with a stylus on a hinged wax writing tablet! The technology has changed, the posture has not! 😂 Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me
My photo shows detail from an ancient Greek red-figure kylix (drinking cup) of a young man shown in profile seated on a stool facing right. He wears a knee length cloak (himation) over his left shoulder, which is shown in folds around his waist and upper legs. His right shoulder, chest, and arms are bare. His dark hair is short, and he wears a band around his head. He is looking down at an open rectangular wax writing tablet which he is supporting in his left hand above his lap. In his right hand he holds a metal stylus pen poised over the writing tablet. The wooden writing tablet is hinged like a book and, from this angle, resembles a modern laptop. The figure is part of a scene depicting school lessons in ancient Athens, painted by Douris around 480 BC. On display at the Altes Museum in Berlin.

I’d say, we’re currently in the “1970s Hollywood” of AI. It can be easy (and cheap!) to produce things (code, tools, etc), but YOU have to be the ruthless editor. It’s the “miles of film” problem all over again.

Hard agree. See it through to the end. As a Slate plus member I enjoyed the eoisode-by-episode analysis on the Culture Gabfest "plus" episodes. Nothing like three smart culture critics talking about it. Shout out to @thehighsign.bsky.social : I appreciated your work and miss the Gabfest dearly.

I remember as a kid that for two years our Canadian TV Guide had US shows at the wrong time: an hour off. Like the US 11 o'clock news was at 10, for example.
