The #player of the #future will have to be a #native #application. Now mainly because of #Apple and their #limitations. However, the new #bootloader version of the upcoming #RMusic app will already #handle #it. #HTTP #gateways for #IPFS unfortunately #amplify the #disadvantages of both #technologies. Nothing can be done about it.

Think about how #police will use these #glasses

“often a tendency to focus on the primary user and #design just for them. Because these #technologies are so deeply embedded in social interactions and are used with others and around others, we often forget these ‘onlookers’ and we’re not designing with them in mind”

Exoskeletons

Examine the world of #bionic #exoskeletons, exploring their workings, applications, and the transformative impact they have on the lives of individuals. In the grand tapestry of #human #progress, few threads are as vibrant and electrifying as the emergence of #futuristic #technologies. The realms of #artificialintelligence, #virtualreality, and #biotechnology beckon us toward a #future that teems with possibilities beyond our wildest #dreams.

"...that transition to a low #carbon future is not going to happen overnight. We need realistic options and #technologies that allow us to #decarbonize our existing #applications."

Too many insist that only "perfect" #ClimateChange mitigation solutions are worth pursuing.

I believe that doing Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is the *best*, imperfect, strategy for saving us from our ongoing #climate disaster.

By ever-improving "good" options, we can save ourselves.

It's sad that I have to explicitly state in this thread that, OF COURSE, my pushing for Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange mitigation solutions is for projects and #technologies that *actually* benefit the #environment, today, tomorrow, and, hopefully, long into the future.

I've never said that just doing anything is the answer, but that doing all that *works*, everywhere it can be done, starting now, is what we need.

📢#OutNow in #OA: '#Ethics of Socially Disruptive #Technologies: An Introduction', edited by Ibo van de Poel, Lily Eva Frank, Julia Hermann, Jeroen Hopster, Dominic Lenzi, Sven Nyholm, Behnam Taebi & Elena Ziliotti.

Technologies shape who we are, how we organize our societies and how we relate to #nature. For example, #socialmedia challenges #democracy; #artificialintelligence raises the question of what is unique to humans; and the possibility of creating #artificialwombs may affect notions of #motherhood and #birth. Some have suggested that we address #globalwarming by engineering the #climate, but how does this impact our responsibility to future generations and our relation to nature?

This book shows how technologies can be socially and conceptually disruptive and investigates how to come to terms with this disruptive potential.

Clearly, it's profit (data-driven and otherwise) and the protection of #police that are the only motivations for every #surveillance product on the market that works in any way with #LawEnforcement, or the state in any capacity.

Unfortunately the film tried to capture much more than its frame could hold, as it acknowledges at the end, so the connection of #surveillance to #eugenics is only briefly and lightly made, when that clearly undergirds all understanding and use of such #technologies.

Today is #InternationalDayForWomenAndGirlsInScience #WomeninSTEM #WomenInScience, and I'd like to take the opportunity to introduce you to a couple you may not know.

Dr @eltwilliams is a Senior Lecturer at #ANU's School of #Cybernetics, and originally trained in #nuclear #physics, and now works in #systems and #ComplexSystems
(full disclosure: Liz is my PhD Supervisor)

Dr @ZenaAssaad is a Senior #Research Fellow at #ANU's School of #Engineering and originally trained in #aeronautics, and does a lot of work in #safety and #SafetySystems

Dr @DrKyburz is a video games #researcher and #developer at #ANU's School of #Computing

Professor @profElanor is previously the Dean of the College of Computing, Engineering and Cybernetics at #ANU and is now an executive at #CSIRO - she originally trained in #quantum #physics

@saera works in the #GLAM space, and originally trained in #InformationSystems and #ComputerScience, and now works with #library #technologies

And if you want to learn more about this topic, see:

https://womeninstem.org.au/

https://www.un.org/en/observances/women-and-girls-in-science-day/

For the last 50 or so years, #SoftwareEngineering has been largely about how to write fewer #LinesOfCode, to minimize the amount of #code to #maintain, and to minimize the number of #bugs.

Now with #Copilot and #ChatGPT, people seem to have forgotten this, and are trying to increase the number of lines of code a #SoftwareEngineer produces per day.

Can you see where this leads to? What is the situation a company making use of these #technologies will find itself in next?

I'm just saying software engineer #unemployment isn't going to be it.

I'm not saying these technologies and #tools aren't useful; clearly they are. I have used them a lot for different purposes. They can help in #teaching software engineering, and any other topic, for example, if it doesn't matter that the material is a few years old.

We can finally have decent #chatbot #ProgressiveUserInterfaces which understand what the user wants, and understand the system they interface to.

These technologies will also evolve fast and ultimately they will change everything.

It's just that the first ideas people got of "fewer software engineers are now needed" and "now junior engineers can do everything" are grossly unrealistic. I don't mind people testing that though, feel free to make bets.

#Astronomers discover potential #habitable #exoplanet only 31 light-years from Earth | #Space

"We found that #Wolf1069B is not a transiting #planet, and for this reason, we won't be able to further characterize its atmosphere using the transmission #spectroscopy method (as is being currently undergone for transiting planets using e.g. #JWST.
To characterize the atmospheres of RV-only detected #planets is absolutely crucial, as many of these intriguing worlds that are closer to us are also RV-only detections. This will come in the next decade (or two or three) with newer #technologies, so stay tuned — perhaps our grandchildren will experience us finding life on another planet."

“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to #technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”
― Douglas Adams

petite présentation : je suis un grand nounours #gay qui frise la 50aine. passionné par tous les moyens de transports mais surtout par les #trains et les #métros (membre de plusieurs #assos dans ce thème), mais aussi par la #mer, les #technologies de l'information, et la #généalogie.
je vis avec un Jeune Homme et une chatte de salon devenue fauve de jardin.
je suis #protestant (réformé) non pratiquant
enfin, je suis très #émotif et j'ai des anxiétés sociales (et, paradoxe, j'aime les gens).

Introduction:

#Artist and #enthusiast interested in the #political #economy of #art. I’ve engaged with the #technologies of #exhibition to work critically with #museums. #galleries, #art #schools, #archives and #auction houses.

Currently I'm #learning to live with less and experimenting with how to #consume fewer #resources. To be more #resilient.

I'm trying to be conscious of what makes life #joyful, but not at the expense of #others.

New #blogpost summing up the findings of my last #paper - a study of #environmental #innovation in the #nordics.

Here we ask (and answer) the question of WHY the journey of many #green #technologies from their early conception to their large-scale adoption remains a serious challenge?

#histodons, #anthrodons and #sts peeps:
Come join us in person or via zoom for our Workshop "#Sustainability in use: bureaucratic processes and technology use in Africa"! We want to explore the interdependent #articulations of #bureaucratic and #technological processes; i.e. things like borrowing #technologies with the intention of standardising procedures, but also how technologies themselves, esp. #infrastructures, engender #bureaucratisation in their management.
