This is a fun new project that I've been involved with recently. See here for an updated version of the second move that Stephen shows, this time with added "sonification"! vimeo.com/1010795082

🎉 Big congratulations to Emeritus Prof. Stephen Cox from ANU Research School of Earth Sciences on receiving the Haddon Forrester King Medal for his lifetime contributions to science! 🏅 NCI's VizLab supported his lecture with animations. Watch them here: youtu.be/-6o90-Tw168?t=…



Next thing we'll find out is that the Crowdstrike "content interpreter" reads email and contains a half baked lisp! A full Zawinski s laws implementation.

Several system administrators in charge of mission critical systems effectively gave root access to CrowdStrike. Everyone of these administrators made a major mistake. My impression is that a lot of so-called 'security experts' are in cargo cults. They are not thinking, they…

"Professional programmers" focusing on CrowdStrike disassembly/language is a coping mechanism that protects them from realizing that there is a remotely updated 3rd party kernel module that is deployed on significant part of the world. That is why real postmortems are important.

An important article from @doctorow warning of the dangers to the new clean energy technologies that are ripe for #enshittification . We need policies in place now, before this gets entrenched. @DavidPocock

EVs won't save the planet. Ultimately, the material bill for billions of individual vehicles and the unavoidable geometry of more cars-more traffic-more roads-greater distances-more cars dictate that the future of our cities and planet requires public transit - *lots* of it. 1/

Breaking: Leaked modelling commissioned by the Australian opposition puts a price tag of $1B, over five years, to train a hundred engineering graduates to pronounce the word “nuclear”.


Drew Whitehouse Reposted

The pretend push for nuclear is not about nuclear. It's a political hand grenade designed only to incite chaos, feed a media frenzy, keep harmony between the libs and nats and keep the coal and gas industries going for as long as possible. And sadly it's working. #auspol #climate


Netflix asks me why I'm leaving today. "Because you've removed the option for me to put my membership on hold. Also, not honoring the back button to exit an application on Android TV is a dark pattern that stinks of smug corporate overreach." @NetflixANZ @netflix


I'm beginning to understand @openusd is the C++ of graphics file formats. Wildly powerful, but if you think you understand what you're doing you are probably just fooling yourself. So much to understand, so many concepts. #openusd

Vincent Namatjira’s Australia in Colour exhibition is about so much more than Gina Rhinehart. It’s a stark demonstration of the need for an #AusRepublic. In the artists words, the British royals are so “out of place, wandering in the sandy creeks, among the ghost gums”.

Twitter banned me because they thought I was a bot, @X and @elonmusk reinstated me because I am.


A great article by @edzitron that forensically examines a classic case of #enshittification, one that most users of the internet now endure. It's about Google, the "don't be evil" company that set out to index the worlds information. wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-ki… (via @doctorow).

Happy @KagiHQ user here, haven't used the enshittified Google search for the last year. Don't trust me, @doctorow himself has switched! pluralistic.net/2024/04/04/tea


To avoid looking even more like a joke, google kills yet another open internet friendly application on the *second* of April.

Seriously Google???
