there's something so deeply dystopian to me how tech companies don't understand that a forced convenience is not a convenience at all. i'm sure autocorrect is helpful for many, but a function that forcibly changes my actual written words and punctuation is taking away my language. photo filters can be nice but i need to choose using them myself or else i have lost the ability to take the picture i want. i don't want a machine to draw or write for me. taking away the option for me to do things manually feels like violence!!!! all this talk of endless opportunity, why are you RESTRICTING me

Ver. without the glow bc it could be alittle overstimulating

hmm sorry generative AI isn't another trademark use of progress it's qualitatively different the tradeoff isn't efficiency it's your independence

I just got to the Sun Station in Outer Wilds today and I feel so much betrayal - not by the game designers, but as if I was in-game. I’m experiencing so much conceptual bleed right now.

Kitab - Assistive Technology

Transcript Below:

1. [pointing to my throat and left ear] Astrid: I can't use my voice anymore due to abductor spasmodic dysphonia. Astrid: Plus I have audio processing issues and actual hearing loss.

2. [signing: COMMUNICATE] Astrid: So I could use some assistive technology to help me communicate.

3. [wearing AirPods in a crowd - On the right, a maxed out volume in the red goes down to four pips of green on the right.] Astrid: The new Apple AirPods Pro 2 are apparently hearing aid quality. Astrid: I could use the noise cancelling to help me hear in crowded environments.

4. [holding an iPad Mini in my left hand and an Apple Pencil in my right hand] Astrid: The iPad Mini is my favorite iPad size. Astrid: And the new one is compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro.

5. [I'm writing on the iPad Mini while surrounded by paper notes] Astrid: Since I can't speak now, I could use this to write notes. Astrid: It saves paper and keeps my communication ephemeral, like speaking. Notes: Yeah, my voice is broken. - If you speak clearly. - I'd … a latte please. - Where is the bathroom? - I'm still learning ASL.

6. [enjoying music, represented by a staff of assorted notes floating up and away] Astrid: Of course, I can also use this for digital art and listen to music. Astrid: Bonus!

7. [Sarita is in a white dress and has her arms crossed. Astrid signs: YES] Sarita: You're just trying to justify dropping $1000 on fancy toys. Astrid: Well, I mean, yeah.

8. [Sarita still has her arms crossed. Astrid signs: DRAW] Sarita: Do you even have $1000? Astrid: Of course not! I draw comics and post them on the internet. How would I have money?!

Researchers develop high-quality nanomechanical resonators with built-in piezoelectricity

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and at the University of Magdeburg in Germany have developed a novel type of nanomechanical resonator that combines two important features: high mechanical quality and piezoelectricity. This development could open doors to new possibilities in quantum sensing technologies. Mechanical resonators have been used for centuries for a multitude of applications. A key aspect of these devices is their ability to vibrate at specific frequencies. A well-known example is the tuning fork. When struck, the tuning fork oscillates at its resonance frequency, producing a sound wave within our hearing range. With advancements in microfabrication techniques, researchers have been able to shrink mechanical resonators down to the micro- and nanometer scale. At these tiny sizes, resonators oscillate at much higher frequencies and exhibit a greater sensitivity compared to their macroscopic counterparts.

it's interesting to think about how severance, although there's this whole population whose undergone the procedure, is still in these testing stages. the innies all have technology that is still not fully understood even if there's great control over it through all the blocks like the overtime contingency or the glasgow block. there's some control in regard to turning it on and off, but other than that? it's not something lumon could say worked flawlessly, up until cold harbor. the testing gemma was going through focused so much around whether or not the severance barriers would hold even as they put her through the most painful and personal memories. they've tested it so many times and with higher and higher stakes each time, but early severance must have failed right? there must have been so many versions where that barrier didn't hold because this seems to be the late testing stages, the hopeful stages for lumon where their product will finally work.

and what does that mean for innies? how developed are the innie chips and that technology? is it all the same? are chips updated as lumon makes advancements? could the barrier be broken, is there a more painful moment that could elicit this? we saw gemma take apart the crib with no memories or wavering, but that doesn't mean there isn't the potential for something else to possibly break that wall, or has lumon actually advanced so far now that it is impossible and they are completely split between the innie and the outie? yes, lumon has drawn a line but is it drawn in sand or stone?
