An inside look at how Netflix's use of data led to generic "algorithm films" intended for broad appeal, with AI set to further entrench the production style (Phil Hoad/The Guardian)
theguardian.com/media/20…

Bland, easy to follow, for fans of everything: what has the Netflix algorithm done to our films?
When the streaming giant began making films guided by data that aimed to please a vast audience, the results were often generic, forgettable, artless affairs. But is there a happy ending?

Probing the extent of WASP-52 b's atmosphere. High-resolution observations and 3D modeling insights
WASP-52 b is an inflated hot Jupiter with a large Roche lobe filling fraction, positioned in the hot Neptune desert. Previous in-transit observations of the helium triplet at 10833 A have reported a range of excess absorption values (1.5%-5.5%) and a lack of net blueshift relative to the planet's rest frame, distinguishing it from other escaping atmospheres. This study investigates the extent and morphology of material escaping from WASP-52 b, assessing whether its outflow resembles a stream-li…

I'm not the target audience, but that second paragraph hit me in the gut
"But for many of us, the first real injustices that mattered to us, that ripped our hearts out, weren't the failings of our parents' relationships, or the boys we crushed on who didn't love us, but the Black girls who we wanted to see us and be- friend us instead either ignored or bullied us."

Picture of book page from Eloquent Rage: I'm no therapist, but I'm a Black girl's Black girl, and I know Black-girl pain when I see it. Many of us who couldn't access pretty privilege, those of us who weren't popular or cool, those of us nerdy girls who stayed to ourselves, wrote stories and dreamed of lives as writers, grew up and found a home in feminism, a place where we were seen, a place where others were as mad about injustice as we were. But for many of us, the first real injustices tha…

🤔 Looking at this UI, Forem could probably implement ActivityPub at this point.
Every logo is a server. "Forem feed" = Federated timeline. "Follow" = follow and adding their Local timeline to my Following timeline? 🤔
Related discussion: github.com/forem/forem/discuss

Forem's site with logos on the left side of the page. Hovering over every logo shows a popover with more info about its "subforem" and a "Follow" button.

LOL I stepped away from Mastodon for a couple hours and everybody is VERY MAD that I made jokes about CLIs. I use them every day, guys, it's gonna be okay. I promise I did not hurt Zork's feelings. It is, however, a factual statement that CLIs are not discoverable user interfaces and they are a poor choice for mainstream audiences; this debate was settled long ago.
