Been looking at portfolios and CVs and Websites for people who applied for a "Creative Technologist" position.
And it's kinda disheartening to see that almost all pages and projects look very much the same.
The way that "we just focus on one dominant technology/narrative and visual language" limits people's development and horizon is depressing.

now I'm looking at the world of portable monitors. Lots of 15.6" 4K screens out there for very cheap. Do these actually work for regular use or are they limited in some important way?

Protip: if you get tired of the flood of AI discourse, just read it as being short for "Artificial Inseminaton" for a while.

🎮 Need a Game Designer? 🕹
I'm a freelance game designer and solo game dev looking for work! (freelance, part-time, fulltime).
I can do all kinds of design work and released my own game on Steam.
I love to work in teams!
My specialties are system design and non-violent game mechanics.
I value kindness and creativity. ❤

Abstract: The discovery of optical frequency combs (OFCs) has revolutionised science and technology by bridging electronics and photonics, driving major advances in precision measurements, atomic clocks, spectroscopy, telecommunications, and astronomy. However, current OFC systems still require further development to enable broader adoption in fields such as communication, aerospace, defence, and healthcare. There is a growing need for compact, portable OFCs that deliver high output power, robust self-referencing, and application-specific spectral coverage. On the conceptual side, progress toward such systems is hindered by an incomplete understanding of the fundamental principles governing OFC generation in emerging devices and materials, as well as evolving insights into the interplay between soliton and mode-locking effects. This roadmap presents the vision of a diverse group of academic and industry researchers and educators from Europe, along with their collaborators, on the current status and future directions of OFC science. It highlights a multidisciplinary approach that integrates novel physics, engineering innovation, and advanced researcher training. Topics include advances in soliton science as it relates to OFCs, the extension of OFC spectra into the visible and mid-infrared ranges, metrology applications and noise performance of integrated OFC sources, new fibre-based OFC modules, OFC lasers and OFC applications in astronomy.
