How Much of the Bible Was Written by Enslaved People?
We know Paul himself did not actually draft his letters to far-flung Christians, for example, but it’s still unclear how much credit he shares with his enslaved secretaries.

Selenskyj: Brauchen "Patriots" und Granaten
Trotz einer Belebung westlicher Rüstungshilfen nach monatelanger Pause benötigt die von Russland angegriffene Ukraine eigenen Angaben zufolge weiter Waffen und Munition. Die täglichen russischen Raketenangriffe, die täglichen Angriffe an der Front könnten gestoppt werden, sagte Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj in seiner abendlichen Videobotschaft. "Aber dazu …

I have just received reports on the situation in Odesa following a Russian missile strike and in Kharkiv following a Russian guided aerial bomb strike. Unfortunately, a number of people have been killed in Odesa. My condolences to their close ones. Many people have been injured,…

Calling Betteridge's Law on this one..
#BetteridgesLaw

Is ChatGPT fuelling hyper-productivity? Since its release in November 2022, OpenAT’s chatbot has helped scientists boost their productivity when it comes to writing papers or grant applications. But increasing the throughput of publications could stretch editors and reviewers even thinner than they already are. And, swhile many authors acknowledge their Al use, some quietly use chatbots to churn out low-value research. “We have to go back and look at what the reward system is in academia,” say…

Have you ever wondered, what if Groundhog Day, but with guns?
What if The Lazarus Project, but without the intelligent writing?
What if Russian Doll, but without the quirky charm?
Then Edge of Tomorrow is the film for you.

Yes Jessie is away taking to people about writing at Moniack Mhor and I am consequently watching films that I know she would never want to watch. And she has been proved right, yet again.

Interactive Exploration of Nonlinear Ray Casting with Rust and wgpu
Speaker: Niklas Korz Description Light is commonly assumed to travel linearly from source to destination. There are however cases where the path of light can be bent or distorted. In the case of black holes for example, the light is attracted by a very strong gravitational center. Heated air can change the direction of light through the varying refraction caused by the temperature transition from heat source to environment. Creating an interactive environment for exploration of such phenomena m…

An article I've written on playtesting for innovation has just been published in the "Game Developer" Magazine.
It's about how we can facilitate more innovation in games, but also applies to films, TV shows, novels, plays, non-fiction writing, anything in life! :)

Blog | Dear Tester, this is how you can help us be innovative
We’re currently developing a mini open world local co-op called Bugging Humans. It has a shared asymmetrical UI — where one player doesn’t see the screen but they have the controller, and the other player sees the screen and they have the keyboard. This means best practices, for instance in level design, have to be adapted. It also means blind and low-vision players can play with sighted players. The game could involve many innovations, unless we stuff it up by avoiding player discomfort.…

#30DaysOfBiking, Day 28 = #SPEZI24, Day 2: Rode my KMX recumbent trike to #SPEZI (2x 4km) and rode each of the following bikes at least once through the 750m test course: A

"Big Brompty", a black Brompton with enlarged frame, forh and chainstay to accommodate very narrow 24" road wheels. Was for sale from private.
"Sofie" a red, front wheel driven short wheelbase recumbent with an aerodynamic wooden box in the back which also provides the seat. It has lettering on the box that says "Sofie made by holzwurm 2024". A visitor's bicycle.
Zarabike, an Italian delta layout recumbent trike which can tilt when riding through curves. Shown tilted to the left. A product shown at the fair.
"Ride your Bed" (RyB, campcycle.ch), an oval-ish 50kg folding caravan with a canvas top for use with e-bikes. A product shown at the fair.

Home - 3X3
FREE YOUR BIKE. Für 3X3 bedeutet das, eine wartungsfreie Nabenschaltung zu bauen, die bei jeder Witterung immer perfekt funktioniert.
