Tokyo’s TeamLab, creator of popular immersive art wonderlands, to open SoCal location
TeamLab,
the Japan-born, tech-heavy immersive art collective,
is plotting its first permanent U.S. exhibition in Anaheim.
The group, stylized as teamLab, is moving into a 110,000-square-foot space at OCVibe,
the 100-acre mixed-use entertainment district currently in development near the Honda Center.
Details are scant, as the TeamLab spot is not estimated to open until…

Reagan | Food, Travel & Experiences in OC, LA, IE, SD & Beyond! on Instagram: "BREAKING: Tokyo’s teamLab is officially coming to ANAHEIM!! 🇯🇵✨ Just announced today: the world-famous art collective teamLab, founded in Tokyo in 2001, will open its first permanent U.S. museum at OCVIBE, the 100-acre sports, entertainment and arts district being built next to the Honda Center. Why this is such a big deal: ✨ It is a brand-new exhibition created specifically for Anaheim, not a traveling version of the Tokyo museums ✨ The building itself is purpose-built and designed around the art by architecture firm smith-clementi ✨ teamLab’s only permanent museums right now are in Japan, China and Saudi Arabia. The U.S. has never had one ✨ At their Tokyo museums there is no map and no set route. The artworks wander from room to room, and at their tea house, a flower blooms inside your actual cup of tea 📍 OCVIBE, 2610 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806 🗓️ Opening 2030 2030 sounds far away, but people plan entire trips to Japan around this. And it’s going to be in our backyard. #teamlab #teamlabanaheim #ocvibe #anaheim #orangecounty"

Normally I go to the Benalla Street Art Festival but this year it coincided with some guy chopping my chest open. Did an overnighter to catch up with the new art work this week. #BenallStreetArtFestival
It was minus 4 when I woke up but the art work was worth it. Here's a few examples

Timur Fork design In the main street
Juzpop image is actually in a laneway but I liked this perspective
Great piece by Matty Dunn - partly obscured by the rubbish skips but I like the juxtaposition

Find and Help your Open Source Friends
- Leonid Bugaev
"So let the large projects close the queue [to LLM contributions]. There is a lot more open source out there.
That was the reason I built Help Wanted in the first place, few years ago. At the time of writing, it has 650,456 issues from 96,576 projects in its index, from the projects who actually WANT help. Most developers will never hear the names of nearly all these projects.”

Rolling out some documentation QA checks for my repositories. So now I have a ton of open PR's with failing CI pipelines over small documentation issues. While I still have my doubts about AI in general for a bag of reasons. Being able to press a button to get it fixed vs opening each repo locally, fetch & pull, fix the issue, git push --force-with-lease and wait for the CI to go green.

Listening to new devlog from Tom Francis and he mentioned two big categories he includes in all his games:
Obvious pleasures - actions that inherently feel good. Smashing enemies through windows, breaking open crates, doing a knockdown attack.
Brain food - something to figure out and keep thinking about. Puzzle mechanics, build crafting, optimization problems, inventory Tetris.
Thinking I should look for really small versions of these in games I play.

People use LLMs to create software specific for their needs. But neither can other people use it (hardcoded variables, no rights management, too specific), nor do they use it again (too specific, easier to produce a new one).
Single use software is not maintained. Nobody understands it or has an interest in keeping it working.

I read William Golding’s The Spire, a hardcover borrowed from the grad library’s third floor stacks. It’s a Serious Book by a Serious Author. When I read it 25 years ago, I followed the story but got many of the characters confused, missed most of the carnal and spiritual undertones, and was blind to grand metaphors woven across chapters where people and things reverse roles and act like things and people. And that’s just part of it! 1/3

A hardcover copy of William Golding’s The Spire lies open to its title page (Harcourt, Brace & World, New York) on a dark wood table. In the foreground, slightly out of focus, is a white cup of cappuccino on a saucer, with a swirl of milk foam.

So... First, this is a great example of the enemy of your enemy not being your friend:
todon.eu/@radical_chic/1174272
I can hope that this will cause Adobe to help her the AI bubble popped sooner and/or that it breaks Adobe's market share, but I'm not going to use these tools, nor will I cheer too loudly if the result is that copyright restrictions actually get applied and stop LLM coding (even though stopping LLM coding is unambiguously good). (This is very much not a "clean room" implementation if Claude's training data includes any Adobe source, which it very well might.
Second, assuming this does not cause courts to suddenly start actually applying copyright law correctly, it represents a terrifying new reality for legacy software companies, given their dependence on software monopolies for a lot of their income. The people who have been building on open source all along have the better business model here, but this becoming the norm is more destructive than helpful to the open source movement, since "just rebuild it" seems easier than actually using or contributing to an existing open-source project.
That said, these tools are certainly full of serious bugs. They would be even if they had been written by humans in this timeframe, although in that case you'd probably have an order of magnitude fewer issues. These bugs will result in things like "if you open this PDF with the tool, your computer gets taken over by a virus". That occasionally happens with Adobe products too, of course, but it will happen more frequently and won't be fixed as fast/well in these tools.

I love when Milwaukee wins a championship because then I can post about how the people who call the city a shit-hole or refer to it as "Kilwaukee" are not welcome. And then they show up in the comments. 😂
If you are so afraid of the city or hate it don't be surprised we don't welcome you with open arms.
It's a large city and it has good & bad just like every city, town, or village does. Milwaukee's the economic engine of the state, lots of people live there, and we're actually proud of it.

PSA: Many who have job-related or ACA health care in the US are approaching your "open enrollment" period, where you can make changes to your coverage.
This (admittedly a bit goofy) video does a good job of unscrambling the terminology you'll encounter. Worth watching to fully understand what you're getting into.

Content warning: AI made maths proofs

They tell me that Open AI have solved four hundred previously open maths problems this week.
The news media, and even the mathematicians, seem quite credulous about it.
No way to know how many of those will really stand up in the end. Lots of proofs turn out not to be really proofs coz they have a mistake, and AI is quite good at discovering mistakes as well as now apparently discovering maths.
Some of them are counter-examples that prove the conjecture is false and those are gonna be good at last. Machines can check it.
Some have other types of mechanical machine-checkable proof, which is interesting in that we can all believe the checker-machine: coz it's deterministic and understandable.
We can't trust the machine that isn't deterministic or understandable as much though.
GPT says these things are true. Now maths people have to check, because OpenAI staff aren't expert mathematicians either, mostly.
Some of the 400 proofs will fall, I'm sure.
How many tokens will be spent before machines find the flaws that are surely still there? How many tokens until you decide to stop?
But if a machine can prove a thing to itself, but not explain it to any person, is it really doing maths? Even if it's correct more often than people are? Or is doing maths more about making meat understand a thing?
🤔
I'm sure I can't tell if the proofs are true or not. No point me reading them. Mostly won't even understand the question. The boundary of my meager meat-mind's maths-understanding was around barely-degree level.
Can the academic discipline continue as one which is devoted mostly to trying to understand the output of a machine writing about maths, which is mostly right but nobody can really tell without an entire academic discipline trying to check.
In other words, mathematicians now also face a spam problem familiar to many github project leads.

AI Agents need governed access to live systems of record, in a loosely coupled fashion using open standards — not more DBMS-specific wiring that creates compounding technical debt and more data silos.

Just finished "Across the Widest Sea" by Jean Cremers. An excellent graphic novel about found family, the open ocean, and the unfairness of life. I really like how there's a lot that the book just refuses to explain and you just have to accept how things are as a reader, which mirrors the dietetic situation pretty closely.

Interessante podcast, ook voor mensen die bij de overheid werken, want in feite is dit bedrijf gericht op bureaucratie, in de positieve betekenis van de term, met een enorme focus op compliance. Wat ook in overheidsorganisaties speelt. 2000 mensen, geen kantoor, alles met AI. Stof tot nadenken.

There comes (hopefully) a time in life when one recognizes that the law and the system called a "justice system" have nothing to do with justice.
Maybe it's when you see the system's complete disinterest in even investigating rich pedopholes. Maybe it's when you hear about a 6-year-old immigrant separated from his parents and compelled to take the stand in his own defense. Maybe it's when you see it give every benefit of the doubt to killer cops so they can get away scot-free, while doing nothing to change the cultures that continue to produce police shootings. Maybe it's when you see a woman prosecuted for having a miscarriage. Maybe it's when you read the court's opinion upholding the idea that police do NOT have a duty to protect civilians, or the opinion stating that if police choose not to uphold the law that's fine and they aren't accountable for that.
Whenever you see it, a natural question is: when did this happen? How long has this been going on?
Thankfully that question is easy to answer: just open up a history book and look for the founding date of whatever nation you live in.

I like the functional improvements in the new Mastodon UI, but i still prefer something like phanpy.social/
It is minimalistic and more serene. The nice thing about Mastodon is that it is easy to choose for something like this because it is so open.
