Lessons from Biophilic Design: Rethinking Affective Interaction Design in Built Environments
The perspectives of affective interaction in built environments are largely overlooked and instead dominated by affective computing approaches that view emotions as "static", computable states to be detected and regulated. To address this limitation, we interviewed architects to explore how biophilic design -- our deep-rooted emotional connection with nature -- could shape affective interaction design in smart buildings. Our findings reveal that natural environments facilitate self-directed emo…

Hydrostatic bubbles of compressible fluid in an incompressible fluid
We study stationary configurations of compressible barotropic fluids lying inside an incompressible fluid and acted upon by a constant gravitational field. Without gravity, it is a simple matter to construct solutions consisting of perfectly spherical bubbles of compressible fluid, but with gravity the stratification of the compressible fluid's density prevents the existence of solutions with such simple geometries. We construct smooth solutions with nontrivial gravity and nearly spherical, axi…

"The [Wall Street Journal] writers compare the #AI bubble to other bubbles, like Worldcom's fraud-soaked fiber optic bonanza (which saw the company's CEO sent to prison, where he eventually died), and conclude that the AI bubble is vastly larger than any other bubble in recent history" -- @pluralistic

Psalm 58 is about the maga-klan... Here it is (slightly shorted to meet my Mastodon site's posting length limits.)
...
Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge people with equity?
No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth.

Break the teeth in their mouths, O God;
Lord, tear out the fangs of those lions!
Let them vanish like water that flows away; when they draw the bow, let their arrows fall s…

Bible Gateway passage: Psalm 58 - New International Version
Psalm 58 - For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam. Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge people with equity? No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth. Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward, spreading lies. Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears, that will not heed the tune of the charmer, however skillful the enchante…

"Today's #AI bubble has absorbed more of the country's wealth and represents more of its economic activity than historic nation-shattering bubbles, like the 19th century UK rail bubble. A much-discussed MIT paper found that 95% of companies that had tried AI had either nothing to show for it, or experienced a loss" -- @…
