A blogger named Archetyper, inspired by Tufte-Feynman Principle -
gives birth to a new principle that counters the Singularity of
Vernor Vinge, and calls it Simplelarity w/c means that when
machines exceed human intelligence, the result will be utter
simplicity, rather than chaos and unpredictability that follows
after crossing the Event Horizon.
ST ANDREW'S Day became the new battleground yesterday in the debate
over Scotland's identity, as the First Minister unveiled how the
event was to be marked for the first time under an SNP government.
Outside the context of my comfortable U.S. suburban childhood,
suddenly this song was not just daring, but dangerous. I had been
naive, comfortable and lucky. I had to rethink my perspective, and
understand this wasn?t about teenage rebellion. It was about
breaking free of real authority and control.
In support of the November 21st theatrical release of the holiday
drama, THIS CHRISTMAS, Screen Gems has announced that Antenica N.
Smith has won the grand prize in the THIS CHRISTMAS National
Singing Challenge.
We've seen some pretty fancy mirrors in our day, but Daniel Rozin's
Weave Mirror ranks pretty high up there. This zany installation
relies on "768 motorized and laminated C-shaped prints along the
surface of a picture plane that texturally mimics a homespun
basket," and as curious mortals approach it, it "paints a picture
of them..."
"Tomorrow is Halloween. To help celebrate we have collected the 75
best movie related pumpkin carving photos (we could find) on the
internet. Check them out after the jump."
If you want to be avant-garde, don?t expect the amenities of the
rear-guard. Schoenberg certainly didn?t. When he conducted the
premier of his song cycle Gurre-Lieder, he walked onstage to thank
the musicians but kept his back turned to the audience and did not
acknowledge the applause. And audiences hated him back.
Mariano Rivera was offered a $45 million, three-year contract to
stay with the New York Yankees. Now, the team is waiting to hear
back from its star closer. ?He?d be by $4 million a year the
highest-paid relief pitcher,? Yankees senior vice president Hank
Steinbrenner said yesterday. ?To say that?s a strong offer would be
an understatement.?
