Actually, Apple News doesn't use AI summaries. A couple experiments failed when AI dropped important words like "not" making for some incorrect headlines. Those Apple News summaries are written by actaul real people who care about journalism. (for now)

Looks like the string joystick from a Gametrak controller. Awesome stuff. These are fun for expressive performances. The physical string adds many ways to play that are more repeatable and more interesting than a lot of hand wavey wireless things. youtu.be/SlSujIOGamk?...

True, but it is still a classic A+ Halloween costume.

Zuck said they are doing great and doubling down on AI, and this is the market response. $200 billion gone. Do you hear that popping sound? 🫧

Stellantis are corporate crooks. We should not give these grifters a dime. They will take the money and run, with zero chance they will repay anything.

Some evidence here...

E-waste drone motor, specifically my old rotary magnetic bow motor with bearings I ruined by not properly balancing the wheel. Since I ruined it, I figured I'll really destroy it with drumming. Controlled by RP2040 acting as a USB MIDI device.

Very fun! This as a test platform for experiments in rhythm synthesis as an alternative to sequencers. It sums oscillators in Pd and strikes a beat at the zero crossings. The rhythm can be morphed by changing the phase and amplitude of the oscillators using MIDI sliders. It gets pretty damn funky.

Yes, my boss back in my mainframe days would say, "We have the source code! We can do anything!"
