If AIs are a new kind of computing technique based on pattern-matching which is bad at counting, then what do we call the older conventional technique in which computers are extremely good at counting? I've just been calling it "conventional computing," but that doesn't feel like an adequate description.

Interested in the intersection of the internet and the built environment.
The next issue of my newsletter is about to go out, if you haven’t heard of it yet and want to join. It provides updates when I have new projects/writing/events to announce.

The earlier stage of the project which I shared last year, for reference:

The design process also involved investigating an alternative translucent design option for the rack shelves.
Update on my FutureRack project to explore the re-use of server racks as furniture: this year I worked with a design client on adapting the idea for potential installation in an office, further developing the design and working with a fabricator to get it ready for production.
At the end of last year I moved back to New York, and it’s time for me to share that news in case anyone here wants to connect or reconnect.
I created the analysis as part 4/5 of my visual research series for my #AddressableSpace project in the 2023 Summer of Protocols program, which has been rolled out this year. You can view the series, including the latest two installments just released, on SoP’s website:

Addressable Space Appendix [serialized] - Summer of Protocols
Through a process of visually investigating how addressability appears and operates in the world, we might develop ideas about how that collected information could inform new design work which deliberately responds to the idea as a spatial concept. What follows is a collection of analytical scenarios which operate at a variety of spatial scales. In addition to offering observations of
Suburban cul-de-sacs are designed to be navigated via mechanized travel. In the past that was automotive, but in the future it might be robotic.

mcc@jplebreton the trolley problem is especially frustrating if one has ever worked for a transportation entity and been the one raising the question "why do we not have a program of regularly inspecting the trolley brakes to prevent potential future failures"?
My speculative investigations into using server racks to create home furniture are now viewable online, at their own new website.
