Eryk SalvaggioIn Jasia Reichardt’s collection “Cybernetics, Art, and Ideas” (1971) there’s a story about castrated bugs who hear music as data — and it’s got an implicit and prescient warning about the underlying logics of computation. I wrote about it here ⬇️ https://open.substack.com/pub/cyberneticforests/p/nonobodys-mathematical-bio-pianolas
Paris MarxIn 1983, Time Magazine named the computer its “Machine of the Year.” A few months later, radical Detroit newspaper Fifth Estate responded by naming the sledgehammer its Tool of the Year.
“Today the computer promises utopia, reassures us that it will usher in freedom and dreams,” they wrote. “Tomorrow we will be chained to it.”
Shannon MatternTwenty years ago I was a postdoctoral fellow in the same department (or, one of the departments) where I’m now employed. Darlene, the administrative coordinator, has been there all along. Yet another example of staff (when they’re well supported and incentivized to stay) embodying institutional memory, social infrastructure, and so much more.
@jackstilgoe look forward to reading the piece, Jack! I was playing around with a TR-08 the other day (the tr808 reissue) and it seemed equally as difficult to programme as desired as this one - if for very different reasons!

Philip ShapiraJust finished reading an excellent and stimulating new working paper by #Manchester's Richard Jones on "Science and innovation policy for hard times: an overview of the UK’s Research and Development landscape." It is a thorough, up-to-date, and probing review of the UK science and innovation system. The paper presents a series of key questions, which the current UK government has yet to fully address. https://www.productivity.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/PIP014-Science-and-innovation-policy-for-hard-times-FINAL-151222.pdf
