tg📢 New Essay:
"What if the exhaustion everybody feels isn't a moral failure but the completely rational response to being made responsible for an ecosystem of objects that never stop asking?"

I am a pathological optimist, except when I'm not. My spirit character is the interrobang‽

aevathere's this quote "a society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in" that shows up verbatim lots of places cited as a Greek proverb, but the degree to which it is quoted verbatim makes me think there might be a more recent source that's not being attributed properly. regardless of its origin, i like the philosophy: build a better future together little by little doing the things you can today

Scientists in California have created a new way to see inside the body by combining ultrasound with a light-based technique called photoacoustic imaging. The result produces fast 3D images that show both the shape of soft tissues and how blood is flowing. It has already been tested on human heads, breasts and limbs, and could help doctors spot tumours, track nerve damage from diabetes and study the brain — without radiation or injected dyes.

Alex GrissI just released the alpha of Web Audio Studio.
It's a browser-based tool for writing real Web Audio API code and visualizing the runtime graph it produces. You can inspect connections, follow signal flow, and insert analysers to see what's happening between nodes.
Everything runs locally in the browser. No signup. Desktop-only for now.
Would love feedback from anyone working with #WebAudio or #DSP.

Daniel P. HuffmanA warning for Adobe #InDesign users. I recently updated my copy, and after preparing a document, the recipient of that document sent me the alt text that popped up on one of their figures. Apparently, by default, InDesign uses AI to generate (often hilariously wrong) alt text for images.
