Would you like to make it easier for people to produce digital devices?
Our shiny new website, prosquared.org launches today. Come take a look 👀and join our network!

On March 27 we're launching the Pro2 (Prototype to Production) network - a place for academics and industrials to come together to address the challenges of scaling up (hardware) prototypes. If you can't make the launch, but want to get involved, let me know!

EMERGE is an interactive, physically dynamic bar chart. Its 10×10 grid of illuminated vertically actuating rods encodes values similar to traditional bar charts. Read about the iterative+evolving design process in our new book! @_kiwijason @_JohnHardy @_faisaltaher @John_E_Vidler

At OpenAI a lot of our work aims to align language models like ChatGPT with human preferences. But this could become much harder once models can act coherently over long timeframes and exploit human fallibility to get more reward.

Differential geometry in daily life: these containers take up a lot of space in my recycling. Rather than try flattening them by brute force, I know I can simply cut through four “cone singularities.”

Tested the NeRF-to-Model Target pipeline with @LumaLabsAI. Quite the game changer for industrial, shiny targets. From scan to model target in minutes, without powder coating nor projected laser grid to help with reconstruction.

Models in engineering & science have *way* more complexity in geometry/materials than what conventional solvers can handle.
But imagine if simulation was like Monte Carlo rendering: just load up a complex model and hit "go"; don't worry about meshing, basis functions, etc. [1/n]

WOW.
Bloomberg finally opensourced memray—a new versatile memory profile for Python. Can't way to use it.

#CHI2022 Teaser is out! So many exciting projects are highlighted. I have also been watching the CHI teasers from the previous years, and I think social/critical/ethnographic works are almost absent in these teasers. This concerns me. (thread)

10 years ago today @_JohnHardy and I demonstrated CoffeeTable at @ecoop2011: a radical Software Engineering vision of a collaborative, shared, interactive, functional(!), software developer's IDE that expanded beyond individual's computers and onto a shared tabletop space.
ALT CoffeeTable table-top surface visualised code elements, such as Objects and Properties, in a more tangible interactive way.

The Slug Algorithm rendered by Slug version 6.0 (coming soon). Graphics imported from SVG file.
Drawing directly from Bézier curves on the GPU (no texture images), it takes less than 0.5 ms to render this on a GeForce 1060 at 4K resolution.
