Git is hard: messing up is easy, and figuring out how to fix your mistakes is impossible. Git documentation has this chicken and egg problem where you can't search for how to get yourself out of a mess, unless you already know the name of the thing you need to know about in order to fix your problem. So here are some bad situations I've gotten myself into, and how I eventually got myself out of them in plain english.

Empathic AI to serve human well-being With a single API call, interpret emotional expressions and generate empathic responses. Meet the first AI with emotional intelligence. Hume argues that emotions drive choice and well-being At Hume AI, we take this as a guiding principle behind ethical AI: in order to serve our preferences, algorithms should be guided by our emotions. Recognizing the need to map out the emotions that animate thought and action, Hume also proposed a taxonomy of over 16 emotional states, but lacked scientific evidence. EVI is a conversational voice API powered by empathic AI. It is the only API that measures nuanced vocal modulations, guiding language and speech generation. Trained on millions of human interactions, our empathic large language model (eLLM) unites language modeling and text-to-speech with better EQ, prosody, end-of-turn detection, interruptibility, and alignment.

A week ago, I finally got round to implementing an idea I’d been toying with for years: what if your computer made a little bit of noise every time it sent data to Google? The video above beeps only on Google, and it shows how the official Dutch government jobs site (which also advertises for the intelligence and security services) sends your every click to Google - despite never asking for your permission to do so. It also reports to Google if you clicked the button “apply for this job”, or even “call us for information”. Nice. From studying logs, I’d long known just how many sites send all your visits and clicks to (at least) Google, but a log that you have to manually create first and then analyze is not very dramatic. You need to work on it and finally you think “well yeah that is a lot”.

Any Technology Indistinguishable From Magic is Hiding Something
Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta (GAMM) now own most of the steel and glass that makes the internet go vroom. Google, Amazon, and Microsoft control seventy-five percent of the cloud computing market. They call it the cloud, but really, that’s just the internet. So, what we know as the cloud doesn’t actually exist. It’s a euphemism that obfuscates the consolidation of critical infrastructure. The cloud is metaphysical porn for wild-eyed technocrats in Allbirds who say things like, “I’m making a dent in the universe” without a whisper of irony. It’s bullshit. It’s fugazi. There is no spoon, Neo. The cloud is a lie.
Digital Patmos – An e-Magazine on Apocalyptic and Dystopian Cultures
An e-Magazine on Apocalyptic and Dystopian Cultures. Digital Patmos is the official e-magazine of UWC2101G Writing and Critical Thinking: Apocalyptic Cultures, a freshman expository writing course conducted by the University Scholars Programme at the National University of Singapore. The e-magazine showcases student work submitted for a specific opinion article assignment, in which students select a primary text from popular culture that involves various perspectives of apocalypse. These articles are then curated and further developed by editorial collectives made up of students of the course, and then put together as a special issue of the e-magazine.
Convergence of Machine and Human: WALL-E’s Forewarning of The Future – Digital Patmos: Vol 1 Issue 2
My paper maintains that WALL-E’s erosion of the distinction between humans and robots is thus significant as it proclaims that mankind’s anxieties about A.I. is justified; these include the fear of being replaced, of losing our own humanity, and of not being able to distinguish artificial humans from the real ones.
The invisible seafaring industry that keeps the internet afloat. The internet is carried around the world by hundreds of thousands of miles of slender cables that sit at the bottom of the ocean. These fragile wires are constantly breaking — a precarious system on which everything from banks to governments to TikTok depends. But thanks to a secretive global network of ships on standby, every broken cable is quickly fixed. This is the story of the people who repair the world’s most important infrastructure.

How to open pieces of narrative non-fiction writing, conference talks, and sticky jars- for people trying to get better at narrative, non-fiction, opinionated writing like essays, blog posts, and conference talks. Opening well isn't just about snapping up someone's attention and keeping them reading for a few lines. You can't write good openings without having good ideas, good arguments, good structure, and good storytelling skills. Everything hangs off that starting point, so it's worth learning how to nail it.
Generative Artificial Intelligence: Practical Uses in Education
This Open Educational Resource (OER) was produced for educators who wish to find positive and productive ways to incorporate generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools into their work. This includes: using AI tools to develop courses, lesson plans, activities, assessments, and rubrics; leveraging AI tools to enhance existing in-class activities and assignments; teaching students how to engage with AI effectively, ethically, and responsibly; utilizing AI tools to efficiently complete administrative tasks. This resource is focused on how AI tools can be used in polytechnic education. However, much of the content will also be relevant to educators in other educational contexts, like university or high school. The term ‘instructional staff’ is used widely in this resource and is meant to include instructors, professors, lecturers, teachers, educational assistants, and tutors. h/y Tom Haymes and/or Mark Corbett Wilson
Devised in concert with Rhizome's acclaimed digital preservation department, Net Art Anthology aims to address the shortage of historical perspectives on a field in which even the most prominent artworks are often inaccessible. The series takes on the complex task of identifying, preserving, and presenting 100 exemplary works in a field characterized by broad participation, diverse practices, promiscuous collaboration, and rapidly shifting formal and aesthetic standards, sketching a possible net art canon. This project was accompanied by a gallery exhibition, "The Art Happens Here," which was premiered at the New Museum in NYC in winter 2019, and will undertake a national tour through 2020. Alongside, Rhizome published a 440-page catalogue detailing the whole project — buy it today! Net Art Anthology was launched in 2016 and completed in June 2019. Additional material related to Anthology works, as well as updated restorations may be added from time to time into the future.

Enterprises Must Now Rework Their Knowledge into AI-Ready Forms: Vector Databases and LLMs | On Digital Strategy | Dion Hinchcliffe
With the recent arrival of potent new AI-based models for representing knowledge, the methods enterprises use to manage data today is now faced with yet another major new transformation. I remember a few decades back when the arrival of SQL databases were a major innovation. At the time, they were both quite costly and took great skill to use well. Despite this, enterprises readily understood they were the best new game in town in which their most important data had to live, and so move they did.
How to Write Alt Text and Image Descriptions for the visually impaired – Perkins School for the Blind
Making your website and social media accessible to people with blindness and low vision. Over the last few years, I have become a leading expert in how to write alt text and image descriptions for the visually impaired, inclusive of blind/low vision audiences. Fewer than 1% of images online contain alt text or image descriptions for people with vision loss, which means that people who use screen readers are unable to access images and other visual content that can connect them to information and facilitate communication, so adding alt text and/or image descriptions are a great way to stand out and be inclusive of audiences with vision loss, while simultaneously improving the SEO of an image and making it easier to understand what is going on. Here are my general tips for how to write alt text and image descriptions for the visually impaired, which has been updated since I originally posted this in 2018.

Updating an OER Textbook via AI and ChatGPT – Adam Croom
I’ve stuck with the textbook for simple reasons. Free is forever the most popular choice, and though I continue to evaluate newer textbooks, I haven’t found anything that merits the cost of access. Plus, students aren’t exactly revolting. The best option would be to revise the textbook since the license allows that, but revisions are an incredible amount of work. So enter my idea to see if ChatGPT could be an effective rewriter for the textbook. I decided to test out a chapter of the book just to see how well it would do. I started with this set of prompts... ChatGPT is as an accelerant seems like the right mindset. Which is how we should look at these tools in general though, yes? It’s very possible that within a weeks time I could now do what, say, might have taken a semester’s time before. In my books (pun intended), that seems like a pretty big productivity win. On the other hand, how would a student feel if they knew that their textbook had been revised by man and machine?
