Super cool.
We're seeing lots of headlines about the catastrophic impact of massive data center expansion. But what else could data centers look like?

In my perpetual quest to seek out alternative technofutures, I want to highlight the really cool work of Keolu Fox.

Mr.T has everything covered already.
Sorry that as an outsider I find this hope to be ... adorable. I mean after all this, 42% are in favour?!! It looks like the US has a multigenerational internal battle ahead of it. (Same with India)
Oh what superb weather in #Chennai for cycling. Many areas around us which used to get water logged for even light rain are nearly water free after these incessant rains.
Rejoicing about this ... especially with an asthmatic kid. Slightly affected, but not as badly as many years ago.
The really funny one I thought was "left handed guitar" for lefties where the left hand does the strumming and the right hand does all the fret work :)
? Many harmonium designs have LR symmetric bellows no?
Do LLMs not provide source links (reliably or at all) because they were not trained to do so for fear of being sued for copyright violations ... Or did everyone know this already and I'm late to the party?
The company I worked for the longest in Singapore had at one point a strength of about 60 people of about 15 different nationalities.
I'd even go as far as to say that one might be hard pressed to find *less* racism anywhere else in the world.

Yes I'm aware of that and some gerrymandering too. However at the grass roots level, the law is not applied in a biased manner like it is in India. Also between the people too, there is little friction of that kind. It isn't perfect, yes, but I have many close multiracial friends & colleagues.
Buddha takes the middle path even amongst the top 10 on bsky.
Top mentioned people on BlueSky over the last week, according to my entity analysis script
Donald Trump - 33,805
Mike Johnson - 6,234
Vladimir Putin - 5,496
Ashley from Big Brother- 4,713
Buddha - 4,404
Jeffrey Epstein - 3,934
Vince from Big Brother - 3,821
Pete Hegseth - 3,571
Adolf Hitler - 2,539
... while people who play the veena or violin or mrdangam or tavil or any instrument at all are probably like "eh? whats the problem with left?". Given how lefty-ness is looked down upon amongst "traditional" brahmin folks, such bidexterity is also embraced with a shrug.
Furthermore, the avg Singaporean does not need a car in Singapore. The public transport (buses and MRT) is top notch and heavily used.
And rgd "you cannot buy a car without gov permission", I'm all thumbs up for that kind of regulation, being a "cars ruin cities" guy.
Authoritarian yes, but I didn't find nationalist and racist facets in the government. (In fact, I adore Singaporeans and the sub cultures therein.) Justice and racism cannot coexist.
The musical processes (called Gen in the package (but I'm looking for a different name since "gen" is commonly used for signal generators also) have a kind of algebraic structure with Cont serving as 1 and Stop as 0 with other operators using them appropriately.
The scheduling of the pulses is further controlled by the bus' clock whose tempo can be changed over time if needed using a `control` signal for the tempo - srikumarks.github.io/Synth.jl/dev...

The JCP of traffic in Greater Chennai Mr. Vijaykumar (IPS) (vijaypnpa_ips on the other site) has publicly shared a whatsapp number +91 9994790008 to send suggestions to. Sent my think that we should work to make the city better for pedestrians and cyclists and stop trying to optimize for cars.
The "pulses" are all decaying sinusoids - sine waves modulated using an ADSR envelope. The different facets of the pulses are scheduled "in parallel" using `par`.
The way you get the URL is to configure it at talakeeper.org/talas.html, click "Play" to get a "Shareable link" which you can copy and use with Synth.Models.TK3.tala(url).

As an illustration of how sound processes and music processes are presented by Synth.jl, an interface to play @talakeeper.org pattern URLs is available here - github.com/srikumarks/S... . You construct a "tala" from the URL using the TK3.tala function and schedule it on to a playing "bus".
I suppose you meant "if authoritarian meant corruption-free"? Singapore didn't feel fascist at all for all the years I lived there. Fascism should not be accepted period.
