I’m honoured to be featured alongside some of Australia’s biggest names in wonkdom in the summer issue of Inflection Points.
My paper is the culmination of 4 years work on declining civic participation — and why other researchers into the phenomenon have a blind spot for political parties.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

one of the casualties of capital ballooning AI into the stratosphere & the resulting backlash is that we've forgotten about the actual joys of conversing with a computer, and the art that goes into setting up the parlor where it happens
I am kind of less worried about letting high-end on-demand spectacles exist as fantasy, and instead focus my attention on how to author highly responsive things (call them games or not, idc) that treat both player and human-authored digital artifact as parts of a satisfying conversation

Someone asked why they can't get Godot's AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer to detect pitch.
It's probably because the default FFT size is small, which results in a wideband analysis. You want narrowband, so increase the FFT size.

I got to meet one of my childhood heroes, Roberta Williams, and talk to her for hours and it's one of the coolest experiences of my life. That will only make sense to a narrow band of you, but I'm fine with that. Big thanks to @gameinformer.com for asking me to do this. Roberta Williams. The legend.

Every Australian child of my generation learned extensively in school about the 1850s-1860s goldrushes.
