No one’s ready for this: Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality are about to go up in smoke.
Everyone who is reading this article in 2024 grew up in an era where a photograph was, by default, a representation of the truth. A staged scene with movie effects, a digital photo manipulation, or more recently, a deepfake — these were potential deceptions to take into account, but they were outliers in the realm…

The ‘Liar’s Dividend’ is dangerous for journalists. Here’s how to fight it.
The Liar’s Dividend suggests that in addition to fueling the flames of falsehoods, the debunking efforts actually legitimize the debate over the veracity. This creates smoke and fans suspicions among at least some in the audience that there might well be something true about the claim. That’s the “dividend” paid to the perpetrator of…

John Speed’s 1611 map of #medievalyork features a “scale of paces.” My #unity3d placeholder character currently takes 45 steps to run the distance Speed marked as 50 paces. (I can adjust that easily.)
The barbican at Mickelgate was pulled down in the 1800s but I made a rough approximation from other sources. #medievalyork #blender3d
The posthuman liberal arts
As those familiar with the liberal arts know, in antiquity there were seven such arts. Three formed the trivium of the humanities: rhetoric, grammar, and logic. And four formed the quadrivium of the sciences: music, arithmetic, geometry, and astronomy. The assertion was this was the knowledge one required to participate as a citizen, as a…
