The Washington Post Tells Staff It’s Pivoting to AI: “AI everywhere in our newsroom.”

Already facing scandal, the Washington Post‘s new-ish CEO and publisher, Will Lewis, has announced that the newspaper will be pivoting to artificial intelligence to turn around its dismal financial situation. […] The paper’s chief technology officer, meanwhile, announced to staffers that going forward, WaPo is to have “AI everywhere in our newsroom,” according to Tani. It’s unclear,…

Three different sized buildings. Still working on variations for the biggest one. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay

More 18th Century fun @fortligonier

More modular, swappable building components. I’ve got to work on the sides of these mid-sized buildings next. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay

Enjoying a visit with an Austrian imperial commander (ahistorically but magnificently present) at Ft Ligonier.

More modular low-poly background buildings. I’ll do some more facades then move to the next size larger. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay

Added multiple swappable upper storeys. Next I will make slightly fewer variations of a slightly larger building. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay

What, exactly, am I looking at here? I’m so confused.

Reliving memories and saying goodbye to my late colleague Sr. Ann Infanger.

Modular components to mix and match. The upper storeys are next. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay #gettingbetter

Let He Who Is Without Sin #StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch (Season 5, Episode 7) Worf Scorns Risa

Rewatching ST:DS9 A nervous Morn sniffs a flower and presents it to a woman who accepts it warmly. At the replimat, Odo and Sisko chat about the forthcoming O’Brien baby and the risks of interspecies love. Worf’s jealously and aloofness is played for laughs against Dax’s open friendliness as they discuss a trip to Risa…

Non-Euclidean Doom, where the value of pi is not 3.14159

Weirdly beautiful. Wonderful bit of game history exploring why the code for the 1993 game Doom uses a slightly wrong value for pi (the programmer recalls that he misremembered the 10th digit), and a bizarre exploration of what happens to the gameplay when you deliberately change pi to different values. We all know that the…

Google’s broken link to the web

I guess now we know why for the past decade or so Google doesn’t seem to be valuing what used to be magical about Google — the ability to rank pages so effectively and connect users to web pages that met their needs. That’s just not what’s driving Google these days. With AI search results…

Enjoyed making a 3D print of the captain’s chair from the #steampunk bedtime stories I used to tell my now-adult kids.

The daughter is doing another thing, this time in Galway, Ireland.

This actually happened the other day when I was offline.

Modular low-poly medieval buildings. Ground-level storefronts have more detail than the upper storey windows and interiors. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay #gettingthere

Modular low-poly medieval buildings. Ground-level storefronts have more detail than the upper storey windows and interiors. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay #gettingthere My second try is definitely better than my first from a few weeks ago. I’ve told myself at this stage, no props! No barrels or crates or hay bales, wall sconces, procedurally-generated random street…
