Il personaggio interpretato da Julia Louis-Deryfus nella sitcom Seinfeld, Elaine Benes, è una bomba sexy o una ragazza normalina-bruttina?
Uno di quegli articoli come la cioccolata che, se non li avessero già pubblicati e letti in tutto il mondo, ti verrebbe voglia di tradurli e far finta di averli scritti tu.
Money quote 1: "Which is how, in a roundabout way, I’ve found myself thinking about Elaine Benes. Is Seinfeld’s best character hot? Obviously Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who played Elaine Benes for nine seasons, is a certifiably gorgeous woman, but that’s not the question. Is Elaine herself canonically hot? If she is, why is she hanging out with these dorks? Is she a hot woman doing dorky things? Or is she a dorky woman who happens to be extremely hot? Are hotness and dorkiness mutually exclusive properties?"
Money quote 2: "Sitcoms, especially those from the ’80s and ’90s, are a strange animal. There’s a baseline level of attractiveness that people, especially women, need to get on television, and sitcoms usually depict what are supposed to be “regular” people. Also, when I first watched Seinfeld, I was 8, and gay: Elaine’s attractiveness eluded me.
Elaine’s canonical hotness might seem clear to modern, adult eyes, but there are reasons to question it."

Per me Craig Mod è un esempio e un fenomeno da studiare. Non so quanto sia effettivamente gradevole come persona ma quel che riesce a fare scrivendo è veramente notevole. Soprattutto perché si è disintermediato e vive del frutto del suo lavoro, per il quale i lettori lo pagano direttamente. Chapeaux .
Ma come fa? Beh, qui lo spiega.
Money quote: "If you’re thinking about running a membership program, you’re probably a bit wacky. Everything I write about membership programs should be filtered through the lens that: I live a somewhat uncommon, sometimes extremely wacky life. It’s good to keep that in mind. My work is mostly, inherently, non-commercial. Or less commercial than it might be “optimized” for. When people ask me: Who are you? What do you do? And I tell them — I walk, I write, I photograph, I make books, I run a membership program. Their suspicion is plainly visible: No, but what do you do to survive? As if the soul itself wasn’t a thing to be nourished. This is survival, I want to say. But instead I say: And from those activities I make several hundred-thousand dollars a year. That changes the tenor quickly. Cashflow, sadly, validates. "

Amazon con AWS vuole mangiarsi l'industria della telefonia mobile con un sistema che sposta nel cloud il lavoro e il valore dei carrier.
Money quote: "I’ve noted in past blogs on MWC that the cloud providers were front and center at the show, and also that public cloud providers had their sights on the telco space in general, and 5G in particular, as a conduit for future revenues. Amazon sent a copy of their MWC presentation, and it’s a good way to analyze what cloud providers are saying and thinking with regard to their future relationship with telecom. The key slide in their presentation shows three layers of AWS support for telcos, so we’ll look at them starting at the bottom."

Il nuovo gioco di Zelda per la Switch di Nintendo, Tears of the Kingdom, sta facendo gridare al miracolo. È veramente fatto molto bene, e se ne scrive tanto in rete.
Money quote: "A clip showing one potential solution went viral on Twitter shortly after Tears of the Kingdom’s release: The player uses Link’s Ultrahand ability to unfurl the stacked bridge by attaching it to a wheeled platform in the lava. When the wheeled platform — now attached to the edge of the bridge — activates and moves forward, it pulls the bridge taut, splashing lava as it goes, until the suspension bridge is actually suspended and can be crossed. But it wasn’t the solution itself that resonated with players; instead, the clip had game developers’ jaws on the ground, in awe of how Nintendo’s team wrangled the game’s physics system to do that.
To players, it’s simply a bridge, but to game developers, it’s a miracle."

C'è un notevole cambiamento nei film Disney per quanto riguarda le figure dei cattivi. Stanno diventando meno cattivi.
Money quote: "«Questo allontanamento dal personaggio che incarna intere “ideologie cattive” per consentire a tutti i personaggi di essere più umani e bilanciati ha portato ad alcuni dei film Disney più ricchi di sfumature della sua storia», ha scritto la critica Emily Kavanagh sul sito dedicato alla cultura pop Collider. Il nuovo approccio incoraggia piuttosto il pubblico a provare empatia nei confronti dei vari personaggi: «mostra che i problemi non sono tutti in bianco e nero, e che di solito non possono essere risolti rimuovendo una singola persona cattiva da una situazione. Che dev’esserci uno sforzo comune basato in larga parte sulla comunicazione. Che le persone non sono cattive solo per il gusto di essere cattive: ci sono motivazioni dietro le loro azioni, anche se sono dannose»."

C'è sempre più gente che passa da Android a iPhone. Google sostiene che accade perché Apple gioca sporco con il sistema integrato di iMessage-Sms. In realtà, pare che il problema sia un altro: i telefoni Android sono peggiori.
Money quote: "The top reason was actually an issue with the Android experience. Over 53% of respondents said they moved to iPhone because of problems with their Android smartphone. Specifics cited were “their old phone did not serve them, because it was aging, needed repair, or had some deficiency that affected their user experience.”"

Stiamo "proiettando" e potentemente fraintendendo quel che succede con l'intelligenza artificiale: il mito della macchina conscia ci sta rendendo tutti dei Narcisi. Ecco perché:
Money quote: "If any threshold has been crossed, however, it is solely in the capacious plasticity of the algorithm. It is most certainly not the threshold between unconscious mechanism and conscious mind. Here is where the myth of Narcissus seems to me especially fitting: the functions of a computer are such wonderfully versatile reflections of our mental agency that at times they take on the haunting appearance of another autonomous rational intellect, just there on the other side of the screen. It is a bewitching illusion, but an illusion all the same. Moreover, exceeding any error the poor simpleton from Boeotia committed, we compound the illusion by inverting it: having impressed the image of thought on computation, we now reverse the transposition and mistake our thinking for a kind of computation. This, though, is fundamentally to misunderstand both minds and computers."

Mi ero perso The Playlist, il biopic su Spotify prodotto da Netflix in Svezia. L'ho beccato per caso perché lo guardava un tipo sull'aereo tornando da Londra, qualche tempo fa. Uno dei miei sport preferiti in aereo è guardare le cose che guardano quelli seduti accanto o davanti a me, ovviamente senza volume. È divertente "riempire gli spazi vuoti" di senso che il video senza audio produce. A casa ho dato un'occhiata e ho trovato la serie su Netflix e me la sono guardata in un paio di fine settimana. Non male. La recensione del Guardian ancora meglio.
Money quote: "Spotify is one of those apps – along with most products made by Meta – that people never feel entirely jazzed about using. Convenience, and its market saturation, mean that we are all forced to hush our misgivings about its exploitation of musicians whenever we open it. Luckily, this is where the focus of the final episode lies. The Ek we see here is Charles Foster Kane, brittle and aloof and so insulated by wealth that he has lost sight of what he ever wanted Spotify to be. In contrast, there’s a talented musician who can no longer pay her rent with the royalties she receives from streaming. It’s a necessary note for the series to strike, and one you wish took up more airtime."

Netflix tells the origin story of Spotify, but Daniel Ek – the most powerful man in music – is no Steve Jobs. Still, it’s worth watching for the jolting discomfort you’ll feel after the finale

Incredibile come l'idea mainstream del tempo presente sia quella di un tempo congelato, senza prospettiva né in avanti né all'indietro. Queste note a margine su come sopravvivere all'internet surreale sono semplicemente oro.
Money quote: "Theorizing the Web is a weird and wonderful gathering where academics and technologists share their theories about wtf is happening online. The conference was started 9 years ago by a small group of tech-savvy cultural observers who wanted to take the internet seriously as an instigator of large-scale sociological change. (Back when Zuckerberg stayed far away from Congress and techno-optimists were praising Twitter for creating the Arab Spring). RadicalxChange is new on the scene — an eclectic mix of economists, policy wonks, activists, crypto nerds, and artists who are trying to think more creatively about how to improve our social institutions. Together, RadicalxChange + Theorizing the Web painted a surreal picture of how bad actors are creating weapons of information warfare to re-shape our world. I want to pass on my notes before they get too out of date."

Cos'è la psicoterapia? E come funziona? La mia immagine mentale è legata ai film di Woody Allen (non scherzo: ero ragazzino ed è stata la prima volta che l'ho vista mettere in scena, con il tizio disteso sul lettino che parla con un altro tipo seduto con il blocco note in mano). Ma ci sono parecchie cose da scoprire.
Money quote: "Proponents of different forms of psychotherapy would likely agree that each approach helps people to better understand their thoughts, emotions and responses. Past experiences can affect present behaviour, and people can get caught up in unhelpful or inflexible patterns of responding to experiences, both internal and external. All therapies hold the shared purpose of bringing about change in these processes."

Cosa succederà nel mondo dei social media, in futuro? Avremo degli scenari post-Twitter? Tornerà un'epoca d'oro? Arriverà una nuova piattaforma che vincerà tutto? Forse no.
Money quote: "Il caso di BeReal, unito al fatto che le tante piattaforme che si sono proposte come alternative al Twitter di Elon Musk sono molto lontane dal raggiungere una diffusione di massa, ha portato vari esperti a formulare un’ipotesi: ovvero che oggi costruire un nuovo social network che possa fare davvero concorrenza a quelli che conosciamo, assumendo una rilevanza culturale e sociale paragonabile a quella di Facebook, Instagram, Twitter o TikTok, sia di fatto impossibile. Anche se per motivi diversi sembra che gli attuali grandi social network stiano avendo o potrebbero avere in futuro grossi problemi e un declino nel numero di utenti: Facebook è in crisi di popolarità da anni, Instagram sta diventando secondo molti un luogo di eccessive promozioni e autopromozioni, Twitter da mesi è gestito in maniera piuttosto caotica da Musk e TikTok sta subendo pressioni e limitazioni dai governi occidentali per via della sua proprietà cinese."
