Dopo 46 anni torna una versione abbastanza fedele (e persino retrocompatibile!) del mitico Atari 2600, che peraltro è stata la mia seconda console, la prima console a cartucce (sì, sono vecchio, lo so).
"Staying true to its iconic 1977 design, the Atari 2600+ keeps the fake wood grain panel and is compatible with actual Atari 2600 and 7800 cartridges. Don’t own any OG Atari cartridges? Not a problem! The Atari 2600+ comes with a 10-in-1 game cartridge with classics like Missile Command, Video Pinball, and Yars’ Revenge. No Pac-Man, Space Invaders, or Frogger, though, but if you still have the original cartridges, you can go crazy".

Questo è uno bravo a scrivere, ma la cosa che ha fatto è interessante per vari motivi oltre alla cosa in sé, tra i quali l'idea che oggi sempre più il lavoro di chi scrive sia di testimoniare in prima persona non quel che succede ma cosa si prova quando succede. È una differenza abbastanza radicale perché, ad esempio se uno fa un reportage dal mondo del cinema porno non ci si aspetta che partecipi a un film. Invece, Clive Thompson, che come ho detto è uno bravo davvero, ha fatto la stessa cosa. Solo, con la bici.
Money quote: "What’s the longest bike ride you’ve ever taken? Clive Thompson probably has you beat. In April, the journalist and author set out to bicycle across the entire country — coast-to-coast, 4,150 miles total — as part of the reporting for his next book.
He documented his trip in real time — 70 days, 10 weeks on the road, broken up by a brief return trip home — on Strava, the social app that tracks your bike rides, runs and hikes. Thompson is a lively and entertaining writer, a journalist who covers technology and science for the New York Times, Wired, the Smithsonian and on his own Medium page. He is the author of two books: “Smarter Than You Think: How Technology is Changing Our Minds for the Better” and “Coders: The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World.”"

Personalmente quando faccio una intervista prendo appunti al computer e cerco di trascrivere il più possibile fedelmente quello che la persona dice, nonostante tenga sempre una registrazione come backup. Questo perché mi aiuta a concentrarmi su quel che sta dicendo. Vuol dire scrivere un sacco (vado veloce sulla tastiera, più che non a penna) ma ha sempre funzionato così per me. Invece, in questo articolo, che non è rivolto a chi fa il giornalista, l'idea è esattamente l'opposto: scrivere a mano è meglio. Concordo su tutto tranne l'idea che non ci sia la memoria muscolare in funzione, perché scrivere a macchina velocemente non è concettualmente diverso dallo scrivere a penna
Money quote: "Researchers have found that note-taking associated with keyboarding involves taking notes verbatim in a way that does not involve processing information, and so have called this “non-generative” note-taking. By contrast, taking notes by hand involves cognitive engagement in summarizing, paraphrasing, organizing, concept and vocabulary mapping — in short, manipulating and transforming information that leads to deeper understanding."

A quanto pare se uno ha fatto i vaccini per il covid sempre nello stesso braccio è vaccinato di più.
Money quote: "Study participants were randomized to receive both doses in one arm or the second dose in the opposite arm. Two weeks after receiving the shots, researchers discovered certain immune cells – commonly known as “killer T cells” – were detected in 67% of people who received both injections in the same arm versus only 43% of those who got them in different arms."

Money quote: "This was not another report of melting icecaps, rising oceans, blistering heat or unusual tornadoes somewhere far away; this was a horizon-to-horizon pall over us, rising from infernos across the great Canadian north that had been ignited by record temperatures, record drought and ceaseless lightning storms. Nothing like it had ever happened before — these wildfires began far earlier and spread far faster than usual, and they have burned far more boreal forest than any fire in Canada’s modern history."

Taiwan ha una cura per la miopia e la perdita di diottrie in generale. O almeno, così dicono. Perché dietro c'è un problema gigantesco che ci travolgerà tutti.
Money quote: "Myopia, or what we commonly call nearsightedness, happens when the eyeball gets too long—it deforms from soccer ball to American football—and then the eye focuses light not on the retina but slightly in front of it, making distant objects appear blurry. The longer the eyeball becomes, the worse vision gets. Ophthalmologists measure this distortion in diopters, which refer to the strength of the lens required to bring someone’s vision back to normal. Anything worse than minus 5 diopters is considered “high myopia”—somewhere between 20 and 25 percent of myopia diagnoses around the world are in this category. In China, up to 90 percent of teenagers and young adults are myopic. In the 1950s the figure was as low as 10 percent. A 2012 study in Seoul found that an astonishing 96.5 percent of 19-year-old men were nearsighted. Among high schoolers in Taiwan, it’s around 90 percent. In the US and Europe, myopia rates across all ages are well below 50 percent, but they’ve risen sharply in recent decades. It’s estimated that by 2050, half the world’s population will need glasses, contacts, or surgery to see across a room. High myopia is now the leading cause of blindness in Japan, China, and Taiwan.
If those trends continue, it’s likely that millions more people around the world will go blind much earlier in life than they—or the societies they live in—are prepared for. It’s a “ticking time bomb,” says Nicola Logan, an optometry professor at the UK’s Aston University. She wasn’t the only expert I talked to who used that phrase."

Il canone del surrealismo è legato a figure di artisti e performer di sesso maschile. Ma in realtà le donne c'erano e hanno avuto un ruolo fondamentale. Lo ha studiato all'inizio degli anni Settanta Gloria Feman Orenstein e adesso si può vedere bene in questo cortometraggio di Cheri Gaulke.
Money quote: "In Gloria’s Call, the Los Angeles-based artist and filmmaker Cheri Gaulke manifests Orenstein’s journey into the surreal with collage-like animations. Through her appropriately trippy visual style and glimpses of the mindbending work of these female surrealists, Gaulke illustrates the undeniable brilliance of a generation of artists who might have been overlooked were it not for a like-minded feminist critic."

Jimmy Buffett è stato molto di più che non un cantante o un imprenditore miliardario americano. È stato il creatore di un modo di vestire e di essere. È la storia di un modo di uno stile che ha definito il costume americano.
Money quote: "So readily identifiable are the elements of that brand that the internet is awash in suggestions on how to strike the right “festival attitude’’ for a Jimmy Buffett concert or Jimmy Buffett party and instructions for groomsmen and bridesmaids on what to wear for a Jimmy Buffett-themed wedding. Apparel companies like Marine Layer, founded just over a decade ago in California by Michael Natenshon, started out with the clear intention of making clothes so casual they looked as if they were fished from the back of the closet. If you riffle through the stock at any of Marine Layer’s 40 stores, you inevitably feel you have wandered into Jimmy Buffett’s life."

Tesla sta resistendo alla capacità distruttiva del suo proprietario, Elon Musk, e andando avanti per la sua strada. Ma la realtà è che gli ostacoli sono anche e soprattutto tecnologici, oltre che politici e normativi. Ad esempio, alla base del successo di Tesla c'è la scommessa su una tecnologia convenzionale per le batterie, destinata (nelle proiezioni di Musk) a diventare sempre più economica e competitiva nel tempo. Ma c'è anche chi lavora ad altro, come Toyota, che a quanto pare sta cogliendo i primi risultati.
Money quote: "The key to this game-changing development is Toyota's solid-state battery technology. Solid-state batteries are similar to the lithium-ion batteries currently used in most EVs. Instead of using liquid electrolytes through which lithium ions flow, they use a solid electrolyte.
However, solid-state batteries are better than lithium-ion batteries in several ways. They last longer, take less time to charge, and are smaller. They're also less likely to catch on fire.
The main problem with solid-state batteries, though, has been they're more expensive to make than lithium-ion ones. Toyota believes that it has achieved a breakthrough that will allow it to manufacture solid-state batteries at a much lower cost. The company stated that it expects to begin mass production of its solid-state battery as soon as 2027."

È un lavoro degno dei cercatori di punte di freccia degli indiani di Carl Barks: l'autore del post ha trovato in un vecchio cd-rom per il Macintosh il cutaway di una Ferrari F40. Tantissima roba.
Money quote: "The F40 is a mind blowing piece of work and is reported to feature around 28,000 vector objects. It’s a very good imitation of the original illustration by the legendary David Kimble on which it is based.
I recorded a short video showing me zooming, scrolling, and watching it redraw. Finally I ungroup everything a handful of times to count the total number of vector objects. This is running in an emulator of a Macintosh with System 7.5 and 64MB RAM, though the illustration only requires around 8MB RAM. Maybe this will transport you back through time to when you were young!?"

Secondo me non è una "nuova teoria", comunque è sempre affascinante vedere cosa si può scoprire analizzando il Dna dei nostri antenati e ragionando in maniera logica sui risultati.
Money quote: "Il collo di bottiglia sarebbe stato appunto una grande diminuzione della popolazione della specie da cui poi si evolse Homo sapiens, la nostra. Gli autori dello studio hanno stimato che la popolazione si ridusse del 98,7 per cento, lasciando in vita meno di 1.280 individui. Rischiò dunque di estinguersi: se fosse successo, Homo sapiens non sarebbe mai esistito."

La storia dell'invenzione della spiaggia, cioè del concetto di vacanza al mare. Un'invenzione che ha avuto conseguenze enormi sulle nostre società e sul mondo.
Money quote: "The specter of Leviathan or Kraken gave the beach its threatening aura, but so did real hazards that arrived on the shore: pirates and bandits, crusaders and colonizers, the Black Death and smallpox. No wonder Dante’s third circle of hell is lined with sand. On the beach, terror strikes Robinson Crusoe, the first of many castaways to confront destiny on the sand. In Western literature, the shoreline has served as a boundary; the beach the symbolic edge of the unknown.
How was the beach transformed from perilous place to preferred vacation destination — its white sand and rolling waves becoming the ultimate landscape of leisure? The modern embrace of the beach for the purposes of health and hedonism, recreation and retreat, came with the rise of urban, industrial society. The European “discovery” of the beach is a reminder that human ideas about nature have changed over time — with real consequences for the environment and the world."

Estos esferoides, que comenzaron hace 1,7 millones de años en África, se han encontrado por medio mundo, en yacimientos separados por miles de kilómetros, desde el valle del Rift a Corea del Sur, o los yacimientos de Orce, en España.
