I just released 'elsewheres', a trio of short films that I wrote, directed, shot, edited, and produced.

It's free-to-watch (with a voluntary donation model) on my site, but was made for the Big Screen, so I'm also planning a DIY pop-up cinema tour across Europe in the months ahead.

this!

when i am in this mood my mantra becomes, "be an instigator".

not a physicist but this video by Angela Collier is a fun watch:

“string theory lied to us and now science communication is hard.

cinematic debut premiering right here in 13 days’ time :)

a trio of short motion pictures that i've written, directed, produced, shot and edited, and will launch on my website late next month, followed by a european tour of free screenings with my pop-up, makeshift cinema. an experiment to see if i can become fully-funded by tips/donations from the audience.

Found this article in the excellent Numlock News newsletter, which had the following précis:

Duckweed is an aquatic plant that's seen as a promising source of protein for humans and animals alike. Duckweed grows in freshwater, and under optimal conditions is 45 percent protein, with a hectare of duckweed producing 10 to 18 tonnes of protein per year. By comparison, the same area of soybeans would produce 0.6 to 1.2 tonnes of protein. Duckweed grows fast — the quantity can double in less than 48 hours — and now the challenge is finding out ways to extract rubisco, the main enzyme present in the leaves and the single most abundant protein on Earth.

What are your thoughts on what Donald Hoffman has been pursuing?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_D._Hoffman

YouTube made up 9.7% of all viewership on connected and traditional TVs in the U.S. in May — the largest share of TV for a streaming platform ever reported by Nielsen’s monthly “The Gauge” report. Netflix ranked second, claiming 7.6% of viewership. Among streamers only, YouTube’s total viewership was close to 25% market share.

“We’re not talking about your mobile phone, your laptop, that I’m sure you see your kids using all the time, but on the biggest screen in the house, the TV,” said LightShed media analyst Rich Greenfield. “Every [media] executive has to be paying attention.”

After letting 18 months pass between a near-final edit of a 2 minute video and actually posting it, I got fed up of my own procrastination/perfectionism/pissing-about and started posting one new video a day to YT Shorts on 11 August 2023 to get back into moviemaking.

It’s been transformational for me, having this work-in-public video sketchbook. Slowly moved from just uploading iPhone videos shot from the hip to mostly using DLog footage shot on a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 colour corrected/graded with sound design in Final Cut Pro, and I’m looking to add a Sony FX-30 to the mix this summer.

As a whole I call it my “Dailies” project - the term of a course an old Hollywood practice of developing each shooting day’s footage so the studios could make sure the director is doing a good job.

It’s also pushed me into a daily writing practice and hoping to do more sophisticated work this year, so would love to have some more eyeballs for this and all that. :)

Beautiful! And wow to all the real(time) detail!

“ancient paleolithic venus statues were likely made by women who were examining their own bodies and sculpting them from their own first person POV, rather than, as previously assumed, exaggerated features from an outside perspective.”

From this tweet with photos for reference:

Really shocking to see so many comments here arguing we have a right to see/read/hear private, unpublished work that a deceased artist left clear instructions to destroy in the event of their death. Do we get to look at your personal journals, browser history and hidden photo gallery once you kick the bucket? Or is it only artists who must relinquish their privacy and last wishes to satisfy the morbid curiosity of the general public?

Congrats on the sobriety! Will be 5 years for me this May. I also found myself in a similar place as you in the months that followed quitting drinking: feeling a bit “now what?” and seeking some sort of guidance or structure for my life beyond the empty platitudes I saw in most self help content.

And then at just the right time I came across these three blog posts which really helped create a personal roadmap of sorts. Sharing in the hope that they get you closer to what you’re seeking!

1. 7 Strange Questions That Help You Find Your Life Purpose https://markmanson.net/life-purpose

2. How to Grow Up and Be More Mature https://markmanson.net/how-to-grow-up

3. Personal Values: How to Know Who You Really Are https://markmanson.net/personal-values

Drop a link to your friend’s work?

this was really cool. there should be a monthly "which blogs got updated this month?" post on HN like the hiring/wants to be hired posts.

A question I’ve always had is, assuming we do pick up very strong signatures or signals of life very far out, would it ever make sense (or, is it even possible) to create a ginormous optical telescope in space that could attempt to take pictures at a resolution that would be the next best thing to being there?

How big would it have to be in order to get a Google Earth resolution on a planet many light years away?
