An Algorithmic Sense of Humor? Not Yet. July 16, 2015 at 05:38PM
In recent months, artificial-intelligence researchers have made giant strides in matching human performance in all kind of tasks that had, until recently, been thought of as almost impossible for computers. Things like face and object recognition, for example.

"…And he sampled the time-winds, sensing the turmoil, the storm nexus that now focused on this moment..."
“…And he sampled the time-winds, sensing the turmoil, the storm nexus that now focused on this moment place. Even the faint gaps were closed now. Here was the unborn jihad, he knew. Here was the race consciousness that he had known once as his own terrible purpose. Here was reason enough for a Kwisatz Haderach or a Lisan al-Ghaib or even the halting schemes of the Bene Gesserit. The race of humans had felt its own dormancy, sensed itself grown stale and knew now only the need to experience turmoil in which the genes would mingle and the strong new mixtures survive. All humans were alive as an unconscious single organism in this moment, experiencing a kind of sexual heat that could override any barrier.”

Frank Herbert's 'Dune'
Frank Herbert’s ‘Dune’
via Tumblr http://bit.ly/1IGCIXE
glad to see someone taking Frank Herbert seriously, but hey, he’s not saying this is Utopia! and definitely NOT something we should aspire to become! if you could notice beyond the surface and beyond the obvious, it is a deliberate rant on what keeps us humans morally inept for thousands of years, and what might happen to us 10,000 from now if we continue to live with our WRONG assumptions,…View On WordPress
DUNE and its prequels and sequels are essentially a critique of human civilization today and a writer’s creative extrapolation of what might happen into the future without our conscious and collective intervention..
AND as you might have noticed, it was deliberately poking fun at us, our WRONG assumptions and double standards, everything that has been wrong with us so far, it is all-encompassing, YES, but not as a blueprint of what Frank Herbert thinks MUST BE our galactic future, but a CRITIQUE of our own History so far, with these outlandish extrapolation far out into the future to highlight what we could sadly lead to if we continue on our path today (that’s 1960’s to 1980’s for our writer)
i understand where you two are coming from and you have raised legitimate social concerns here,
BUT PLEASE.. your scathing fortified criticism of Frank Herbert’s DUNE will be better directed at our own society today, which truly deserves it or even MORE SO.. or you can appeal to sci-fi writers of today to please paint a not so bleak scenario for our future
BUT PLEASE.. your scathing fortified criticism of Frank Herbert’s DUNE will be better directed at our own society today, which truly deserves it or even MORE SO.. or you can appeal to sci-fi writers of today to please paint a not so bleak scenario for our future
you must understand that Frank Herbert’s DUNE is a classic precisely because of the complex and nasty human issues you raised here, and i doubt he personally endorses the views of the characters of the novels, he has populated an entire Universe of them and it is hard to imagine that any of those views reflect the writer’s personal belief or code of conduct
i am writing this comment so as to contribute to a more balanced and fair literary assessment of the Dune Universe..
Thank you! this is a good article, and find myself laughing as i read this, nice points you raised here

FAR from over
Shoutout to the bisexuals and pansexuals, to the genderqueer and trans folk who will be completely erased from the media’s coverage of the marriage equality decision in the United States, even if it means that you will be able to marry your partner when you couldn’t before. You don’t deserve to be erased from something you want to celebrate.
Shoutout to the folks for whom this decision does basically nothing. Shoutout to the trans women of color who experience incredibly high rates of violence and who will probably face the brunt of the backlash to the decision from straight people. We will not ignore you. We will not silence you. We will not forget you.
The movement for equality is FAR from over. Celebrate if you want to celebrate, but listen to the voices of those who are not celebrating.

Title: Under The Falling Skies
Summary:
“So, Dean.” The king clears his throat, looking at the barbarian who’s eating a chicken’s leg and scratching his belly with a contented face.
“To end this conflict, I am offering you one of my daughters in marriage, so we can become allies and good friends. Choose whichever you want.” The king gestures to his three daughters, all maidens of rare beauty.
Dean belches loudly and pats his belly, causing loud laughter among his warriors. He takes a good look at the princesses, shifting his gaze from one to the other.
“I appreciate your offer, King Uldred, and I will accept it. Though I don’t want any of your daughters.” Dean grins widely.
The king frowns. “I don’t understand.”
“I want him.” Dean points at the young prince with his gnawed chicken’s leg. “I’ll have Castiel.”

Dean’s and Castiel’s manips (click for a bigger version) are done by amazing Irensupernatural
Excerpt from chapter 33
As it turns out Dean is there, sitting at the table and looking a little bored as he spins a spoon in his hand. He flinches when the doors of the chamber close loudly and a slightly frowning Castiel walks in.
“Oh, you came. Good,” Dean greets the prince. “I was beginning to think that you changed your mind and would not come.”
“And what if I did?” Castiel asks sharply. “Would you drag me out?” he blurts out before he has time to consider his words.
To Dean’s honor he decides to ignore the icy cold tone in the prince’s voice.
“You look good,” he decides to compliment Castiel’s appearance.
The brunet squirms under the barbarian’s burning gaze, which seems to mentally undress him. The tip of Dean’s tongue flicks out, instinctively swiping over his bottom lip. Castiel feels how his face starts flushing and burning as his captor’s eyes begin to darken from unconcealed lust.
“Did you call me just so I could stand in the middle of the hall while you undress me with your eyes?” Castiel inquires dryly.

#Cats, #adorable aren’t they?
Historically, cats were considered to be desirable pets due to the fact that they were extremely willing to help with housework. However, after the advent of technology, this all changed. Cats found that it was now too dangerous for them to help with housework, and instead now choose to watch lazily as their humans do it for them. Here we have a cat’s first interaction with a vacuum cleaner, and we see his expression as he realizes helping out is just not worth it.

Enter Pyongyang from JT Singh on Vimeo.“Enter Pyongyang” is...
Enter Pyongyang from JT Singh on Vimeo.
“Enter Pyongyang” is another stunning collaboration between city-branding pioneer JT Singh and flow-motion videographer Rob Whitworth. Blending time-lapse photography, acceleration and slow motion, HD and digital animation, they have produced a cutting‐edge panorama of a city hardly known, but one emerging on the visitor’s landscape as North Korea’s opening unfolds.
North Korea was the last country seemingly immune to change—but no longer. Recent years have witnessed mobile phone penetration, a surge in tourists, and even a marathon. Numerous special economic zones have been launched in cooperation with China, Russia, and South Korea, with railways planned linking all countries in the region. “Enter Pyongyang” captures not just the city, but this dynamism and sense of potential.
This video is the single most significant multi-media contribution to transcending clichés about North Korea as a society defined by reclusiveness and destitution. To travel there is to witness a proud civilization, though one caught in a Cold War time-warp. Korean cultural traditions are meticulously preserved and displayed in authentic richness. Anyone who has witnessed the awe-inspiring Mass Games knows that, with great sacrifice, North Koreans can pull off a performance unparalleled in its precision.
“Enter Pyongyang” captures the reality of North Korean citizens as earnest and humane, not automatons. The infamous traffic ladies and subway guards stand stiff and sentinel—but today they share a smile too. The more North Koreans one meets, the more one sees an organic society that wants to be a normal country. If you travel there not to judge but to appreciate, you will come away with a better understanding of how challenging national transformation can be.
"Enter Pyongyang" is above all an invitation to explore. Few places in the world have been as hermetically sealed as North Korea, but Koryo Tours has made it possible not just to see North Korea but to engage with it in ways that were impossible until very recently. This is a window of opportunity not to be missed. If Pyongyang is no longer off limits, no place is.
—Foreword by Dr. Parag Khanna, Director, Hybrid Reality
Koryo Group: The Koryo team brought a wealth of valuable knowledge and expertise to this project. Thanks to their extensive experience in running tourism and cultural engagement projects in North Korea since 1993, we were able to get unprecedented access in Pyongyang. We are thankful to the Koryo team and their Korean partners for an unforgettable experience.
FAQs
-How were you guys allowed to film in Pyongyang?
This project was produced in conjunction with Koryo Tours, the leading North Korea travel specialist. Co-producer Vicky Mohieddeen of Koryo Tours was with us throughout the shoot.
-Were there restrictions on what was allowed to be filmed?
We were closely assisted by two guides from the National Tourism Administration, who helped us gain special access to locations and made sure that we followed all the rules. As is standard for all foreign visitors to the country, we were not allowed to shoot any construction sites, undeveloped locations or military personnel. Other than that we were given relatively free reign.
-Isn’t this all fake? You don’t see the real North Korea.
The average visitor to Pyongyang is likely to be surprised by the scenes they encounter and are especially surprised about how clean and orderly the city actually is. Indeed, people living in Pyongyang and other major cities enjoy a higher quality of life than those in other parts of the county.
-Are people allowed to travel to North Korea?
Yes, despite what the majority of people think, it is possible to visit North Korea as a tourist. North Korea does not release official data on the number of Western tourists it receives, but estimates range from 4,000 to 6,000 per year. Most of the foreign tourists are from Mainland China, estimated in the tens of thousands annually.
-Were you paid to make this film?
We volunteered for this project with no pay at all. All other travel expenses for the 6 day trip were covered by Koryo Tours.
-Does this film support the DPRK government?
"Enter Pyongyang" is an observational film. At no point did Koryo Tours or we have to pretend to be supporters of the DPRK Government or their philosophy in order to be granted permission to shoot this film. Amazingly, we were given complete editorial control in the making of this piece.

11 Things You Probably Don’t Understand About Your Friends Who Like To Be Alone
1. It’s (almost) never about you.
Sure, just like everyone else we need some space after a fight, but in general our disposition has nothing to do with you (so please, don’t take it personally). Sometimes it feels rude to be the kind of person who needs to “recharge” after hanging out with people, but fighting it only makes it worse. It’s just the way some people are. I recently read something great about working with your own unique personality instead of wishing it could be different, “Even if we try to conform to ideals and strive for perfection, we will always be pulled back to our core identity because it’s the path of least resistance for our souls – an energy force that wants nothing more than for us to honor and accept who we are and discover what we’re meant to do in the world.”People who like to be alone can’t magically change just because they really like a friend or the person they are dating. They’ll always need a refuge inside themselves — but they’ll always come back to you when they’re ready.
2. Alone time doesn’t count if we’re not actually alone.
Texting and social media are great, but they can interrupt the limited alone time we have on a daily basis. If we’re texting others and in constant communication, when do we get the time we need to be quiet, to rest, to let our minds wander? Be aware of how often you check in.3. We’re not bummed out if we aren’t making small talk, don’t tell us we need to cheer up.
Parties can be intimidating activities, we’re happy to come sometimes but we need to go at our own pace. This means we aren’t likely to jump in with both feet and be laughing and talking like the life of the party right away. We warm up person by person, that doesn’t mean we aren’t having a good time. In general, don’t worry about us, we know how to be responsible for our own feelings, we’ll figure out how to have a good time whether it’s having a nice, long conversation with one person in the corner, or dutifully making the rounds before escaping to something more our speed.

Bloom from The Lincoln Motor Company on Vimeo.
Bloom is a story about taking risks. As the short film opens, we meet Isabella, an Argentinian girl arriving in the U.S. for the very first time to visit a long-time friend. Looking to escape the monotony of everyday life, Isabella finds herself in a remote West Coast mountain town armed with nothing but her luggage and scant understanding of the English language. Upon realizing her luggage was mixed up at the airport, she embarks on an unexpected journey with a stranger, one that flips her world upside down. Limited by language barriers, these two strangers must rely only on body language and facial expressions to convey even simple thoughts and ideas.

The #Freifunk initiative
I am currently attending the annual Chaos Computer Club Congress 31C3. It’s all about current social and net related politics.
My perception of this event is the same one I had three years ago: I am torn between “OMFG how can these security breaches happen!” and “Wow! How does one have such a marvellous Idea? I would love to talk to everyone I know about this”. The sad thing is, that I mostly realize that the topics are very complex and that a visual presentation anyone can understand would be very helpful.
A very practical example is Freifunk. The Freifunk initiative is a grassroots movement. Commited people want to offer anonymous and free of charge internet access and have already started to adjust existing hard- and software for this purpose. these modified routers can connect to each other ina so-called mesh-network, without a provider asking for customer details. A router connecting to this network just has to have access to the internet so that every logged in usercan surf the net, chat or read e-mails; without any registration process or having to pay.
