First of all, I would like to explain the #physical #basics of nuclear fusion. I will try to objectively work out the #advantages and #disadvantages of the new technology. Then, in a next step, I will present the #current #state of #practical #implementation of the technology and venture an #outlook into the #near/distant #future.

The Concept Of Indigenous GIS
--
Reading a paper (http://alturl.com/8wte5), they used the specific term ‘Indigenous GIS’ – and I found this intriguing!
As I read it, spatial data collection and analysis was done with a focus on how a tribe or social group might ‘see’ the data, including spatiotemporal....
I look forward to finding out more about what others are working on! – so PLEASE feel free to share any examples that you might have…

Watching Blobs of Paint Move to Chopin Is Oddly Soothing via Mental Floss [Shared]
The video, which was shared by Colossal, comes from French visual artist Thomas Blanchard. Set to Chopin’s Nocturne Op., 9 No. 2 (E Flat Major), it features iridescent blobs swirling through seas of glittery colors. The mesmerizing visuals are a perfect match for the soothing piano melody. If you need to turn off your brain for four and half minutes, this short film acts as the perfect mental refresher.
Though it could easily be mistaken for high-quality CGI, Blanchard’s art is 100 percent practical. To make the trippy visuals in this video, he filmed paint, oil, and liquid soap interacting with each other. His work often zooms in on small scenes.
#Hypnosis - as an example of a practical application of the paradigm of "#embodiment" and "#embededdness"
Abstract
The following essay will examine hypnosis as an example of a #practical #application of the #paradigm of "embodiment" and "embededdness" in more detail. In this context, an attempt will be made to prove the #effectiveness of the #hypnosis procedure with the help of #empirical #findings from #cognitive #neuroscience.

@djb (Daniel J. Bernstein) tooted about a new blog post[1] he published. It's here:
https://blog.cr.yp.to/20250118-flight.html
It's interesting. He's a #mathematician and software guy that in more recent years has been known mostly for his work in #cryptography, #theoretical and #practical. You're probably using his #Curve25519 every day in your #communications.
I'm not a mathematician (by a long shot), but it's written in a pretty accessible manner - it's not #formulae and #turgid academic #prose.
The central point he's getting at, by my possibly-mistaken understanding of it, is that current "common sense" about when attacks against pre-quantum cryptography like #RSA (and therefore when post-quantum cryptography becomes critical) are badly mistaken - based on bad assumptions about how attacks work, how they're implemented, and on badly #extrapolating from those bad assumptions using logic that doesn't actually represent the way attacks are developed and become practical.
TL;DR is something along the lines of "#quantum cryptographic attacks against RSA will be practical sooner than most people think, and you should be deploying quantum-resistant cryptography now, not later".
It's worth reading if you're at all interested in #crypto and #security stuff.
He also mentions a project he's involved in that has been discussed separately, transparent post-quantum tunnelling for unmodified #server and #client #software. Link in post.

#KamalaHarris on #Trump’s #economic agenda: “You see, for Donald Trump, our #economy works best if it works for those who own the big skyscrapers, not those who actually build them, not those who wire them, not those who mop the floor.”
Harris is presenting herself as a #pragmatist unbound by ideology.”We shouldn’t be constrained by ideology, & instead should seek #practical solutions to problems,”she says, offering herself as a #technocrat – #qualified & #capable.

I have millions of brilliant ideas. Whether they are practical or workable is another matter. That's life. Shaking out the real, the maybe, the yes, the no.

“I wonder if they knew where she comes from, where she came from, what her ideology is,” #Trump said, referencing Harris’s father, a distinguished #Jamaican #economist. Harris has said that she was raised primarily by her mother. Trump has misleadingly called Harris “Marxist,” though this oversimplifies a long career as an academic focused on international #development & #practical questions related to the #economy of his home nation.
#VicePresident #KamalaHarris has #brilliant #economic #pitch.
Harris is drawing a clear distinction between her and Trump, because her #plans will actually #provide #practical #help for the poor and #middleclass.
