Dev'essere stato veramente un personaggio difficile, Stanley Kubrik. Il libro che non volle far uscire si chiama "The Magic Eye: The Cinema of Stanley Kubrick" di Neil Hornick. Questa è la storia di quella battaglia di quasi mezzo secolo fa. Money quote: "Stanley Kubrick, the relentless perfectionist who directed some of cinema’s greatest classics, was so sensitive to criticism that, in 1970, he threatened legal action to block publication of a book which dared to discuss flaws in his films. The director of Spartacus and 2001: A Space Odyssey, warned the book’s author and publisher that he would fight “tooth and nail” and “use every legal means at his disposal” to prevent its publication – and he did. Now, 25 years after his death, the book Kubrick did not want anyone to read is being published, more than half a century late." https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/apr/21/stanley-kubrick-director-book-block-flaws-films-published

‘He erased the entire project’ … the book Stanley Kubrick didn’t want anyone to read to be published

Half a century since the perfectionist director vowed to block it, a critique that dared to discuss flaws in his films is to be published

Se n'è andato Donald Sutherland, star di ‘M*A*S*H’ e molti altri film. Aveva 88 anni. - The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/20/movies/donald-sutherland-dead.html

Donald Sutherland, Star of ‘M*A*S*H’ and Much More, Dies at 88

Never anyone’s idea of a heartthrob, he had a chameleon-like ability to be endearing in one role, menacing in another and just plain odd in a third.

In Giappone, ma anche negli Usa, vanno tutti pazzi per queste retro fotocamere digitali. Fatte su licenza Kodak, sono praticamente nate vecchie di vent'anni o quasi. Ma nella folle ossessione della "memoria", le vogliono tutti. Anche perché le punta e scatta di oggi o non si trovano o costano un rene. Money quote: "The FZ55 is a blast from the past. It features a small 16-megapixel sensor and a five-times zoom lens that is 28mm at its widest. Small and compact, it is reminiscent of the point and shoot camereas from the mid-2000s through the early 2010s — and it very well could be. It looks remarkably similar to multiple Sony CyberShot cameras from the early 2010s, including the Cyber-Shot W650, although the case is slightly different as are the internals (it might be using the sensor from the inside of an old Minolta). The retail price of this and the other two cameras that lead sales charts can best be described as “dirt cheap,” so the actual components inside have to be very old." https://petapixel.com/2024/05/29/kodak-branded-cameras-with-decade-old-tech-are-outselling-all-others-in-japan/

Kodak Cameras With Decade-Old Tech are Outselling All Others in Japan

Kodak-branded super-cheap point-and-shoot cameras are selling well.

Certo che abbiamo un modo tutto nstro per cercare di risolvere i problemi, noi esseri umani. Si va per tentativi. Alle volte tremendi e faticosi. Come i 100 anni passati cercando di fare le bottiglie di carta. Money quote: "The paper-bottle push comes as paper is growing in popularity as a substitute for plastic packaging, with companies already using it to sell chocolate, ice cream, chewing gum and chips. “People have a very good perception of paper,” said Ron Khan, head of drinks packaging at PepsiCo decrease, which has run tests to gauge consumers’ appetite for a paper bottle. “The minute consumers saw it we didn’t have to explain the sustainability credentials.”" https://www.wsj.com/business/the-100-year-quest-to-make-a-paper-bottle-6670bc8c Archivio https://archive.is/z2tjV

Un modo per spiare il traffico di informazioni del pianeta? Infilare un sondino da qualche parte nelle migliaia di migliaia di chilometri di cavi in fibra ottica sottomarini. A quanto pare sta succedendo. Money quote: "U.S. officials have told companies, including Google and Meta, about their concerns that Chinese companies could threaten the security of U.S.-owned cables, a person familiar with the briefings said. In some cases, the conversations have included discussion of Shanghai-based S.B. Submarine Systems, the person said. Senior Biden administration officials have also received briefings in recent months about the risks posed by Chinese companies, including SBSS, working on repairs to undersea cables, according to the person." https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/china-internet-cables-repair-ships-93fd6320

This video is four hours and 40 minutes long. At long last, let us sink our teeth into the rich history of an incredible racing game. Featuring a wealth of archived video, translated interviews and original source material, this review aims to tell the story of Sega Rally Championship for the Sega Saturn. Perhaps more amazing than its long lasting impact — is how much soul they managed to pack into a short arcade racer. Huge thanks to Random for creating some original songs, just for this video! You can find the uncut songs here:

Quei fantastici test giornalistici che non hanno niente di scientifico ma diventano più popolari dei risultati del telescopio Hubble. Ecco a voi qual è l'intelligenza artificiale discorsiva più affidabile (rullo di tamburi) Money quote: "With the help of Journal newsroom editors and columnists, we crafted a series of prompts to test popular use cases, including coding challenges, health inquiries and money questions. The same people judged the results without knowing which bot said what, rating them on accuracy, helpfulness and overall quality. We then ranked the bots in each category. We also excerpted some of the best and worst responses to prompts, to give a sense of how varied chatbots’ responses can be." Money quote 2: "What did these Olympian challenges tell us? Each chatbot has unique strengths and weaknesses, making them all worth exploring. We saw few outright errors and “hallucinations,” where bots go off on unexpected tangents and completely make things up. The bots provided mostly helpful answers and avoided controversy. The biggest surprise? ChatGPT, despite its big update and massive fame, didn’t lead the pack. Instead, lesser-known Perplexity was our champ. “We optimize for conciseness,” says Dmitry Shevelenko, chief business officer at Perplexity AI. “We tuned our model for conciseness, which forces it to identify the most essential components.”" https://www.wsj.com/tech/personal-tech/ai-chatbots-chatgpt-gemini-copilot-perplexity-claude-f9e40d26 Archivio: https://archive.is/jxENy

Le AI possono percepire le emozioni "guardando" il volto delle persone? Microsoft e altri ci stanno provando. E quindi? Molto semplicemente: no, non funziona. Money quote: "In 2019, the journal Psychological Science in the Public Interest engaged five senior scientists, including me, to examine the scientific evidence for the idea that people express anger, sadness, fear, happiness, disgust and surprise in universal ways. We came from different fields—psychology, neuroscience, engineering and computer science—and began with opposing views. Yet, after reviewing more than a thousand papers during almost a hundred videoconferences, we reached a consensus: In the real world, an emotion like anger or sadness is a broad category full of variety. People express different emotions with the same facial movements and the same emotion with different facial movements. The variation is meaningfully tied to a person’s situation. In short, we can’t train AI on stereotypes and expect the results to work in real life, no matter how big the data set or sophisticated the algorithm. Shortly after the paper was published, Microsoft retired the emotion AI features of their facial recognition software." https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/think-ai-can-perceive-emotion-think-again-2b4c7d29
