Heh. He's not wrong.

All in all, it exceeded what I thought I was going to get from out of the movie.
Weirder still, I think I'd like a sequel. I'm not sure how much endurance the property has. But, it's at least worth a shot. And, if they can keep this particular balance, I think it'd be solid.

Taking a second to actually type on here. (Feels weird)

So, I saw #MastersOfTheUniverse. It was legitimately good! I was surprised! I expected it to be fairly entertaining. But, it was actually good!

[artisan002 @artisan002]

Easily the biggest surprise for me is the fact that the movie's run time was 2 hours and 20 minutes! It absolutely did not feel that long. Bravo to the editing crew for keeping it all at a pace where I never noticed the time.

@ThatEricAlper Alas, you're a bit late. They already broke up.

Belgian visual artist Carole Louis is the creator of "Through Thousands," a sculpture constructed from thousands of plastic straws.

Like fiber optics, basically thousands of tiny “straws” guiding light across huge distances at near-light speed.

Unsurprising, if not outright predictable. Kinda looks like a job for @GamersNexus

@elecom_pr Ever since the Huge Plus came out, I've been hoping for a Deft Pro Plus.

@GamersNexus Good god. He's damned near daring people to harm him, especially being that smug over something so unproven as this.

Shark Tank Billionaire Kevin O'leary says 2 people fighting data centers in Utah are Chinese agents. Turns out its just 2 local girls in Utah, they make a hilarious video calling him the fuck out

I think about this bit fairly regularly to this day.

Would you let a computer hijack your muscle movements if it increased your performance 35%?

I totally would.

Came across a really interesting ACM paper today (SplitBody), where subjects were given difficult multitasking challenges.

Their mental load was “reduced” by having a computer electrically stimulate their arm instead. Bodily autonomy wise, it might feel a bit freaky, because you have the proprioception of your arm moving, but without the mental load of you moving it.

I think it’s actually less creepy than it sounds, and I wish more research was poured in this area.

Let me give an example. As a dancer myself, early on, aerials have a difficult initial mental barrier. The common way to learn is to essentially let your teacher control your muscle movements, repeating the overall motions, over and over again.

By sort of “proving” the movement is possible (giving up autonomy!) the concept suddenly clicks, and you’ll “just get it”.

I feel like there’s probably a lot of interesting biological barriers that could be overcome if you trained yourself to go past traditional limits by electrical stimulation first. Take a look at the Bannister effect!
