I believe so but am not positive https://www.comaps.app/

I've been digging my recent experience with coMaps too!

 

In photography, painting, and other visual arts, middle gray or middle grey is a tone that is perceptually about halfway between black and white on a lightness scale; in photography and printing, it is typically defined as 18% reflectance in visible light.

It can seem like a specific area of interest to be sure, but Žižek spearheads a much wider influence of mainstream ideas than most would expect. If you stick around for a few posts, I'd wager you will soon be surprised at how familiar some of his concepts will feel to you. He is essentially a sellout at this point, but I will take all the luck I can get!🫡

 

The Arch Linux team has once again been forced to respond to a distributed denial-of-service attack targeting its AUR repository infrastructure. As a result, DDoS protection has been enabled for aur.archlinux.org to help mitigate the ongoing disruption.

While this measure helps keep the AUR website accessible, it has introduced a significant side effect: pushing to the AUR is currently not possible.

Insanely cool–thanks! I will hopefully see what you see in a dream one day

Surprisingly a lot less confusing than you'd think. Although I don't have any type of synesthesia tbh–I'd love to see the most familiar image with something resembling what you're describing honestly. Sounds amazing

How...how am I able to see this, without knowing fully what it is?!?

Al doesn't just assist our decisions, it structures what we think we want. The danger isn't machines, but our fantasy of freedom within a framework we didn't choose.

 

What is the role of philosophy today?
(Warning: there are a few pretty bad takes regarding things like IQ and what not, but I found a few other provocations somewhat redeeming imho)

 

Ideology is the symbolic structuring the imaginary (both the constitution of the Other and its occlusion) as well as intervening in the real (we actually landed Perseverance on Mars). The Real shows up in contradictions between and within ideologies, and in the astronaut's traumatic realization that his world, both mediated and produced, is shaped by the signifier. So not all hope is lost as there is still freedom in the real and always will be. There is still a chance that we might dodge the bullet.

tl;dr The astronaut discovers his world is a signifier-produced reality, and in that traumatic Real there's still one off-switch: always has been, always will be...maybe

 

much more can be achieved or revealed, if we don’t do things for the sake of ritual (a thing we must do according to status quo). Its a sort of stretching of the bounds or going beyond the horizons of ontology

 

Don't forget it!

Europe looks like Schrödinger’s cat, simultaneously at peace and at war.
