The chip rush of #Vietnam is in trouble.
As explained by Mike, energy shortages will hit the country this spring. Again. Investors might move on. Some already did

Check out this story about the methods of #AI model training. The stacking. Etc. A qualitative critique.
It’s only by looking at datasets that we can get a better sense of how AI models work, and the gaps, errors, and biases that can emerge.
#arte has a solid documentary on #chips. Most of the big names of the ongoing public drama are featured.

And what a splendid inaugural #stsing conference it was! ❤️
#stsleakage with a keynote by Amade M’charek, emphasizing what academia can be, what it can achieve: carefully presenting and listening. A brutal case, neglect. Paying attention to the seas, migration, colonial pasts and presents, protest, humans missing and buried, songs, silence

Meanwhile, a critical book may be enough to get you into jail in #Hongkong. A book. #China is proud:
“We no longer need to worry about saboteurs…pushing Hong Kong into an abyss.”
#STSLeakage starts with a careful situating exercise, and the provocation that is leakage.
Susann Wagenknecht succinctly summarises the terms powers and weaknesses.
#sts certainly loves this term. It might be a problem. Or quite the contrary, the dominant terms still are others. 💧
Joining #STSLeakage in Dresden, here is some #streetphotography to get us going. To arrive.
A bit of smoke looming in the distance, a nod towards the first keynote by Nerea Calvillo, “Aeropolis or the Words of Leaking Airs”? It’s my first clean for months, so let’s trouble that.

#sts has a problem with #democracy. It follows from strong assumptions around democracy, e.g. through experts, citizen science, experimentalism, …

Rant on #Microsoft #Windows: Is there any bitter sweet blog post or whatever text tackling the SETTINGS and GROUP POLICIES and REGISTRY and whatnot levels of #software configuration?
It took me hours to turn on app access to mics. Terrible #ux.
Current mood.

I’m a fan (and soon co-editor) of idiosyncratic, speculative dictionaries. But what’s their story? Did it start with Serres’ “Le Trésor”? Surely not.
More recently: “Fuel” (Pinkus) or “Anthropocene Unseen” (Anand, Howe)
