Bastante curioso: seis Puertoriqueños, nueve tios y una sola tia. Ningún grupo, sólo cantantes y todos del mismo palo. Y comparando, sólo el Bad Bunny en común con los artistas "globales".

“Maybe some very intelligent people never make mistakes at the supermarket,” she said, referring to Weber and Dorfmann. “But a lot of people in my region do. They don’t always see the difference clearly.”

Llevo desde Julio jugando al Elden Ring. No a diario pero si varias horas casi todas las semanas. He muerto de todas las formas posibles y he amagado mucho con no volver a jugar. Ya solo quería acabar y volver a mi vid. Pero, ahora que se acabó… 😢 que curioso el apego que genera la dificultad.

Why do I include poetry in a presentation about data visualization? Because cartography IS poetry.
The ocean is not literally blue. The land is not literally green.
Symbolism, metaphor, language, cultural context and history all inform map making.
Both exercise the same brain-parts.

Guess I'm a freelance corporate consultant now because I just led a really fun session walking a group of software developers through some mind bending relationship visualization problems.

Ahora que Mamdani ha ganado y va a dejar de ser esa cosa tan sexy que es un político en campaña para convertirse en la mucho menos sexy que es un político en el cargo, me acuerdo de esta escena de The Wire, que a mí siempre me hizo sentir mucha empatía por la denostada clase política así en general.

No hay que olvidar esto: www.eldiario.es/rastreador/d... Tras el primer uso del sistema de alerta por SMS, un montón de idiotas peligrosos generaron la polémica de que mandar alertas era de comunistas. Me pregunto hasta qué punto esto estaba en la cabeza de los que tuvieron que decidir en Valencia.
La derecha política y mediática se revuelven contra la alerta de la AEMET: "Es una estafa monumental"

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.
Ethan Evans, former Amazon VP As VP of Prime Gaming at Amazon, we failed multiple times to disrupt the game platform Steam. We were at least 250x bigger, and we tried everything. But ultimately, Goliath lost. Here's why: The 15+ year long attempt to challenge Steam started before I was VP of Prime Gaming, but we never cracked the code. Not under my leadership or anyone else's. The first way we tried to enter the online-game-store market was through acquisition. We acquired Reflexive Entertainment (a small PC game store) and tried to scale it. It went nowhere. Then, after buying Twitch, we created our own PC games store. Our assumption was that gamers would naturally buy from us because they were already using Twitch. Wrong. Finally, we built "Luna," a game streaming service that let people play without a high-end PC. Around the same time, Google tried the same thing with their product "Stadia." Neither gained significant traction. The whole time, Steam dominated despite being a relatively small company (compared to Amazon and Google). The mistake was that we underestimated what made consumers use Steam It was a store, a social network, a library, and a trophy case all in one. And it worked well. At Amazon, we assumed that size and visibility would be enough to attract customers, but we underestimated the power of existing user habits We never validated our core assumptions before investing heavily in solutions. The truth is that gamers already had the solution to their problems and they weren't going to switch platforms just because a new one was available We needed to build something dramatically better, but we failed to do so. And we needed to validate our assumptions about our customers before starting to build. But we never really did that either. Just because you are big enough to build something doesn't mean people will use it

And it’s thus no coincidence that right-wing parties have used exactly this kind of images before in a similar manner: if your politics is all about offering imaginary solutions to mostly phantasmatic problems, generative AI is the perfect tool for propaganda. Every slogan can become an image

Es curioso pensar que en el tiempo en el que ha pasado esta enmierdificación ha coincidido con la popularización masiva del “diseño de experiencia de usuario”. Por mucho que te centres en mejorar tu pequeña parcela de features… al final no se puede ganar contra el capitalismo

The expressive speed vs information 'bit rate' of spoken languages.
French and Vietnamese have the highest information density.

via The Economist
www.economist.com/graphic-detail
Stacked area chart comparing syllable rate and information rate across 14 languages. Two columns show distribution curves for syllables per second (4-8) and information rate in bits per second (30-60). Japanese has highest syllable rate, while Vietnamese conveys information fastest. Languages vary in speech speed vs information density.
