How to train your robot to write literature?

We, robot: the computer co-authoring a story with a human writer shutterstock. Shutterstock Leah Henrickson , Loughborough University In Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot, a collection of nine short stories about robotics, Asimov explores the possibilities of human-computer interaction. How can humans and computers co-exist? How can they work together to make a better world? A research group from the Meertens Instituut in Amsterdam and the Antwerp Centre for Digital Humanities and Literary Criticism recently introduced a new digital creative writing system. Using a graphical interface, an author drafts a text sentence by sentence. Then, the system proposes its own sentences to continue the story. The human and the computer work together to create what the system’s developers call “synthetic literature”. The paper detailing this project describes the text generation system as an attempt to: Create a stimulating envir...

What did Putin want by invading Ukraine?

For three years, analysts, specialists in the ex-Soviet space, military experts, political scientists, psychologists, journalists and chibits keep trying to guess why Putin invaded Ukraine. Difficulty is given by the apparent lack of any political and economic logic behind such a gesture. Ukraine has no use value for Russia. The northern neighbor of Romania has a wide range of natural resources and an important agricultural capacity. But Russia already has all of that. A hypothetical total occupation of Ukraine would not economically bring anything more to the Russian Federation. Moscow already holds a huge hinterland, whose management is already creating big demographic and economic problems. Expanding the territory would only create new problems for it. Ukraine's resources would bring it nothing new, and the military occupation of Ukraine or part of it would increase the risks related to riots and terrorism. In addition, Ukraine is not and has not been among the ...

Online advertising

The world still uses the predefined formats that prevailed in the early days of the Internet, when pages were mostly read on a desktop/laptop. Leaderboard, skyscraper, wide skyscraper, etc. But most users use mobile phones today. Those who want to serve static ads in image format have a problem if they want to display the same image on both desktop and mobile: none of the formats fit except square ones. Instead, add-on platforms have become more specialized, using codes to determine the user's screen size and serve the ad accordingly. However, what do you do when the user resizes? very large

The end of a Republican project - The Collapse of a Common Market

Import tariffs are a legitimate tool used by states to correct economic imbalances. All countries use them in one form or another, even if some, including the U.S., have chosen not to apply them to certain trading partners. The European Union operates as a common market, with zero tariffs on internal trade. Imports from outside the EU are taxed by each member state based on the type of product or service. Similarly, the U.S. created a common market with Mexico and Canada through the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), initiated by Republicans in 1988 (Ronald Reagan) and expanded in 1994 (George Bush sr.) and 2020 (by Donald Trump himself). The North American market became the third-largest in the world, after ASEAN and the EU. The sudden introduction of 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico for almost all product categories has led to the collapse of this common market, built by Republicans over decades. Before NAFTA The Trump administration’s decision does not me...

Symmetries (photos from the B-Cube series)

Author: N. Ï l ï e „The B-Cube photo series began as a test of a tablet app. The result was beyond expectations. It was extraordinary how architectural symmetry can be visually complemented with elements of optical symmetry to include within it (or extend it with) natural elements and primordial principles – such as sky and earth. The need for symmetry is or is not an aesthetic value. (More precisely, there are architectural aesthetics that rightly – and with spectacular results – deny the desire for symmetry). However, as a value or just a derivative of some aesthetic values, symmetry is, for us humans, a cosmic force.” Arta grafica In the many writings devoted to symmetry before it went out of fashion, it was considered, following Plato, an ingredient of beauty and harmony. Perhaps this was the mistake for which, after modernism, symmetry was considered boring and was gradually abandoned. In reality, it is not an ingredient of anything. Symmetry (like asymmetry and antisy...

For Russia, invading Ukraine was an economic boost

extract from the article: Beyond Trump - What can peace in Ukraine look like and what was on Putin’s mind when he started the war? Even though it has suffered heavy human and material losses, Russia is prospering from the war in Ukraine. Those who bet on Russia’s bankruptcy in a war it cannot afford have misjudged the situation. In the first year of the war, economic sanctions were completely ineffective. The EU has blocked some imports for a wide range of products, but has remained dependent on Russian gas. Even if quantities have been reduced in this segment as well, Russia has imposed price increases and made even higher profits than before the war. Thus, 2022 was the most successful year for Russia’s international trade. Only after that did the situation deteriorate to almost the level of 2016, but the trade balance remains positive. At the same time, the war economy allowed the Russian leader to force the ruble rate and consumer prices, on the one hand, and stimulated, t...

Cinematic reconstruction of famous and less famous paintings

Filmmakers and visual artists have often taken up themes and subjects that take old paintings and transform them into complex movie scenes or cinematic productions. All these approaches fall under the label "transmedia", that is, a subject or a theme is transformed from an artistic object (related to the media through which it is expressed) into another artistic object, with other means of expression and another vocabulary. (Film adaptation of a novel is a similar endeavor, but the translation from painting to cinematography, although not as easily recognized by the general public, is much more spectacular). Cinematic reconstructions of famous and less famous paintings involve bringing the visual and narrative elements of artworks to life through film. This can be achieved through various techniques, such as live-action adaptations, animated sequences, or even incorporating the paintings into the narrative structure of a film. Here are some notable examples: Famous Painting...
