Contra in Hackafe | Контра в Хакафе Пловдив | Premiere - Премиера

CONTRA IN HACKAFE That's my new short-film, where I'm a writer, director, actor, "make-up artist", "production designer", music composer and performer*, editor, animator, developer of the software for editing, ... and whatever. Contra (the name may adjust) is my new nickname, it's also an introduction of my new channel  "Hackerboy", I plan to create something like a "video log" regarding hacker's and hackerspace experience, however I guess it will be an "artistic one". CINEMATIC PREMIERE There was a pre-premiere...

Hackafe - Plovdiv's Hackerspace... CosPlay fun and a future short-film as Contra

   На български виж в блога на Twenkid Studio These are a few shots from the "after-shot" of a short action-fantasy-fan-CosPlay movie at Hackafe - the Plovdiv's hackerspace and co-working space.   I participated with that outfit at Plovdiv's "Night of the museums and the galleries" on 24-th of September - where I welcomed the visitors.

"Eat, sleep, code, repeat" - the funny and misunderstood plagiarism of "Eat, Sleep, Train, Repeat" from the fitness/body-building/weight-lifting context | Коментар на български за неуместната употреба на превъзнесени лозунги и възгласи. Сериозно - как да постигнем мускулен растеж?

Коментар на Тош относно: “Eat, sleep, code, repeat” is such bullshit" Despite the hype, programming is not an all or nothing endeavorhttps://m.signalvnoise.com/eat-sleep-code-repeat-is-such-bullshit-c2a4d9beaaf5#.bqfy8hnl9 Наистина, това е нелепо преписване на фитнесджийския лозунг: "Eat. Sleep. Train. Repeat." (Яж. Спи. Тренирай. Повтори.) на Google I/O 2016. В първичния си обслов обаче съветите са верни и описват основните правила за постигане на мускулен растеж: 1. Да се храниш достатъчно добре...

On Computer vision Visualisation and the limitations of human imagination and vision displayed in these renderings, and how it should be in a better thinking machine's vision visualisation - "The Terminator" film franchise/series as an example

Comment by Todor Arnaudov, inspired by/on: http://www.hudsandguis.com/home/2011/01/02/terminator-the-evolution-of-machine-vision I'm a fan of the Terminator and liked the article, but I'd challenge the statement in the introduction that the displays in the movie are: "how the robots would potentially see the world" I think it's rather how HUMANS imagine that they themselves would see the world with added "computerese", " coders' ", " programmers' " decorations on the screen/view, like pilot's screen, computer simulations screen...

Brain Training - new Commercial Slogans for simulation, simulators, data analysis, data science, sports practise, training, self-improvement, exercise, learning, thinking, observing, concentration etc. which are all "brain training"

A comment of mine on the topic of the marketing of the so called "Brain training" after an article at "Horizon Magazine" http://horizon-magazine.eu/article/brain-training-become-prevalent-physical-training-intelligym-developer-danny-dankner_en.html This edition is a slightly extended version of the one I left there. Neuroscience terminology applied to make simulation technologies more marketable? That is putting of the neuroscience/Broadmann-areas-maps etc. terms' into otherwise obvious stuff. Every...

AI Ethics | AGI Ethics and the ethics of the "emperors"' opinion about the danger of the thinking machines for the "survival of humanity"

An answer to: Business Accelerated  - Meet Amelia, the AI Platform That Could Change the Future of IT: http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/245827 English international ethics Just to mention how pathetic and inappropriately it sounds when an English professor in physics, sorry for being cynical - a bit caricaturically looking - is  cited as a "guru" who predicts and warns the world how dangerous AI is for the "future of humanity"... When his fellow "great" country England has conquered and robbed 1/4...
