A founding father of artificial intelligence talks about the great breakthroughs of his early years.
I'm sad to hear that Marvin Minsky has passed away. I love this interview with him in his amazing house from October of last year.
What a brilliant mind.
"My name is Danny Hillis, and I'm building a clock that will last for 10,000 years."
Public Record has released an excellent new video about the Clock of the Long Now. It's a great introduction if you haven't heard about the project, but if you've been following along you can see they've made a lot of progress in the last few years.
For more, check out the Long Now website or read Stewart Brand's book "The Clock of the Long Now"
What the resignation of a great auteur says about the future of Japanese video games.
As such, some people within the video-game industry contend that his resignation was less a result of personal or artistic differences than of tectonic changes in the businessânamely, the move away from console games and toward the domain of the mobile device.
If that were the case then why did neither the CEO or president of Konami show up to pay respect to the guy responsible for virtually all their videogame success?
It's a shame so much of Kojima's career was working for Konami. They clearly didn't deserve him.
I can't wait to see what he does next.
How the 1990s VR craze inspired an infamousand still misunderstoodfailed video game console.
Benj Edwards wrote an unbelievable thorough and surprisingly poignant history of Nintendo's ill-fated virtual reality console for Fast Company.
I've wanted a Virtual Boy for 20 years now, first as a piece of futuristic tech, later as a curiosity. I may finally have to buy one. What a great article.
Learn how to build a hugelkultur raised-bed garden and you'll cut your water use dramatically while building beautiful, bountiful soil.
I just discovered hugelkultur while doing some research for the raised beds I'm planning to build this fall. I'm really surprised I've heard about or seen one before. Fascinating stuff.
Lots more examples in this video.
Buckminster Fuller's "Operating Manual For Spaceship Earth" is now available on iBooks for iPad. It's the first of his 30 books to be available digitally.
BFI also started the Dymaxion Reading Group to coincide with the ebook. They are reading through Operating Manual during July.
The reboot of BattleBots premiered Sunday night on ABC and it was fantastic.
For some additional background and behind-the-scenes footage of the robots check out Tested's three part series "Meet The BattleBots".

Darkstar released a new mixtape and it's amazing. I've been listening to this thing daily since it came out earlier this spring. It has a Paul McCartney Cover ("Temporary Secretary" 12:00) and a Zomby collaboration ("Quandry" 23:10), what more could you ask for?
The whole thing is great, but my favorite songs are "Aidyâs Girl Is A Computer (Re-edit)" at 5:25 and "Earz" at 14:58.
I'm really excited about the new album.
We Got Buckminster Fuller's FBI File
Matt Novak at Gizmodo requested Buckminster Fuller's FBI file last year and just got it. This is the first time is't been made public.
âIt is felt that possibly the [redacted] purchased certain literature or books on architectural design from FULLER,â the file noted in the 1960 memo. âIn view of the prominence of FULLER and the small amount of payment involved, it would not appear that an interview of FULLER at this time is warranted or would prove profitable from a security standpoint.â
It sounds like a member of the KGB was interested in Bucky and purchased some books or other material from him. It's crazy that these documents still contain so much redacted information nearly 60 years later.
Spend Your Time Trying to Make Something Beautiful
Brian Eno was the guest on Monocle Magazine's "The Briefing" podcast this week.
The presence of the gas could be the result of a geological process or the product of microbes.
The presence of methane is significant because the gas cannot exist for long. Calculations indicate that sunlight and chemical reactions in the Martian atmosphere would break up the molecules within a few hundred years, so any methane there now must have been created recently.
An amazing discovery that is getting virtually no attention in the mainstream media. What an exciting time for Space discovery we are living in.
US team develop a robot that can send back live pictures from the Moon as part of attempt to win Google's Lunar X-Prize.
Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a robot which they plan to land on the Moon to act as eyes for Earth-bound space enthusiasts.
The robot is being entered into Google's Lunar XPRIZE. The contest awards $30M to the first team who can land a robot on the moon, drive it more than 500 meters, and send HD video back to Earth. But rather than just send video, they hope to provide a live feed from the robot to VR headsets on earth.
"The vision was simple - let anyone on Earth experience the Moon live through the eyes of a robot," explained team leader Daniel Shafrir.
"We weren't just going to go to the Moon. We are going to bring the Moon back," he added.
The telepresence robot, nicknamed Andy after university founder Andrew Carnegie, can be controlled by an operator's head.
Using an Oculus Rift headset, the movements of the user's head are tracked and sent back to Andy's camera so that it will match where the user is looking.
"Imagine the feeling of looking out and seeing rocks and craters billions of years old. Turn your head to the right and you see the dark expanse of space. Turn your head to the left and you see home, Earth," said Mr Shafrir.
Totally awesome. I want to get an Oculus Rift so badly.
Warp Records have signed Nozinja, the father of Shangaan Electro. "Tsekeleke" is his first single.
Totally awesome.
Sasha Frere-Jones profiles Brian Eno for The New Yorker:
âI have a trick that I used in my studio, because I have these twenty-eight-hundred-odd pieces of unreleased music, and I have them all stored in iTunes,â Eno said during his talk at Red Bull. âWhen Iâm cleaning up the studio, which I do quite oftenâand itâs quite a big studioâI just have it playing on random shuffle. And so, suddenly, I hear something and often I canât even remember doing it. Or I have a very vague memory of it, because a lot of these pieces, theyâre just something I started at half past eight one evening and then finished at quarter past ten, gave some kind of funny name to that doesnât describe anything, and then completely forgot about, and then, years later, on the random shuffle, this thing comes up, and I think, Wow, I didnât hear it when I was doing it. And I think that often happensâwe donât actually hear what weâre doing. . . . I often find pieces and I think, This is genius. Which me did that? Who was the me that did that?â
In this new, online-exclusivevideo forCriterion,Wes Anderson, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Murray, and Willem Dafoe reminisce about the challenging conditions under which they made The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
Man I love The Life Aquatic. See check out Criterion's behind the scenes photos from the set.
'High Lifeâ A new album from Brian Eno ⢠Karl Hyde. Listen to 'DBF' and download instantly with pre-order on Bleep, iTunes, Underworld Live, and Enoshop.
"Someday World"" is collaborative record between Brian Eno and Underworld's Karl Hyde. Warp records is releasing it on May 5th, but in the meantime you can stream it on NPR.
I've listening to it twice so far. While I like it, I much prefer the harder, more krautrock instrumental jams that they feature in this studio film.
IMPRINTS heads to Germany this week for some minimal mutations.
If you can get past the cringe-worthy introduction, "Vibe: Like you're a few hours into a Ritalin high", there are some interesting tidbits about the origins of Raster Noton in this VICE interview with Olaf Bender.
Also check out the two albums they picked tracks from. Both are excellent.
