Heyo.
Its not a paper yet, but I got accepted at a conference to present my work at the end of september. If everything goes well I'll have to make a paper out of it.

That sounds great actually! Where will the conference be, and which?! Best of success for that.
Though wirting a paper can be super tough. It's like 20% learning by doing and 80% good feedback from colleagues I think.

Can you guys recommend some good industrial music artists/albums?


I could be remembering wrong but C0ndu1t always comes to my mind for industrial music.

There's also always old Nine Inch Nails, Pretty Hate Machine is a pretty good album.

Its this one icei2018.uni-jena.de.
I've never been to a conference and really looking forward to this. And the paper thing will be 100% learning by doing. I am not the only author and I won't stress myself too much about it. And since I wrote my bachelors thesis about exactly this, half of the work will be just translating from german to english.

RDR2 looks neat, but I can't help but feel it is just like every other AAA open world game except with a shinier coat of paint. Not to mention the generic buzzwords of "a living, breathing world" and "a deep combat system" voice overs while we don't get a good impression of either. I will give it some props for details like carrying weapons on your horse and a dialogue system that doesn't need to take you away from the game into another text menu.

Either because every developer borrowed from the Rockstar formula or there's now a universally agreed upon idea of what an open world game needs, they all look and play the same.

It will be a regurgitation of american cinema with a western theme and good open world design. Just like every other main line Rockstar game.

I just watched "Big Short" and I feel depression kicking in. So that's fun I guess.

I read the 30,000 word NYT Magazine feature on climate change and felt my optimism about the future sapped away just like that.

Lol we'll just reflect the sun with a giant space mirror.
If we exploit fossil fuel now and invest the profit we can easily pay for research and development as well as deployment of the actual thing.
BAM climate change solved.
That should qualify me for a presidential election nomination in the US.
