The Origin of the Research University—Asterisk
Universities have existed for more than a thousand years — and for almost all of that time, they weren’t centers of research. What changed in 19th century Germany?asteriskmag.com

There was a time when it seemed trivial to me that human intelligence was computable, in the sense that it can be emulated in a computer. But the truth is that there seems to be a certain consensus among experts that it is not, that it is basically inseparable from our biology and social environment.
This article gives a good historical context to this issue from the point of view of the attempt to recreate intelligence in machines.

The image shows a man taking a selfie in an industrial facility. He is wearing a dark blue t-shirt with a logo on the left side and a circular pendant around his neck. The facility has a spacious layout with large machinery and equipment visible in the background. The ceiling is high with exposed beams and fluorescent lighting. There are various pipes and conduits running along the walls, and the floor is concrete. A sign in the foreground reads "BEWEGT PAUSE," indicating a pause in movement. The overall atmosphere is clean and organized, with a focus on industrial processes.

Majas Zustand ist äußerst kritisch und verschlechtert sich zunehmend. Die Ärzt*innen drohen mit Zwangsmaßnahmen:
"Wie der „Spiegel“ am Donnerstag unter Berufung auf das Umfeld berichtet, soll Maja T. [...] ein Herzschrittmacher eingesetzt werden. Die Herzfrequenz sei zeitweise auf 30 Schläge pro Minute gesunken." tagesspiegel.de/politik/folgen…
Die deutsche Bundesregierung unternimmt nach wie vor nichts, um die rechtswidrige Auslieferung Majas rückgängig zu machen und die unmenschliche Isolationshaft zu beenden.
Es ist jetzt umso wichtiger nochmal sehr hohen Druck aufzubauen und Maja nicht im Stich zu lassen! Baut Druck auf CDU und SPD auf, nutzt eure Möglichkeiten um Öffentlichkeit zu schaffen.

L'Osservatorio Gemini e SOAR scoprono un legame sorprendente tra i transienti veloci dei raggi X e la morte esplosiva delle stelle massicce
Utilizzando una combinazione di telescopi gli astronomi hanno caratterizzato la supernova più vicina legata a un transiente veloce di raggi X. Le osservazioni rivelano che queste brillanti esplosioni di raggi X potrebbero essere il risultato di una morte esplosiva “fallita” di una stella massiccia.

La imagen es una ilustración en blanco y negro que muestra una escena simbólica. En el centro, un hombre mayor con gafas y una expresión pensativa está sentado en una silla, observando una fila de grandes dominós que se extienden hacia la derecha. Estos dominós son de tamaño considerable, casi tan altos como la silla del hombre. A la izquierda, un niño pequeño, vestido con una camiseta verde, está sentado en el suelo, jugando con una fila de dominós más pequeños que están siendo derribados, creando una cadena de dominós que se extiende hacia la derecha y se acerca a la fila de dominós más grandes.
El fondo es oscuro, lo que contrasta con la iluminación más clara en la parte superior izquierda, creando un efecto dramático. La ilustración utiliza técnicas de sombreado y trazos para dar profundidad y textura a los personajes y objetos. La composición sugiere una conexión entre el niño y los dominós más grandes, simbolizando posiblemente la influencia de las acciones de las generaciones más jóvenes en el futuro.

La mano que sostiene la manzana está envuelta en una prenda roja, lo que crea un contraste vibrante con el color de la manzana. En la parte inferior de la imagen, hay un texto en blanco que dice: "No digas que no tienes tiempo suficiente. Tienes exactamente el mismo número de horas por día que se le dieron a Helen Keller, Madre Teresa, Albert Einstein...".

Ask Hackaday: Are You Wearing 3D Printed Shoes?
We love 3D printing. We’ll print brackets, brackets for brackets, and brackets to hold other brackets in place. Perhaps even a guilty-pleasure Benchy. But 3D printed shoes? That’s where we start to have questions.
Every few months, someone announces a new line of 3D-printed footwear. Do you really want your next pair of sneakers to come out of a nozzle? Most of the shoes are either limited editions or fail to become very popular.
First World Problem
You might be thinking, “Really? Is this a problem that 3D printing is uniquely situated to solve?” You might assume that this is just some funny designs on some of the 3D model download sites. But no. Adidas, Nike, and Puma have shoes that are at least partially 3D printed. We have to ask why.
We are pretty happy with our shoes just the way that they are. But we will admit, if you insist on getting a perfect fitting shoe, maybe having a scan of your foot and a custom or semi-custom shoe printed is a good idea. Zellerfield lets you scan your feet with your phone, for example. [Stefan] at CNC Kitchen had a look at those in a recent video. The company is also in many partnerships, so when you hear that Hugo Boss, Mallet London, and Sean Watherspoon have a 3D-printed shoe, it might actually be their design from Zellerfield.
youtube.com/embed/4id0-vvu-u0?…
Or, try a Vivobiome sandal. We aren’t sold on the idea that we can’t buy shoes off the rack, but custom fits might make a little sense. We aren’t sure about 3D-printed bras, though.
Maybe the appeal of 3D-printed shoes lies in their personalizability? Creating self-printed shoes might make sense, so you can change their appearance or otherwise customize them. Maybe you’d experiment with different materials, colors, or subtle changes in designs. Nothing like 30 hours of printing and three filament changes to make one shoe. And that doesn’t explain why the majors are doing it.
Think of the Environment!
There is one possible plus to printing shoes. According to industry sources, more than 20 billion pairs of shoes are made every year, and almost all will end up in landfills. Up to 20% of these shoes will go straight to the dump without being worn even once.
So maybe you could argue that making shoes on demand would help reduce waste. We know of some shoe companies that offer you a discount if you send in an old pair for recycling, although we don’t know if they use them to make new shoes or not. Your tolerance for how much you are willing to pay might correlate to how much of a problem you think trash shoes really are.
But mass-market 3D-printed shoes? What’s the appeal? If you’re desperate for status, consider grabbing a pair of 3D-printed Gucci shoes for around $1,300. But for most of us, are you planning on dropping a few bucks on a pair of 3D-printed shoes? Why or why not? Let us know in the comments.
If you are imagining the big guys printing shoes on an Ender 3, that’s probably not the case. The shoes we’ve seen are made on big commercial printers.

in reply to AlternativeTo • • •The image features a modern computer setup with a focus on a monitor displaying FL Studio 2025. The monitor is centrally positioned on a wooden desk, with a sleek silver frame. The screen shows the FL Studio interface, including various audio tracks and waveforms, with the text "FL STUDIO 2025 What's New?" prominently displayed in the center. The FL Studio logo, an orange stylized fruit, is visible on the left side of the screen.
To the left of the monitor, there is a black speaker with a circular orange center, and to the right, another similar speaker. A small potted succulent plant adds a touch of greenery to the desk. A modern lamp with a gold finish stands to the left of the monitor, and a keyboard and mouse are positioned in front of the monitor. The background is a neutral-toned wall, and the overall setup is well-organized and aesthetically pleasing.
