Je viens juste de découvrir le site et la graphiste Anna Vital.

The key to communicating visually is finding ubiquitous visual symbols that need no verbal explanation.

Most research in cognitive science explores how we see things but little research is done on how we understand what we see.

Understanding is the ultimate test of how good your visualization is. So how can you make people understand? Show something familiar and analogize. If you know nothing else about visualization but pick the right analogy you are more than half way there. This is what a professional designer does – and there is no substitute for analogies.

« Les routes empruntées par les camions qui passent influent sur le cours de la bourse. Il y a deux grandes entreprises dans l’univers du jeu, et si on fait exploser un camion, l’une d’elles n’est plus ravitaillée, le cours de l’action de l’autre explose. Un système influe sur un autre. C’est du génie. »
Mais pour cela, connaître le monde et ses rouages est indispensable, et il faut avoir les moyens de le documenter.

Vault 7: CIA Hacking Tools Revealed
▻https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1

Today, Tuesday 7 March 2017, WikiLeaks begins its new series of leaks on the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Code-named “Vault 7” by WikiLeaks, it is the largest ever publication of confidential documents on the agency.

The first full part of the series, “Year Zero”, comprises 8,761 documents and files from an isolated, high-security network situated inside the CIA’s Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Virgina. It follows an introductory disclosure last month of CIA targeting French political parties and candidates in the lead up to the 2012 presidential election.

Recently, the CIA lost control of the majority of its hacking arsenal including malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized “zero day” exploits, malware remote control systems and associated documentation. This extraordinary collection, which amounts to more than several hundred million lines of code, gives its possessor the entire hacking capacity of the CIA. The archive appears to have been circulated among former U.S. government hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner, one of whom has provided WikiLeaks with portions of the archive.

“Year Zero” introduces the scope and direction of the CIA’s global covert hacking program, its malware arsenal and dozens of “zero day” weaponized exploits against a wide range of U.S. and European company products, include Apple’s iPhone, Google’s Android and Microsoft’s Windows and even Samsung TVs, which are turned into covert microphones.

Since 2001 the CIA has gained political and budgetary preeminence over the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). The CIA found itself building not just its now infamous drone fleet, but a very different type of covert, globe-spanning force — its own substantial fleet of hackers. The agency’s hacking division freed it from having to disclose its often controversial operations to the NSA (its primary bureaucratic rival) in order to draw on the NSA’s hacking capacities.

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft captured these remarkable views of a propeller feature in Saturn’s A ring on Feb. 21, 2017. These are the sharpest images taken of a propeller so far, and show an unprecedented level of detail. The propeller is nicknamed “Santos-Dumont,” after the pioneering Brazilian-French aviator.

Mettez-vous à la place d’une multinationale qui essaie de nous convaincre que ça ne sert à rien de passer deux heures par jour en cuisine à peler des légumes et cuire des viandes ou du poisson, alors que vous pouvez acheter des magnifiques croquettes de poulet déjà cuites et surgelées, qui seront « prêtes en 5 minutes » : vous aussi, à la place de la multinationale, vous auriez tout intérêt à faire croire que les œufs sont mauvais pour la santé. Si on peut manger des œufs, pourquoi manger des croquettes de poulet surgelées ?

Mélanie Gourarier : « La masculinité contemporaine, c’est se gouverner soi-même pour mieux gouverner les autres » - Libération

En crise, le masculin ? Pas vraiment affirme Mélanie Gourarier dans Alpha mâle (sous-titré : Séduire les femmes pour s’apprécier entre hommes) qu’elle publie ce jeudi au Seuil. Elle voit plutôt dans les discours sur la féminisation des hommes et la confusion des sexes une volonté de conserver le pouvoir et le refus d’une égalité réelle entre les sexes.

This Picture Has No Red Pixels—So Why Do The Strawberries Still Look Red? - Motherboard

Since all this #color_contamination from light sources isn’t really useful (it would be super confusing if a ripe banana looked yellow in the morning but green at midday, for example), our brains have evolved to color correct. It allows the colors we see to look the same no matter the lighting.

“In this picture, someone has very cleverly manipulated the image so that the objects you’re looking at are reflecting what would otherwise be achromatic or grayscale, but the light source that your brain interprets to be on the scene has got this blueish component,” Conway told me. “You brain says, ’the light source that I’m viewing these strawberries under has some blue component to it, so I’m going to subtract that automatically from every pixel.’ And when you take grey pixels and subtract out this blue bias, you end up with red.”

Article très intéressant de #Zeynep_Tufeki que j’ai connu sur touitaire, je crois pour son activisme (place Taskim)... Là elle parle #musculation, #force #exercices_physiques #préparation_du_corps, en s’adressant surtout aux #femmes, même si moi aussi ça m’intéresse.

(Pssst. Carrying that low levels of bodyfat for women has lifelong negative consequences. Women and men really do differ in that aspect).

[...]

When it comes to strength training, the industry pushes women to under-exercise, and men to over-exercise, accompanied by pictures of people who almost certainly are not merely weight-training.

[...]

Part of the emphasis on abs, it seems, comes from the pregnancy and “post-baby body” industry that urges women to try to look like they never got pregnant. It’s a whole other ugly lie, bolstered by pictures of celebrities in their “post baby body” pics, and hides this truth: for most women, it is virtually impossible to “exercise” your way back to a pre-pregnancy body. Those celebrities? Surgery, mostly. And genetics: just like the industry tries to find those few people who are just genetically prone to being thin, the celebrity-fitness complex focuses on the exceptions. And, oh. The muscles you exercise (abs) and where you lose fat (tummy, etc.) are not related. Muscles are muscles, and fat is fat. Your genetics/body determines where the fat comes from.

All this lack of interest by the fitness industry on effective strength training is doubly ironic because besides the enormous health and fitness benefits for keeping up your muscles, no matter your weight, muscle is metabolically active. The amount of muscle you have determines how many calories your body burns throughout the day, even as you sit. Loss of muscle as we age (natural part of aging for both men and women) is one key reason we gain weight as we age, a concern that pushes many to exercise, but without strength-training—you see the irony. The more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns at all times, while an activity like running even a whole hour, not an easy feat, can be offset by eating a sandwich and an apple. And active people tend to get hungry, naturally, and add those extra calories to their diet. Besides, caloric restriction dieting (especially if it’s severe and without exercise) often results in muscle loss, which makes people even more likely to gain weight once they stop their diet, as their body now has proportionally more fat and less muscle compared to before the diet. They’ll now gain weight on even fewer calories per day, leading to further frustration and cycles of yo-yo dieting and weight gain.

[...]

Exercise because exercise.

A giant neuron found wrapped around entire mouse brain : Nature News & Comment

Like ivy plants that send runners out searching for something to cling to, the brain’s neurons send out shoots that connect with other neurons throughout the organ. A new digital reconstruction method shows three neurons that branch extensively throughout the brain, including one that wraps around its entire outer layer. The finding may help to explain how the brain creates consciousness.

On achève bien les mineur·es isolé·es étranger·es - Paris-luttes.info

L’Etat français a un problème avec les mineur·es isolé·es étranger·es. Avant d’être des étranger·es, ce sont des mineur·es, à ce titre protégé·es par la Convention internationale des droits de l’enfant que la France a promulguée il y a maintenant 28 ans. Alors, pour faire de ces enfants des sans-papiers comme les autres, l’Etat n’hésite plus, depuis juillet dernier, à les enfermer dans des centres, les DDAEOMIE, où des éducateur·ices zélé·es ont pour mission de déclarer majeur·es au moins 80% d’entre elleux. Et pour cela, toutes les méthodes sont bonnes : interrogatoires, menaces, humiliations, comptage de dents, test osseux... Si bien que ces jeunes, qui ont survécu à l’enfer de la traversée, deviennent en France des candidat-es au suicide. Jean, 16 ans, originaire du Cameroun, a accepté de témoigner.

he day my sister, Jessica, discovered Comic Sans, her entire world changed. She’s dyslexic and struggled through school until she was finally diagnosed in her early twenties, enabling her to build up a personal set of tools for navigating the written world.
“For me, being able to use Comic Sans is similar to a mobility aid, or a visual aid, or a hearing aid,” she tells me while we’re both visiting our family in Maryland. “I have other ways of writing and reading, but they’re not like they are for someone who’s not dyslexic.”

All fights in #Dragon_Ball_Z
▻http://www.datasketch.es/january/code/nadieh
http://www.datasketch.es/january/code/nadieh/img/all_fights_DBZ.jpg

By following characters from fight to fight you can recognize distinct moments from Dragon Ball Z. #Goku, although appearing in most fights overall, is still missing in action for very large periods of time. The reasons are the fact that he’s dead during the start of the Vegeta saga, recovering from injuries (twice) during the Frieza arc, suffering from a heart disease at the start of the Cell arc, and, well, dead again during the start of the Buu arc.

And, if you’ve seen the show, were you aware of how often Krillin participates in a fight? Or that Gohan doesn’t actually fight a bad guy in between the end of the Frieza saga and when he snaps and turns Super Saiyan 2 at the end of the Cell arc? (that’s more than 50 episodes!) Browse through all ±200 fights below to investigate the path of your own favorite character or, if you’re new to the show, get an understanding of DBZ through its fights.

Snowden has focused the next phase of his career on solving that very specific instance of the panopticon problem: how to protect reporters and the people who feed them informa­tion in an era of eroding privacy—without requiring them to have an NSA analyst’s expertise in encryption or to exile them­selves to Moscow.

Inside an AI ’brain’ - What does machine learning look like ?
▻https://www.graphcore.ai/blog/what-does-machine-learning-look-like
https://www.graphcore.ai/hubfs/images/alexnet_label.jpg#keepProtocol

Our Poplar graph compiler has converted a description of the network into a computational graph of 18.7 million vertices and 115.8 million edges. This graph represents AlexNet as a highly-parallel execution plan for the IPU. The vertices of the graph represent computation processes and the edges represent communication between processes. The layers in the graph are labelled with the corresponding layers from the high level description of the network. The clearly visible clustering is the result of intensive communication between processes in each layer of the network, with lighter communication between layers.
