I collect cool, interesting links spread all over the web and share them here in daily posts. Hope you enjoy! More of them in the archive.
Singularity (6min31s). The new short film from Blender Studios, from the renowned open-source 3D editor. I thought it was pretty cool.
The AI Resist List (in English). A database of initiatives resisting the AI empire. Among the site’s creators is journalist Karen Hao, who is launching her latest book in Brazil, The AI Empire, published by Rocco.
Fits on a floppy. A manifesto for small software (in the sense of: taking up little memory space). The page itself includes a semi-hidden game where you have to click on flying floppy disks. For those under 30, “floppy disks” are the save buttons. Tip from Rafael.
Parallel Cities. Literally which cities are at the same latitude. A shout-out to folks in Pretoria (South Africa) and Windorah, latitude “neighbors” of Curitiba.
Hexagon world map. The map is dynamic and renders in just 10 KB of code.
Weather Replay. A weather forecast history for the whole world since the 1940s, based on data from the Copernicus Observatory of the European Union. (Works in Brazilian cities and any other country too.)
Where Now? A kind of “personal Foursquare,” this app marks the places of interest you’ve visited — and everything stays local. Markings can be manual or automatic. Free, for iOS.
