NASA Posts a Huge Library of Space Sounds, And You're Free To Use Them
Space is the place. Again. And SoundCloud is now a place you can find sounds from the US government space agency, NASA. Many of these sounds were available before; I’ve actually used a number of them in my own music. Another thing: you’re free to use all of these sounds as you wish, because NASA’s own audio isn’t copyrighted. Let the space remixing begin. European Space Agency, your move. Update: ESA has started posting downloadable sounds on SoundCloud! Have you made music with space sounds? More Sounds Want more? It’s slower to browse, but there’s an even bigger library on Archive.org. NASA Audio Collection They’re all marked public domain (which is almost certainly the correct license for the above, not Non-Commercial Creative Commons). It gets weird. NASA also has a small page of sounds that seems to be the basis of the above, but the Archive.org collection is bigger. The University of Iowa has a selection of space sounds:Space Audio Comments 1. 2. Related:  Art & TechnologyPlanet Earth & Beyond

Perplexity AI. Une alternative à Google basé sur l'IA ? Perplexity est une start-up américaine fondée en 2022, qui a levé des fonds pour développer un moteur de recherche basé sur l’intelligence artificielle générative. Contrairement aux moteurs de recherche traditionnels, Perplexity répond aux requêtes des utilisateurs en générant un texte plutôt qu’en fournissant une liste de liens, ce qui lui permet d’accéder à des sources plus récentes. La société a recueilli 126,6 millions de dollars jusqu’à présent et elle vaut environ 520 millions de dollars. Son ambition : concurrencer Google, qui détient plus de 90% du marché de la recherche en ligne. Rien que ça. Il est encore trop tôt pour dire si Perplexity deviendra le moteur de recherche de demain, mais il représente déjà une option intéressante et une alternative crédible. Je l’utilise depuis dix jours pour toutes mes recherches. Comment fonctionne le moteur de recherche Perplexity ? Comment poser des questions à Perplexity AI ?

Dances With Google Glass | Carla Escoda In June 2013, Google launched a competition on Twitter soliciting bids from people interested in beta-testing its latest foray into wearable high tech. Since 'beta-tester' conjures up visions of bearded geeks in hoodies glued to their Retina displays, some marketing genius at Google coined the term 'Google Glass Explorers' and put a snapshot of a dusky model with pouty lips, a tousled mane, and a sleek band of titanium on her forehead, on the home page of Glass. (Photo: Reuters) The world was invited to pitch its ideas to Google, appended to the hashtag #IfIHadGlass. The winners would have to pony up $1,500 for the privilege of membership in a highly exclusive club of early adopters, but were expected to drive everyone else mad with envy. A year later, several thousand Google Glass Explorers find themselves roaming the earth, muttering "OK, Glass" and tapping their temples vigorously. Does it matter whether the masses think Glass looks dorky?

Space Engine - Home page The Best Productivity Tools of 2024| The Beautiful Blog We’ve all heard the saying “time is money”, but what does that actually mean? Regardless of your job, title, or industry, how you’re spending your day matters. And as we kick off the new year, we can all afford to be more productive. Productivity can be defined as, “the effectiveness of productive effort, especially in industry, as measured in terms of the rate of output per unit of input.” In simpler terms: How much are you getting done in the day? Whether you want to admit it or not, we can all benefit from tools that encourage us to allocate our time better. The importance of productivity tools, and adopting smart technology in the workplace, isn’t lost on us. Here are a few noteworthy productivity tools we think are worth trying this year. Beautiful.ai How much time do teams waste on creating a presentation from scratch only to get a sub-par design? Because Beautiful.ai works in the cloud, teams can sync up and get sign off in real-time, right from their browser. Jasper Motion Zapier

E-Traces: Ballet Slippers That Make Drawings From The Dancer’s Movements If you’re like me, then you may have been accused of dispensing some questionable moves in the vicinity of the dance floor. I’ve always maintained that my critics simply couldn’t grasp the subtlety of my particular style of physical expression, and now I just may have a means of illustrating my point with an ingenious piece of wearable electronics by designer Lesia Trubat González called E-Traces. The concept of Electronic Traces is based on capturing dance movements and transforming them into visual sensations through the use of new technologies. To do this we focused on the ballet shoes themselves, which through the contact with the ground, and thanks to Lilypad Arduino technology, record the pressure and movement of the dancer’s feet and send a signal to an electronic device. A special application will then allow us to show this data graphically and even customize it to suit each user, through the different functions of this app. [via Prosthetic Knowledge]
