the CLOUD
by karlcow
The CLOUD proposes an entirely new form of observation deck,connecting visitors to both the whole of London and the whole of the world, immersing them in euphoric gusts of weather and digital data. Each individual footstep on the ascent to the CLOUD participates in a vast collective energy-harvesting effort. Everyone around the world can contribute to the Cloud - whether by visiting or by sponsoring an LED, helping to keep the London lamp aflame.
IE6ify Bookmarklet
by ycc2106
After years of observation and reverse engineering I am proud to say I have been able to reproduce the IE6 algorithm to break even the most standards-compliant websites. Since it’s not possible to run IE6 natively on Windows Vista or 7 and IE6 in Linux Wine is a nightmare, I figured a lot of you would miss the old days. With IE6ify you can break any website in true IE6 fashion.

Jet Profiler for MySQL
by Xavier Lacot
"Jet Profiler for MySQL is real-time query performance and diagnostics tool for the MySQL database server". I love the Query ratings feature and the live query observation - should replace the weak use of MySQL proxy.

Conditional Random Fields
by ogrisel
(via)
Conditional random fields (CRFs) are a probabilistic framework for labeling and segmenting structured data, such as sequences, trees and lattices. The underlying idea is that of defining a conditional probability distribution over label sequences given a particular observation sequence, rather than a joint distribution over both label and observation sequences. The primary advantage of CRFs over hidden Markov models is their conditional nature, resulting in the relaxation of the independence assumptions required by HMMs in order to ensure tractable inference. Additionally, CRFs avoid the label bias problem, a weakness exhibited by maximum entropy Markov models (MEMMs) and other conditional Markov models based on directed graphical models. CRFs outperform both MEMMs and HMMs on a number of real-world tasks in many fields, including bioinformatics, computational linguistics and speech recognition.
Project facade
by karlcow
The First World War was a war dominated by high explosives and heavy artillery. Battlefield casualties included an unprecedented number with horrific facial injuries - injuries so severe the men were commonly unrecognizable to loved ones and friends. Often unable to see, hear, speak eat or drink, they struggled to re-assimilate back into civilian life. This secondary tragedy - the living unable to "live" - catalyzed Surgeon Sir Harold Gillies to transform the fledgling discipline of plastic surgery based on his unrivalled observation of the profoundly wounded and his ability to push the parameters of the profession beyond all known techniques.

An interesting observation she made was that the real danger of young people online is less from sexual predators and other media fodder, but actually from exploitative marketing machinery.
Philip H. Farber - Meta-Magick
by borsky
Meta-Magick begins differently, with the observation and modeling of day-to-day human behavior that proves magical. We create magick spells, sigils, talismans, rituals in any number of ways that are so much a part of daily life that we often take them for granted. By identifying these existing elements of our daily behavior, we can learn to create new rituals of heightened power and beauty.
