"In an extraordinary and somewhat devastating discovery, it turns out virtually the entire Scots version of Wikipedia, comprising more than 57,000 articles, was written, edited or overseen by a netizen who clearly had nae the slightest idea about the language. ... The result is tens of thousands of articles in English with occasional, and often ridiculous, letter changes – such as replacing a “y” with “ee.”

- amazing. i'd wage that this is done by some ulster scots advocate. they've invented a language over the last 10 years based on scottish pronunciation of englishkingsteven
- words in order to counter the protection of ancient ulster irish. because it would direct funds towards irish nationalist communities in the north.kingsteven

"Non-statistical methods of imitating handwriting are always fairly easy to identify as synthetic due to the uniformity of strokes and unnatural kerning (among other things). Even methods which incorporate random variations don't hide these artifacts sufficiently well. In my opinion, the only way to generate synthetic handwriting which is convincingly real is to use statistical methods (i.e. machine learning) to model all variation which is present in real handwriting. I've implemented a neural network in javascript which does exactly this"

- Doesn't much like rarer glyphs, so X and Q and some punctuation marks, etc, confuse it a bit. if that happens, just re-generate until it works. Or doesn't.Nairn

- Aye aye, it's not perfect. That'd be perfectly fixable with a half-second tweak in Illy, but I was lazy and in a rush.Nairn

Seeing that Stussy pic in Ad of the day reminded me of this:
https://garywarnett.wordpress.co…
One of, if not the, best blogs and writers on streetweat, music, and fashion. Sadly no longer updated, but the guy did amazing research and has great writeups about various labels - the history behind Nike's ACG line, SuperDry's continuing executive incompetence, the glory days of late the 80's/early 90's sneaker explosion... A great rabbit hole if you are even casually interested in such things.

One of the true pioneers of the web and Flash, Matt Owens, has archived all his Volumeone work in a way that can be enjoyed after Flash vanishes from our screens later this year by making videos of each project
If anyone has archived Flash work, please do the same... video grab what you have before it's too late.
This one spoke to me:

- + for Matt.
It has been inspiration to me since 90szaq - I met with Matt in the mid 2000's when we had our work featured at a Flash Film festival. He was an all around nice guy. I'm glad to see he built his studio.utopian
- I was so inspired by his work in the early part of my career. Amazing stuff.ronburgundy
- Matt was my biggest influence as a young designer. Truly inspirational stuff.showpony
