Tsunami’s magnetic fields, AI dungeons, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2021#51)

Sci-Hub trials, entering The Matrix, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2021#50)
Two weeks to finish the year, and many rankings are starting to appear. I will try not to saturate the remaining recaps, but some are quite cool and I want to share them.

Blah, blah, blah; Bezosism moves, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2021#46)
Super interesting news this week. The Climate Change Conference ended and it kinda sucked (as expected). Amazon keeps screwing around (as expected). The metaverse is coming, and its start is not really impressive (as expected). On the bright side, a couple really cool articles on eyeglasses and the press. Let’s start: The invisible tech Good…

The Unity of the ring, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2021#45)
Super nice week where the only screen I used was the one protecting me from the sun. Ran a half-marathon using summer clothes, ate paella and empanadillas de pisto, saw family and friends. I read a couple books and saw some movies, too. I call it a win. Just a couple links that I could…
