Heaven 2

Golden sunlight streams through thick clouds, illuminating their edges with a radiant glow. The contrast between light and shadow across the sky creates a dramatic effect, capturing a majestic moment of sunset.

I've never seen such a mystic panorama.
It looks like your lips—but it's too cold.
It looks like your nails—but it's too soft against my back.

Meta’s Smart Glasses Come Into Focus

Image
  Meta revealed new details about its latest Aria eyeglasses, which aim to give AI models a streaming, multisensory, human perspective.   What’s new:  Meta  described  its Aria Gen 2 smart-glasses platform in a blog post that focuses on capabilities relevant to research in augmented reality, “embodied AI” such as robot training, and “contextual AI” for personal use. Units will be available to researchers later this year. Meanwhile, you can  apply for access to Aria Generation 1  and  download  open source datasets, models, tools, 3D objects, and evals.   How it works:  Aria Generation 2 packs an impressive variety of  technologies  into a package the shape of a pair of glasses and the weight of an egg (around 75 grams), with battery life of 6 to 8 hours. A suite of sensors enables the unit, in real time, to interpret user activity (including hand motions), surroundings, location, and interactions with nearby comp...

Mere Christianity (C.S. Lewis) 06 - Chapter 4. What Lies Behind the Law

Image
Part 1. Right and Wrong as a Clue to the Meaning of the Universe Chapter 4.  What Lies Behind the Law In Chapter 4, C.S. Lewis takes the clue established earlier—the "Law of Human Nature" (the Moral Law)—and poses the most fundamental question about the universe: "What lies behind this law?" Through this question, he logically explores what the inner moral law we experience tells us about the nature of the universe. Two Views and the Limits of Science Lewis begins his discussion by presenting two major views that explain the universe. One is the materialist view, which holds that everything is the product of matter and chance. The other is the religious view, which posits that there is an intelligence and purpose behind the universe. Lewis reminds us that these two views have always coexisted since ancient times, dismissing the prejudice that one is more "modern" than the other. He avoids the old, exhaustive confrontation of "science versus religion...

Could I Be a Narcissist?

Image
1. Who Is a Narcissist? A narcissist is someone who exhibits an excessive attachment to and overvaluation of themselves. They tend to prioritize their sense of superiority, desire for recognition, and need for control over the emotions of others. The deeper the relationship, the more confusion and emotional harm they may cause. 2. The Root of Narcissism – The Myth of Narcissus The word "narcissist" originates from the Greek myth of Narcissus . He was so beautiful that many fell in love with him, yet he accepted no one's affection. As punishment from the gods, he became enamored with his own reflection in a pool of water. The problem? It was a love that could never be fulfilled. Unable to look away from himself, he eventually withered away and died or, in some versions, was transformed into a daffodil ( narcissus ) blooming by the water.  Despite variations in the ending, all stories share the same truth: He became so consumed by himself that he ultimately lost who he ...

Mere Christianity (C.S. Lewis) 03 - Chapter 1. The Law of Human Nature

Image
Part 1. Right and Wrong as a Clue to the Meaning of the Universe Chapter 1. The Law of Human Nature Men have long referred to the rules of right and wrong as the “Law of Nature.” Now, when we speak of the “laws of nature” today, we typically mean the laws of gravity, of heredity, or of chemistry. But thinkers of earlier ages had something quite different in mind when they called moral rules the “Law of Nature.” They meant, more precisely, the Law of Human Nature—the idea that just as physical bodies are subject to gravity, and living organisms to biological rules, so human beings too are governed by a kind of law. Yet here lies the essential distinction: whereas a stone cannot choose whether or not to obey gravity, a man can choose to obey—or disobey—this Law of Human Nature. And that difference, they thought, was of utmost significance. There is a reason why this moral rule—this sense of right and wrong—has been called the “Law of Nature.” It was thought to be something that all men...

My Vivaldi

Image
When people think of the violin, they often picture Niccolò Paganini (born 1782). And when it comes to Antonio Lucio Vivaldi (1678–1741), many Koreans may recall the ski resort in Hongcheon named after him or his iconic violin concertos 1 , The Four Seasons . But as for me, when it comes to the violin, my unequivocal choice is Vivaldi. One might even say he feels more “Bach-like” than Johann Sebastian Bach himself. Vivaldi was born in 1678, seven years before Bach’s birth in 1685. If one were to name three composers who truly stirred the waters of Baroque music, it would undoubtedly be Vivaldi, Bach, and George Frideric Handel. It is not that Vivaldi’s music feels like Bach’s—but rather, Bach’s music resonates with the spirit of Vivaldi. Bach deeply admired Vivaldi and loved his compositions. He even arranged many of Vivaldi’s string concertos for keyboard instruments, performing them widely. Thanks to this, Vivaldi’s music became more widely known and gained greater fame. Vivaldi’...
