hellooo fedi!!!

i am overdue for an #introduction:

i am a transfem artist based in #adelaide, kaurna yerta and have a background in #gamedev, specifically #virtualreality. i cant stop thinking about #transreality experiences, #pervasivegames, and other transmedia storytelling ( #ARGs! ), but most of my artistic practice would be in what i would more broadly call participatory #performanceart

i love #opensource, #diy (as in punk), #openscience, and building and pulling apart systems!!

In case you missed it... last week I announced a big new project: the Center for Immersive Arts, an immersive history project and archive! cfia.org

I'm exploring the history of alternate reality games, theater, LARP, escape rooms, theme parks, VR/XR, and more

(Check out the thread for details!)

More #ARGs should use the #Fediverse.

For example, someone could set up a Mastodon instance for an #ARG about a small fictitious county and make accounts for each citizen posting about bizarre events in the county, and can contribute to their ARG's lore by answering others' questions and generally interacting with comments from the Fediverse.

It's like how people set up accounts for characters from their ARG on Twitter or cryptic channels on YouTube.

Nice new work from Doc @edge on recovering polygenic scores from ancestral recombination graphs.

Scalability vs accuracy.

biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

bioRxiv · Evaluating ARG-estimation methods in the context of estimating population-mean polygenic score historiesScalable methods for estimating marginal coalescent trees across the genome present new opportunities for studying evolution and have generated considerable excitement, with new methods extending scalability to thousands of samples. Benchmarking of the available methods has revealed general tradeoffs between accuracy and scalability, but performance in downstream applications has not always been easily predictable from general performance measures, suggesting that specific features of the ARG may be important for specific downstream applications of estimated ARGs. To exemplify this point, we benchmark ARG estimation methods with respect to a specific set of methods for estimating the historical time course of a population-mean polygenic score (PGS) using the marginal coalescent trees encoded by the ancestral recombination graph (ARG). Here we examine the performance in simulation of six ARG estimation methods: ARGweaver, RENT+, Relate, tsinfer+tsdate, ARG-Needle/ASMC-clust, and SINGER, using their estimated coalescent trees and examining bias, mean squared error (MSE), confidence interval coverage, and Type I and II error rates of the downstream methods. Although it does not scale to the sample sizes attainable by other new methods, SINGER produced the most accurate estimated PGS histories in many instances, even when Relate, tsinfer+tsdate, and ARG-Needle/ASMC-clust used samples ten times as large as those used by SINGER. In general, the best choice of method depends on the number of samples available and the historical time period of interest. In particular, the unprecedented sample sizes allowed by Relate, tsinfer+tsdate, and ARG-Needle/ASMC-clust are of greatest importance when the recent past is of interest—further back in time, most of the tree has coalesced, and differences in contemporary sample size are less salient. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.

Anyone know of a librarian with an interest/specialty in immersive design work (including but not limited to immersive theater, escape rooms, alternate reality games/ARGs, spatial computing/VR/AR/XR, transmedia work), who would be willing to advise on metadata, organizing digital collections, and similar topics? Please send them my way!

Thank you so much to everyone who has listened to my new #DarkAmbient #music release "The Crypt", about the encrypted layer of the #DarkWeb home to the rogue AIs crawling up to the surface web wreaking havoc all over the world!

Inspired by #CreepyPasta, #AnalogHorror, and #Internet #ARGs.

Enso

Hi! I'm Enso. Figured doing a short #introduction for new folks.

i'm currently a student studying #UX & a #CSTEM ambassador by day, #jrpg streamer by night. i like #gaming, #anime, #tech, #visualdesign, #tech, #gamedev, #args, & #painting.

When I'm not busy, I'm:
+ playing #HonkaiStarRail, #Falcom games, #Destiny2, or my backlog of #IndieGames.
+ making fan-made themed ARGS
+ Smothering my #cat w/ love (his name is 光: Hikari)

Nice to meet y'all ✨💖

New study shows that composite samples taken over 24 hours at an urban #wastewater plant give a much more accurate representation of the level of antibiotic-resistant genes (#ARGs) in the water. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (#CDC), #antibiotic resistance is a global health threat responsible for millions of deaths worldwide.

For the record, the reason I have worked so hard to expose online #psyops is that a long time ago, I accidentally helped invent them.

In particular, I have fought #QAnon for 28 months because I found out it stole some of my ideas and weaponized them to hurt people. I was on the team that created “alternate reality games” or #ARGs for Spielberg, Halo, The Dark Knight, etc.

QAnon is a malevolent ARG. ICYMI, Mike Flynn is Q.

#Introduction: I started building #worlds on the #internet nearly 30 years ago. I’m an expert in #AR, #VR, #AI, and #ARGs.

Over 2 years ago, I started exposing the people abusing the digital world to #radicalize people and destabilize global #liberal #democracy.

I was banned from the #birdsite w/60k followers and smeared by hundreds of sadistic trolls because I exposed #MikeFlynn, #QAnon and the #insurrection

Grateful for #mastodon and my new home toad.social. 💙🙏🇺🇸🏴‍☠️:toad:
