This is how you make fridge magnets.

Apollo 13's magnetic moon toy. The strong magnet, combined with balls that aren't resistant to getting magnetised will eventually magnetise the whole 13 ball set. After that they start sticking to metal parts of the game, most notably the ball trough and won't come out.

While everyone remembers Apollo 13 from its namesake 13 ball multiball, its rocket ball lock is quite a cool feature too! The rocket catches the ball, starts rotating upright and then drops the locked ball onto a passage under the playfield. The huge LED 7-segment under it is also a cool detail and something Sega used later in Starship troopers.

2/2 How can systems detect error? Not through action failure alone! Inconsistency detection (via info-redundancy) is cognition’s "immune system" (§5). It proxies falsity before outcomes—solving Bickhard’s access problem.

Truth isn’t a ghost in the machine. It’s Neurath’s compass: refined mid-voyage, indispensable for navigation, yet grounded in the ship’s structure.

The paper is published in Phenomenology & Cognitive Sciences (SI on Bickhard)

@KCDOZ And here's the mechanism in action for the curious ones out there:

@KCDOZ I think it has the most batshit crazy mechanisms ever made in pinball; the moving magnet that drags the mist multiball's locked ball across the playfield. To this day it blows people's minds when the newbies see it for the first time, wondering how it's done.

A Real Nuclear Option for Orbán’s Hungary - EU Scream podcast

Call it the real nuclear option for bringing Viktor Orbán’s Hungary to heel — but also call it a risky thought experiment. Tom Theuns of Leiden University wants to empower the EU to sever ties with a rogue member state like Hungary, where Orbán has fashioned an autocracy and set about cultivating the EU’s strategic rivals. Introducing an expulsion threat could push EU autocrats like Orbán to show more respect for rule of law and democracy, says Tom, while the current lack of any such mechanism has instead emboldened them. For now, Tom’s ideas still are legally theoretical, not to mention politically delicate. In his new book, Protecting Democracy in Europe, Tom envisages democratic states each leaving the EU and then immediately re-founding the Union — an EU 2.0 — minus any autocratic states. More than two dozen countries would need to coordinate national consents in advance, using the same EU treaty article that Britain used in Brexit. But if all doesn’t go to plan — think obdurate legislators, sudden calls for referendums, or a even French demand for more subsidies — the exercise could usher in the kind of political warfare that sinks the EU for good. Tom’s goal is, above all, to end what he calls fatalistic and defeatist thinking — that the EU must remain stuck in perpetuity with Orbán’s brand of kleptocratic illiberalism. “Supranational union with an autocratic state is a choice,” insists Tom. “EU member states can also choose to disengage.” In this episode Tom also reflects on what happened a quarter-century ago, when European authorities failed to block Austria’s far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ) from government, to elucidate a pattern of insufficient EU responses in the Hungarian context.

Sharkey's Shootout's main toy, the Mystery eightball. It's a magnetic diverter that take a ball from the left ramp and diverts it to left or right. It can also hold the ball, while the mystery feature is running. It has a rotating disc inside with a decoder ring for opto switches so it knows which way it's pointing. During the gameplay it shows you the prize you won in the same fashion as the magic eightball toy.

Denial isn’t always a conscious lie. In psychology, it’s a defense mechanism used to avoid emotional overwhelm. When faced with something threatening — like a breach that could cost money, reputation, or jobs — leaders and teams may retreat into cognitive distortions:
— ‘It’s probably...

Big Guns' backbox bagatelle game sounded somehow off. I investigated and sure enough, all 4 bolts that hold the upkicker mechanism onto the light panel were loose, with two nuts missing completely.

After some cabinet bottom searching and Loctite later it works and sounds as it should.

The old and the new #mechanism - part 2
- Explanation attempts for the understanding of the #reductionistic and #positivistic world view -

In this 2nd part of the article, in my opinion, the #complexity of #biological #systems is taken into account and in this respect the #mereological #fallacy in the old #mechanistic #world #view, that the whole is always more than the sum of its parts, is referred to as a #construction #error in #reductionism.
