ASAP YAM R.I.P

Rocky and Ferg broke the news but the label has now released an official statement confirming Yams’ passing. No word on the cause, but we will update when it is revealed. Many people don’t know that Yams started the A$AP Mob in 2007, and Rocky came along later in 2008. Read the label’s statement, and then the industry’s reaction to his death after the jump.

RCA:

All of us at RCA Records are shocked and saddened to hear of the death of A$AP Yams. As one of the creative forces behind A$AP Worldwide, Yams’ vision, humor and dedication to the members of A$AP Mob will always be remembered. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

World’s Greatest Husband Used A 3D Printer To Save His Wife’s Eyesight

Brain tumors are rare, but terrifying. Not least because they’re difficult to diagnose and harder to treat; when you start cutting into brain matter, there are going to be compromises. Fortunately for Pamela Scott, her husband Michael Balzer was on the case.

Scott was diagnosed with a mass behind her left eye, which was dismissed as common and just to be looked at a year later. Balzer, a 3D graphics expert, requested her medical files, mostly to keep them on record. Then, a few months later, another MRI said Scott needed immediate surgery: The growth had suddenly jumped in size. The surgery in question, however, involved lifting her brain out of the way. Balzer decided instead to get a second opinion:

Balzer [created] a 3D volume rendering from Scott’s DICOM images, which allowed him to look at the tumor from any angle. Then he uploaded the files to Sketchfab and shared them with neurosurgeons around the country in the hope of finding one who was willing to try a new type of procedure.

Balzer also used the models to print out a section of Pamela’s skull for doctors to test out the procedure. That model allowed them to better plan the surgery, and Pamela had her eyesight saved with a far less invasive technique.

It’s a pioneering technique but one that’s going to become more commonplace. As 3D scanners become standard for medical technology, and as 3D printers become more ubiquitous, surgeons and doctors will use more custom-fitted plastic models to plan out procedures before they cut anyone open. This is just the most dramatic demonstration of that… and an argument, for many, that we need this technology in hospitals sooner rather than later. See the link for more.

Meet Easton LaChappelle, The 19-Year-Old Luminary Building A Cheaper, Better Prosthetic Limb

Easton’s prosthetic arm came about because he met a little girl using a limb that cost $80,000. That struck him as far too much. So Easton taught himself robotics and combined open source designs with 3D printing to create a completely functional prosthetic arm. Even as Easton refines his designs, he’s using new and morepowerful tools such as the HP Sprout to post his designs online for anyone to refine, repurpose, and use. He’s not just creating one thing, he’s giving everyone the ability to be their own engineer, to take what was once an involved, arcane process and make it one anyone can do.

You May Be Able To Touch People And Objects Over The Internet By 2035

In perhaps 20 years, we could have a wireless network that would send and receive vast amounts of data in less than one millisecond. At that speed, we would be able to match the reaction speed the human body has to touching something, meaning we could control objects anywhere in the world, in real time, from a mobile device and get the sensation that we were controlling something right in front of us.

Gerhard Fettweis, a professor at the Dresden University of Technology, believes that 5G, the next generation of wireless technology, could be fast enough to create a network of instant-reaction internet devices, mimicking the experience of real life.
