Geometry, Physics, Philosophy and Politics With Dianna and Elizabeth And Friends

This is dense. It looks grim at the beginning, but it gets better, ... I promise!



At around 6:09 I got strong sense of deja-vu watching this. You would think one would have a strong sense of deja-vu all the time whilst one watched a video of oneself, but think again!
















Somebody with some photo-editing software might enjoy pasting those into a panorama, ...

There is more to this story, however. I distinctly recall making a video in which I explained why I was going to try and find the line which goes counter-clockwise (mapwise!) up the hill. I thought I had said I would think about physics and the meaning of the word "orient" and that this was as a result of a conversation I had had with "an intelligent man", and some thoughts about negative charge anti-symmetry. Was it because I insulted Benjamin Franklin earlier today? Maybe! Listen to this:

So did that video I made somehow get erased, or was it a false-memory that I invented myself, or am I schizophrenic? I don't know! I would need to speak to other people who know other things, ... Another part of the story involves the arrest of a man by the Guardia Nacional. I've never seen so many men with such big guns arresting a single person. It was remarkable!

That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory ...
