Chase Fein is also looking for some more serious work. Anyone who can deliver a cheesy line like this and pull it off this well must be something special. See Julie Nolke - Did You Use The Inter-dimensional Portal.

Matt Hill teaches economics, ... Here's an interesing lecture on urban economics:

Part 2:

3:20 What is the log of a number? I think of it as approximately the number of digits in the number, interpolated in such a way that the sum of the logs of the numbers is the log of their product. This kind of gives an idea of why Zipf's Law might hold: the law is a kind of equilibrium condition that holds because of some sort of economies of scale acting within cities. So as economies of underpopulated cities rise or fall because of a surfeit or a deficit of funding they do so at a rate that preserves the correlation. Per Back had some interesting ideas about self-organized criticality that turn out to be connected to Maximum Entropy Modelling. This was quite nicely explained by Roderick Dewar in an article in Nature in the early 2000's. See Information theory explanation of the fluctuation theorem, maximum entropy production and self-organized criticality in non-equilibrium stationary states and Sadhguru and Karel Janecek in Prague.

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. 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 ...
