On the plane crash in Croatia in 1996: Rescuers on Friday (5/4) recovered the remains of all 35 people killed when a US military plane carrying US Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, crashed on approach to Dubrovnik airport, southern Croatia.

US officials had originally said that 33 people were on the aircraft which slammed into the remote hilltop in stormy weather. But two more bodies have now been discovered in ...

Alain Connes on Toposes and Integers

Image
From Toposes in Como, 2018 . Alain Connes was a part of Nicolas Bourbaki . A really smart kid would say that you only need to learn exponentiation, then you already know how to multiply and add, because you can compose exponentials, so you know that (a^x)^y=a^(x*y) and (a^x)*(a^y)=a^(x+y). I did this once with a higher-order functor in Moscow ML. The result was a lamba expression with three curried arguments that did all three arithmetic operations.

State Azure - Fragments: Unattended Generative Modular Ambient

Image
It's a really good one, with lots of weather... See the comments on YouTube. The video description gives an idea about how it was created: I started putting the 'Fragments' patch together after getting Marbles (Cara) a little while ago (and Triple Sloths). I wanted to pair it with Sinfonion and my Ladik Skipper modules to create a generative piece that changes very slowly and subtly over a long period of time. While making the patch, I came up with an idea to create random evolving weather, which was going to be much more complicated but ended up being quite simple to patch, which I'll detail below. As some people noted, the patch ended up sounding similar to 'Waiting for Cousteau' by JMJ, one of my favourite ambient pieces of all time. Although that wasn't intentional when I started, it inspired a lot of my decisions. The patch took about a week to do, with most of that to fine tune many aspects, especially probability and setting attenuation and offsets ...

Gigi Young's Mars Mysteries 13 TechnOccult

Talking about Andreij Puharich and MK Ultra. This is right at the other end of the spectrum from Greek notions of human reason! See  Gigi Young - Simulation Theory (Spiritual Hierarchies vs. God As A Computer) . My comment: 26:50 On Puharich's tech-beings: Terrence McKenna often talked about the kind of intelligence that psilocybin mushrooms embody. He said it is a kind of machine intelligence. He calls them self-transforming machine elves. So it sounds to me like psilocybin is the source of those ideas of Puharich. Does he mention the drugs, I wonder? [31:13 the answer is yes!] Terrence McKenna's philosophy was much more grounded in Nature than technology.

See also  Sabine Hossenfelder - The Other Side of Physics .  The philosophical positions like pantheism and materialism with complexity can kind of merge and then it becomes hard to know what people mean by "the universe is a simulation" or "human reason is a necessary condition for us to be able to say anything meaningful about the world" in so far as when we talk about physical cause and effect we are talking about a kind of mechanism, but is that mechanism only in our descriptions of the world, i.e. is it a logical mechanism, or is it really out there in the shared reality we construct through reasoning about the world.
