UNHRC Q&A With Francesca Albanesi

8:20 I think there is also circumstantial evidence that Israel is deliberately prolonging the conflict. This comes from the statistics showing that the majority of the dead and injured are women and children. Those statistics, provided by Hamas, cannot be verified by the UN however, because they have no access to Gaza. If they are correct though, then this shows that civilians were deliberately being targetted, and the combatants left to continue fighting, giving Israel an excuse to continue the bombardment.

You can read the unedited version (25 pages) here: Anatomy of a Genocide - Report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, Francesca Albanese. See in particular this paragraph on page 7:

25. Seventy percent of recorded deaths have consistently been women and children. Israel failed to prove that the remaining 30 percent, i.e. adult males, were active Hamas combatants – a necessary condition for them to be lawfully targeted. By early-December, Israel’s security advisors claimed the killing of “7,000 terrorists” in a stage of the campaign when less than 5,000 adult males in total had been identified among the casualties, thus implying that all adult males killed were “terrorists”. [*] This is indicative of an intent to indiscriminately target members of the protected group, assimilating them to active fighter status by default.

David Hestenes - Tutorial on Geometric Calculus

This is a very high-level overview, and not too technical, for the first fifteen minutes at least. It's about the relationship between mathematics and physics and development of scientific ideas. At 40:11 he shows how Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics should have been written!

David Turner Obituary by Sarah Nicholas Fri 24 Nov 2023

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.

See also  Laplace Transform : Algebraic construction The Laplace transform can be alternatively defined in a purely algebraic manner by applying a field of fractions construction to the convolution ring of functions on the positive half-line. The resulting space of abstract operators is exactly equivalent to Laplace space, but in this construction the forward and reverse transforms never need to be explicitly defined (avoiding the related difficulties with proving convergence).  Mikusiński
