The Eternal Doorman

📸 Steve Gullick, clothes Todd Lynn See her YouTube post : As a musical accompaniment to the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, here are some of the most fascinating and beautiful pieces of music I came across this year https://pjharvey.lnk.to/playlist-17ID I look forward to the year ahead and continuing to work on my next project, as well as concluding the 'I Inside' tour in Australia and Japan. Thank you to those of you who came to see the live shows, and thank you all for your support and interest throughout the year. I wish you a peaceful holiday and a wonderful year ahead. Polly

He starts out talking about Higher Education and goes on to talk about Corporations and how hard it is to produce scalable solutions to problems, ... I'm only half way through though. I hope he doesn't stop at computing, ... I am amazed at how hard it was to figure out what software I needed to create this PDF page: The languages are English, Greek, mathematics, SVG and Standard ML. The problem is the number of different pieces of concrete software involved. These are all fairly well-defined languages, but there is no software that actually knows what languages are in general, and how they can be translated one into another. At 41:30 he lost me completely. I didn't know what HANA is, I had to look it up. I think what he's saying is that by choosing what you "buy your way into" at the beginning, you have some control over what kinds of economic development happen in the future.  Maybe this explains the comment at 36:44 about businesses not being allowed to...

I had a copy of Mechanics, which was translated by John Bell:  I couldn't get past page one: It was the final paragraph that I didn't understand.

This is a really good movie starring Robert Redford, Dan Akroyd and Sidney Poitier. I saw it when it came out in 1992. This is a low-fi recording, but still watchable. You can watch the full movie in HD on YouTube if you have a credit card. Subscribe to Robert Redford . Subscribe to CRZLK .

It's really hard to know you've done these counting problems right, as I recall. There's a useful thing called called the Orbit-Stabilizer Theorem of a group action , but it's still easy to make a mistake. I guess that in these we're only talking about polyominoes made of squares, not ones made of equilateral triangles or hexagons, so it's not that complicated. Subscribe to Numberphile . Daniel Tubbenhauer has done a series of lectures on the Analytic Theory of Monoidal Categories, which is something he made up himself, I think. It's about the curious fact that some of these asymptotic formulae are far easier to prove than you might expect, based on how hard the underlying counting problems are. This is lecture one, which is actually the only part I even vaguely understand! The other four parts are in this playlist . Part II where he talks about sums and products and dimensions, ...

Avshalom Elitzur on Kurt Jaimungal's Theories of Everything Podcast. It's a very interesting interview but I'm barely an hour into it. 43:07 John Cramer's transactional interpretation of Quantum Mechanics: The transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics, Rev. Mod. Phys. 58, 647 (July, 1986) is based on Wheeler and Feynman's work on absorber theory in electrodynamics: The basic element of this interpretation is the transaction describing a quantum event as an exchange of advanced and retarded waves, as implied by the work of Wheeler and Feynman, Dirac, and others. The transactional interpretation is explicitly nonlocal and thereb...

The first time someone got a Fields Medal for a definition! See Daniel Quillen . I watched some of these and always found myself floundering after about a minute or so, ... I should have watched this one first. There is an amazing gallery of graphs of algebraic surfaces here: https://www.imaginary.org/gallery/herwig-hauser-classic The surfaces are just the 3D coordinates of a set of points (x,y,z) which satisfy some equation. For example the set {(x,y,z)∈ℝ^3 : x^2+y^2+z^2=1} is the surface of a sphere which includes irrational points such as (1/√3,1/√3,1/√3). These shapes are called algebraic varieties : "Classically, an algebraic variety is defined as the set of solutions of a system of polynomial equations over the real or complex numbers." So the subject of Algebraic Geometry seems to hinge on the idea of closed fields (such as the rationals or the reals) when they are considered as the domains of functions which represent systems of polynomial equations and questio...
