Audrey Henson on the Paramount Warner Bros. Discovery Merger

It's a problem, when the last two media corporations merge, who is going to be able to report on it? The Free Press? Or a little outfit called The Ankler,.. 

The secret lynch-pin in the deal is Allen & Company:

In November 2013, Allen & Co. was one of seven underwriters on the initial public offering of Twitter... 

Allen & Co. was the adviser of Facebook in its $19 billion acquisition of WhatsApp in February 2014....

In 2015, Allen & Co. was the advisor to Time Warner Cable in its $80 billion 2015 merger with Charter Communications,...

In 2016, Allen & Co was the lead advisor to Time Warner in its $108 billion acquisition by AT&T,..

But nothing about the next brick in the wall,...

Tensor Fields and Simplicial Complexes

Listening to Freya Holmér last night I started to get glimmers of an idea I had long ago about how to represent vector spaces in computational processes using this recursive abstract type :  abstype 'a point = POINT   of {getx :  'a vector,       diff :  'a point -> 'a point,       move :  'a point -> 'a point,       scale : 'a -> 'a point,       proj :  'a point -> 'a} with    fun new i (op +) (op -) (op * ) dot =    let fun self x =  POINT       {getx = x,        move = fn (POINT pr) =>           (self (x + (#getx pr))),        diff = fn (POINT pr) =>          self (x - (#getx pr)),        scale = fn i =>          (self (x * i)),        proj = fn (POINT pr) =>     ...

Global Virtual Four Season School in The Foundations of Mathematics and Physics

This is happening everywhere, all year around, just because of the nature of actual Human Knowledge. Invited speakers: a bunch of people who all know what they're talking about . On light and the nature of photographic process: Silver halide crystals only go off when exposed to light at certain frequencies, so the crystals have to be embedded in a glycerine matrix with layers of dye to make the film respond to visible light.
