Curtis Webber - Arizona Flooding: The Last Video You Need to Watch About It

My comment:

This is really interesting, but to claim that it's the last video anyone needs to watch about it sounds ridiculous. Are you really going to exhaust the whole topic in fifteen minutes? Or do you just mean watching videos is a waste of time in general. You might be right in that case. [13:21 "All that water flowing through Phoenix wasn't wasted, some of it will soak into the ground and refill the aquifer". That's what your next video about the flooding in Arizona should be about, getting yourself an education!]

Same idea: but it's not wasted, ... some of it will soak in downstream, ... This project sounds like it's half a dozen people and some AI to handle the contractors.

On refilling aquifers, see Robert Mace - Texas Springs Are Drying Up and John Liu on The Real Economic Foundation. You need to do this over the catchment of the rivers, and states have to cooperate instead of suing each other.

John Searle's Chinese Room Argument

He's fed up with talking about this. I used to have a copy of the little book he wrote called Minds, Brains & Science. Apparently the AI at Google has read it too and gets it completely: How does stuff like this happen? Most people won't even notice what I'm saying even if I point out that the Google search changed the title. The book was really called Minds, Brains & Science , not Minds, Brains & Programs . (But maybe that was a later edition or something?) I asked Google and it said: John Searle's book Minds, Brains and Science did not become "Minds, Brains & Programs"—rather, they are two separate, distinct works published a few years apart: "Minds, Brains, and Programs" (1980): A landmark academic paper published in the journal Behavioral and Brain Sciences. This is where Searle first introduced his famous Chinese Room Argument to challenge the concept of "strong AI". "Minds, Brains and Science" (1984): A shor...

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) =>     ...
