I know, there are assholes like Musk and Bezos sitting on huge piles of fucking crap they call corporations. Then there are huge piles of fucking crap that have homeless encampments built on top of them. Places like IBM, Microsoft and Google.  We need to start recycling this shit, not making more of it!

Fran Blanche - Who Is This Fran Person?

Image
She's trying to get the attention of some people in a local organization in Philadelphia but they don't respond. She's asking for people to make comments on her video that might help them aprehend her. I would just tell them to look at these posts, but I can't post blogger URLs in YouTube comments without the comments being deleted:  https://eternaldoorman.blogspot.com/search?q=Fran+Blanche My guess is that it's The Franklin Institute , and that you have to be a freemason to be able get a job there, so I wouldn't even bother applying. Bit like getting a job at Cambridge University: if they offer you one you really wouldn't want to do it! Negotiate?

Fran Blanche - Comix! And Film

Image
  The Francast. She's talking about growing up with film. I grew up with film too, but we didn't have a projector of our own. My mother used to come and get me out of school at lunchtime to watch things like Jacob Bronowski's The Ascent of Man at a film club in Port Elizabeth. In contrast I made my daughter watch anime in Japanese and other things like Kill Bill . That's progress for you! Subscribe to Fran Blanche . The Ascent of Man Volume 1: Lower Than The Angels  (1973) Subscribe to Kimdino1 . Hearing Fran describing the film made me want to see it. This is the first clip I ran into. I don't know whether this the film she refers to, but I thought the commentary interesting, to say the least! Is this what Kennedy meant when he said "... and do the other thing"?

Fran Blanche on Some Awesome "Cost Is Not An Issue" IBM Engineering From The '60s

Image
This was before the idea of Integrated Circuits took its present form. What IBM did was identify modular component packaging and a system capable of expressing very complex circuits in terms of the modular packages. These were four-layer PCBs made in the early sixties.

Fran Blanche - Something Is Wrong

Image
I think it's that ordinary people do not have enough education to be able to discriminate between what is worth writing, reading and thinking about and what is not. Next thing you know they're going to be talking about raising funds to launch tens or hundreds of thousands of micro-satellites for Internet and drilling holes in people's heads to interface their brains directly with computers. ...

Fran Blanche and Sabine Hossenfelder on Intelligent Systems

Image
Subscribe to Fran Blanche . See my comment : 10:37 I don't get it!! If you know that there's going to be a run on toilet paper (or your bank or anything else) then it's not irrational to buy toilet paper, or withdraw your savings from the bank. Appearances are not reality, but they do affect reality. The solution is not to congratulate yourself on your own superior intelligence, it is to design supply chains and financial systems so that they aren't vulnerable to these effects. Obviously the free market would value such efforts, because they help to maximize the utility of money. But that doesn't seem to be the case, so there must be a problem somewhere, ...

Fran Blanche Musing on The Future of Computing

Image
My comment: 6:45 Why isn't this talked about? I remember my friend Markus Kuhn at Cambridge was writing pieces for a blog called The Conversation , which was was funded by the Betty and Gordon Moore foundation or whatever they called their philanthropical effluence outlet back in 2015. Betty and Gordon Moore paid for the library at the University of Cambridge Center for Mathematical Sciences in 1999/2000. The big problem is as you say that these problems are each being addressed within certain disciplines and there isn't enough intersection between the different disciplines to approach them in an holistic way. So you don't have people thinking about the thermodynamics of computation and software architecture and programming methodology and system and sub-system level integration all at the same time. But you have to, because these things all impact each other. It's interesting that after they raised funds for the CMS the Computer Laboratory got about $75 million from ...
