I was just reading something about ghosts and it dawned on me that.. ya never see people finding ghosts that speak other languages.. and.. statistically speaking.. that's pretty unlikely..

Guest article by Dr. #Bernhard #Weßling: “#Origin of #randomness, #complexity, #crises and #time”
I like to put the #theses contained in his new book up for #discussion on my #science blog. That's why I'm now looking forward to possible, even “coincidental” #resonances and look forward to numerous #comments on the topic.

Nothing is more damaging than clinging to an identity. Any identity.

56KBPS?! That's madness. That defies the Shannon Limit. No good can come of this.
Blazingly slow
Perfectly uniform distributions if you believe in it
Impure, unreproducible, and indeterministic
Cryptographically secure, perchance, I think?
Significantly more efficient than all known alternatives
Why ll you want something diagonally opposite to the goals of nix ?

So.. I guess if they're eating employees you need to keep track of it..

An Article in the Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics on Turbulence by KR Sreenivasan and J Schumacher
https://www.annualreviews.org/content/journals/10.1146/annurev-conmatphys-031620-095842
What is the turbulence problem, and when can we say it’s solved? 
This deep dive by Sreenivasan & Schumacher explores the math, physics, and engineering challenges of turbulence—from Navier-Stokes equations to intermittency and beyond. A must-read for anyone fascinated by chaos, complexity, and the unsolved mysteries of fluid dynamics! 
A summary of the talk presented by KR Sreenivasan in December 2023 at the International Center for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS-TIFR) in Bengaluru, as part of a program on field theory and turbulence.

@CptSuperlative On randomness, still my favourite article of the past two decades, "If you can't choose wisely, choose randomly", by Michael Schulson:
As moderns, we take it for granted that the best decisions stem from a process of empirical analysis and informed choice, with a clear goal in mind. That kind of decision-making, at least in theory, undergirds the ways that we choose political leaders, play the stock market, and select candidates for schools and jobs. It also shapes the way in which we critique the rituals and superstitions of others. But, as the Kantu’ illustrate, there are plenty of situations when random chance really is your best option.

Much more, and apparently heavy reliance on a couple of books I'd still like to read, by Michael Dove, Michael Stone's The Luck of the Draw: The Role of Lotteries in Decision Making, Robert Finlay's Politics in Renaissance Venice, and a few others.

So I'm watching the original Japanese Iron Chef and at the beginning of each show is a quote..
You've heard,
"You are what you eat"
but that's not really the original quote.. it's this.. beginning every episode.
"Tell me what you eat, and I'll tell you what you are"
Brillat-Savarin
What a completely different thought.
Ya ever think about pets from their perspective?
Like randomly somebody grabs you and starts rubbing you all over all the time. And do you really think there would ever be a time you would wander over to some creature 10 times your size and snuggle up to go to sleep?
It's pretty weird if you look at it from their perspective.
Yesterday, I was reading a #randomness chapter in my #GameDesign book. I got to thinking. I'm a city builder, RTS kind of guy. Where does randomness fit in there, except for procedural world generation and stuff like the chance an archer hits the target? Does anyone have ideas?
