    1. ... psychoanalysis can and should make a basic contribution to a politics of autonomy. For, each person's self-understanding is a necessary condition for autonomy. One cannot have an autonomous society that would fail to turn back upon itself, that would not interrogate itself about its motives, its reasons for acting, its deep-seated [profondes] tendencies. Considered in concrete terms, however, society doesn't exist outside the individuals making it up. The self-reflective activity of an autonomous society depends essentially upon the self-reflective activity of the humans who form that society.[140]
    1. Ephemera are any transitory written or printed matters that are not meant to be retained or preserved

      interpret my things this way? even lots of great things have been ephemera for me. i might resist some degree of that ephemerality with more review, but still the all-in-hand vision is photographic, computed, and Idk. Those times of all-remembered - even thinking about that quality of experience draws a similar openness of memory, half-directed memory theater - did they come out eruditionally? idk. will interiority always be more profound? what does sharing violate? why computational fantasy, the religious experience

    2. Autopoiesis is just one of several current theories of life, including the chemoton[20] of Tibor Gánti, the hypercycle of Manfred Eigen and Peter Schuster,[21] [22] [23] the (M,R) systems[24][25] of Robert Rosen, and the autocatalytic sets[26] of Stuart Kauffman, similar to an earlier proposal by Freeman Dyson.[27] All of these (including autopoiesis) found their original inspiration in Erwin Schrödinger's book What is Life?[28] but at first they appear to have little in common with one another, largely because the authors did not communicate with one another, and none of them made any reference in their principal publications to any of the other theories.
    3. The term autopoiesis (from Greek αὐτo- (auto-) 'self', and ποίησις (poiesis) 'creation, production') refers to a system capable of producing and maintaining itself by creating its own parts.[1] The term was introduced in the 1972 publication Autopoiesis and Cognition: The Realization of the Living by Chilean biologists Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela to define the self-maintaining chemistry of living cells.[2] Since then the concept has been also applied to the fields of cognition, systems theory, architecture and sociology.

    1. One way that fractals are different from finite geometric figures is how they scale. Doubling the edge lengths of a polygon multiplies its area by four, which is two (the ratio of the new to the old side length) raised to the power of two (the dimension of the space the polygon resides in). Likewise, if the radius of a sphere is doubled, its volume scales by eight, which is two (the ratio of the new to the old radius) to the power of three (the dimension that the sphere resides in). However, if a fractal's one-dimensional lengths are all doubled, the spatial content of the fractal scales by a power that is not necessarily an integer.[1] This power is called the fractal dimension of the fractal, and it usually exceeds the fractal's topological dimension.[6]

    1. 根据维基百科介绍,这座大厦由Jose Mariano Ocampo(菲律宾人?)委托建造,建于1936年至1941年日本入侵菲律宾前夕。

      这座日本与西洋风格结合的建筑的灵感来自Ocampo对日本的钦佩,因为在当时,日本是亚洲最强盛的国家,日本的存在证明了一个亚洲国家可以现代化,与西方的发展和进步相提并论。他得到了两名菲律宾工程师和两名日本监督员的帮助。日本风格的结构是在日占期间建成的。由于建筑物中使用的高级钢筋混凝土,它成为第二次世界大战中日本和美国飞机之间空战期间民众的避难所。

      这座楼房的整体构造为三层高的日式建筑加上西北角的一座七层高的塔楼,这座建筑代表了Ocampo对日本城堡的愿景,位于他的豪宅后面。

      虽然受到日本的启发,但这座建筑是多种风格的组合。四面塔楼的底部两面装饰着并置的日本天窗山墙和华丽的博风板。在交织的山墙顶部是塔楼的上部,类似于中世纪的城堡建筑风格。它由带有防御性的齿状城垛。在塔楼的四角有悬臂式炮塔。在塔楼的顶端原有攒尖式的屋顶结构,在四角炮塔上还有四座日式小塔,但目前塔楼上的攒尖顶结构已经不存。

      根据博物馆专家兼马尼拉大都会博物馆馆长Victorino Manalo的说法,该结构中存在一个精致的符号世界。这些符号中最重要的是奥坎波的个人徽章,猫头鹰雕刻在下塔的主山墙下。

      这座豪宅从本质上来说是Ocampo的东方主义幻想建筑,虽然十分缝合,但确实很魔幻,很适合用作魔幻题材作品的参考,搬进迪士尼乐园也丝毫不违和。

      现在这座曾经的豪宅已经沦为马尼拉贫民窟的一部分,风光不再,但多了一点赛博朋克的味道。

    1. "Twist of Fate" is a song recorded by English-Australian singer Olivia Newton-John for the soundtrack album to the 1983 romantic fantasy comedy film, Two of a Kind. Written by Peter Beckett and Steve Kipner,[2] and produced by David Foster, the song was released as the first single from the album on 21 October 1983, and reached number four in Australia and Canada. It reached its peak position of number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 on January 1984, becoming Newton-John's last top-ten single on the chart to date. Billboard ranked "Twist of Fate" as the 42nd most popular single of 1984.

Pratt persuaded tribal elders and chiefs that the reason the "Washichu" (Lakota word for white man, loosely translates to Takes the Fat) had been able to take their land was that the Indians were uneducated. He said that the Natives were disadvantaged by being unable to speak and write English and, if they had that knowledge, they might have been able to protect themselves.

    1. computer engineering, microarchitecture, also called computer organization and sometimes abbreviated as µarch or uarch, is the way a given instruction set architecture (ISA) is implemented in a particular processor.[1] A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures;[2][3] implementations may vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[4]

      Microarchitecture (µarch) What Does Microarchitecture (µarch) Mean? Microarchitecture, abbreviated as µarch or uarch, is the fundamental design of a microprocessor. It includes the technologies used, resources and the methods by which the processor is physically designed in order to execute a specific instruction set (ISA or instruction set architecture). Simply put, it is the logical design of all electronic components and data paths present in the microprocessor, laid out in a specific way that it allows for optimal execution of instructions. In academe this is called computer organization.

      Techopedia Explains Microarchitecture (µarch) Microarchitecture is the logical representation of how a microprocessor is designed so that the interconnections between components – the control unit, the arithmetic logic unit, registers and others – interact in an optimized manner. This includes how buses, the data pathways between components, are laid out to dictate the shortest paths and proper connections. In modern microprocessors there are often several layers to deal with complexity. The basic idea is to lay out a circuit that could execute commands and operations that are defined in an instruction set.

      A technique that is currently used in microarchitecture is the pipelined datapath. It is a technique that allows a form of parallelism that is applied in data processing by allowing several instructions to overlap in execution. This is done by having multiple execution pipelines that run in parallel or close to parallel.

      Execution units are also a crucial aspect of microarchitecture. Execution units perform the operations or calculations of the processor. The choice of the number of execution units, their latency and throughput is a central microarchitectural design consideration. The size, latency, throughput and connectivity of memories within the system are also microarchitectural decisions.

      Another part of a microarchitecture is system-level design. This includes decisions on performance such as level and connectivity of input, as well as output and I/O devices.

      Microarchitectural design pays closer attention to restrictions than capability. A microarchitecture design decision directly affects what goes into a system; it heeds to issues such as:

      Performance Chip area/cost Logic complexity Ease of debugging Testability Ease of connectivity Power consumption Manufacturability A good microarchitecture is one that caters to all of these criteria.

    1. Television[edit] Newhart's success in stand-up led to his own short-lived NBC variety show in 1961, The Bob Newhart Show. The show lasted only a single season, but it earned Newhart a Primetime Emmy Award nomination and a Peabody Award. The Peabody Board cited him as: .mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 40px}.mw-parser-output .templatequote .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;padding-left:1.6em;margin-top:0}a person whose gentle satire and wry and irreverent wit waft a breath of fresh and bracing air through the stale and stuffy electronic corridors. A merry marauder, who looks less like St. George than a choirboy, Newhart has wounded, if not slain, many of the dragons that stalk our society. In a troubled and apprehensive world, Newhart has proved once again that laughter is the best medicine. In the mid-1960s, Newhart was one of the initial three co-hosts of the variety show The Entertainers (1964), with Carol Burnett and Caterina Valente,[15] appeared on The Dean Martin Show 24 times and on The Ed Sullivan Show eight times.[4] He appeared in a 1963 episode of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, "How to Get Rid of Your Wife"; and on The Judy Garland Show. Newhart guest-hosted The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson 87 times, and hosted Saturday Night Live twice, in 1980 and 1995. In addition to stand-up comedy, Newhart became a dedicated character actor. This led to other series, such as Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theatre, Captain Nice, two episodes of Insight, and It's Garry Shandling's Show. He reprised his role as Dr. Bob Hartley on Murphy Brown, appeared as himself on The Simpsons, and played a retired forensic pathologist on NCIS. Newhart guest-starred on three episodes of ER, for which he was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award,[4] as well as on Desperate Housewives and a role on NCIS as Ducky's mentor and predecessor, who was discovered to have Alzheimer's disease. In 2013, he also appeared on Committed and in an episode of the sixth season of The Big Bang Theory, for which he was awarded a Primetime Emmy Award, and which led to subsequent appearances in its seventh, ninth, and eleventh seasons.[16]

    1. Roberts's dissent[edit] Justice Owen Roberts Justice Roberts's dissent also acknowledges the racism inherent in the case although he does not use the word. He recognized that the defendant was being punished based solely upon his ancestry: This is not a case of keeping people off the streets at night, as was Hirabayashi v. United States, 320 U.S. 81, [p. 226] nor a case of temporary exclusion of a citizen from an area for his own safety or that of the community, nor a case of offering him an opportunity to go temporarily out of an area where his presence might cause danger to himself or to his fellows. On the contrary, it is the case of convicting a citizen as a punishment for not submitting to imprisonment in a concentration camp, based on his ancestry, and solely because of his ancestry, without evidence or inquiry concerning his loyalty and good disposition towards the United States. If this be a correct statement of the facts disclosed by this record, and facts of which we take judicial notice, I need hardly labor the conclusion that Constitutional rights have been violated.[12]

    1. Rāmāyana (/rɑːˈmɑːjənə/;[1][2] Sanskrit: रामायणम्,[3] IAST: Rāmāyaṇam pronounced [raːˈmaːjɐɳɐm]) is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India and important text of Hinduism, the other being the Mahābhārata.[4]

    1. The underlying principle is that a communication network should allow a user to focus on the data they need, named content, rather than having to reference a specific, physical location where that data is to be retrieved from, named hosts.

    1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_alphabet

      I was sort of hoping that there would be a more linguistic structured correspondence between the alphabet and numbers as a potential precursor of the phonetic major system, but alas no.

    1. squared absolute error in f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} in typical cases

      Because it's unimodal? So quadratic approximate works well in typical cases?

    1. 《异域》是作家泰德·威廉斯在 1996 年至 2001 年期间出版的科幻小说四部曲。

      故事发生在大约是 2082 至 2089 年之间的地球,虚拟世界已经完全融入了日常生活。全息虚拟现实装置的普及使所有人都可以进入一个共同的线上世界,在书中也被称之为“网”(Net)。用户们可以通过手术,在颈部后方植入“神经管”的生物端接口与庞大的“网”进行连接。

      故事的发展脉络很清晰鲜明:“网”这个巨大的虚拟现实世界中依然存在着鲜明的阶级差异,因此毫无疑问地,“网”的走向与构建依然被一小群最富有和最有权势的人们掌控,并且衍生出了一个神秘组织“异域”。小说描写的就是主角一行人试图揭开组织背后秘密的冒险经历。

      无情却强大的反派试图利用虚拟去统治现实,网络中的意识死亡意味着现实中也会面临永久昏迷,看似人为创造的操作系统成为了有生命的存在......科幻小说最迷人的部分在于模糊了现实与虚拟的界限,从而给读者带来无法明辨的恐惧与着迷。同样寄生在元宇宙的背景之上,却和《雪崩》要素众多的意识流不同,《异域》带来了一个可读性极强的完整故事。

    1. Andreas Kolbe 曾是报道维基百科相关新闻的《维基简讯》联合主编,上周他回《维基简讯》分享了一个警示故事:“维基百科上的一张照片会毁了你的生活。”

      两年多里,维基百科关于纽约连环杀手 Nathaniel White 的词条使用了一名佛罗里达州非裔男子的拘留照片,他碰巧和杀手同名。一位维基百科用户表示,他是在探索频道“真实犯罪”网站 crimefeed.com 上找到这张照片的,探索频道在关于这位连环杀手的电视节目中使用了同一张照片。 两年半时间里,维基百科词条展示了错误的照片,被浏览了超过125,000 次,包括在电视节目播出当天的近 12,000 次浏览。

      照片里的男子表示,他收到了人身威胁,那些人认为他真的是凶手,他开始乔装改扮。当人们在 Google 上搜索该连环杀手时到处都是他的照片。他最终向维基媒体基金会提起法律诉讼,“朋友和家人就电视节目联系了原告,询问原告是否真的在纽约州杀了人。原告向这些朋友和家人保证,尽管他承认自己的犯罪历史,但他从来没有杀过人,甚至也从未去过纽约州……”

      上个月,维基媒体基金会的法律总监和一名法律人士共同撰写了一篇博文,指出该诉讼“是在维基百科的编辑们于 2020 年 9 月主动纠正了相关错误的几个月之后才提起的。”博文称法官驳回该诉讼是“自由知识的胜利”,并承认受到《通信规范法》第230 条的保护。“我们维持和发展世界上最大的免费知识库的能力取决于强大的法律豁免权……维基媒体基金会对这一裁决表示赞赏,并将继续致力于保护互联网上的全球知识交流和言论自由。”博文还表示,“当这些不准确的内容出现时,我们志愿者社区的很多成员在发现并消除它们方面极富效率。”

      Andreas Kolbe 不同意这种说法。Kolbe 在《维基简讯》上写道:“这张照片在词条里存在的时间超过了两年。一个人在如此长的时间里,在排名前 20 的网站上以连环杀手的身份向世界展示他的脸,很难将这个社区的表现描述为‘极富效率’。”在一则新闻报道指出了维基百科使用了错误的照片之后,它才被删除。这意味着删除很有可能是被动的,而不是“主动的”。错误照片此前曾被一位不知名公众删除但又被恢复,该 IP 地址以前从来没有编辑过内容,此后也没有编辑过。整个过程志愿者社区似乎都完全没有意识到这个问题。

      Andreas Kolbe 认为维基百科需要反思,合理的回应应该包括—— 承认社区的流程在很大程度上造成了 White 先生的问题;提醒社区注意其质量控制流程需要改进;维基百科关于图像来源的指导方针、政策和社区实践——特别是用于暗示对特定罪行负责的图像——将因为一些加强措施而受益,以确保图像描绘的是正确的人。

    1. The principle of conferral is a fundamental principle of European Union law. According to this principle, the EU is a union of its member states, and all its competences are voluntarily conferred on it by its member states. The Union has no competences by right, and thus any areas of policy not explicitly agreed in treaties by all member states remain the domain of the member states. This indicates that the member states have the right to deal with all matters that fall outside the agreements of the Treaties and the EU can only act within the conferred competences defined by the Member States in the treaties

    1. On August 2, 2007, after an independent investigation, it was revealed that discredited South Korean scientist Hwang Woo-Suk unknowingly produced the first human embryos resulting from parthenogenesis. Initially, Hwang claimed he and his team had extracted stem cells from cloned human embryos, a result later found to be fabricated. Further examination of the chromosomes of these cells show indicators of parthenogenesis in those extracted stem cells, similar to those found in the mice created by Tokyo scientists in 2004. Although Hwang deceived the world about being the first to create artificially cloned human embryos, he did contribute a major breakthrough to stem cell research by creating human embryos using parthenogenesis.[104] The truth was discovered in 2007, long after the embryos were created by him and his team in February 2004. This made Hwang the first, unknowingly, to successfully perform the process of parthenogenesis to create a human embryo and, ultimately, a human parthenogenetic stem cell line.

    1. The first documented visit into New York Harbor by a European was in 1524 by Italian Giovanni da Verrazzano, an explorer from Florence in the service of the French crown.[43] He claimed the area for France and named it Nouvelle Angoulême (New Angoulême).[44] A Spanish expedition, led by the Portuguese captain Estêvão Gomes sailing for Emperor Charles V, arrived in New York Harbor in January 1525 and charted the mouth of the Hudson River, which he named Río de San Antonio (Saint Anthony's River).

      so the french get to claim new york after all? first it's the dutch and now this?

    1. Antonin Sertillanges' book The Intellectual Life is published in 1918 in which he outlines in chapter 7 the broad strokes a version of the zettelkasten method, though writing in French he doesn't use the German name or give the method a specific name.[11] The book was published in French, Italian, and English in more than 50 editions over the span of 40 years. In it, Sertillanges recommends taking notes on slips of "strong paper of a uniform size" either self made with a paper cutter or by "special firms that will spare you the trouble, providing slips of every size and color as well as the necessary boxes and accessories." He also recommends a "certain number of tagged slips, guide-cards, so as to number each category visibly after having numbered each slip, in the corner or in the middle." He goes on to suggest creating a catalog or index of subjects with division and subdivisions and recommends the "very ingenious system", the decimal system, for organizing one's research. For the details of this refers the reader to Organization of intellectual work: practical recipes for use by students of all faculties and workers by Paul Chavigny [fr][12]. Sertillanges recommends against the previous patterns seen with commonplace books where one does note taking in books or on slips of paper which might be pasted into books as they don't "easily allow classification" or "readily lend themselves to use at the moment of writing."

    1. As immigration rises, native workers are pushed into less demanding jobs, which improves native workers' health outcomes.[287][288]

      how immigrants taking higher risk jobs positively impacts natives

    2. Europe

      this article discusses immigrations impact on different countries rather than just the Untied States and how its impacted us

      a very broad look at immigration

    3. A slight reduction in the barriers to labor mobility between the developing and developed world would do more to reduce poverty in the developing world than any remaining trade liberalization.[191]

      ability of developing and developed world have to help poverty

    4. A 2021 study in the American Economic Journal found that undocumented immigrants had beneficial effects on the employment and wages of American natives.

      strict immigration policy leads to less jobs for the undocumented and worse employment and wages for American natives

      What does that say about the state of immigration in our country today?

    5. Legalization, instead, decreases the unemployment rate of low-skilled natives and increases income per native."

      impact of legalization of undocumented immigrants

    6. refugees to the United States brought in $63 billion more in government revenues than they cost the government.

      another way in which immigrants are contributing to this country rather than harming it

    7. A 2017 paper by Evans and Fitzgerald found that refugees to the United States pay "$21,000 more in taxes than they receive in benefits over their first 20 years in the U.S

      Contributing just as much to US government

    8. By increasing overall demand, immigrants could push natives out of low-skilled manual labor into better paying occupations

      contrary to the popular opinion here that immigrants are stealing the opportunities and jobs of "americans"

    9. Research also suggests that diversity and immigration have a net positive effect on productivity[112][113][91][114][115] and economic prosperity.[

      how immigration affects the work place

    1. Anger management is also a domain of mental health that is associated with the concept of self-awareness in teens

      This sounds very interesting, i would like to explore this more.

    2. Level 5: Self-consciousness or "meta" self-awareness. At this level not only is the self seen from a first person view but it is realized that it is also seen from a third person's view. They begin to understand they can be in the mind of others. For instance, how they are seen from a public standpoint

      i think the levels outlined are useful in thinking the progression of self-awareness in life. I would say that most people are at level 3 and 4. But when it comes to communicating with others being at level 5 is key to making sure relationships are being respected.

    3. In developing self–awareness through self-exploration and social experiences one can broaden one's social world and become more familiar with the self.

      This hits hard to my idea of self-awareness. It shows what the power of being self-aware can do for someone.

    4. Albert Bandura's theory of self-efficacy builds on our varying degrees of self-awareness.

      This idea of self-efficacy relates to Gary Vee's outlook on self-awareness and ability to execute.

    5. A theory of objective self awareness, states that when we focus our attention on ourselves, we evaluate and compare our current behavior to our internal standards and values

      This is a good way to encapsulate what self-awareness is. I like that this definition includes the words standards and values

    6. self-awareness is the recognition of that awareness.

      Was not aware of the idea of metacognition, might be more related to the topic I am interested in.
