    1. language and the thing about which itspeaks

      Language shapes the world experience or reality because of our signifiers that create distinctions (the other/ the symbolic) and in turn we are shaped by our world experience (truth), and therefore shaped by language and the symbolic in itself.

    1. However,they are both skirting around the ambivalence of language to commu-nicate,

      Adds depth to my argument surrounding words as deception, as although the unstable meaning of words can detract from the truthfulness of expression of desire and therefore, identity, the ambiguity of words can also play for time and serve, here, as a secret space of understanding, perhaps because both Oliver and Elio are queer, but maybe also because they desire one another and to have is to be?

    1. Constructing a simplicial complex from data.

      Construction can be seen as follows - Paper 1 has 100 citations and has been published by A, B and C. Face with ABC as authors will have a value of 100. Paper two has a total of citations 50 and is published by A and B. We see the edge between A and B has a value of 150. We also observe the edge values >= face value. Since A and B have a total of 150 citations together we say that the value of the face corresponding to A and B will be 150. Face in this case will be an edge as the data is bounded by only two dimensions. The value of any vertices is the value of the total citations received by the author. A has a total of 160 citations with co-authorship with B, C, and D. Similarly we can see that the citations are an accumulation of citations received by each paper.

        • we end up with a non conceptual insight that:
          • we can then communicate
          • that we can discuss
          • that we can articulate
          • that requires that reason be present at:

    1. in equation B for the marginal of a gaussian, only the covariance of the block of the matrix involving the unmarginalized dimensions matters! Thus “if you ask only for the properties of the function (you are fitting to the data) at a finite number of points, then inference in the Gaussian process will give you the same answer if you ignore the infinitely many other points, as if you would have taken them all into account!”(Rasmunnsen)

    1. Duplicacy does not use file hashes at all to identify previously seen files that may have changed names or locations, but rather concatenates the contents of all files into a long data stream that is cut into chunks according to artificial boundaries based on a hash function.
