I dislike how cramped both the living spaces and public spaces here in Serbia feel. It makes your soul feel cramped, and like it's always fighting for air. It's very rare to have specialized places like this in an apartment. I envy some countries (NA) for their space abundance.
NEW PAPER ALERT:🚨🚨🚨 An improved Causal Emergence 2.0 (better, faster, stronger) by @Abelaer and myself, is now out. We show how to engineer systems to be either really complex (causation spread out across the multiscale structure) OR have just a single emergent macroscale.
This is the best version of science - intriguing problems, communicated in an approachable way. Thanks for putting it together @erikphoel theintrinsicperspective.com/p/i-figured-ou…
the older i get, the more i realize that this is everything homes, churches, cities, water, power, courts, relationships, everything, everything must be tended with care and dedication, or it will be devoured civilization is an act of creation, and therefore love
I think there is also a component of leaders and broader society needing to have the “will to have nice things.” Every fountain everywhere will lose a battle with entropy. Someone needs to choose, and keep choosing, that the fountain is a priority.
I remember my high school band director running us ragged in rehearsals on a difficult piece, and finally we were relieved that we thought we had a handle on it, as we played the whole movement through. ‘Finally we’re done & can move on.’ He said ‘okay you have the notes &…
Extraordinary video. Too many extraordinary things to count. Most won't understand
Why do we build such ugly stuff these days? Look around: buildings, benches, and doors increasingly feel rushed and disposable. Somewhere along the way, we traded beauty for efficiency and craft for convenience. And so, I've produced the film below. To make it, I’ve partnered…
I’ve made a short film. Look at the things around you: doors, bins, staircases, furniture, railings, doorhandles, windows. Do you like how they look, or not? Modern design has become boring, but it doesn’t have to be this way. The word “beautiful” is overused. We don’t need…
4/ It’s not as strong as normal batteries yet, but the big advantage is scale: imagine houses, bridges, or sidewalks that also act as energy storage for solar and wind power. That could make cities much more self-sufficient in the future. newatlas.com/energy/mit-con…
Seems like thanks to ozempic we are maybe exiting the age of obesity, which we will then be able to see in retrospect (maybe) as a temporary period lasting from the rise of the superstimulus of modern food until the discovery of its pharmacological counter. If it plays out that…
hell yeah
Earlier this year, a 17-year-old high school student named Hannah Cairo solved a 40-year-old mystery about how waves behave, surprising and exciting mathematicians. @KSHartnett reports: quantamagazine.org/at-17-hannah-c…
This paper didn’t go viral but it should have. A tiny AI model called HRM just beat Claude 3.5 and Gemini. It doesn’t even use tokens. They said it was just a research preview. But it might be the first real shot at AGI. Here’s what really happened and why OpenAI should be…
