I Seem To Have A Problem With Google

This video just won't play. All the other videos of Nathan that I've tried are OK. Not this one though. How come? Frank Stajano trying to buy himself some extra time?


I recognise that Google, particularly the AI bit of the thing, have a conflict of interest here. If they are sitting on some tech, like tensor-flow, and we are about to produce something that will very probably turn out to be a lot better, ... well, Frank, if anybody at Google tried to use their privileged position as communications intermediary to gain an advantage and hopefully beat us to it, ... then they would have made a terrible mistake. Just try it, Frank, if you don't believe me!

Having got to 6:24 I can't see why this video would be a problem because in Markus Kuhn's cryptography course that he produced early in 2015 he showed something like this in one of the diagrams. I think it was a geometric illustration of the GCD algorithm. So if this some sort of secret, then I would say that it's 'well out' now. See also this ...:


... and this:


... and this:


And I seem to recall describing something similar in Guerilla Logic or an earlier draft such as Revolution 3.

Now think about the point/line duality in projective geometry:


Now to see the connection with Galois theory and AI, have a look at these two superb videos:


and this:


Now look at this Faulhaber integral idea:


Then see How To Be A Genius Part II.

I suppose it's possible that it's the NSA who have a problem with me!

Stefan Molyneux on Resource Based Economy

Image
This is an interesting discussion. What most people don't realise is that capitalism as we practice it now wastes 99.9% of the human and material resources we currently use. Once you realise that, the problems raised by the idea of gift or resource-based economies become much more tractable. At  10 minutes 30 seconds  the discussion turns to the way we treat our family and friends differently. We don't charge our nearest and dearest. At this point Molyneux brings in Neo-Darwinian evolution to explain why there is this difference between the way we treat our kith and kin to the way we treat everybody else. I guess he will go on to argue that this is because we evolved to be like this, otherwise we would not have survived. He will presumably say that this is human nature and because it is genetically determined, nothing we can do short of a programme of eugenics and euthenasia will change that. Well, ... you know what my answer to that will be, ... something along the lines:

Nikola Tesla and the End of The World

At  1 minute 21 seconds  the building in the background, in Trafalgar Square , as she says "There is a story in our family that my great grandfather worked with Nikola Tesla, ..." is ... ... what? Hint: it is near to a statue of George Washington, a replica donated by the  Commonwealth of Virginia in 1921 .  See  War Crimes . Watch all four episodes of  Nikola Tesla and the End of The World  and then watch this: And on the meaning of the word sovereignty see: On the Mason-Dixon Line, the "boundary of slavery" in the American colonies, it might be insightful to compare the  Britannica  and  Wikipedia  entries and see where they differ. Then, especially if you're my daughter, see  On Feminist Genealogy . Then see this documentary about Mark Knopfler and what motivates his music. There's a nice bit at  17 minutes  about where songs come from, and what happens to their origin, and the role of Town Planners like my father, in this process, part

Sabine Hossenfelder - Lost in Math

Image
Sabine's book,  Lost in Math published in 2018. See  Rebecca Smethurst on the Crisis in Cosmology . Here's an interview on the subject of the book: At 16 minutes 27 seconds on aesthetics in a theory. I think you should worry first and foremost about whether or not it works, otherwise you are not doing empirical science. At 19 minutes 19 seconds on whether there would be better ways to advance physics other than by building the next generation of super high-energy particle collider. This is similar to military spending and it's really just an artefact of Keynesian monetary theory: that you can create 'wealth' by employing men to dig holes in the road and fill them up again. Of course you are not creating real wealth, you are destroying it and creating fake money. The upshot is that the better ways of spending much, much less money on encouraging sound scientific teaching and research are not of any interest, because they don't employ nearly so ma
