“The Diary of a Young Girl” is a Dutch language diary written by the young Jewish writer Anne Frank while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. Although the diary and Anne Frank’s death in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp are well known, few are aware that the text has a complicated copyright history – one that could have […]

Learning AI doesn’t start with massive models.
It starts with learning how to predict numbers from data.

Linear regression is one of the simplest — and most important — foundations.

🐘 When Algebra Took the Floor — and Geometry Was Asked to Sit Quietly

Why an imbalance in mathematical language may have slowed progress.

We may not have lacked mathematics in fundamental physics — we may have over-privileged algebra at the expense of geometry.

Algebra is superb at conservation and symmetry.

Geometry tells us what is possible.

When geometry was demoted to “intuition,” we: • over-valued static solutions
• flattened scale dependence
• fragmented processes that were actually unified

Tunnelling, horizons, negative energy, spacetime shortcuts — same process, different geometric cost.

This isn’t anti-maths.

It’s a course correction.

Unfinished business

"A shameful death after a supermarket scuffle shines a light on Australia’s unfinished business. From compensation for the Stolen Generations to Indigenous recognition, Australia must follow words with actions."

"There is unfinished business in this country, and there can be no excuses for not knowing or understanding. We need to change direction and remove the burden from the most vulnerable."

"In a land of home improvers surely the principle of fixing the foundations first if you want to really close the gaps is obvious."

Time for #OilAndGasIndustry, #corporations, #foundations, #churches, and #Billionaires to become part of the solution and no the source of more disasters ... They have the money, resources, infrastructure, and expertise to convert from #fossilfuels to #hydrogen based economy. Everyone else needs to change diets, vote for change, and stop bickering about other people that don't look like themselves ... and boy do we have to hurry! #WeCanDoIt #GreenNewDeal #NewEconomy #CodeRedForHumanity

IN-DEPTH: For clean beauty brands, getting #PFAS out of #makeup might be easier said than done

“Even the most well-intentioned brands could experience PFAS problems.”

Elizabeth Gribkoff
Mar 24, 2022

"The [PFAS] compounds can be added to makeup to make products #WaterResistant, longer-lasting, and more spreadable. Until last year, there were no studies looking at how much PFAS were in North American cosmetics, although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is notoriously hands-off in regulating the safety of personal care products. With that in mind, a team of researchers from the University of Notre Dame, Indiana University, and other institutions tested more than 200 #mascaras, #concealers, #EyeShadows, and other cosmetics from North America.

"What they found surprised the researchers: roughly half the products they tested contained the PFAS indicator organic fluorine. Colored #lipsticks, mascaras, and #foundations advertised as '#LongLasting' or '#WearResistant' had particularly high levels."

Three of the world's most #influentialwomen have told #BBC News they want to end #childmarriage within a generation.
Michelle #Obama, Amal #Clooney and Melinda French #Gates announced last year a #collaboration between their #foundations to combat the problem.

At the current rate of progress, the #UN has warned it will not be eradicated for #300years.

But former First Lady Mrs Obama told BBC News: "It is an #issue that can be #solved tomorrow."
