Heuristic (Ecogeographic rules 🌍)
A heuristic or heuristic technique is any approach to problem solving that employs a pragmatic method that is not necessarily optimized, perfected, or rationalized, but is nevertheless "good enough" as an approximation or attribute substitution. Where finding an optimal solution is impossible or impractical, heuristic methods can be use...

In this follow-up to the Merits of Meritocracy, I delved a little deeper into Trump and Plato's Republic.

I've been wittering on about the history and failings of Meritocracy, but I hadn't drafted a version for Substack.
👉 https://brywillis634737.substack.com/p/the-merits-of-meritocracyI've purposely left Trump, but clearly he's a central figure in this perspective. Very few situations merit meritocracy as a lens, but we seem to overextend it. It is certainly overrepresented in business.

Today, I explore patriarchy as a grammatical Sorites problem. What else is now? 🧐
As I think through the larger elements, I wanted to share a singular insight.

Last time, Thomas Nagel asked What's it like to be a bat? This time, I ask What's it like to be a human?

Objective reality is a heuristic resulting from constraints of subject-object grammar. Nagel asked What's it like to be a bat? But more fundamentally, what's it like to be human?

In defence of Sabine Hossenfelder, I posit that particles are not real or fundamental in any meaningful way. They are heuristic placeholders at best.

There is an underlying 'reality', but it is not material in any conventional manner. My thesis operates on scale-dependent mediation. Seeking peer reviews.

🎓 Ah, yes, the thrill of translating ENTIRE binaries without those pesky #heuristics. Because we all know guessing is for amateurs, and real professionals demand their code be as static and lifeless as a rock. 🪨 Let's all take a moment to thank the Simons Foundation for making such groundbreaking boredom possible. 🙏

🥰 Ever the romantic, I look under the covers at the calculus of matchmaking.

It should be no surprise to most that dating is not an economic endeavour (with some obvious exceptions). In this blog post and associated podcast, I articulate why.

«Сверхзвуковой математик» против «Вдумчивого логиста»: битва алгоритмов 3D-упаковки
Что будет, если столкнуть классический переборный алгоритм упаковки и «математику потока» на базе Numpy? Мы взяли реальный кейс на 398 предметов и проверили: можно ли за доли секунды найти решение, которое окажется дешевле и безопаснее ручного планирования. Внутри — разбор «Бизнес-Ассемблера», борьба с весовыми лимитами и ответ на вопрос: почему при КПД 61% по объему контейнер может считаться идеально упакованным.

Hype for the Future 126A: The Complexities of Travel Heuristics
Introduction While travel heuristics within the same street or within immediately adjacent streets can be unquestionable, numerous questions continue to remain regarding the preferred routes for vehicular traffic throughout any given region or place. Information Regarding vehicular traffic, travel heuristics include, but are not limited to, the traffic signals necessary in an effort to improve the safety and road conditions for such dangerous vehicles. While car dependency is already a […] -
Could it be that that #heuristics for that detection is actually detecting the fucking #MSEdge updater, Google Chrome updater, UI0Detect, and WerFault instead?

Hype for the Future 95B: Ohio State Route 124
Introduction Located in the southern portion of the State of Ohio, Route 124 is notable for serving the east-west direction between near the Ohio River to the east and Route 134 in the southern portion of Clinton County to the west. Serving the southern portion of the State of Ohio, a number of villages are covered along the route, many of which are economically distressed. The impoverished areas covered by Route 124 are especially evident in Meigs and surrounding counties in the State of […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/02/03/hype-for-the-future-95b-ohio-state-route-124/

Atoms and selves share an identity: They don't really exist. https://philosophics.blog/2026/01/17/the-useful-fiction-of-atoms-and-selves/?utm_source=masto&utm_medium=social
I've discussed selves at length, but how do they relate to atoms? Wrong answers only.
