Anche le menti più geniali del nostro tempo, come Gregory Bateson, hanno dovuto fare i conti con la propria famiglia di origine. E a quella di Bateson occorreva un vero genio per sopravvivere, gli altri sono finiti a fare i baristi nelle Marche.

Money quote: “Bateson’s own process of self-transformation began with a letter to his father in 1925. A year earlier, his parents had persuaded him to break off his engagement to a Swiss woman. She wasn’t English, she wasn’t a scientist, hence she wasn’t right. Sent off, in compensation, to the Galápagos Islands to repeat the fieldwork that Charles Darwin had done a century before, Bateson found the inhabitants far more interesting than the fauna. Pleading with his father not to be ‘terribly disappointed’, he wrote to tell him he needed to ‘break with ordinary impersonal science’. He would study people, anthropology”

Questo tizio mi fa impazzire. La prima cosa sensata che leggo da tempo. Molto tempo.

Siamo arrivati alla fine della crescita esponenziale?

Money quote: “Moore’s Law was based on the fact that you could change the physical structure [of computer circuits] without changing information content. You could halve the physical structure. Is there a pile of sand on my desk, or not? You take away half the grains, there’s still a pile of sand on my desk. You take away half of the remaining, there’s still a pile of sand on my desk. And we were able to do that, over the 50 years, 25 times or so. Until we got down to a single grain, which is where we are now. And we can’t halve the pile of sand anymore”

Ok, è arrivato il momento che facciate il vostro primo bagno nella Quantum Information Science

Money quote: “In Spring 2017, I taught a new undergraduate course at UT Austin, ennoscriptd Introduction to Quantum Information Science. There were about 60 students, mostly CS but also with strong representation from physics, math, and electrical engineering. One student, Ewin Tang, made a previous appearance on this blog. But today belongs to another student, Paulo Alves, who took it upon himself to make detailed notes of all of my lectures. Using Paulo’s notes as a starting point, and after a full year of procrastination and delays, I’m now happy to release the full lecture notes for the course. Among other things, I’ll be using these notes when I teach the course a second time, starting … holy smokes … this Wednesday”

La verità sulle storie delle intelligenze artificiali troppo intelligenti? Sono un modo nuovo per raccontarci storie di fantasmi, cioè per cercare di guardare nella oscurità al di là del fuoco attorno al quale ci siamo raccolti 50mila anni fa.

Money quote: “Some of Facebook’s AIs invented their own language, one incomprehensible to humans, at which Facebook’s researchers panicked and were compelled to pull the plug. At least, this was the story I heard on a Vanity Fair podcast. The host seemed deeply disturbed by the thought of these alien, almost Lovecraftian beings taking shape under the blithe gaze of an amoral tech giant.”

Elisir, amari, colori e belle donne molto svestite.

Money quote: “The color chartreuse is named for the liqueur. Like orange, which began as a fruit, this sharp and bright shade of green only secondarily became a color. According to legend, and to the Chartreuse official website, in the seventeenth century, the French diplomat and soldier François Annibal d’Estrées somehow came into possession of an “already ancient” manunoscript that gave instructions on how to make an “Elixir of Long Life.” “The manunoscript was probably the work of a 16th century alchemist with a great knowledge of herbs and with the skill to blend, infuse, macerate the 130 of them to form a perfect balanced tonic,” the poorly translated website says. D’Estrées gave this precious scrap of vellum (or paper, but more likely leather) to a group of monks living in a monastery outside Paris. The instructions changed hands a few times. It took over a hundred years for the monks to figure out how to properly brew the potion. But in 1737 they finally created a so-called elixir of health.”

Le colpe dei padri. Doloroso articolo di una figlia il cui padre lascia tutti e va in un ashram alla ricerca di se stesso, e invece tutti si perdono. Nonostante la narrazione potente non c’è un senso, c’è solo dolore. Fa paura, direi, entrare nella prospettiva di quella figlia.

Money quote: “Some years later, now running a commune in Tuscany, my father was to write a book called Wonder Child (1989). A self-help book for adults, it offered a guide to find the ‘magical world of innocence and joy within ourselves and our children’. It celebrates a child’s ability to live in the present with all its beauty and, following Bhagwan, denigrates the parental tendency to restrict and set rules. This, he writes, is what kills innocence.

Those families who raised their children within the ashram and at Rajneeshpuram were encouraged to give them up to the greater good of the multiparent family. It was forbidden, from the age of five, for children to sleep with their parents. Children were considered to obstruct their parent’s personal development. Many men, including my father, were encouraged to have a vasectomy on joining the movement; many women were sterilised, some when they were young.”

Posti che non esistono. Come fanno a nascere, per degli errori di digitalizzazioni, quartieri sconosciuti nel passaggio dall'analogico al digitale

Money quote: "IN SUMMER 2018, JEFF SISSON, a 31-year-old software engineer, was a new arrival to Queens, the largest borough in New York City by some 40 square miles. Sisson was getting to know his new environs by foot and bike, and one day while surfing Google Maps, he noticed something strange. He saw a designation on the map for something he had never heard of before, a place called Haberman."
