Nixpkgs uses the GitHub source, not the PyPI dist, for lightning; unclear to me from the advisory whether this should also be considered compromised.

Have a look at the join calculus and the "chemical abstract machine" as implemented in JoCaml, e.g., https://sites.google.com/site/winitzki/tutorial-on-join-calc...

Some of the theoretical work is available with keywords like 'multi-object tracking' or 'multi-object detection' and also applied to tasks such as pedestrian tracking for autonomou…

I didn't check if this research is still pursued or abandoned due to the rise of face recognition and other metric learning/re-identification technologies, but a few years ago a nu…

The logic of this study is typical of many modern statistical studies: 1. the authors fit a certain model, adjusted for certain covariates, and observe that a certain effect of int…

Direct action is an anarchist/autonomist idea of changing things directly rather than petitioning the government (see Graeber, Direct Action: an ethnography). It has literally noth…

Identifying degrowth with ecofascism isn't accurate.

Setting aside the obvious questions about how wild vs farmed animals are raised, wolves don't have a choice about what to eat, while humans do. Even if we wanted to improve the sta…

Conversely, at some point I decided to watch Sapolsky lectures based on human recommenders, but this caused YouTube to recommend not only other science lectures but also sensationa…

Not answering your question, but just to point out to readers that this article is about graphical models, not Bayesian neural networks.

The interesting part of this letter isn't any novel or lucid argument but what it's arguing against, which in the context of the mentioned earlier Ontario Hospital Assocation state…

This is rather uncharitable. Category theory is an essential part of the vocabulary of 20th-century mathematics. Large swaths of algebra, topology, geometry, and logic are fairly i…

This rather reminds me (very inexactly) of Behavioural Activation Therapy [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_activation ] although in that case the task intended isn't nece…

A friend has recommended Coecke and Kissinger's book, Picturing Quantum Processes, which takes an alternative conceptual approach to quantum computation based on string diagrams (n…

In my (admittedly PL-influenced) view the primary concepts in programming are: 1) Compositionality - primarily via functions which implement substitution, but also composition of l…
