Re: Mondragon, compare https://www.igalia.com (how many of these are there?); the CNT may have lost at the barricades (and half-star forts), but there are still sparks among their embers?

I hear Portugal (not, specifically, the Man) is trying to host a Cambrian. Sorry, you have to find citations for that, should be an interesting exercise

The (mafic?) object of 18 May brings us right back to JvN and prediction vs control. Depending upon how isotropic a skipping stone one picks, the resulting trajectory may be predictable or chaotic: in a world of too cheap-to-meter compute and effectors, one might imagine a "skipping stone" with LEDs and some kind of mechanical effectors that could be used to write Peristence-of-Vision messages by "skipping" it across a lake surface?

Just an aside on Henderson: Everyone, even the atheist furry and the cis-Baptist, professes belief in equal outcomes for equal situations; the problems arise both because we all have differing discretion functions to determine situations given facts and law, and because we all have different equivalence* relations on outcomes. All a n i m a l s are e q u a l (but some are more equal than others) * consider reflexive…

Not me :) unequal outcomes is either plain observation, or fantasy --- only, the latter only, I might deign to call "beliefs".. Given, some may put observation and fantasy in the same equivalence class, I should like to encounter them. (Talented SWEs?/intermediate reppers(aka designers)?) EDIT: in case you missed it, follow-up on ANK (not KANs) https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=762

just skimming a poorly translated and poorly formatted english version of K,AN as viewed by his students...

> Perhaps Andrey Nikolaevich's approach to teaching was also influenced by the free postgraduate existence, which he later recalled as his happiest time. At that time, a graduate student was supposed to pass 14 exams in 14 different mathematical sciences. But the exam could be replaced by an independent result in the relevant field. Andrey Nikolaevich said that he never passed a single exam, but instead wrote 14 articles on various topics with new results. "One of the results, concluded Andrey Nikolaevich, "turned out to be incorrect, but I realized this after the exam was completed."

Now, that is the good stuff: Нужны Парижу деньги се ля ви / А рыцари ему нужны тем паче!

while I'm thinking about it: Kuznets waves remind me of buffering behaviour in chemistry — or bufferbloat across routers. (end of random synaptic activation)
