take notes

The power of handwriting is undeniable. It is a process in which you really cannot think about anything aside from what you are putting on the paper, or else what you put down will be gibberish. Truly take the time to write down ideas for an article and then type out the entire thing later.

ethics in machine intelligence

A featured excerpt from The Mathematical Corporation by Josh Sullivan and Angela Zutavern.

In their new book, The Mathematical Corporation, Sullivan and Zutavern explore how company leaders can prepare for and accelerate the transformation to a new corporate model.

They do have a privileged view of the forces that will produce a mature mathematical corporation.

complaining is not good for you

Research shows that we complain every sixty seconds in a conversation. Complaining feels good. That's why we do it so much. It's getting something off our shoulders.

Complaining is repeat behavior.

Complaining sets our neurons free so we may do and pay attention to other things. The flow of information moves easier. Repeated complaining rewires our brains. That way the neurons come closer together so they "fire" better. The connections between the neurons become more permanent.

When we complain that makes future complaining more likely. 

By this process, complaining becomes our default behavior. People will perceive us differently. Can you see why complaining is damaging to the brain? Complaining is also stressful. It raises blood sugar and blood pressure. 

There's more. There is an increase in heart disease and the possibility of stroke. Be cautious about who we "hang" with. 

How to combat the health implications.

Be grateful. Daily. This reduces stress. Also, engage in solutions. Identify the purpose and go forward to reach a solution. Turn problems into solutions.

influence from hugo

"One can no more prevent the mind from returning to an idea than the sea from returning to a shore. In the case of the sailor this is called the tide; in the case of the guilty it is called remorse. God upheaves the soul as well as the ocean."
                                                                 - Victor Hugo, from Les Miserables

the problem of time

To unify quantum mechanics and general relativity, the "problem of time" crops up when encompassing the theory of quantum gravity. 

Time's steady ticks dictate the evolving entanglements between particles.
But in general relativity (Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity), time is relative and dynamical, a dimension that’s inextricably interwoven with directions x, y and z into a four-dimensional “space-time” fabric. The fabric warps under the weight of matter, causing nearby stuff to fall toward it (this is gravity), and slowing the passage of time relative to clocks far away.

Unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity requires reconciling their absolute and relative notions of time.
