Nitpick of the nitpick... Temperature is actually an intensive quantity, i.e. combining two subsystems with the same temperature yields a bigger system with the same temperature, not twice bigger.

The anthropologist Philippe Descola with his main work Beyond Nature and Culture has been trying to classify the nature/culture relations by studying comparatively several societies.

The section on comp time is written in a way which makes you think that zig invented the concept. It slightly irritated the lisper in me...
Great article apart from that.

Coming from a quantum physics point of view, it is very strange to see the term "topological fields" in this context !
Do you have recommended references about these grammatical constructs ?

There is an expanding field of study looking at machine learning with statistical physics tools. While there is still a lot of work to do in this area, it yields interesting insights on neural networks, e.g. linking their training with the evolution of spin glasses (a typical statistical physics problem). We can even talk about phase transition and universal exponents.
Most of the research is done with simpler models though (because mainly math people do it, and it's hard to prove anything on something as complex as a transformer).

I feel like it would have been nicer to have a perfect match with orgmode syntax (e.g. they use square brackets instead of chevrons for time stamps). It would make migration easier... Really impressive project nonetheless!

This is a real project, this guy wrote a compiler, to convert common lisp to GLSL (I'm not talking about a simple DSL with code generation, but also type checking and so on).
In his Livestreams, he usually try to implement a specific 3D feature (like triplanar mapping, the Phong of lighting, ...).
Everything is done in a single window, with the program being recompiled while running, pure lisp style.
He is on a hiatus right now though with livestreams, but there is plenty of material already to watch ...

Does it come from somewhere or you just made that up ? I have a really strong feeling of déjà vu but cannot figure out from where.

Could you explain a bit more what do you mean by "cyberphysical artsystem" ? I have no clue what this is, but the name sounds cool

Nothing fancy, just a static page with CV. But writing a crude org mode -> HTML generator in AWK was fun

I am too young to have played Morrowind at its release date, so I am not biased by nostalgia. Honestly, with a couple graphics enhancing mods, it can still look beautiful today. Of course not the NPCs, but the artistic direction for the landscapes give it a timeless feel. Wandering though the wilderness, seeing Vivec city for the first time with its meteor, with a bit of good faith on your part to not set expectations too high, and you can still be surprised by this game...

Genuine question, what would be the idiomatic way of doing an impure operation multiple times in J/APL ? (e.g. if writing an interpreter loop)
I was wondering if it's doable without the while. and other constructs (which honestly feel like plugged artificially in J, even syntax wise)
