Drawing from Debord and Heidegger, this film examines our subjective experience of time throughout history. It reveals how the relentless pursuit of productivity has shaped society and our perceptions of time, creating a perpetual present driven by an autonomous economy and accelerated by surveillance capitalism. The film explores the societal obsession with busyness and advocates for reclaiming time and leisure to foster true human flouris..

Death. One of the most discussed, and taboo , subjects ever. In recent times, it has been personified with countless characters in media entertainment, some of whom I appreciate a lot . But… How was the question treated, in the past? Of course, this is an enormously vast topic, and there are many things to say — and as many that I ignore. Besides, as years go by, we keep learning something new. In fact, some of the most interesting ....

I recently published what I have been working on for the past 5 years. No, this is not about AI or a yet another startup - I’m still a big fan of NI ( natural intelligence ) and what I reveal is open source and free for everyone to use. I’m not gonna sell you any products, only ideas! This is a new approach and a supporting toolset for understanding system behavior and its performance across all your applications and data center &..

To store additional information for a user in Firebase using React and JavaScript, you typically use Firestore or the Realtime Database, as Firebase Authentication does not allow for arbitrary additional data to be stored directly in user profiles. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this using Firestore. Step 1: Set Up Firebase in Your React App First, ensure that you have Firebase set up in your React application. You need to in..

In my studies of the Remez algorithm, I learned about the barycentric Lagrange interpolation formula. The context is finding a polynomial of degree at most $n$ that passes through $n+1$ points $(x_0, y_0), \dots, (x_n, y_n)$. The classical Lagrange interpolation formula is what you’d write down if you “just did it.” $$f(x) = \sum_{i=0}^n y_i \cdot \prod_{j \neq i}\frac{x - x_j}{x_i - x_j}$$ I wrote a 2014 article deriving this more gently, ..

The latest issue of The Economist focuses on solar energy. The introductory article is short, compelling, and optimistic. On the economics, they make a good point: Consider solar economics. As the cumulative production of a manufactured good increases, costs go down. As costs go down, demand goes up. As demand goes up, production increases—and costs go down further. This cannot go on for ever; production, demand or both always become ..

When you’re playing a point, it is the most important thing in the world. But when it’s behind you, it’s behind you… This mindset is really crucial, because it frees you to fully commit to the next point… and the next one after that… with intensity, clarity and focus. The truth is, whatever game you play in life… sometimes you’re going to lose. A point, a match, a season, a job… it’s a roller coaster, with many ups and downs. And it’..

As such, I wanted to write down some things that I learned so that in the future I can remember a bit better what was hard for me. That way, should I one day advise PhD students working on their first papers, I can help them through the learning curve better.

Introduction I recently attended a ten day silent retreat near Worcester, South Africa . I thought it would be interesting to relate my experiences here, and discuss some of the ideas that were presented. The term vipassanā is often translated as ‘insight/wisdom meditation’, and resides firmly in the Buddhist tradition. Depending on which Buddhist text you refer to, it could mean either a specific meditation technique or a specific qu....

I’ve been using Home Assistant to control many things at my smart home, including a couple of lights which are toggled on and off with motion sensors. I have one of these in the bathroom, so the motion sensor detects when I enter the bathroom and its light turns on, and the light turns back off if the motion sensor doesn’t detect any motion in a specific period (60 seconds). Setting this automation is very easy using the motion-activate..
