Another day, another series of shattered lives. The chemistry of sheer horror, turning love into hate. It's been a while and I don't know what to think anymore. Now I don't even know what to feel anymore.

La Terre Sainte. Peut-être. Il n'y a pas plus d'anges en nul autre endroit sur terre. Mais lorsqu'ils seront tous partis, tous assassinés, que restera-t'il à ceux qui veulent cette terre désanctifiée, sinon du sang, des ruines, la hantise du crime et la honte?
What could be worse? At which point will we stop going back to what we do? Or can it go on forever?

Mate in 2 can be quickly solved by retrograde analysis: which piece can deliver the mate? Here there's only one, so the (nice) trick of the puzzle is quickly figured out. It would probably be a much more difficult problem as a mate in 3 where the mating piece wouldn't be obvious.

There's a new acronym that we must all know now exists: WCNSF. It stands for «Wounded Child, No Surviving Family».

to be more precise: problem for a Saturday night, what are all the numbers Cₖ,ₙ₋ₖ that solve this equation? Exempli gratia, a constant does (in which case the rhs cst is 1/4) or k!(N-k)! does too (cst is then 1/6).

Bernanos avait tout vu. C'est d'une telle clarté, à une époque où rien ne le présageait, qu'on en croirait presque que ce grand dévot eut quelques révélations. (Ce fût aussi le cas de Gheorghiu, qui était aussi prêtre, et Vonnegut, aux rapports plus que mystérieux avec le divin).

C'était pourtant lui qui expliquait à @f_asselineau que revenir au passé ça veut plus rien dire, qu'on est dans un monde qu'a tellement changé, qu'on a des échanges, qu'on a internet... Qu'il revisite son répertoire. «Si les Ricains n'étaient pas là», c'était une bonne question.

Agree. And thanks to him for sending rockets the other way than we've been used to. Art and poetry are another way out. Today, I remembered this beautiful but sad ode to things that grow by themselves, when it is so painful for us. «Si la vie veut se casser, qu'elle se casse».

arXiv breaking down is the sort of pre-apocalyptic scenario of general failures of everything attending to our essential needs that I have dreaded all my life.

There's not enough of really good ones.
Follow this guy and beg him to write his introduction to quaternions. He wrote a "Quantum Chemistry Done Wrong" which is a treasure trove: github.com/lisyarus/chemb…. He describes himself as a computer scientist but he's a genius.

I've been playing a bit more with the AI, trying to make it contemplate various ideas from, mainly, Physics. It's where it performs best. Humour, politics and theology are terrible; gender and adult themes are censored. Here is how its stable diffusion looks at Gravitation.
When I say "Physics", it's really classical (non-quantum). It's terrible at abstract stuff, although you'd think it can do neat things with cats, boxes and ethereal spheres spinning, vibrating & disappearing. Seems like neural networks are still too small for Hilbert space ideas.
It's possible to honour humankind with rockets.

A prize is always a responsibility more than an honour. Here is a History-textbook demonstration of how to stand up to the duty that such recognition entails: not being glad or honoured, or even humbled, but fighting even harder for a mission now entrusted by humanity as a whole.

I went to an AI (hailuoai.video) with the prompt "A polariton attacks an electron". This is how it pictures the thing.
Prompt: "Erwin and his kitty's relationship after opening the box".
Prompt: "God looks at how humanity decided to spend its allotted time on Earth."
Prompt: "Mean field and quantum fluctuations interferences produce a real particle, as explained in Laser Photon. Rev., 14:1900279, 2020."

Bravo a lui. Même si ce genre d'exploit, quand il ne fait pas un héros, il fait un abruti qui s'est fracassé la tête comme un con.
.@_HEISINGBERG_ Session in Syros. Great talks by Claudio and Jason on closely related material to yesterday's @NobelPrize. More to come in that direction.

My web just achieved 10 million views. Not bad for something developed for my own needs, e.g., to remind me that Hopfield is a physicist (laussy.org/wiki/John_Hopf… ⇒ Whatever Happened to Solid State Physics?) or that he had no Google Scholar in 2015 (laussy.org/wiki/Blog:Scie…).
Artificial Intelligence going for Physics.
I didn't know about Hinton but Hopfield is a top-rate physicist. His work on the polariton effect back in the 50s is both extremely fundamental and insightful. That he turned so early to neural networks always signalled to me there's more to them for physics than physicists know.
