µPJust published: my (translated) chapter on "Unconventional Computing" as a pre-print on ResearchGate:

Piotr NowakQuantum Computing’s Impact on Algorithmic Complexity
https://cacm.acm.org/blogcacm/quantum-computings-impact-on-algorithmic-complexity/
Mikko TuomiThe origin of the eukaryotic cell corresponded to the most significant increase in #complexity in the history of #life's evolution on Earth.
The billions of years that have passed since the fusion of an #archaea and a #bacteria have resulted in a lack of evolutionary intermediates in the phylogenetic tree until the emergence of the #eukaryotes.
Now researchers present theoretical and observational evidence that a phase transition in genetic complexity was involved.

An evolutionary algorithmic phase transition 2.6 billion years ago may have sparked the emergence of eukaryotic cells
An international collaboration between four scientists from Mainz, Valencia, Madrid, and Zurich has published new research in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shedding light on the most significant increase in complexity in the history of life's evolution on Earth: the origin of the eukaryotic cell.

N-gated Hacker News😂 Ah, the age-old tale of the brave #warrior who dared to host Sentry—only to be vanquished by its complexity! ⚔️ Turns out self-hosting isn't a walk in the park, but hey, at least it provided endless entertainment for coworkers and a decent #story for the blog. 📉

LinusHey, hey!
Great honor to present the "Estuarine Framework" by Dave Snowden and the Cynefin Company in the event space Berlin from ThoughtWorks. Its worth to know his latest concept:

earthlingThe Evolution of Biological Information: How Evolution Creates Complexity, From Viruses to Brains by Christoph Adams, 2024
Why information is the unifying principle that allows us to understand the evolution of complexity in nature. More than 150 years after Darwin’s revolutionary On the Origin of Species, we are still attempting to understand and explain the amazing complexity of life.

🎲📉 Oh look, another "expert" who thinks they've cracked the code on making #MCMC magically simple, as if the problem was just too much #jargon and not, you know, actual #complexity. 😏 Apparently, the secret sauce is to ignore decades of mathematical rigor, and voilà, the Monte Carlo becomes a walk in the park! 🍸🤡

Markov Chain Monte Carlo Without all the Bullshit
I have a little secret: I don’t like the terminology, notation, and style of writing in statistics. I find it unnecessarily complicated. This shows up when trying to read about Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. Take, for example, the abstract to the Markov Chain Monte Carlo article in the Encyclopedia of Biostatistics. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a technique for estimating by simulation the expectation of a statistic in a complex model.
🎉🎩 Congrats! You've mastered #the ancient art of #reinventing the #wheel by adding one unnecessary layer of #complexity to your #database connection 🎉. Because what could be more fun than #debugging #network #proxies in your spare time? 🤦♂️🙃
