Just spent almost two weeks without electricity in my home (which is a boat). Topping up phone and laptop here and there in cafes or in the car. On this particular boat that also meant no toilet and no running water. My only luxuries were candles and a wood fire.
Tonight everything is back on, and let me tell you: cherish every drop that comes out of your tap and every flush because billions of people still live like this.

Whether we #exercise adequately, matters for health. But our health is also embedded in unchecked politics, class struggle, patriarchy and #global #inequalities every day. Erosion of #democracy by mass #surveillance technologies disguised as 'innovation', and unchecked #biopolitics, are affecting our health, #physiology, and well-being.
Politics of planetary health matters in #thesetimes of polycrisis because health, prescriptions, #drugs, and #innovation are inherently #political.
What is f(x) ≤ g(x) + O(1)? Inequalities With Asymptotics

Recently I came across asympotic inequalities of the form $f(x) \le g(x) + O(1)$ in Li and Vitanyi’s An Introduction to Kolmogorov Complexity and Its Applications, where this notion is used to discuss bounds on the complexity of strings. In this post I give a brief definition of what this notation means and how it relates to standard asymptotic notation. Particulary, I’m only going to talk about the case of $O(1)$, but the same ideas can be extended to $O(h(x))$ for any function $h(x)$.
