This is good. From paper to a book.
This is Matrix Revolution 😂​

On a serious note, project and people management is a weak spot in many academic projects. Some humility to learning from others won't hurt. Or, as always, I am just ignorant
😉

Played on board #chess with an ELO 1500 player for the first time! It was fascinating despite the losses. Plenty to learn with lots of fun :)

A: Hey, we should soon have a dinner together. That restaurant is good.

B: I'm being evicted by the end of the month, in a few days from now. Let me find a place to live first?

A: Oh! Let's chat next week then. Sorry about your place though. Sorry I have to go; dad's calling from the garage.

The surreal prospect of being homeless is quite funny, ungraspable to some, and hits in the stomach real hard to others. I said surreal, you see.

@_dmh Yess. Attachment ambiguity. Thank you! The midnight/post-midnight brain wasn't helpful retrieving any terms other than garden path in the previous reply.

Don't even start me on the reading pile! I'm moving places and I don't want to give away the unread books. They make up a pile! Self-promise to read them that never gets quite kept :(
Wish you luck! Read them all :)

The post was kind of a wordplay, gardenpath if you will.
Do I read books with those who are dead or the books written by authors who aren't alive anymore.
I assume you're referring to the first one as time-travel and the latter one as a choice.

I am a time-travel fan. But in this case, I meant it like a choice. Lots of people, including myself, cry about information overflow and distraction in the internet. Are books any different though? Just see the holiday book recommendations! I suppose I am trying to set a strategy that feels optimal. To add, the author-reader relationship gets drastically different depending upon whether the author is still alive or not!

What do you think about this?

I only read books with dead authors.
When there's a room for interpretation with too much discretionary power provided to the people in the authority, the law only becomes a weapon of control and manipulation!

love this piece. neuroscientists could stand to read this too in the final discussion about "noise" - related to the idea of trying to trial average data to define the ideal "true" brain state/computation rather than acknowledging that there is no noise and the dynamics are intrinsic to the computation.

No surprises there if all social media follow the fate of #tiktok and get banned in #Nepal in coming few days.

As a #republican, I used to think how could one possibly justify and support the #monarchy! If the ruling political parties and the #government do not stop their #authoritarian-like actions immediately, I won't be surprised if the lay people change their mind and want the #king to come back, overthrowing the #democratic republic.

#UN and human rights organisations better keep an eye on the #violence that the Government of Nepal is enacting onto its citizens.

I regularly see posts on mask wearing in planes. I'm happy that you're paying attention to health and wearing a mask. But I'm a bit suprised to see so many posts which are framed like taking the plane is an ordinary, frequent, occurrence. Covid is real, but so is climate change.
