Esta tarde, el Museo Ralli devino ensayo coreográfico: cuatro danzas contemporáneas, cuatro salas, cuatro modos de pensar el cuerpo. Al cierre, “Pajarillo” (Compañía de Danza Vaivenes, música de Elizabeth Morris), entre las obras del gran Roberto Matta, la libertad cobró vuelo.💃
Lo and behold: a typically atypical Chilean wine night (at least at mine). The Pacific opens, Itata interrupts, Lo Abarca broods, and an Argentine enemy crashes the table to prove the Andes have two good sides.
La raja, po: Chile puso la mesa y el Gran Enemigo vino en son de paz.
Idk… if “appreciating the difference between otoro and chutoro takes an understanding of a tuna’s anatomy that’s beyond [his] comprehension” saw print, the only thing expertly sliced here is the sushi reviewer’s authority. Straight to fish fingers, I say! https://www.ft.com/content/1fd59ecb-7f97-404d-b4fa-4c4a97731d21?shareType=nongift

Sonny Rollins made the present sing. From St. Thomas to the bridge and beyond, the Saxophone Colossus turned breath into courage, melody into revelation, and improvisation into truth. The horn is silent, but the invention remains immortal.

Having lived for quite a while in both Stockholm and Paris, I can report: Sweden is likelier to ban June sunlight than French baguettes & Bordeaux. France, meanwhile, appears to have found the exact border of the single market: the upper lip. FT gift link: https://giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/actions/redeem/eebd57f3-4636-4464-ab71-c8ba9fc2dd3a

Valparaíso ya nos tenía conquistados, pero esta semana la mesa subió la vara:
La Concepción https://www.restaurantlaconcepcion.cl/
y
La Caperucita y el Lobo https://www.lacaperucitayellobo.cl/.

Entre vistas al puerto y cuentos con colmillo, ganó el lobo 🐺; ¡nosotros también! Volveremos con hambre de bis.

Revised version is—obviously!—better. Same Iron Maiden riff, cleaner solo: leaner text, sharper filtering, tighter network punchlines. Clock still ON; silence just got remastered! 🤘

There has been significant debate on social media about the arXiv's recent policy decision to impose a one year ban on any authors found to have incontrovertible evidence of having introduced AI-generated errors in a paper they are an author on that would have been detected by a reasonable review. I found it interesting to evaluate this policy against the four recommendations I made at this recent talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc2zt198U_U:

1. For traditional workflows, enforce strict policies regulating what level of AI assistance is permitted or welcomed.
2. Decrease the emphasis on ``being first'' or ``merely solving'' a problem; increase the emphasis on ``digesting'' the solution.
3. At the same time, generate new challenges, suitable for contributors using heavy AI assistance, that would generate mathematical value.
4. For both traditional and non-traditional workflows, be very clear about what the goals - both explicit and implicit - of the project are, and why they are being pursued. (1/3)
