#1
#2 the source of the anger is not that #climatechange is happening, but, first, that "nothing has been done to prevent it", and then there is this pure, helpless rage at the fact that we do not even seem to understand the actual reasons why we are not acting...
it is the #complexity, humans struggle so much with it.
A sentence should be enough to get the idea across.

Στο σημερινό επεισόδιο συζητάμε για δύσκολες έννοιες με απλά λόγια, όπως για το πως η γλώσσα και ο γραπτός λόγος εξυπηρετεί την ανάπτυξη της νόησης.
no one of these people predicted that in years time humans will basically all lose their minds and put a demented donald effing trump and a strange car salesmen from the future in charge of the world because they read on the internet that the flouride in the water turns the freaking frogs gay or whatever?
they predicted "a reduction in #complexity", but be fucking honest, guys
you didn't predict shit.

｢ Everything’s optimised for developers – and hostile to everyone else.
This isn’t accidental. It’s cultural. We’ve created an industry where complexity is celebrated. Where cleverness is rewarded. Where engineering sophistication is valued more than clarity, usability, or commercial effectiveness.
It’s easier to win an argument by citing SSR compatibility issues than it is to ask, “Why are we using React for a blog?” ｣

Oh, wow, who would have guessed that #recycling intricate, high-tech #solar #panels isn't as simple as tossing a soda can into a bin? 
Let's have an #electrical engineer explain the #complexity while we're still trying to figure out why there are two Canadas on the list.

Whenever there is a sticking point, ask, "are we staying true to the vision?".

New paper!
How can we detect the presence of communities in networks with higher-order interactions? For instance, by maximizing hypermodularity! Also, this formulation will allow you to leverage tensor spectral methods to do it. Additionally, the paper also argues that the "overfitting" of modularity methods is actually just people applying them where they are not supposed to be used. And, as a byproduct, there is an explanation of why higher-order SVD works so well in classification tasks in machine learning. Oh, the code is available to use in your own projects (link in the first comment). And moreover, the code includes an efficient data structure for higher-order networks that is independent from the community detection method and that you can also use in your own work.

An evolving system increases its complexity unless work is done to reduce it.

New paper!
If you want to assess the stability of the synchronization of a system of identical oscillators, you can use the Master Stability Function. However, what do you do in a real-world case, when the elements of the system are not exactly identical? We show how to extend the formalism and use it also when there are many-body interactions, such as in a simplicial complex.

Couldnt get a clear grip on your interests from your feed, so came here to say this too. Also markets ( #invisibleHand - theory of moral sentiments, and the wealth of nations) , #qualityControl, and #openBSD, I reckon. I'm delving these at the moment and it's super interesting. Also Enterprise Resource Planning software suites (specifically #ERP5 but it might prove too deep for my delving ability) and sometimes #cybernetics (which goes back to #mathematical #complexity and #communicationTheory ).
It takes 10 hours on a laptop accurately simulating 5 seconds of a worm wiggling: https://archive.is/0j2Jp (and we still cannot simulate more than 20-30 #quantum particles exactly). Please be humble when the universe is present! #modeling #complexity (through @loriemerson )

Ah, the joys of summer! 
While normal folks bask in sunlight or strum guitars, our hero chooses to conquer the Everest of unnecessary complexity: #bootstrapping #Rust with #GCC. 
Because nothing screams "fun" like turning your passion into a 22-minute snooze fest about the #compiler build process!

The idea that "Every complex ecosystem has parasites" has stuck in my head since I read a now-classic essay about it some 20 years ago. I dug up the essay, and re-discovered that it's from Cory Doctorow @pluralistic
He revisited the idea in a recent blog post:

Oh joy, ANOTHER deep dive into #AI on microcontrollers! Apparently, you need a PhD in making things painfully complex to understand "operators and kernels" 
. Spoiler alert: it's still just fancy #math on tiny chips, folks.
