Yep the MV3 thing was my ticket out also here. And some benchmarks about firefox better memory usage. All their parlance about they "protecting us" is patronizing.

The music analogy is very pleasant. Let me share another stab with similar inspiration. The parallel I'd make is with harmony. For instance in LOTR Dominant is when Frodo and Gollum struggle at the cliff of Mount Doom, they lose control of the Ring that makes an upwards arc spinning. Max tension. Fast forward, Frodo returns to Shire, music is at home again. Tension resolves. (Tonic). So setup, conflict, resolution would be pre-dominant, dominant and tonic. Subplots are secondary dominants.

Not just no money in, but actual money out. RSS is a hole in user funnel inflow to platform.

Reports of the death of large swathes of the internet have been greatly exaggerated. This guy blog post "RSS Feeds Send Me More Traffic Than Google" is evidence by existing (personal web blog) more than by making the point. https://tinyurl.com/5n8cub5a

A bit late thanks, and a respectful hat tip.

The Showstoppers book by G. Pascal Zachary is an entertaining account of NT uprising.

Just to confirm it is true. This is LaLiga bringing down essential country-wide infrastructure on soccer hours if your internet access is through main ISPs.

jesuslop — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 16:13:58 +0000

I think "Foundation" axiom F forbids your recursive set, and there are models of both core set theory satisfying either F or ¬F, so F is independent of core set theory (core -> not including F or ¬F). F is normally assumed in set theory, but Aczel has worked with "ill" founded (¬F) set theory models. Just as with the axiom of choice. No religion wars, just people pushed to be explicit with assumptions.

Hi Nick, the lag is quite bad in the field, honest. In desktop app in this case/datapoint. There was that "halt and catch fire" episode where they spoke about a millisencod threshold of delay that separated usability and non. Solvent hw and fiber connection.

Nice summary, saving it. If author is around, Bellman equation label ended overlapped to eqn., and pargraph quoting signs got into HJB displayed one. Suggest changes is 404 not found. Liked the presentation overall, thank you!

New comment by jesuslop in "Algebraic topology: knots links and braids"

jesuslop — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 18:38:01 +0000

To comment something then, the symmetric group (bijections) is generated by permutations of two elements, in the braid group you can braid the left whisker on top of the right one, or below. If you permute twice, you do nothing, but you can twist hair one, two, three, ... any times. that is the contrast in the generators and relations of both groups. If you go to the wiki page of topological quantum computer, the photo expresses a unitary representation of a braid group element. Schrödinger evolution in discrete time is given by unitary matrices (one of the Stone theorems). Now look at the pic, and imagine threads from input 1 to output 1, input 2 to output 2, etc, in adition to the colored threads of the pic. With the extra threads as gluing spec (topological identification) you get a single colorful closed curve (or several ones). The chapter is going to talk about how this is a link/knot. So you get an algebraic understanding from a structural object as the symmetric group is, opening what these closed curves are. People in loop quantum gravity could have had their fingers on that kind of page. There is an accesible description of the Jones polynomial. If you bookmark this, next time the pros juggle the name before you you have a place to go to avoid showing "that face".

I am more optimistic, good blogs will continue being there, and crap ones are no new invention or menace, be it LLM slop or Markov chain SEO babble content of 10 years ago.

There is an economy here that the effort investment is paid with a reward of quality. Many teens feel the discomfort of being locked into platform attention farms and are stoic about it. They deserve the opportunity of being told other options exist.
