[1] Just to clarify: we are talking about spatial curvature here, where we have sliced up the 4d spacetime into 3d spaces indexed by time. In an expanding universe, whatever the spatial curvature (even if it's exactly zero), spacetime curvature is large: freely-falling objects diverge with the expansion. The spatial curvature mostly deals with relative distortions of the shapes of similar galaxies (e.g. barred spirals, or ellipticals) at different distances. With zero spatial curvature, faraway barred spirals have the same shape as nearer barred spirals.

With positive spatial curvature, further away barred spirals would be less arm-y and more core-y than nearer ones, while with negative spatial curvature they would be more arm-y and less core-y. The light from the outer parts of the arms and the core are all emitted essentially as parallel rays. With positive spatial curvature, the rays converge, so the arm-rays get squashed towards the core-rays as they travel cosmological distances. With negative spatial curvature, the initially parallel rays diverge.

We don't see that kind of distortion in images like this, with a large number of faraway galaxies looking very similar to foreground galaxies like Andromeda (M31) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble_Ultra-Deep_Field

There isn’t an exterior in this model, just a boundary you can’t get “outside of” because everything including space and time are part of the universe. What this is all based on is the observation that the information required to describe the volume of (for example) a black hole, can be encoded on its event horizon. The theory says that the universe and it’s horizon(s) can be similarly modeled. In essence that we live not in the volume of a soap bubble but in the fluctuations of the skin of the bubble. It’s only to us, at our energy level and scale that a higher dimensional volume appears to emerge.

It’s important to say that this is all entirely speculative, based on the physical possibility which allows for the resolution of some outstanding problems in physics. That doesn’t mean it is in any way real, it is just another possible model, and one without observation to support it as the way our universe actually works.

Perhaps a stupid question:

If a 3d universe can be encoded in a 2d space, then I suppose a 2d universe can be in a 1d space? And could 1 dimeneion be encoded in 0? Just some bits or fluctuations?

With the caveat that I am neither a physicist nor a mathematician:

1. My understanding is that some kinds of 3d universes can be encoded on a 2d surface. Whether our universe is one of those is an area of research.

2. You can't always generalize from one dimension to another in mathematics. The most common example is that knots can only exist in three dimensions; they don't exist in 2 or 4.

You can knot surfaces in 4D though.

Edit: not to say that 3D space isn't special though. There are plenty of special things about it.

You’re not wrong, but all such knots are trivial in 4D. The math is discussed here: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1426501/why-are-all...

That link appears to be about unknotting any embedding of the circle into R^4 . Indeed, these can all be unknotted.

I am saying that if instead of having a 1-d curve (a circle) embedded in 3-space, you instead have a 2-d surface embedded in 4-space, that such surfaces can be knotted in 4-space just as the circle can be knotted in 3-space.

Iirc, one way to construct these surfaces is to start with a knot in a particular 3D slice of 4-space, put all of it on one side of a plane in that 3D slice, stick the knot to that plane at 3 points (remove the bit of the knot between them), and then revolve what is left of the knot around the plane (so, the projection of the knot as it is revolving into the 3D slice will look like the knot is being squished into the plane, unsquished on the other side, and then doing that backwards. But this is only the projection into the 3D slice. Really, when revolving around the plane, as the direction normal to the plane within the slice gets scaled to zero, the same amount is added first in one direction normal to the 3D slice, and then as- ... blah, I am going on too long in describing this. I'm typing on my phone, so I can't effortlessly see all that I wrote, so I might be repeating myself. It rotates around the plane. Each point in the original knot traces out a circle in 4-space. )

At some level of approximation you can encode any higher dimensional space into a lower dimensional one. The usual approach is to use a space-filling curve, like a z-order curve or Hilbert space filling curve, then describing a point in the higher dimensional space as a distance along the curve.

It’s easy to encode the universe into a single binary bit. It’s the decoding bit that presents a challenge.

Here's a possible answer. Imagine a 2d universe - a piece of paper. Cut that paper into infinitely thin lines, and line them up.

You have converted the 2d paper into a 1d line, but in the process have made the line much longer than the 2d version. (Like the difference between Aleph 0 and Aleph 1.)

I don't see any way to go lower than that though.

To go lower you cut the line into infinitely many points and stack them together :-) ?

I think a good illustration could be provided by the Gauss law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss%27s_law

It states that if you have a volume of space - say, a cube 1 meter side - containing some electric charges, and you calculate the total flux of the electric field across the boundary of that volume - that is, across the surface of that cube - then you'll find that total charge Q and total flux FF are proportional, FF = Q / epsilon_0 , where epsilon_0 is a fundamental constant. And that ratio doesn't in fact depend on shape or size of that volume of space.

That means Gauss law allows you to go along the boundary surface, calculate total electric flux and calculate the total charge inside the volume within that surface.

Similarly here, "holographically dual" means that you can derive important properties of matter inside some volume from properties which are observable on the boundary surface of that volume. What are those properties is another matter - but this duality principle says that there is a certain relation between them.

That’s a bad analogy. You can’t deduce the charge distribution within a volume from the flux through its boundary. You can only deduce its magnitude.

Parent correctly referred to "total charge", not its distribution.

That wasn’t the issue with their analogy.

The issue was that the holographic principle states that the boundary completely determines what’s inside a volume, as opposed to Gauss’s law which only talks about the total amount of charge.

You're right, Gauss law only talks about magnitude, not distribution. I chose this example because it's simpler than explaining reversal of wave fronts, so the formula FF = Q / epsilon_0 is shorter. Note I mentioned "what those properties are is another matter".

The choice of analogy is less precise but hopefully easier to understand. The idea is just that there could be relationship between boundary conditions and internal conditions.

Not sure if it's related but this lecture gave me some basic grasp on the notion of holographic representations

Quanta is great, but there's definitely a limit to what can be portrayed to a popular audience and this is well past it.

I think anything can be portrayed to the popular audience. Other comments here explaining the terms used in the article suggest that this is possible. The only problem is that some fine information would most likely be lost with a simplified explanation.

I think there's an additional difficulty when those unfamiliar with more rigorous (as compared to pop sci anyway) physics/mathematical discussions.

There is simply a great deal of unintuitive interactions to keep in mind all, at once, when attempting to rationalize how many of

I think there's an additional difficulty when those unfamiliar with more rigorous (as compared to pop sci anyway) physics/mathematical discussions.

There is simply a great deal of unintuitive interactions to keep in mind all, at once, when attempting to rationalize how many of these interactions happen. Physicists and mathematicians combat this by working with specific abstractions enough to become intuitively familiar with the behavior of said abstractions.

Unfortunately, this packing away of unintuitive complexity behind intuitive interactions is unavailable to the lay reader. Any specific interaction can be explained in simple enough language, eventually, if the curious reader keeps asking why. However, when they attempting to pop back up the why stack and get back to the big picture (i.e. the world people can understand intuitively), lay readers lose the nuance in the noise created by the volume.

Let me chip in this; you are building decks that can tackle different strategies to outshine your opponents. In PVP matches, you need to use all the techniques. This is when you need to implement everything you’ve learned about the game. Do you know why? In PVP matches, you will have the chance to win more cards when you manage to get your opponent’s life reduced down to zero. Of course, one needs to be fast about it. Do not allow your opponent to outsmart you. Then, you’ll be rewarded with points for every win.

In nft games, players are open to receiving tokens and can get more money as long as they play. Therefore, you’ll earn more cryptocurrency the more you play. Let me chip in this that; most of these games require an upfront investment. Before one can access some of these games, one must have some money to invest. You’ll get to know more about this as you read on.

Top non-fungible games to play in 2022

I said earlier that if you want to earn the same money some people are earning via playing games, you need to prepare yourself and get ready to move with the trend. In the previous years, some nft games ruled the world, and people made it massively from those games. But now, in 2022, you need to know what is happening in the nft gaming world. There are countless of these video games. But it’s up to you to pick the best. Hence, here are the top nft games you should play in 2022;


. Overdoing activities (e.g. exercising, shopping)
  15. Overreacting to unexpected problems
  16. Picking fights with others

  1. Doubt, loss of faith or trust
  2. Anger towards God
  3. Hopelessness
  4. Cynicism
  5. Martyrdom and a loss of direction
  6. Inability to forgive
  7. Increased or transformed faith-life
  8. Changes in your meaning of life

    What Could You Hack in Five Days?

    January 27,


 not the business of law to make people feel a certain way. When you see that redefining marriage is going to, in fact, redefine the meaning of parenthood, removing biology as the basis for parenthood and replacing it with legal constructions—then you see that there is quite a lot at stake in getting the definition of marriage right.

I just read an interview with a conservative columnist who opposes same-sex marriage but will not write about it because he doesn't want to offend his gay friends. And I think that applies to many people who are concerned about hurting feelings. What about those people?

Well, my first question to them would be whether they get the argument as to why it's not a harmless redefinition. Because once you get it, the question is, what are you going to do about it? I would say there are some people that you're going to offend if you speak out. You have to decide whether you're going to be on the side of truth or not. How bad does it have to get before you're going to open your mouth? Marriage has been redefined in Canada. And the province of Quebec came out with a policy against homophobia. In that policy, the provincial government said it was going to work to stamp out not only homophobia, but heterosexism also. Heterosexism is the view that heterosexuality is normal.

Look. Heterosexuality is normal in our species. We are a species that propagates by sexual reproduction. If the government gives itself the power to wipe out a belief that is actually true, what that means is that the government's given itself a blank check to do whatever it wants. Now they've set up a registry where anyone can anonymously report a homophobic act. That means they've set up something that will allow people to spy on their neighbors and anonymously make accusations. How bad does it have to get before you're going to be willing to offend someone at Thanksgiving dinner? What's going on in Quebec is a very ominous development.

If same-sex marriage were to become the law of the land, what do you see happening? People sometimes talk about polygamy becoming the next shoe to drop.

Oh, the polygamy thing is already in progress. I don't think there would be any problem removing the requirement that there be only two people to a marriage. My bigger worry is not so much plural marriage as it is plural parenthood and contract parenthood. The real radicals believe that a dichotomy between parent and non-parent is oppressive. What they would like is what they call "intentional parenting." If you "intend" to be a parent, that's the key thing. And they're working to create legal institutions that would allow people to establish themselves as "intentional parents." So what that means is, instead of every person coming into being as an act of love, people are going to come into being as an act of the will and nothing but the will.

My nightmare scenario is all the different ways that are going to transform what is means to be a parent. It will allow the terms "mother and father" to be replaced by "generic parents," losing all gender language. These are the things that keep me awake at night. We're talking about having three and four parents who have divided up the parenting responsibilities among themselves. We're talking about creating an institution that has parents being primarily something that's legal, not based on biology or kinship. And I think that's going to be a nightmare for every little person who gets born into society, even if he or she doesn't have that happen to them.

Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the future?

I don't think in terms of optimism or pessimism. I think more in terms of theological hope. I try to cultivate the theological virtue of hope, of being hopeful that our Lord will use whatever's happening for the greatest good. If we are thankful to him and we proclaim his truth in love, we hope he will somehow use that for good. I don't know exactly how, or how long it's going to take. •

Table Tennis

Table tennis is an indoor game based on tennis, played with a bat and a soft ball. It can either be played as a 1v1 or 2v2 match. The objective is to hit the ball over the net and bounce on the opposition side, with the opposition not being able to return the ball. It is played on a table with a net dividing the table for each participant. At MCE we believe table tennis provides students with the opportunity to improve their hand-eye coordination through this net wall activity.<|endoftext|>Marketing through social media is becoming a very common practice nowadays.

    Hehehe. The kid made three posts within 15 minutes and it was a week between those and your post DSW. I'm sure he'd thank you if he ever came back though.

    But I'll thank you. I learned something. I knew shows in the US get bumped all the time for college sports and pro sports but I'm surprised to learn hockey was one of them. The NHL is still desperately trying to increase viewers in the US.

    Some hockey teams are stronger than others in terms of fanbases. The Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins are two obvious teams. The Chicago Blackhawks would've been too, but they had a complete idiot for an owner who refused to televise games, feeling it would impact the number of ticket sales. Only a few years ago did he die and his kid inherit the team and promptly get a tv contract. And sports tend to be held on a higher rank over UPN, syndication, even down to the NHL. WB had pre-emptions, though Tribune was able to bully some stations into dropping their sports teams once the contracts ended.

    Also, back during Voyager's run, more hockey, basketball, baseball games were broadcast over-the-air instead of on regional sports networks (RSNs; cable channels) which meant more pre-emptions. You have to look at UPN as a whole, which had pathetic ratings. Voyager was their best show/2nd best, SmackDown was their best show too. Their sitcoms were low, Voyager's companion shows (Nowhere Man, The Sentinel, 7 Days) were comparable to weak syndicated shows, and its shows didn't have a desirable niche like young white adults/teens or generate chatter like WB's shows. WB had more star power than UPN. Look at how many stars went somewhere, even briefly vs. UPN.

    I've got a partial list of the teams that interrupted episodes of Voyager and what episodes, though the data's raw and hasn't quite been refined yet and has some big gaps. Something I'd like to eventually test is to see if Voyager was pre-empted as much as syndicated shows were.

    In the lap of squalor I assure you.
    Isn't jock another word for cup?<|endoftext|>Crafted exclusively for the discriminating jazz traditionalist, The Elferink Excalibur is considered the benchmark archtop guitar like the old D’Angelco’s, Strombergs and Gibson L5 en super 400s. Fancy inlays, multiple celluloid bindings and highest grade solid hand carved and tuned spruce top and maple back makes the Exclibur one of the most impressive guitars from my range. Even its DeArmond suspended pickup has been designed to mount to the pickguard—keeping the top free and clean for superior tonality. The Excalibur is completely hand built ensuring an inimitable instrument of the highest caliber.

Specs:                        Excalibur 17

Body:                         Archtop: 17″ lower bout, 2,75 to 3,25” tapered body depth, Venetian cutaway

Top:                           Carved, hand–graduated and tuned spruce

Back:                         Carved, hand–graduated  flamed maple

Sides:                        Solid flamed maple

Bracing:                     X–braced spruce

Binding:                    White celluloid  with multiple black white celluloid purfling

Neck:                        Select flamed maple

Width at Nut:            1 ¾” or 1 11/16”  bone


 is? Great mystery indeed.

By car

For those arriving by car, a driving licence, the vehicle registration documents and a valid car insurance are essential.

Coming from the direction of Vienna, Prague or Budapest, the border crossings are in Bors on the E60, Nadlac on the E64 and Varsand on the E61. Bors and Nadlac are the busiest due to trucks that pass through those two customs points. Coming from the direction of Trieste or Belgrade on the E70, the entry is in Moravita and Portile de Fier. E85 goes from Athens through Tirana and Sofia. and enters Romania in Giurgiu. The other border crossing with Bulgaria is at Vama Veche for those who come from Istanbul or Sofia on the E87. Arriving in Romania from Moscow, Kiev and Kishinev customs are in Albita on the E58 or in Sculeni, Stânca Costesti or Oancea. Coming from Warsaw, Kiev or Chernivtsi on the E85 the customs is in Siret in Bucovina.

The distances between Bucharest and European cities are: Athens-1252 km, Berlin-2154 km, Bern (Zurich)-2125 km, Brussels-2394 km, Bonn-2100 km, Budapest-893 km, Copenhagen-2587 km, Frankfurt-2100 km, The Hague (Amsterdam)-2428 km, Helsinki-2900 km, Istanbul-704 km, Kiev-1065 km, Kishinev-445 km, Lisbon-4120 km, London-2577 km, Madrid-3530 km, Minsk-1650 km, Moscow- 1963 km, Oslo-2820 km, Paris-2401 km, Prague-1465 km, Riga-1955 km, Rome-2149 km, Sofia-407 km, Stockholm-3100 km, Vienna-1100 km, and Warsaw-1797 km.

Romanian driving regulations are more or less the same as the rules in other European countries. Obviously, for every driver a valid driving licence is compulsory, as well as valid insurance (Green Card) for the car. In case of an accident, contact the police to make a report. Drinking alcohol and driving is absolutely forbidden. The speed limit inside town limits is 50 km/hour and outside built areas 90 km/hour.<|endoftext|>Wednesday, November 4, 2015

Random Thoughts on the Review Process

For the most part, I've been very impressed by the review process at top architecture conferences (enough to annoy some of my colleagues in other areas :-).  But we can always do better.  Here are some (hopefully constructive) thoughts:

1. At a PC meeting, if a paper's reviewers can't unanimously agree on a paper, the outcome is often determined by a PC-wide vote.  I'm always uncomfortable when the people who read the paper vote 2-1 in favor, but the PC votes 15-16 against the paper.  So, essentially, the paper's outcome is decided by one person that never read the paper.  I recommend that non-decisive PC votes (margin less than 5?) simply be discarded.

2. A few conferences have experimented with PC meetings that last 1.5 or 2 days.  More time does not mean better decisions; it just means that talkative PC members find a way to say the same thing with more words.  So let me cast a vote in favor of 1-day PC meetings.  Also, a Friday PC meeting allows for better work/life balance -- I assume that's important.  I'm curious to see how the ISCA'16 PC meeting plays out: two days, but most PC members will only attend one of the two days.

3. I assume that Moin will have more to say about the MICRO'15 review process at MICRO.  In a nutshell, about 80+ papers were given 3 weeks to submit a revised paper, in addition to the standard rebuttal.  In my opinion, the revision process worked very well.  Assuming that a paper is close to being accepted, the authors should want to spend time now to revise the paper than roll the dice at the next conference.  I think the MICRO'15 review process hit a sweet spot -- it gets us sufficiently closer to a journal-style process, while retaining the many benefits of conference reviewing.

4. Can we please do away with the rule that a PC member can't have more than 2 accepted papers?  Fortunately or unfortunately, I have not been victimized by the rule.  But it happens to someone at every PC meeting.  It's terribly unfair to the involved grad students.  Seemingly, the rule is in place to prevent collusion among PC members.  But I just don't buy it.  If I was the colluding type, would I stop because there's a cap on my accepted papers?  Probably not.  I'm ok with a rule that actually stops collusion.  I'm not ok with a rule that masks collusion.  (FWIW, I have never witnessed collusion at a PC meeting, but I also happen to be relatively naive.)

5. The single most important task for a PC Chair is to find qualified reviewers.  The second most important task is to push reviewers towards an active, inclusive, and positive on-line discussion.  If these two tasks are done well, the other tasks become a lot less crucial.

6. It has been said many times: as a community, we write harsh reviews.  Why?  (i) Because we appear smart when we find a flaw. (ii) It's a sign of weakness if we are easily impressed. (iii) Pulling a competitor down is almost equivalent to pulling myself up.  Clearly, we all need to dial down the negativity.  Write your reviews with the assumption that the submission site will get hacked -- it does wonders for your tone and positivity.

7. It was common practice to reveal author names during the PC meeting.  In the past year or so, PC chairs have correctly chosen to not reveal author names at the PC meeting.  This is clearly a good practice because it not only eliminates bias at the meeting, but also preserves double-blindness for future submissions of that work.  One downside is that it is now much harder to detect incorrectly identified conflicts (both intentional and inadvertent).  Entering conflicts for every deadline is both tedious and error-prone.  We are well overdue for an automatic conflict management system, perhaps with help from an IEEE/ACM-supported repository of known conflicts.

OBJECTIVE: SIRT1 has pleiotropic metabolic functions. We investigated whether SIRT1 genetic variation is associated with obesity. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: In 6,251 elderly subjects from the prospective, population-based Rotterdam Study, three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SIRT1 gene were studied in relation to BMI and risk of obesity (BMI > or =30 kg/m(2)) and prospectively with BMI change after 6.4 years of follow-up. We used cross-sectional data from 2,347 participants from the Erasmus Rucphen Family (ERF) study for replication. RESULTS: Minor alleles of rs7895833 (G = 20.2%) and rs1467568 (A = 36.8%) were associated with lower BMI in the Rotterdam Study (P = 0.02 and 0.04) and in the replication cohort ERF study (P = 0.03 and 0.008) and in both studies combined (P = 0.002 for both SNPs), with a 0.2-0.4 kg/m(2) decrease in BMI per allele copy. Carriers of these alleles had 13-18% decreased risk of obesity (for rs7895833 in the Rotterdam Study: odds ratio 0.79 [95% CI 0.67-0.94], P = 0.007; in the ERF study: 0.93 [0.73-1.19], P = 0.37; and in the studies combined 0.87 [0.77-0.97], P = 0.02; for rs1467568 in the Rotterdam Study: 0.80 [0.68-

 is the mind, does this mean that mind should predate the universe? This takes us far into the unknown, all the way to the abyss of great mystery.

So is mind the precursor to all the universe? Is that what God is? Great mystery indeed.

In the Rotterdam Study, the two variants were also associated with a lower BMI increase during 6.4 years of follow-up (P = 0.01 and 0.08). CONCLUSIONS: Two common variants in SIRT1 are associated with lower BMI in two independent Dutch populations. Carriers of these variants have 13-18% decreased risk of obesity and gain less weight over time. The availability of SIRT1 stimulators makes these findings relevant in light of the growing obesity epidemic.
