Asymmetries of Information and Economic Policy

www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/asymmetries-of-information-and-economic-policy-2001-12

Joseph Stiglitz explained why he and others got the Nobel prize.

... economists used simple economic models that assumed that information was perfect – i.e. that all participants have equal and transparent knowledge of the relevant factors. They knew that information wasn't perfect, but hoped that a world with moderate imperfections of information would be akin to a world with perfect information. We showed that this notion was ill-founded: even small imperfections of information could have profound effects on how the economy behaved.

Kikai by Dziban

A RTS game where you program your units with UXN. Reminds of that one spacefaring game, where you also do UXN. Super cool!

There's a devlog linked on the page, I liked reading it.

XXIIVV — deliberate

Similarly, one might begin to talk instead of watching talk-shows and to play instead of watching game shows — To value the entire spectrum of sensations as necessary members of the whole that is the deliberate existence, with its potential for failure, awkwardness, loneliness, harm and death included.

Study: Butterfly and Moth Genomes Have Remained Largely Intact through 250M Years of Evolution | Sci.News

www.sci.news/genetics/lepidopteran-genomes-12718.html

This stability exists despite the incredible diversity seen today in wing patterns, sizes, and caterpillar forms across over 160,000 species globally, according to a new paper published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution.

It is rather like how fish can stay in the same place in a flowing river. They have to swim against the current. Similarly, in the absence of evolution, the genome would degrade due to accumulated mutations. Natural selection constantly selects against non-adaptive mutations. The genome of a creature which is as well adapted as it can be for a particular environment does not change because it cannot be better adapted than it already is.

The Inadequacy of Most Proposed Approaches

web.archive.org/web/20010519155455/http://www.clir.org/PUBS/reports/rothenberg/inadequacy.html

Most approaches that have been proposed fall into one of four categories: (1) reliance on hard copy, (2) reliance on standards, (3) reliance on computer museums, or (4) reliance on migration. Though some of these may play a role in an ultimate solution, none of them comes close to providing a solution by itself, nor does their combination.

On archival.

Permacomputing Aesthetics: Potential and Limits of Constraints in Computational Art, Design and Culture

limits.pubpub.org/pub/6loh1eqi

Permacomputing is a nascent concept and a community of practice centred around design principles that embrace limits and constraints as a positive thing in computational culture, and on creativity with scarce computational resources.

Spider Uses Its Web Like a Giant Engineered Ear | The Scientist Magazine®

www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/spider-uses-its-web-like-a-giant-engineered-ear-69366

The bridge spider uses its web as an engineered “external ear” up to 10,000 times the size of its body, according to a preprint study posted to bioRxiv on October 18. The discovery, which has not yet been peer reviewed, challenges many assumptions that scientists have held for years about how spiders and potentially other arthropods navigate and interact with the world around them.

“Evolutionarily speaking, spiders are just weird animals,” Jessica Petko, a Pennsylvania State University York biologist who didn’t work on the new study, writes in an email to The Scientist. “While it has been long known that spiders sense sound vibration with sensory hairs on their legs, this paper is the first to show that orb weaving spiders can amplify this sound by building specialized web structures.”
