No two brains solve problems alike
When you examine living geniuses solving some tough problem, you do not find reassuring similarities; you find disconcerting individualities. Problem solving and sensory processing do not look the same in any two brains.

Problems with reductionism in the humanities
This reduction of data comes at a price, one that some argue traditionally divided the humanities and social sciences. If humanists care more about the differences than the regularities, more about what makes an object unique rather than what makes it similar, that is the very…

Episodes and clips
Finally clips. Clips were a later addition to the PIPs model and describing them is hard. Importantly they are not (as the name might suggest) necessarily bits clipped from full length episodes. Although they might be. They might also be a trailer for an episode, a trailer for…

Turing machine
What is the difference between a Turing machine and the modern computer? It's the same as that between Hillary's ascent of Everest and the establishment of a Hilton hotel on its peak.
Rdf Primer
Similar URIrefs may name unrelated things
Another difference is in the way URIrefs with fragment identifiers are handled. [..] RDF uses URI references purely to identify resources, not to retrieve them, and RDF assumes no particular relationship between these two URIrefs. As far as RDF is concerned, they are…

More than one way of being a self
Strawson’s counter points to what is perhaps the most important consequence of the bundle view. If the self is not a concrete, singular, stable thing, then we should not expect there to be only one way of being a self.

Term equality versus value equality in SPARQL
Now a lot of users of SPARQL probably don’t even know what I mean by the above, but I would give you good odds that most people are using the former without realizing it or knowing that the latter could actually be more performant in many scenarios. So to illustrate this, let’s…

Conspiracy theorists
Why does any of this matter? My concern is with the ultimate fate of knowing, of seeing the difference of what you can know and what you wish for. . . . The urge to believe drives people to trade in part of their soul in exchange for the comfort of being a rebel.
