Group theory and why I love [the cardinality of the Monster Group]
Group theory and why I love [the cardinality of the Monster Group]
An introduction to group theory (Minor error corrections below) Help fund future projects: https://www.patreon.com/3blue1brown An equally valuable form of support is to simply share some of the videos. Special thanks to these supporters: https://3b1b.co/monster-thanks Timestamps: 0:00 - The size of the monster 0:50 - What is a group? 7:06 - What is an abstract group? 13:27 - Classifying groups 18:31 - About the monster Errors: *Typo on the "hard problem" at 14:11, it should be a/(b+c) + b/(a+c) + c/(a+b) = 4 *Typo-turned-speako: The classification of quasithin groups is 1221 pages long, not 12,000. The full collection of papers proving the CFSG theorem do comprise tens of thousands of pages, but no one paper was quite that crazy.

Sam’s “17 lessons I learned in ‘17” post
This next project might take one year, five, or twenty, but it is not you. You are a superset of what you do, not a subset. Narratives based in past behavior are by definition out of date. Sometimes allow yourself to just be open to possibility of the next moment being different. How does the story change in this moment? The key to talent development of yourself and others: propulsion off cliffs with parachutes one size too small. Sometimes you land hard but your wings build muscle.

Dusky’s ’11 remix of “You Got To Go”

Following in the footsteps of Above & Beyond's BBC Radio 1 playlisted singles "Sun & Moon" and "Thing Called Love", the more optimistic "You Got To Go" is a song about seizing the moment and taking control of the opportunities in front of you. Inspired by Kyau & Albert's energised club remix of the original album version, the A&B vs. K&A Radio Edit combines the melodic riff-driven energy of the Kyau & Albert remix with a more radio-focused approach - capturing the song's beauty and orchestral touches perfectly. The release package will also include a brand new club mix from Above & Beyond themselves, the high-energy Kyau & Albert remix, two contrasting remixes from the legendary MJ Cole and an organic tech-house version from upcoming duo Dusky. There are DJs who can rock a party, a club, a festival. And there are acts that can write songs that will bring out the goose bumps in you. But there's only one band that can do both: Above & Beyond.

#4: Welcome to the world of tomorrow!
I’d never considered that adaptation was a serious option, until we started talking about it like it was a tangible problem and not a nebulous threat. Trying to find a pathway towards the source of pain is a lot more empowering than pouring your energy into being bitter over someone else’s success.

Incrementally-correct personal websites
Incrementally-correct personal websites
Think about blogging for a second: the fact that a list of posts is ordered chronologically by publication date, by default, is a bug in our incrementally-correct worldview. Blogging tools don't create any incentive to go back and edit previous ideas or posts. Or, at the very least, the default ordering has a de facto side effect of fewer people being aware of revisions or reversals to previously-published ideas.

Landing a kickflip for the first time
“One of the few positive effects of these scary times is the increased interest in skateboarding. It’s been uplifting to see so many learning to skate in their “downtime.” I believe they’re in pursuit of the same feeling this Ukrainian girl got when she landed her first kickflip.”

Homesteading the Twittersphere
Homesteading the Twittersphere
So the optimal thing for you to do, whether you’re an open source software developer or a Twitter armchair analyst, is to figure out your specialty zone that’s simultaneously useful, but unique – and then homestead it. Establish and cultivate it, like a garden or a plot of land, that you’re tending for the communal benefit of everyone. People come to associate that little plot of land with you specifically, and think of you whenever they go near it.

Jon Gurd's 'Lion' is out now. --- DJ and producer Jon Gurd releases his ten-track LP ‘Lion’ today on Anjunadeep. The album release comes after four singles, which have seen support from the likes of electronic heavyweights such as Solomun, Stephen Bodzin, Alan Fitzpatrick, Adriatique, Gorgon City, and Shadow Child. A respected selector and producer, Jon came through the UK underground in the early 2000s as resident DJ at the legendary Slinky in Bournemouth, warming up for the likes of Mauro Picotto and Paul Van Dyk. His early productions were championed by Paul Woolford, Sasha, Lee Burridge, James Zabiela, and Sander Kleinenberg, and Jon soon found himself travelling the world performing alongside the artists he’d been opening for not long before. His burgeoning DJ career was put on hold in 2010 when Jon went through two life-changing experiences - the suicide of his older brother, and his young son’s diagnosis of severe epilepsy. “These two events completely changed my motives for making music, and made me wonder if I was to even carry on doing it at all”. After a hiatus, Jon’s music became faster and darker, described by Resident Advisor as “jet-black techno”. He collaborated with Alan Fitzpatrick and Reset Robot, and won support from the likes of Adam Beyer, Loco Dice, Scuba, Nicole Moudaber, and Pan-Pot. Following another break from music, Jon released an EP on Sasha’s Last Night On Earth imprint, which he cites as a transformative milestone, which led him to create ‘Lion’. “I was extremely fragile, trying to piece my life back together after what you could probably describe as a complete nervous breakdown, not sure of my sound or what I was trying to achieve, but was just going with the feeling... Getting that EP signed kind of made me sit up and take notice. It felt as though a clear path was forming. This led me to make the album Lion, and when I look back on my career in many year’s time maybe releasing Lion on Anjunadeep will be the big milestone, let’s see. It certainly feels as exciting!” Written in late 2019, and inspired by themes of loss and rebirth, ‘Lion’ is a deeply personal album born out of a tumultuous period that has shaped Jon’s life. “It felt like a release of emotion when writing it. It’s about exploring the emotions that we go through as humans… the emotions that come and go, our place in the universe, being grateful for being here, spreading love and helping people get through tough times.” ----- In support of Jon's son, Jon and Anjunadeep are raising money for UK charity KIDS. KIDS provide emotional and practical support to over 13,500 disabled children, young people and their families across the UK. You can donate to Jon’s campaign via the following two options: 1. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jongurd 2.

You can get there from here
It must have been a day of the purest pain and sadness, yet at some apparently forgettable moment, the horror went away, and now he’s joking around and it’s a normal day again. In this sense, time functions as a kind of true alchemy — it can dissolve any experience, no matter how permanent it seems as it’s happening, and replace it with another. sunny moments in the backyard in which nothing seems to be wrong.

the glory of the rollcall
the glory of the rollcall
But when I looked at the other members of the tent on display Tuesday night, I felt real solidarity for the first time in years. The Dems might always be in disarray: sloppy, unwieldy, corny, off message. But the alternative — and the homogeneity, compromise, and willful blindness that accompanies it — doesn’t feel like the future. It feels, overwhelmingly, irrefutably, like the past we’ve already left behind.

The Other Digital Divide
The Other Digital Divide
But let’s go back to my original point. The divide between Silicon Valley and the rest of the country is wider it has ever been. Half my Twitter is people looking to angel-invest their millions in apps, and the other is reporters documenting the latest lows America has hit. This doesn’t bode well for the country, and will become a political and social flashpoint sooner than later. It surely is not sustainable. If the tech industry wants to enjoy its relative welcome, it should do more.
