Philosophy, Sexism, Emotion, Rationalism

description: Something  important  is  happening  within  and  to  Philosophy.1It  is  something  that  has  happened  a  thousand  times  over,  yet  every time it repeats it happens as if for the first time. The dif-ficulty is making this event stick. What is this event? The event of the disruption of Philosophy by its own outside, the outside that it pretends it does not have. Philosophy, by virtue of being the most universal subject, the most generic art, cannot imagine that  there  is  something  which  it  cannot  capture  or  has  not  al-ways already captured, one way or another. But things fall apart. They  fall  apart  a  lot,  and  very  quickly.  I  want  to  focus  here  on  Philosophy  as  a  discipline  in  its  academic  form,  particularly  in  the  UK  and  US,  before  turning  to  some  of  the  claims  made  in  the  recent  Xenofeminist  manifesto2  and  the  Gender  Nihil-ism anti-manifesto3 regarding the feminizing of reason and the abolition  of  gender.  I  will  ultimately  agree  with  the  Xenofemi-nist  manifesto  when  it  states  that  “[r]ationalism  must  itself  be  a  feminism”  and  with  the  Gender  Nihilist  text  when  it  argues  that the subversion of gender is a dead-end. I want only to add that what usually gets sidelined and undermined as “emotion,” and is frequently gendered as feminine or female, is also itself a rationalism, and that emotion and reason are in fact not mortal enemies,  but  rather  inseparable  branches  of  the  collective  ex-perience of social and political life that Philosophy purports to address.

Data Privacy in Multi-Cloud: An Enhanced Data Fragmentation Framework

description: Data splitting preserves privacy by partitioning data into various fragments to be stored remotely and shared. It supports most data operations because data can be stored in clear as opposed to methods that rely on cryptography. However, majority of existing data splitting techniques do not consider data already in the multi-cloud. This leads to unnecessary use of resources to re-split data into fragments. This work proposes a data splitting framework that leverages on existing data in the multi-cloud. It improves data splitting mechanisms by reducing the number of splitting operations and resulting fragments. Therefore, decreasing the number of storage locations a data owner manages. Broadcasts queries locate third-party data fragments to avoid costly operations when splitting data. This work examines considerations for the use of third-party fragments and application to existing data splitting techniques. The proposed framework was also applied to an existing data splitting mechanism to complement its capabilities.

description: Conditional imitation learning (CIL) trains deep neural networks, in an end-to-end manner, to mimic human driving. This approach has demonstrated suitable vehicle control when following roads, avoiding obstacles, or taking specific turns at intersections to reach a destination. Unfortunately, performance dramatically decreases when deployed to unseen environments and is inconsistent against varying weather conditions. Most importantly, the current CIL fails to avoid static road blockages. In this work, we propose a solution to those deficiencies. First, we fuse the laser scanner with the regular camera streams, at the features level, to overcome the generalization and consistency challenges. Second, we introduce a new efficient Occupancy Grid Mapping (OGM) method along with new algorithms for road blockages avoidance and global route planning. Consequently, our proposed method dynamically detects partial and full road blockages, and guides the controlled vehicle to another route to reach the destination. Following the original CIL work, we demonstrated the effectiveness of our proposal on CARLA simulator urban driving benchmark. Our experiments showed that our model improved consistency against weather conditions by four times and autonomous driving success rate generalization by 52%. Furthermore, our global route planner improved the driving success rate by 37%. Our proposed road blockages avoidance algorithm improved the driving success rate by 27%. Finally, the average kilometers traveled before a collision with a static object increased by 1.5 times.

description: Peut-on  mettre  en  rapport  la  recherche  des  critères  de  scien-tificité et les études sur le genre ? Y a-t-il des raisons de rapport-er la façon d’identifier la science à un sexe plutôt qu’à un autre ? Les  deux  questions  peuvent  sembler  éloignées,  mais  elles  sont  mises en tension par un fait général : les critères de la science ont été recherchés de façon systématique au siècle où la situation de la femme s’est, dans nos pays occidentaux, nettement améliorée du point de vue de l’accès à la connaissance et à l’exercice d’une profession  scientifique.  Dans  le  moment  où  l’on  cherchait  des  règles pour reconnaître la science de ce qui n’est pas science, les femmes ont pris une place effective, non exceptionnelle, dans les études scientifiques et philosophiques. Y a-t-il un rapport entre ces  deux  mouvements  ?  L’échec  de  la  recherche  de  ces  critères  universels,  qui  sont  maintenant  reconnus  comme  ayant  une  valeur  locale,  les  modifications  au  concept  d’objectivité  qu’il  a  provoquées, peuvent-ils avoir des conséquences sur l’ouverture aux femmes de l’accès aux sciences ?
Thinking WithOut

description: Although  words  such  as  feminism,  gender,  women  are  not  in-cluded  in  the  title,  and  are  hardly  mentioned  in  the  whole  text — they are at the very heart of it. It is only through feminist theory  that  I  have  realized  what  it  means  to  have  a  non-smug  theory that is not all about self-satisfaction, self-promotion, and self-preservation  as  is  the  case  with  most  Western  theoretical  projects;  it  is  only  through  feminist  politics  that  I  have  discov-ered what it means to have politics that is not translated into the preservation of the status quo and/or reduced to an instrument of power. Generations  of  feminists  are  showing  us  how  being  politi-cal always calls for one’s own undoing; it involves re-imagining and re-inventing our own positions, locations, and belongings. And finally, it is a life of experiencing the invisibility of women’s thinking and doing that teaches us — if we want to make a dif-ference, if we are looking for a change — not to rely on what is visible, thinkable, sayable, audible, or generally, on what is given or taken for granted.
"Girls Welcome!!!": Speculative Realism, Object-Oriented Ontology, and Queer Theory
Creators: name: O'Rourke, Michael
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2016

description: I begin with two epigraphs, both of which were guest columns written  for,  commissioned  especially  by,  PMLA.  Although  they  are  separated  by  fifteen  years,  they  both  make  some  strikingly  similar  points  which  are  relevant  for  someone  attempting  to  chart  the  potential  connections  or  intimacies  between  queer  theory  and  speculative  realism  (and  in  this  position  piece  I’m  placing  quite  a  strong  emphasis  on  object-oriented  ontology  which  is  just  one  offshoot  of  speculative  realist  thinking).  The  first thing we might emphasize is the need to pin things down, to say what exactly queer theory is and does and to be entirely clear  about  what  speculative  realism  is  and  what  precisely  it  is  that speculative realists do. Yet, perhaps the power and virtue of both queer theory and speculative realism, what makes them so compatible, is that neither is a delimitable field. Part of the attraction of both is their very undefinability, their provisionality, and, most importantly, their openness.
Temporal Self-Organization in Galaxy Formation
Creators: name: Cen, Renyue
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report on the discovery of a relation between the number of star formation (SF) peaks per unit time, $ν_{\rm peak}$, and the size of the temporal smoothing window function, $Δt$, used to define the peaks: $ν_{\rm peak}\proptoΔt^{1-ϕ}$ ($ϕ\sim 1.618$). This relation holds over the range of $Δt=10$ to $1000$Myr that can be reliably computed, using a large sample of galaxies obtained from a state-of-the-art cosmological hydrodynamic simulation. This means that the temporal distribution of SF peaks in galaxies as a population is fractal with a Hausdorff fractal dimension equal to $ϕ-1$. This finding reveals, for the first time, that the superficially chaotic process of galaxy formation is underlined by a temporal self-organization up to at least one gigayear. It is tempting to suggest that, given the known existence of spatial fractals (such as the power-law two-point function of galaxies), there is a joint spatio-temporal self-organization in galaxy formation. From an observational perspective, it will be urgent to devise diagnostics to probe SF histories of galaxies with good temporal resolution to facilitate a test of this prediction. If confirmed, it would provide unambiguous evidence for a new picture of galaxy formation that is interaction driven, cooperative and coherent in and between time and space. Unravelling its origin may hold the key to understanding galaxy formation.

description: High-frequency radar, HFR, is a cost-effective monitoring technique that allows us to obtain high-resolution continuous surface currents, providing new insights for understanding small-scale transport processes in the coastal ocean. In the last years, the use of Lagrangian metrics to study mixing and transport properties has been growing in importance. A common condition among all the Lagrangian techniques is that complete spatial and temporal velocity data are required to compute trajectories of virtual particles in the flow. However, hardware or software failures in the HFR system can compromise the availability of data, resulting in incomplete spatial coverage fields or periods without data. In this regard, several methods have been widely used to fill spatiotemporal gaps in HFR measurements. Despite the growing relevance of these systems there are still many open questions concerning the reliability of gap-filling methods for the Lagrangian assessment of coastal ocean dynamics. In this paper, we first develop a new methodology to reconstruct HFR velocity fields based on self-organizing maps (SOMs). Then, a comparative analysis of this method with other available gap-filling techniques is performed, i.e., open-boundary modal analysis (OMA) and data interpolating empirical orthogonal functions (DINEOFs). The performance of each approach is quantified in the Lagrangian frame through the computation of finite-size Lyapunov exponents, Lagrangian coherent structures and residence times. We determine the limit of applicability of each method regarding four experiments based on the typical temporal and spatial gap distributions observed in HFR systems unveiled by a K-means clustering analysis. Our results show that even when a large number of data are missing, the Lagrangian diagnoses still give an accurate description of oceanic transport properties.

Radion dynamics in multibrane Randall-Sundrum model

description: The radion in the Randall-Sundrum model is stabilized by the back reaction of a bulk scalar field with its VEV depending on the fifth dimensional coordinate. We studied the radion dynamics in an extended scenario, where intermediate branes exist between the UV and IR branes. Our analysis proves that the formalism of EFT delivers the same equations of motion as the linearized Einstein equation with all junction conditions satisfied. The relic of 5d diffeomorphism is broken after including the Goldberger-Wise stabilization and a unique radion field is conjectured as legitimate in the RS metric perturbation.

As Nietz sche himself  has  told  us,  “There  are  myriad  eyes.  Even  the  sphinx  had  eyes.  And  consequently  there  are  myriad  truths,  and  con-sequently there is no truth.”4 Thus we suppose a multiplicity of trans-  and  over-humans  (are  we  not  all  already  post-human?)  if  only  to  overcome  the  last  humans,  as  we  imagine  the  trans-human phantasm in our own image.

description: We consider the ability of three models - impacts, captures, and collisional cascades - to account for a bright cloud of dust in Fomalhaut b. Our analysis is based on a novel approach to the power-law size distribution of solid particles central to each model. When impacts produce debris with (i) little material in the largest remnant and (ii) a steep size distribution, the debris has enough cross-sectional area to match observations of Fomalhaut b. However, published numerical experiments of impacts between 100 km objects suggest this outcome is unlikely. If collisional processes maintain a steep size distribution over a broad range of particle sizes (300 microns to 10 km), Earth-mass planets can capture enough material over 1-100 Myr to produce a detectable cloud of dust. Otherwise, capture fails. When young planets are surrounded by massive clouds or disks of satellites, a collisional cascade is the simplest mechanism for dust production in Fomalhaut b. Several tests using HST or JWST data - including measuring the expansion/elongation of Fomalhaut b, looking for trails of small particles along Fomalhaut b's orbit, and obtaining low resolution spectroscopy - can discriminate among these models.

description: The recent introduction of coherent optical communications has created a compelling need for ultra-fast phase-sensitive measurement techniques operating at milliwatt peak power levels and in time scales ranging from sub-picoseconds to nanoseconds. Previous reports of ultrafast optical signal measurements in integrated platforms[8-10] include time-lens temporal imaging on a silicon chip[8,9] and waveguide-based Frequency-Resolved Optical Gating (FROG). Time-lens imaging is phase insensitive while waveguide-based FROG methods require the integration of long tuneable delay lines - still an unsolved challenge. Here, we report a device capable of characterizing both the amplitude and phase of ultrafast optical pulses with the aid of a synchronized incoherently-related clock pulse. It is based on a novel variation of Spectral Phase Interferometry for Direct Electric-Field Reconstruction (SPIDER)that exploits degenerate four-wave-mixing (FWM) in a CMOS compatible chip. We measure pulses with <100mW peak power, a frequency bandwidth >1THz, and up to 100ps pulsewidths, yielding a time-bandwidth product (TBP)>100.

description: We consider a diffusion process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with a generator of the form $ L:=\frac 12 e^{V(x)}div(e^{-V(x)}\nabla ) $ where $V$ is measurable and periodic. We only assume that $e^V$ and $e^{-V}$ are locally integrable. We then show that, after proper rescaling, the law of the diffusion converges to a Brownian motion for Lebesgue almost all starting points. This pointwise invariance principle was previously known under uniform ellipticity conditions (when $V$ is bounded), and was recently proved under more restrictive $L^p$ conditions on $e^V$ and $e^{-V}$. Our approach uses Dirichlet form theory to define the process, martingales and time changes and the construction of a corrector. Our main technical tool to show the sub-linear growth of the corrector is a new weighted Sobolev type inequality for integrable potentials. We heavily rely on harmonic analysis technics.

description: We present Deformable Voxel Grids (DVGs) for 3D shapes comparison and processing. It consists of a voxel grid which is deformed to approximate the silhouette of a shape, via energy-minimization. By interpreting the DVG as a local coordinates system, it provides a better embedding space than a regular voxel grid, since it is adapted to the geometry of the shape. It also allows to deform the shape by moving the control points of the DVG, in a similar manner to the Free Form Deformation, but with easier interpretability of the control points positions. After proposing a computation scheme of the energies compatible with meshes and pointclouds, we demonstrate the use of DVGs in a variety of applications: correspondences via cubification, style transfer, shape retrieval and PCA deformations. The first two require no learning and can be readily run on any shapes in a matter of minutes on modest hardware. As for the last two, they require to first optimize DVGs on a collection of shapes, which amounts to a pre-processing step. Then, determining PCA coordinates is straightforward and brings a few parameters to deform a shape.

description: In late January 2009, I sat down to re-read Nietz sche’s Geneal-ogy  of  Morals.  I  remember  this  otherwise  uneventful  event  so  distinctly  because  at  that  moment  the  first  of  Israel’s  series  of  twenty-first-century  wars  on  Gaza  was  brutally  and  unremit-tingly  underway.  During  that  three-week-long  military  attack,  Israel  killed  over  1,400  Palestinians,  most  of  whom  were  civil-ians  and  approximately  400  of  whom  were  children.  Israel,  in  fact,  deliberately  targeted  civilians  —  including  children  and  humanitarian  aid  workers  —  assaulting  Palestinians  simulta-neously by air, land, and sea, and deploying white phosphorus against them, a chemical intended to operate as a smokescreen for troop movements but when used as a weapon burns people’s flesh down to the bone.1 The brutality of Israel’s war was all the more agonizing due to the fact that the people of Gaza were not allowed to leave there, Gaza itself being among the most dense-ly  populated  areas  on  the  earth.  This  unrelenting,  intentional,  and  indiscriminate  massacre,  conducted  by  one  of  the  largest  military  powers  in  the  world  against  a  largely  unarmed,  civil-ian,  refugee,  and  subject  population,  resulted  in  mass  murder,  rampant homelessness, devastation of Gaza’s infrastructure, and destruction of the major institutions and workings of Palestin-ian  daily  life,  including  schools,  universities,  mosques,  hospi-tals, and roads.

description: By improving the Bose-Einstein condensate model of dark matter through the repulsive three-particle interaction to better reproduce observables such as rotation curves, both different thermodynamic phases and few-particle correlations are revealed. Using the numerically found solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for averaging the products of local densities and for calculating thermodynamic functions at zero temperature, it is shown that the few-particle correlations imply a first-order phase transition and are reduced to the product of single-particle averages with a simultaneous increase in pressure, density, and quantum fluctuations. Under given conditions, dark matter exhibits rather the properties of an ideal gas with an effective temperature determined by quantum fluctuations. Characteristics of oscillations between bound and unbound states of three particles are estimated within a simple random walk approach to qualitatively models the instability of particle complexes. On the other hand, the density-dependent conditions for the formation of composites are analyzed using chemical kinetics without specifying the bonds formed. The obtain results can be extended to the models of multicomponent dark matter consisting of composites formed by particles with a large scattering length.

description: We demonstrate that for a cosmic variance limited experiment, CMB E polarization alone places stronger constraints on cosmological parameters than CMB temperature. For example, we show that EE can constrain parameters better than TT by up to a factor 2.8 when a multipole range of l=30-2500 is considered. We expose the physical effects at play behind this remarkable result and study how it depends on the multipole range included in the analysis. In most relevant cases, TE or EE surpass the TT based cosmological constraints. This result is important as the small scale astrophysical foregrounds are expected to have a much reduced impact on polarization, thus opening the possibility of building cleaner and more stringent constraints of the LCDM model. This is relevant specially for proposed future CMB satellite missions, such as CORE or PRISM, that are designed to be cosmic variance limited in polarization till very large multipoles. We perform the same analysis for a Planck-like experiment, and conclude that even in this case TE alone should determine the constraint on $Ω_ch^2$ better than TT by 15%, while determining $Ω_bh^2$, $n_s$ and $θ$ with comparable accuracy. Finally, we explore a few classical extensions of the LCDM model and show again that CMB polarization alone provides more stringent constraints than CMB temperature in case of a cosmic variance limited experiment.

Nietzsche’s Amor Fati: Wishing and Willing in a Cybernetic Circuit
Creators: name: Masciandaro, Nicola
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2016

description: This  paper  is  commentary  on  The  Gay  Science  §276  in  light  of  the cybernetic.3 The natural connection between the cybernetic and  Nietz sche’s amor fati is evident in their intersection within the principle of interface as the site of steering or helmsmanship (kubernēsis). Nietz sche names this love under the double sign of Januarius — at once the two-faced god of beginnings/doorways/gates and the saint whose annually liquefying blood signals the miracle  of  spiritual  renewal  —  and  installs  it  as  a  navigational  protocol in the form of a new year’s resolution: “Let that be my love from now on!” Amor  fati, I will affirm, is the protocol for navigating interface itself, a pure cybernetic law that steers steer-ing per  se  around  the  radically  immanent  negative  interfacial  pole of looking away: “Let looking away be my only negation!” Love of fate, the positive formulation of not worrying, is a pros-thetic intrinsically necessary for manipulating the inoperability of  interface,  its  being  “a  medium  that  does  not  mediate.”4  Far  from  representing  an  immaterial  or  merely  subjective  affect,  amor  fati  enjoys  a  terrifying  invisible  positive  traction  and  in-escapable occult influence upon all interfaces.

description: In the 1830s, fleeing a cholera epidemic in Berlin, Schopenhauer writes the following in his notebook: When  I  was  seventeen,  without  any  proper  schooling,  I  was  affected  by  the  misery  and  wretchedness  of  life,  as  was  the  Buddha  when  in  his  youth  he  caught  sight  of  sickness,  old  age,  pain  and  death  [...]  the  result  for  me  was  that  this  world  could  not  be  the  work  of  an  all-bountiful,  infinitely  good being, but rather of a demon who had summoned into existence  creatures  in  order  to  gloat  over  the  sight  of  their  anguish and agony.1Now,  Schopenhauer  was  no  Buddha,  but  the  passage  reveals  something at the core of his thinking, and that is the dual ori-gin of pessimism. On the one hand, pessimism is conditional, it stems from observation and experience, but also from inclina-tion and predilection — maybe you’re stressed out, maybe you’re feeling under the weather, maybe something somewhere hurts. This conditional pessimism can be found in Pascal, Lichtenberg, the  French  moralists,  and  it  surfaces  in  Schopenhauer’s  many grumblings concerning humanity, caught as it is in the pedantic, existential metronome of boredom and striving.

description: Recent new realist theories intend to respect objects by leaving them to their own “weird” ways.1 However, in seeking to rethink how  objects  access  each  other,  and  how  humans  have  access  to  the  world,  these  philosophies  consistently  center  on  ques-tions  of  having  access  to  things  or,  put  simply,  having  them.2Ultimately,  there  is  something  perversely  exotic  about  objects  framed, through the language of object-orientation, as a form of alterity that is meant to be had even if from afar. This dynamic carries  sexual  undertones  and  is  entangled  in  objectification  and  reification.  Any  fetishist  will  attest  that  weirdness  can  be  sexy,  and  this  holds  true,  it  would  appear,  even  in  philosophy.  Whether or not one chooses to read terms like allure and with-drawal  as  flirtatious  or  frigid,  attributing  distant  availability  to  objects produces what I call an exoticism of objects. As we will see,  this  exoticism  troubles  economies  of  access  and  having,  which I contend are foundational for new realist philosophies.

description: Recently, remote respiratory rate measurement techniques gained much attention as they were developed to overcome the limitations of device-based classical methods and manual counting. Many approaches for RR extraction from the video stream of the visible light camera were proposed, including the pixel intensity changes method. In this paper, we propose a new method for 1D profile creation for pixel intensity changes-based method, which significantly increases the algorithm's performance. Additional accuracy gain is obtained via a new method of motion signals grouping presented in this work. We introduce several changes to the standard pipeline, which enables real-time continuous RR monitoring and allows applications in the human-computer interaction systems. Evaluation results on two internal and one public datasets showed 0.7 BPM, 0.6 BPM, and 1.4 BPM MAE, respectively.

description: Let X/S be a quasi-projective morphism over an affine base. We develop in this article a technique for proving the existence of closed subschemes H/S of X/S with various favorable properties. We offer several applications of this technique, including the existence of finite quasi-sections in certain projective morphisms, and the existence of hypersurfaces in X/S containing a given closed subscheme C, and intersecting properly a closed set F. Assume now that the base S is the spectrum of a ring R such that for any finite morphism Z -> S, Pic(Z) is a torsion group. This condition is satisfied if R is the ring of integers of a number field, or the ring of functions of a smooth affine curve over a finite field. We prove in this context a moving lemma pertaining to horizontal 1-cycles on a regular scheme X quasi-projective and flat over S. We also show the existence of a finite surjective S-morphism to the projective space P_S^d for any scheme X projective over S when X/S has all its fibers of a fixed dimension d.

description: The  composition  presented  below,  And  They  Were  Dancing,  is  one  of  five  such  compositions  that  were  created  over  the  past  nine  years.  During  this  time  I  have  been  engaged  in  rethink-ing the question of the subject in terms of the ontological turn suggested by Deleuzian philosophy, speculative realism, and ob-ject-oriented  ontologies,  as  well  as  feminist  theories  including  object-oriented feminism.1 Gaining attention in the academy in the early years of the twenty-first century, the ontological turn has encouraged a rethinking of human-centered thought in or-der  to  take  up  the  non-human,  or  the  agencies  and  animacies  of  objects,  things,  and  environments.  It  might  be  thought  that  the turn to the non-human turns away from the human subject, the  human  body,  human  consciousness,  and  cognition,  which  cannot but raise the question: who are the subjects of this turn of thought or who became engaged with it one way or another? To  raise  this  question  does  not  have  to  mean  simply  reducing thought to the personal — biography or autobiography. Rather, it may lead us to reflect on the personal catch of arising world sensibilities, the feeling of thought stirring in a psychic arrange-ment, urging us to follow a subjective intuition.
