Nowhere Is Not Enough Fractured Identity and the Proemial Relation as Channel Abstract This paper argues that identity between two logical subjects — two contextures in Gotthard Günther’s sense — is not a binary fact but a dimensional structure, and that…

There is a well-known photograph - or rather, a well-known kind of image - in which Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy point at each other simultaneously.

Given my old Macbook Pro with an Intel i7 is ageing (and quite well, I might say) I was contemplating buying a new Macbook Pro with an M2 or M3 processor.

The use of Generative AI allows a completely new programming paradigm.

In the past I was focusing mentally a lot on how large language models (LLMs) allow new ways how to interact with text data.

I have been fascinated with dream interpretation for a long time.

While GPT models have been around for a few years, it was only after the arrival of OpenAI’s ChatGPT that they caught the wider attention of the public.

Previously, I wrote why using Karma as a test runner to unit test your Firestore security rules for your Angular app is a bad idea.

I’m writing an Angular 14 app with Google Firebase Firestore as a database.

A few days ago I found a Bitcoin wallet.dat on a Macbook from 2011.

Understanding vector algebra is a prerequisite to selecting meaningful distance metrics for text embeddings.

I have written three blog posts about how to use Lucene 7 and OpenNLP to index part-of-speech tags and then use phrase queries to search on these tags.

Now that we can do searching on indexed part-of-speech tags what’s still missing is a way to introduce an order of search terms.

In my previous post I promised I’d describe how to perform searches on indexed part-of-speech data with Lucene 7 and OpenNLP.

I’ve carried the idea to use OpenNLP to do part-of-speech tagging and index the POS tags with Lucene around with me for quite some time.

There is a natural similarity between a rhizome’s relation and how modern transistors work.

Being a data scientist is no excuse for writing sloppy code.

Being a software engineer is not an excuse to complain about your data science colleagues.

There are various text mining libraries, packages and tools available, many of them as freeware.

I had assumed that reading from and writing to files in Apache Camel v2.16.1 should be a straight-forward thing to accomplish.

Skill cartridges built with Luxid 7 usually contain a mix of customized and standard software artefacts.

I wanted to know whether/how it is possible to embed R in a website.

As I was not able to find any tutorials on the web on how to use Temis Luxid 7.0.1 Webstudio, I simply decided to write my own.

In my last post on the implementation of rhizomes I still suggested using hash maps to store pairings, that is relations.

I wanted to know a little more on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in R.

During the last few months, I had several job interviews with different prospective employers.

Recently, I created a simple database management system including user rights management relying on GitHub, Jekyll, Prose, Heroku and a few other open source products.

I just stumbled over a very nice article authored by Paul Teetor on the use of total least-squares-regression in contrast to ordinary-least-squares regression for cointegration tests.

In one of my last posts I was not sure how R’s different ADF test functions worked in detail.

In an earlier post I explained how to install Jekyll-Auth.

Part 6 One of the most poorly understood and yet at the same time most important concepts of genetic programming (GP) is parsimony pressure.

Und erneut schreiben sie wieder - die Verschwörungstheoretiker.

Yesterday I wanted to find out whether a pair of stocks would be suitable for pair trading.

I wanted to turn on code syntax highlighting using rouge for my blog by adding the following line to my _config.yml file. highlighter: rouge Whereas this worked perfectly on my local Windows machine, I ran into problems with Jekyll on GitHub.

Part 5 At the core of every genetic programming (GP) strategy is the fitness function.

Yesterday I had to fill out a questionnaire on my programming skills as part of a job application procedure.

There is a good series of “cowboy-style” youtube videos on factor analysis.

When working with time series data, one often needs to calculate sums of consecutive numbers for a predetermined time frame.

Yesterday, my first article was accepted for publication on SeekingAlpha.com, which - I must admit - made me quite proud.

These are (hopefully) complete installation instructions for Jekyll-Auth.

Here are two great introductory videos on error correction models.

Cointegration is an important concept when dealing with time series data.

Part 4 Genetic Programming at its core uses a set of operators (selection, mutation, crossover, elitism etc.) and parameters (number of generations, population size etc.).

Yesterday, I wanted to calculate the significance of Pearson correlation coefficients between two series of data.

Part 3 Genetic programming (GP) heavily relies on existing time series data.

Recently, I had created a user form with JSONForm.

This is a wordcloud of G.

At a first glance, rhizomes may have a lot in common with existing technologies.

I am always subtly amused when opening a book and one of the first pages encountered states that this page is intentionally left blank.

Erez Elul, whose honor it is to have “discovered” or “invented” the data structures I deliberately continue to call rhizomes, originally named his invention pile (or pile system).
