Maximilian Hell (født 15. mai 1720, død 14. april 1792) var en ungarsk astronom og jesuitt­prest kjent for sitt arbeid med astronomiske observasjoner på 1700-tallet. Han ledet det keiserlige observatoriet i Wien og ble spesielt sendt til Vardø i Norge i 1768–1769 for å observere Venus-passasjen foran Solen, noe som bidro til mer nøyaktige målinger av avstanden mellom Jorda og Sola. Hell publiserte også astronomiske tabeller og var aktiv i flere vitenskapelige selskaper. I ettertid har krateret Hell på Månen blitt oppkalt etter ham. Hosted on Acast.

On this week's episode, I'm joined by Father David Vard, a Kildare native and one of Ireland's youngest priests, who graduated seminary at just 25. Father David speaks openly about his journey to the priesthood, emphasizing the importance of faith and God in navigating life and expressing a willingness to embrace his beliefs, regardless of external judgment. With rare candour, Father David opens up about the loneliness he sometimes feels, the vow of celibacy and addresses criticism head-on, including being willing to be judged or ridiculed for his convictions. This is a conversation about spirituality as a personal journey, about growth through belief, and about the gift.LinksMy new thriller How It Falls Apart out now

Å elske verden slik som Gud elsker den, er ikke mulig for kirken. Vel vitende om dette, gav Jesus likevel kirken et forbilde og et kall til etterfølgelse. Hva betyr det å elske verden? Og hvordan kan vi vokse på feltet?

Guds kjærlighet kan berøre våre hjerter og forvandle våre liv. I denne talen stopper vi opp ved Mefiboset - en stakkar i Bibelen som fikk et nytt liv på grunn av en god konge. Og vi ser at hans historie på mange måter også er vår historie. (Ps. Talen ble avsluttet med sangen "Av nåde er jeg båret" av North Worship - https://open.spotify.com/album/4OizmXfMo1G0w9elyqLHX0?si=Pzvy3qeuSlqeQeizeqws8g)

Når Jesus i en samtale med noen ledere sier at han er den gode hyrde, sier han samtidig: Jeg er døren! Hva mener han med det? Hva har døren med hyrden å gjøre? Og hvorfor sier han dette i en samtale om lederskap? Vi ser nærmere på dette, og oppdager at disse Jesu ord er (svært) relevant for både sauer og hyrder i dagens kirke.Hovedvers: Joh. 10, 1-11

Sauer og hyrder får mye spalteplass i Bibelen. Det når sitt toppunkt når Jesus sier han er Den gode hyrde - et utsagn som skapte raseri.

David Vard looks at this final time of Lent.  How can we renew our Lenten commitments?  How can we deepen our conversion?  How can we begin to prepare for the great time of Holy Week?

Happy Spooky Wednesday, friends!This week Brittany is bringing you the story of the Vardøger - a kind of spirit or paranormal experience (depending on who you ask). Often confused with things like déjà vu, it makes you feel like you experienced something before it happens! It's described as a precursor spirit. It imitates an individual's actions, characteristics, and even physical appearance before their actual arrival. Have you ever heard your partner walk into a room and turn on the TV? But when you go into the room, they're not there and the TV is off? And then 15 minutes later they come home and turn on the TV? You might have been Vardøger-ed. It sounds pretty harmless, but we're pretty sure it's an experience that would be very creepy if it happened to you.

Håvard skal løpe fra Oslo til Bergen i sommer. La oss bli kjent!Det er totalt gjennomført over 20 slike intervjuer av årets OBT-deltakere.

Håvard Bakke er skuespiller og musiker. Han har fint lite anger, fordi han er veldig ærlig med seg selv på valg han har tatt. Vi snakker bl.a. om hvordan det er å være en så markant stemme i livet til så mange mennesker, å ha blitt filmstjerne så tidlig i livet, og hvordan han har taklet det i etterkant, at musikken alltid har vært hovedinteressen, at samspillet mellom mennesker og det å skape noe sammen er det viktigste i jobben hans, å spille 2-3 timer Bruce Springsteen-musikk på en kveld, og det å forsvinne i det universet, hvor krevende det er å gjøre dubbing bra, om tiden i «Hotel Cæsar» og hvor fantastisk det var å kunne spille en karakter helt strippet for empati, og at han fikk så ekstremt mye kameratrening og kunne bidra veldig mye på utviklingen av rollen sin også, å ha en 35 år lang karriere i en alder av 50, og samtidig ha et godt forhold til de tre barna sine, om hvor dårlig gjort det er med mennesker som skyver barna sine foran seg, å egentlig mislike musikaler, men å ha lært at det kan finnes så mange flere lag i karakterene han spiller der som gjør det mye større og bedre, å prioritere familie foran «True Blood» og en god del om at det ikke koster så mye å være hyggelig når folk kommer bort og hilser på deg i butikken, det store savnet av bestevennen Tommy Karlsen og om VitaePro-reklamen, som han er drittlei, men absolutt ikke angrer på.Programleder: Sivert MoeSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/anger.

At this time of year, thoughts turn to the North Pole and the Arctic region, which is of course home to Santa Claus, as well as a wonderful array of wildlife. On tonight's programme, Richard and Niall reminisce about their own visit to the Arctic back in 2016, when the pair reported for us from Vardø, the easternmost town in Norway.

Today's book is: Witchcraft: A History in 13 Trials (Scribner, 2024), by Dr. Marion Gibson, which explores the global history of witch trials across Europe, Africa, and the Americas, told through thirteen distinct trials that illuminate a pattern of demonization and conspiratorial thinking that has profoundly shaped human history. Some of them are famous like the Salem witch trials, and some lesser-known, like the 1620s witch trial on Vardø island, Norway, where an indigenous Sami woman was accused of murder; the last witch trial in France in 1731, where a young woman was pitted against her confessor and cult leader; and a trial in Lesotho in 1948, where British colonial authorities executed local leaders. Exploring how witchcraft was feared, then decriminalized, and then reimagined as gendered persecution, Witchcraft takes on the intersections between gender and power, indigenous spirituality and colonial rule, political conspiracy and individual resistance. Offering a striking, dramatic journey unspooling over centuries and across continents, Witchcraft offers insights into some of the cruelest moments in history, reclaims voices that have been silenced, and asks us to seriously consider how we will create a future without further witch trials. Our guest is: Dr. Marion Gibson, who is Professor of Renaissance and Magical Literatures at the University of Exeter, UK. She is the author of numerous scholarly articles, and seven academic books on witches in history and literature. She is General Editor of the series Elements in Magic for Cambridge University Press. Witchcraft: A History in Thirteen Trials is her most recent book. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who works as a developmental editor for scholars, and is the producer of the Academic Life podcast.

Today's book is: Witchcraft: A History in 13 Trials (Scribner, 2024), by Dr. Marion Gibson, which explores the global history of witch trials across Europe, Africa, and the Americas, told through thirteen distinct trials that illuminate a pattern of demonization and conspiratorial thinking that has profoundly shaped human history. Some of them are famous like the Salem witch trials, and some lesser-known, like the 1620s witch trial on Vardø island, Norway, where an indigenous Sami woman was accused of murder; the last witch trial in France in 1731, where a young woman was pitted against her confessor and cult leader; and a trial in Lesotho in 1948, where British colonial authorities executed local leaders. Exploring how witchcraft was feared, then decriminalized, and then reimagined as gendered persecution, Witchcraft takes on the intersections between gender and power, indigenous spirituality and colonial rule, political conspiracy and individual resistance. Offering a striking, dramatic journey unspooling over centuries and across continents, Witchcraft offers insights into some of the cruelest moments in history, reclaims voices that have been silenced, and asks us to seriously consider how we will create a future without further witch trials. Our guest is: Dr. Marion Gibson, who is Professor of Renaissance and Magical Literatures at the University of Exeter, UK. She is the author of numerous scholarly articles, and seven academic books on witches in history and literature.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: o1-preview is pretty good at doing ML on an unknown dataset, published by Håvard Tveit Ihle on September 20, 2024 on LessWrong. Previous post: How good are LLMs at doing ML on an unknown dataset? A while back I ran some evaluation tests on GPT4o, Claude Sonnet 3.5 and Gemini advanced to see how good they were at doing machine learning on a completely novel, and somewhat unusual dataset. The data was basically 512 points in the 2D plane, and some of the points make up a shape, and the goal is to classify the data according to what shape the points make up. None of the models did better than chance on the original (hard) dataset, while they did somewhat better on a much easier version I made afterwards. With the release of o1-preview, I wanted to quickly run the same test on o1, just to see how well it did. In summary, it basically solved the hard version of my previous challenge, achieving 77% accuracy on the test set on its fourth submission (this increases to 91% if I run it for 250 instead of 50 epochs), which is really impressive to me. Here is the full conversation with ChatGPT o1-preview In general o1-preview seems like a big step change in its ability to reliably do hard tasks like this without any advanced scaffolding or prompting to make it work. Detailed discussion of results The architecture that o1 went for in the first round is essentially the same that Sonnet 3.5 and gemini went for, a pointnet inspired model which extracts features from each point independently. While it managed to do slightly better than chance on the training set, it did not do well on the test set. For round two, it went for the approach (which also Sonnet 3.5 came up with) of binning the points in 2D into an image, and then using a regular 2D convnet to classify the shapes. This worked somewhat on the first try. It completely overfit the training data, but got to an accuracy of 56% on the test data. For round three, it understood that it needed to add data augmentations in order to generalize better, and it implemented scaling, translations and rotations of the data. It also switched to a slightly modified resnet18 architecture (a roughly 10x larger model). However, it made a bug when converting to PIL image (and back to torch.tensor), which resulted in an error. For round four, o1 fixed the error and has a basically working solution, achieving an accuracy of 77% (which increases to 91% if we increase the number of epochs from 50 to 250, all still well within the alloted hour of runtime). I consider the problem basically solved at this point, by playing around with smaller variations on this, you can probably get a few more percentage points without any more insights needed. For the last round, it tried the standard approach of using the pretrained weights of resnet18 and freezing almost all the layers, which is an approach that works well on many problems, but did not work well in this case. The accuracy reduced to 41%. I guess these data are just too different from imagenet (which resnet18 is trained on) for this approach to work well. I would not have expected this to work, but I don't hold it that much against o1, as it is a reasonable thing to try. Thanks for listening.

As Europeans embarked on their colonial ventures in the Americas, they also forged new frontiers closer to their homelands. In Norway's far northern territory of Finnmark, settlers from the south moved into the ancestral home of the Indigenous Sámi people, and by the end of the seventeenth century, nearly five percent of the population had been tried for witchcraft. This episode tells the story of Norway's Vardø witch trials and their legacy.  Researched, written, and produced by Corinne Wieben with original music by Purple Planet.   Episode sources  Support the Show.EnchantedPodcast.netFacebook/enchantedpodcastInstagram/enchantedpodcastTumblr/enchantedpodcast
