Send us Fan MailHoy revisaremos la historia de una canción que parece tener sentido, pero que no dice nada, es solo ruido con forma de palabras. Eso genera una pregunta inquietante ¿cómo podemos distinguir entre un idioma que no conocemos, un mensaje en código o algo que sencillamente no tiene sentido? Un antiguo libro manuscrito en piel de animal ha desafiado a lingüistas y criptógrafos, profesionales y aficionados, y todavía no sabemos si es una broma elaborada, un código o el último registro de un idioma desconocido. Support the show

Deterministic AI Sets the Roadmap for Safer Communications, ICA AI Podcast. Rather than sending every word of every conversation into a large language model, Christensen describes a model where much of the decision-making is based on known patterns, trusted relationships, keywords, context, policy, and call behavior. In sensitive verticals such as financial services, healthcare, legal services, and government, that can be especially important because communications may involve private data, personally identifiable information, account details, medical information, or other sensitive content By Doug Green “As AI gets more powerful, the question is not simply whether it can answer a prompt. The question is whether it can be trusted in the communications path,” says Gerry Christensen, associate founder of ICA AI. “For high-security communications, deterministic AI is not just different. In many cases, it is necessary.” In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Gerry Christensen of ICA AI joins Doug Green to define an important distinction that is becoming central to the future of AI-powered communications: probabilistic AI versus deterministic AI. The conversation is less about a single product announcement and more about setting out a roadmap. Christensen explains why most people experience AI through probabilistic systems, including large language models that generate answers based on patterns, probabilities and prompts. Those tools can be powerful, but they can also hallucinate, miss context, or create outputs that sound confident while being wrong. For communications providers, MSPs, UCaaS providers, MVNOs and telecom resellers, Christensen argues that this distinction matters because voice networks are entering an era where AI will be used on both sides of the call. Legitimate businesses will use AI in contact centers. Bad actors will use AI to scale fraud, spoofing, robocalls and deepfake-style attacks. Consumers and enterprises will increasingly need AI to help determine which calls should get through, which calls should be challenged, and which calls should be blocked. ICA AI, short for Intelligent Communications Assistant, is built around that problem. Christensen describes the platform as an AI-based assistant that can support outbound calling and, perhaps more importantly, inbound call handling. The goal is to allow trusted calls from colleagues, friends, family and legitimate businesses to pass through, while filtering unwanted or suspicious calls. The core idea is determinism. Rather than sending every word of every conversation into a large language model, Christensen describes a model where much of the decision-making is based on known patterns, trusted relationships, keywords, context, policy and call behavior. In sensitive verticals such as financial services, healthcare, legal services and government, that can be especially important because communications may involve private data, personally identifiable information, account details, medical information or other sensitive content. Christensen gives the example of a financial services call. A probabilistic AI system might need to listen broadly and process the conversation through an LLM to determine intent. A deterministic system, by contrast, can look for specific markers of trust or risk: whether the caller is known, whether the call matches expected behavior, whether suspicious phrases appear, or whether the interaction moves toward unusual requests such as gift cards, new account instructions or other red flags. That approach, Christensen says, also has implications for cost, latency and scale. If most decisions can be made deterministically, the system does not need to rely on a distant AI data center for every interaction. That can reduce exposure of sensitive data, lower dependency on token-heavy AI processing, and support faster call-handling decisions. Christensen says ICA AI's approach relies on deterministic AI for roughly 85% to 95% of transactions. He connects that idea to Zipf's Law, the linguistic principle that a relatively small portion of language often carries much of the meaning. In communications, that means many call-handling decisions may not require open-ended AI interpretation. They may require the right data, the right rules, and the right deterministic understanding of what matters in the moment. The roadmap Christensen lays out is not anti-LLM and not anti-probabilistic AI. Instead, it is a layered model. Probabilistic AI can still be used when needed, especially when a conversation falls outside known patterns or requires deeper interpretation. But for high-security, high-volume communications, Christensen argues that deterministic AI should carry more of the load. For MSPs, channel partners and telecom providers, the message is direct: AI call management may become a new category of value-added service. As agentic AI increases the volume and sophistication of automated calls, enterprises and consumers will need tools that can help them determine whether a call is authentic, legitimate and safe. Christensen compares the coming environment to an arms race. AI will make fraud more scalable, but AI can also make communications more defensible. The providers that begin testing, integrating and understanding these capabilities early may be better positioned to offer customers a practical answer to a growing trust problem in voice communications. “Everybody is going to need to have an AI-based solution for consumers to handle inbound calls,” Christensen says. “In the world of agentic AI, it is conceivable that networks could be plastered with AI-generated calls.” Learn more: ICA AI: https://icai.ai/

En el podcast Productividad Máxima se explica cómo el Principio del Menor Esfuerzo puede transformar tu negocio: menos fricción, más entregas. Inspirado en Zipf, el episodio muestra que cuando el esfuerzo se reduce incluso un poco, la acción se repite con más frecuencia, y eso explica desde por qué un botón bien colocado multiplica ventas hasta por qué una plantilla acelera propuestas. Para emprendedores, la lucha real no es falta de horas, sino la suma de pequeñas trabas que hacen que pospongas lo importante. ¿Qué pasaría si identificas y eliminas esas fricciones para que las tareas críticas fluyan casi solas?El método propuesto tiene tres piezas simples que puedes aplicar ya: mapear la fricción en una tarea clave, duplicar estructuras para evitar pasos repetidos y automatizar microgestos con atajos prácticos (con enfoque en ocho gestos que cubren la mayoría del día). Ilustra con el caso de Carla, que pasó de tardar dos días en una propuesta a solo cuatro horas, aumentando la tasa de aceptación y reduciendo la postergación. Y para empezar: elige una tarea, crea una plantilla duplicable con marcadores, identifica dos atajos y úsala para enviar una versión lista sin una revisión adicional. ¿Qué resultado verás si aplicas esto mañana?Conviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/productividad-maxima--5279700/support.Newsletter Marketing Radical: https://marketingradical.substack.com/welcomeNewsletter Negocios con IA: https://negociosconia.substack.com/welcomeMis Libros: https://borjagiron.com/librosSysteme Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/systemeSysteme 30% dto: https://borjagiron.com/systeme30Manychat Gratis: https://borjagiron.com/manychatMetricool 30 días Gratis Plan Premium (Usa cupón BORJA30): https://borjagiron.com/metricoolNoticias Redes Sociales: https://redessocialeshoy.comNoticias IA: https://inteligenciaartificialhoy.comClub: https://triunfers.com

Episode 92 In the conclusion of Samarcand, we turn away from the fire itself and examine what happened after sixteen teenage girls were arrested — and what the justice system did when it realized it had no good options left. With Samarcand no longer able to house them, the state faced a question it wasn't prepared to answer: What do you do with traumatized, rebellious, and violently angry teenage girls the system has already failed? In this episode, we explore: The debate over how — or whether — the girls should be tried The real possibility of sending minors to adult penitentiaries The fear of releasing them back into the public And the consequences of incarcerating them in county jails unequipped to handle them As the girls were moved through the system, tensions exploded. Jail riots broke out. Authorities lost control. And the public narrative hardened around fear rather than reform. We examine how this case exposed a fundamental flaw in the justice system: it is built to punish or release — not to rehabilitate. Especially not when the defendants are young, angry, and shaped by institutional neglect. Finally, we look at what the Samarcand case changed — and what it didn't. How it influenced conversations around juvenile justice, where reform stalled, and why the same structural failures continue to repeat themselves today. This is not a story about guilt or innocence alone. It's about a system that had already run out of answers before it ever asked the right questions.

Episode 91 Sixteen girls. Multiple fires. A system built to control them — and a desperate act that forced the nation to look closer. In this episode, we step inside the walls of the Samarcand Reform School for Girls in North Carolina, where young women lived under harsh discipline, forced labor, and relentless institutional oversight. On the night they began setting fires, they weren't just striking a match — they were striking back. This is a story of defiance, injustice, and the blurred line between rebellion and survival. Were these girls arsonists — or victims fighting for autonomy the only way they could? Listen as we follow the smoke through history and confront the uncomfortable truth about who society punishes, who it protects, and what incendiary acts are born from desperation.

À première vue, le langage humain semble foisonnant, foisonnant au point d'être chaotique. Chaque langue possède ses milliers de mots, ses tournures, ses exceptions et ses bizarreries. Pourtant, derrière cette apparente complexité, se cachent des règles d'une rigueur étonnamment… mathématique. L'une des plus fascinantes a été mise en lumière dans les années 1930 par le linguiste américain George Zipf : la loi d'abréviation.Une loi simple mais puissanteFormulée par Zipf, cette règle décrit une tendance universelle : plus un mot est fréquemment utilisé, plus il tend à être court. Prenons un exemple en français : “et”, “de”, “à” ou “je”. Ces mots ultra-fréquents ne comptent qu'une ou deux lettres. À l'inverse, les termes plus rares – “chlorophylle”, “hétérozygote” ou “incommensurable” – sont plus longs. En d'autres termes, notre cerveau, en quête permanente d'efficacité, réserve la brièveté aux mots du quotidien et accepte la longueur pour les mots occasionnels.L'efficacité comme moteurCette loi n'a rien d'un hasard : elle illustre ce que Zipf appelait le principe du moindre effort. Quand nous communiquons, nous cherchons naturellement à transmettre un maximum d'informations avec un minimum d'effort. Les mots courts, faciles à prononcer et rapides à écrire, remplissent ce rôle pour les idées que nous utilisons le plus souvent. Cette logique contribue à rendre les échanges plus fluides et à limiter la fatigue cognitive, aussi bien pour celui qui parle que pour celui qui écoute.Une règle universelle ?Ce qui intrigue les chercheurs, c'est que cette loi ne semble pas se limiter aux langues humaines. Des travaux récents en bioacoustique ont montré que certains oiseaux suivent exactement la même tendance. Les sons les plus fréquents qu'ils utilisent – pour marquer un territoire, avertir d'un danger ou attirer un partenaire – sont plus courts que leurs vocalisations plus rares.

Von Edith Meinhart. Was bedeutet es, die NS-Vergangenheit vor der eigenen Haustür aufzuarbeiten? Christian Limbeck-Lilienau ist der Ururenkel des Brauerei-Gründers von Zipf und scheut normalerweise die Öffentlichkeit. Anlässlich der 40-Jahr-Feier eines NS-Mahnmals, das an die Zwangsarbeiter und KZ-Häftlinge erinnert, die in den Stollen unter der Brauerei die V2-Rakete – die vermeintliche Wunderwaffe der Nazis – testen mussten, macht er eine Ausnahme. Limbeck-Lilienau hatte sich für einen Ort des Gedenkens eingesetzt, als die Brauherren und die örtliche Bevölkerung nur eines wollten: Vergessen! Dafür wurde er ausgegrenzt, angefeindet und sogar bedroht. Zeitweise musste seine Familie nach Wien übersiedeln. In dieser Folge redet er über seine Erfahrungen und warum er nicht glaubt, dass wir aus der Geschichte genug lernen.Die Dunkelkammer ist ein Stück Pressefreiheit.  Unabhängigen Journalismus kannst Du auf mehreren Wegen unterstützen:  Mit einem Premium-Abo bei Apple Podcasts Mit einer Mitgliedschaft bei der Plattform Steady  Mit einer direkten Spende Oder einem Artikel aus unserem Shop  Vielen Dank!

Whales and humans might be worlds apart, but when it comes to how we structure our sounds, we're surprisingly alike. In a new study, psychologist Inbal Arnon and her team found that humpback whale songs follow a core rule of human language known as Zipf's law—a statistical pattern that predicts how often we use certain words.

The tree of life is a noisy place. From one branch come hoots and howls, from another come clicks and buzzes and whines. And coming from all over you hear the swell of song. But what is all this ruckus about? Why do so many animals communicate with sound? What kinds of meaning do these sounds convey? And—beyond the case of human speech— do any of these sounds merit the label of “language”? My guest today is Dr. Arik Kershenbaum, a zoologist at Cambridge University. Arik is an expert on vocal communication across the animal kingdom and the author of the recent book Why animals talk: The new science of animal communication. Here, Arik and I talk about why the acoustic medium is a popular choice for complex communication. We sketch a key difference between forms of communication that are purely expressive and forms that are also referential. We discuss, in turn, Arik's field research on wolves, hyraxes, and gibbons—and talk about what makes each of these animals such a revealing case study. We evaluate our prospects for quote unquote "translating" different kinds of animal communication, and we speculate about what communication systems could look like on other planets. Along the way, Arik and I touch on: noisy versus tonal sounds; short-range versus long-range communication; chorusing and duetting; simplicity and complexity; syntax and meaning; entropy; alarm calls; dolphins, orcas, and cuttlefish; and how you can tell that wolves take a certain pleasure in howling. Without further ado, here's my chat with Dr. Arik Kershenbaum.   A transcript of this episode will be posted soon.   Notes and links 6:30 – In the human case, of course, our most elaborated form of communication—language—comes in both spoken and signed forms. For more on the different modalities of human language, see, e.g., our earlier episode with Dr. Neil Cohn. 7:30 – The distinction between expressive and referential communication is perhaps most strongly associated with the linguist Roman Jakobson—see, for instance, this essay. For more on the question of whether animal communication systems involve reference, see this recent (philosophical) discussion. 9:00 – For a classic example of work on predator alarm calls in vervet monkeys, see here.  13:00 – For an example of Dr. Kershenbaum's work on wolf (and other canid) howls, see here. The study provides evidence for howling “dialects.”  24:30 - Examples of coyote chorusing can be heard here and here. 27:00 – A study showing that human listeners overestimate the size of a coyote group. 29:00 – For an example of Dr. Kershenbaum's work on hyrax song, see here.

This week Jeff and Dave pick up an article (linked below) from Ernest Blum in the American Scholar (September 2008) on the once hugely popular (and now wholly neglected) interlinear method of language learning. 19th century businessman and aspiring pedagogue James Hamilton (1769–1831) found the Greek and Latin instruction of his time hopelessly slow and backward: "How . . . is it possible that a child should be chained to the oar, seven, eight, or ten of the best years of his life, to get a language or two, which, I think, might be had at a great deal cheaper rate of pains and time, and be learned almost in playing?" In response, Jimbo developed a system of fitting the translation, in this case English, directly below the line, which privileged reading above all other forms of study as the sole and proper method of learning. Jim made some extravagant claims about the Hamiltonian method's prospects for success: "Reading is the only real, the only effectual source of instruction. It is the pure spring of nine-tenths of our intellectual enjoyments. . . . Neither should it be sacrificed to grammar or composition, nor to getting by heart any thing whatever, because these are utterly unobtainable before we have read a great deal.” But is he right? What about spoken language acquisition? What about images? Games? And what about Zipf's law? The guys examine the article and Blum's claims in light of their own language acquisition and instruction, comparing the Hamiltonian system to Loebs, the finer elements of Greek and Latin syntax, and what'er else strikes their fancy.

What would you like to see more of? Let us know!In today's episode of Discover Daily, we explore how Earth bacteria demonstrated remarkable adaptability by rapidly colonizing samples from the asteroid Ryugu, despite rigorous containment protocols. The Japanese Hayabusa2 spacecraft's samples, initially microbe-free, saw bacterial growth expand from 11 to 147 organisms within a week of Earth exposure, raising important questions about containment methods for future space missions and our understanding of microbial adaptation to extraterrestrial materials.A NASA-funded study has challenged our understanding of life's molecular preferences, revealing that RNA shows no inherent bias toward left or right-handed amino acids. This discovery questions long-held assumptions about how life developed its distinctive molecular handedness and suggests that life's preference for left-handed molecules emerged through evolution rather than chemical predetermination, potentially broadening our criteria for detecting life beyond Earth.Scientists have uncovered a fascinating mathematical pattern known as Zipf's Law that appears consistently across human languages, where the most frequent word occurs about twice as often as the second most common word, three times as often as the third, and so on. This pattern, which transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries, may reflect fundamental aspects of human cognition and could help develop more natural AI language processing systems, while raising intriguing questions about language evolution and brain function.From Perplexity's Discover Feed: https://www.perplexity.ai/page/bacteria-colonizes-asteroid-sa-6M8G2zu5QUqahhLVD2WwWQhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/life-s-left-handed-mystery-MNDE1vGXTs.G1dgCgPDT6ghttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/zipf-s-law-in-languages-aLTn8J_gRlO39uqMv9t2sAShop like a Pro: Perplexity's new AI-powered shopping assistantPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

CINDY ZIPF OF THE CLEAN OCEAN ACTION JOINS DAWN - LATEST IN THE LOCAL NJ WIND TURBINE PROJECT... CINDY EXPANDS ON THE RECENT APPROVAL AND WHAT IT COULD MEAN... NJ hits reset on offshore wind, approves two massive projects - VIA EE NEWS BY POLITICO...New Jersey was ground zero for offshore wind's woes in 2023. Now, it's a testing ground for the industry's recovery. New Jersey utility regulators awarded contracts Wednesday to a pair of the largest offshore wind projects ever planned in the United States. The two projects combined would generate enough power to supply 1.8 million homes and deliver an emissions cut equivalent to removing nearly 1.3 million cars from the road. The decision by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities came on the heels of a Danish developer's move last year to cancel two projects slated to serve the state. The cancellation dealt a major blow to Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy's climate and clean energy goals and raised serious questions about the future of offshore wind in the United States. Cindy Zipf uses her passion for science and advocacy to create campaigns and programs to drive public policy and reduce pollution.  Since its beginning in 1984, she has been at the helm of COA, the lean, green, ocean pollution fighting machine that is the only full-time ocean advocacy organization dedicated exclusively to the NY and NJ region. She reviews and evaluates regional, state, and federal policies for impacts to marine water quality and, through science, research and education, works toward solutions for issues of concern. Cindy is a graduate of the University of Rhode Island with a B.A. in Geography and Marine Affairs with a special emphasis in marine science. In 1984 the waters off the NY/NJ coasts were known as the “Ocean Dumping Capitol of the World”, and in response, the Coalition was formed and consisted of 20 organizations. As a founder and a staff of one, Cindy has expanded the coalition to over 120 organizations and a professional staff of ten full-time employees.

Matt Crawford speaks with author Dr. Catherine Zipf about her book, Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water: America Architecture During the Depression Era. Frank Lloyd Wright was a polarizing figure and many books have been written about his life and work. However, the pivotal era in his life between his initial fame and his great works like Falling Water often go under covered. The depression era would help set the stage for his pivotal peace and Zipf takes the deep dive to show us how that arose. A great read that is sure to entertain.

CINDY ZIPF OF THE CLEAN OCEAN ACTION - CINDY JOINS DAWN LIVE TO BREAKDOWN THE NATIONAL NEWS AS ORSTED PULLS OUT OF THE WIND TURBINE WIND FARM PROJECT IN NJ - PHIL MURPHY FURIOUS - WHAT DOES THIS MEAN MOVING FORWARD? WILL THE ENVIRONMENTAL BASE REALIZE THIS IS DISRUPTING THE NATURAL HABITAT?  VIA NY TIMES -  Offshore Wind Firm Cancels N.J. Projects, as Industry's Prospects DimDenmark's Orsted said it would be forced to write off as much as $5.6 billion as wind developers in the U.S. faced wrenching financing costs. Plans to build two wind farms off the coast of New Jersey were scrapped, the company behind them said on Wednesday, a blow to the state's efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions and the latest shakeout in the U.S. wind industry. The move, which will force Orsted, a Danish company, to write off as much as $5.6 billion, will crimp the Biden administration's plans to make the wind industry a critical component of plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. High inflation and soaring interest rates are making planned projects that looked like winners several years ago no longer profitable. “The world has in many ways, from a macroeconomic and industry point of view, turned upside down,” Mads Nipper, Orsted's chief executive, said on a call with reporters on Wednesday. The two projects, known as Ocean Wind 1 and 2, were destined to provide green energy to New Jersey. They were strongly backed by the state's governor, Phil Murphy, a Democrat with national ambitions who stresses his environmental credentials but who has lately drawn scorn for falling short in combating climate change. On Wednesday he suggested that Orsted was a dishonest broker and insisted that the “future of offshore wind” along the state's 130-mile coastline remained strong. Cindy Zipf uses her passion for science and advocacy to create campaigns and programs to drive public policy and reduce pollution.  Since its beginning in 1984, she has been at the helm of COA, the lean, green, ocean pollution fighting machine that is the only full-time ocean advocacy organization dedicated exclusively to the NY and NJ region.

本文作者：刘远举又到一年一度的毕业季了。现在的年轻人的确很难。2022年中国高校毕业生规模首次突破1000万人，达到1076万人，同比增加167万人。国家统计局最新数据显示，2022年4月，16-24岁青年人的失业率达18.2%，创2020年3月以来新高。近日，58同城、赶集直招发布了《2022年毕业季调研分析报告》，报告显示，受疫情影响，51%的毕业生更倾向于选择更加稳定的工作，39%的毕业生可以接受相对较低的薪资。一线城市因就业机会、经济实力与区位优势较为突出，仍为大部分毕业生工作首选城市，具体来看，深圳、广州为很大一部分毕业生工作首选就业城市，其中深圳毕业生净流入率达3.5%。与此同时，新一线城市也受到了欢迎。所谓新一线城市，指《第一财经周刊》于2013年首次提出的“新一线城市”概念。它依据商业资源集聚度、城市枢纽性、城市人活跃度、生活方式多样性和未来可塑性五大指标，每年评出15座新一线城市。2022年评出的15座新一线城市依次是：成都、重庆、杭州、西安、武汉、苏州、郑州、南京、天津、长沙、东莞、宁波、佛山、合肥和青岛。从工作城市来看，选择在新一线城市就业的毕业生比例稳步上升。2021届本科生中，在新一线城市就业的比例达到27%，相比2017届毕业生增加3个百分点。新一线城市中，苏杭、成都毕业生流入增长明显。同时，选择在一线城市工作的毕业生比例从2017届的22%减少至2021届的18%。与此同时，麦可思研究院发布的《2022年就业蓝皮书》发现，近五年大学毕业生就业重心下沉，更多毕业生涌向地级市及以下地区，其民企、政府机关及事业单位对大学生的吸纳能力增强。那么，毕业生该怎么选择就业城市？如果你可以在老家城市当公务员，并且你也愿意过这种生活，那么不必考虑了。但如果没有，我觉得有两条规律，非常重要。Zipf法则人口向城市集中的规模会服从Zipf法则，所谓Zipf法则，指一个城市人口在全国的排名取对数+这个城市的总人口取对数的和，应该是一个常数a。换一种说法，就是一个国家最大城市的人口数量为第二大城市人口数量的两倍，是第三大城市人口数量的三倍，以此类推。Zipf法则还有一条补充规则，那就是随着国家人口规模的扩大，首位城市的人口集聚度会因国家总人口增加导致的城市数量增加而降低。简单地说，就是国家越大，人口越多，大城市的人口聚集度会减少。这是因人口变多 ，能够维持规模效应的城市变多，同时，距离变大，首位城市虽然有吸引力，但离家乡太远，人们不愿意去。也就是说，对于中国这样幅员辽阔、人口众多的国家，更多的地区性大型城市是符合规律的。这些城市会分掉特大城市的人口。根据《2022年毕业季调研分析报告》，今年毕业生找工作，就有38%的毕业生选择新一线城市是因为离家较近。中国很大，可以存在多个区域中心城市，除了北上广深外，比如成都、武汉等等，都可以成为区域中心。但无论如何，能成为区域城市的，总是有限的几个，人们会向这些地方移动，那么，另一些地方的人就会减少。这个规律对个人而言，就意味着，如果你没有在这些中心城市定居，将来你的孩子，可能还会走一遍你的路。值得注意的是，这条规律也预示了，那些距离一线城市近的地方，反而会被虹吸。反过来说，像成都这样离得比较远的，反而能自成一体。目前，全国主要城市基本都已发布2020年统计公报，公布了2020年人口自然增长率的26个城市中，有8个城市步入负区间。北方城市有三个，即辽宁的沈阳、抚顺，山东的威海。南方城市有5个，都在江苏，即泰州、扬州、镇江、常州和无锡，全都迈入自然人口负增长行列。一个地方人口下不下降，与它本身的经济实力，以及与离它最近的中心城市的距离有关。无锡虽然经济不错，也有规模效应，但靠近苏州与上海，自然会被这两个规模更大的城市虹吸。甚至由于离得太近，都无需高铁，高速公路就能产生虹吸效应，一日往返。那么，无锡的年轻人自然会到苏州、上海去。同样，苏州、上海、无锡，都摆在面前，选择前两者的几率更高一些。人的选择虽然是直观的，但这背后，实际上就是选择去人均GDP高的地方。这里的人均GDP，必须是基于一个相对较大的地域。比如，上海周边的无锡，虽然人均GDP更高，但体量太小。无锡的华西村，人均GDP更高，但显然不会成为人们选择的一个主要目的地。虽然数据显示，去大城市的少了，但是，这并不意味着去大城市不好。一个更难的事，往往意味着更好。而且，大城市现在也放低了门槛，也在积极地欢迎年轻人，上海最近出台了很多吸引大学生的政策。有的地方为求职毕业生提供住宿、交通便利。向上翘起的职场曲线选择大城市，最让人望而生畏的是大城市的房价。的确如此。不过，考虑房价，不能以起薪来估计。甚至都不能以三五年、十年后的工资来估计。进入职场之后，每个人都会经历一个近乎停滞的缓慢上升的阶段，在这个阶段，就是平平淡淡地上班、下班、学习、培训，缓慢地升职、加薪。新民晚报近期的报道指出，今年全国各企业整体调薪率为7.4%，相较去年有0.5个百分点的增幅。如果你的工资是10000元，每年按这个水平加薪，10年之后，你的工资会是20000元。所以，在这种情况下，人们观察到的职场规律是，平稳的上升曲线。人们会用这个趋势，来预测自己的将来，自然会觉得，照这个趋势下去，买房、买车、结婚，似乎都是遥不可及的事，由此产生焦虑。但实际上，一些人会一直保持这种状态，直到退休。这是一个职场常态，毕竟，职场，乃至穷人与富人的结构，是一个金字塔型的。但是，这其中少数的一些人，则会在保持这样的状态一段时间后，在短时间内，比如2、3年内，有一个飞跃。收入、职称、社会地位等等，在这个阶段，是飞速上升的。如果把这种趋势图形化，则是一个向上翘起的曲线。有一次去参加一个校友聚会，有人就说起，当初刚到上海的时候，贷款100万，觉得这是一笔要还一辈子的钱，但是，没想到才过三五年，这笔钱对自己来说，就从天文数字，变成一个并不算太大的负担。实际上，他的经历，就是一个典型的向上翘起的职业发展曲线。网上流传这样一个帖子：竹子用了4年的时间，仅仅长了3厘米，从第五年开始，以每天30厘米的速度疯狂生长，仅仅用了六周的时间就长到了15米。其实，在前面的四年，竹子将根在土壤里延伸了数百平方米。这当然是一个心灵鸡汤，不过，也并不算是完全捏造的。幼竹的生长，一定程度上，的确如此，先长根，然后，短期内飞速长高。专业的描述如下：在初期：笋尖露头，笋体横向膨大，节间生长缓慢，日高生长量一般1～2厘米；上升期：地下各节拉长生长基本停止，形成根系，地上节间生长由缓增快，日均高生长量10～20厘米；盛期：竹根伸长并产生侧根，地上节间伸长达高峰，日高生长量达1米左右。职场也是如此，先是默默地积累，在技能、人脉和见识上不断积累。完成积累阶段之后，很多人已经不再年轻，不再拥有学习的黄金状态，但各方面的积累已经非常丰富，此时他们最该做的事，就是飞跃。即积累的转换与“变现”，完成飞跃，划出向上翘的曲线。人一旦进入这个曲线之后，你会发现，十年前对你来说是天文数字的房价，已经不是问题。其实，职业、事业，都是如此，长时间的积累，抓住机会，完成厚积薄发的跃迁，而质变往往在1、2年内完成。大城市更难，但天花板也更高，实现这种飞跃也更容易。即便到时候没有留在大城市，这种东西，也会对一个人的职场发展，带来长期的好处。最起码，存的钱更多一些，去到其他城市买房，也更容易。所以，先去大城市历练一番，不是坏事。

Der 1852 geborene Schweizer besorgte sich 1887 in Paris einen eigenen Ballon „Urania“ und flog mit ihm kreuz und quer durch Europa. Er beförderte Prominente, wie Kaiser Franz Joseph, den Grafen von Zeppelin, aber auch zahlreiche Wissenschaftler, die in der Höhe Experimente machten. Irgendwann um 1895 begann er aus dem Korb Luftaufnahmen auf Glasplatten zu machen, die mit der Zeit eine bedeutende Sammlung darstellten. Als der Motorflug die Ballon-Luftfahrt verdrängte und nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg die Begeisterung für Ballonfahrten nachließ, musste er seine Bildersammlung verkaufen und arbeitete Anfang der 20er Jahre vor einem Ballon posierend in einem Vergnügungspark in Kopenhagen. 23 zog er ins österreichische Zipf und baute eine Hühnerzucht auf. Gänzlich von der Weltöffentlichkeit vergessen starb er dort 1931. Paula Leu lässt uns an der Begeisterung für die Ballonfahrt und für Spelterini teilhaben.

Seth Godin is the author of over 18 books. Free Prize Inside won Forbes' Business Book of the Year in 2004, while The Dip was a Business Week and New York Times bestseller. In 2018, Godin was inducted into the American Marketing Association's Marketing Hall of Fame. He also runs a blog named in 2009, by Time, as one of the 25 best blogs.  Introduction to The Dip https://geni.us/the-dip-free-audiobook (The Dip) builds on Seth Godin's insights introduced on his blog titled ‘The four curves of want and get.' Every new project starts out exciting and fun. But after this initial excitement, the project will get harder and less fun. Eventually, you will hit a low point in your pursuits. Seth Godin calls this challenging period a dip. This dip is one of three things: an opportunity, a cul-de-sac, or a cliff. You must quit the cul-de-sacs and cliffs so you can reallocate resources. You must persevere with all other pursuits, no matter how hard, so that you can become the best in your world. StoryShot #1: Be the Best You Can Be Our society obsesses over those who are number one. We give plaudits to the song or sports person that sits at the top of the charts. Similarly, we reward those employees that are performing the best. But the result of this obsession is that rewards are heavily skewed. Godin points out that, on average, first place generally gets ten times the winnings of whoever places tenth. This is Zipf's law and is found in almost all fields. Zipf's law suggests a non-linear relationship whereby rewards reduce exponentially. With limited time and opportunity to experiment, we intentionally narrow our choices to those at the top.  Therefore, you need to do everything in your power to become the best. If you are not going to be the best, then you should just quit. Crucially, Godin does not necessarily mean the best anybody could ever be. Instead, he explains you need to be the best for you, right now, based on what you believe and know. You need to be the best in your world.  StoryShot #2: The World Is Changing When considering becoming the best in the world, you have to accept that the world is changing. The internet has made the world considerably bigger than it used to be.  Being better than 98% of the competition used to be fine, but it's useless in the world of Google. The competition is always one click away. So, you have to be better than a considerably larger number of people. Conversely, the world is getting smaller in other ways. For example, niches and specialization are becoming increasingly important. We no longer look for the best wine. Instead, we are looking for the best Merlot from a specific region that can be delivered to your home later that day. StoryShot #3: The Curves Curve 1: The Dip The dip is your best friend. The brave thing to do in life is tough out the dips and end up on the other side. On the other side, you will benefit from being the best in the world. As well as being brave, you also have to be smart. Godin suggests the smart thing is to not bother starting tasks that are too difficult. If you do, you will be too ill-equipped to make it through the dip. Several people do what Godin...

This week on the show, your nice hosts take two very different in-depth approaches to a topic that pops up a lot on the show:  the ever-challenging calendar math! We spoke with Jajeev on a recent episode about UI design. User Interfaces We recently spoke with Martha's dad about board game design and his work writing cross-compilers for 8-bit computers.

An αβ T-cell receptor is composed of two highly variable protein chains, the α chain and the β chain. However, based only on bulk DNA or RNA sequencing it is impossible to determine which of the α chain and β chain sequences were paired in the same receptor. In this episode, Kristina Grigaityte talks about her analysis of 200,000 paired αβ sequences, which have been obtained by targeted single-cell RNA sequencing. Kristina used the power law distribution to model the T-cell clone sizes, which led her to reject the commonly held assumptions about the independence of the α and β chains. We also talk about Bayesian inference of power law distributions and about mixtures of power laws. Links: Single-cell sequencing reveals αβ chain pairing shapes the T cell repertoire.
