Podcasts about Zipf

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. An example hyrax song can be heard here.  34:00 – For a primer on syntax in animal acoustic communication, see here.  40:00 – Examples of gibbon song can be heard here and here.  45:00 – For a paper on the syntax and complexity of gibbon songs, see here.  48:30 – A paper by Dr. Arik Kershenbaum and colleagues on entropy and Zipf's law in animal communication.  57:30 – A paper on Darwin's theory of “musical protolanguage” 59:30 – An example of research on orca communication.  1:00:00 – For more about Project CETI, see here.  1:07:00 – See Dr. Kershenbaum's other book, The Zoologist's Guide to the Galaxy.    Recommendations The Reign of Wolf 21, by Rick McIntyre Through a window, by Jane Goodall   Many Minds is a project of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, which is made possible by a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation to Indiana University.

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.

Este episódio aborda um aspecto diferente, complementar, que é a análise matemática, quantitativa, de textos, e como isso pode ajudar a encontrar semelhanças e diferenças entre diversas línguas (mesmo artificiais), entender suas origens e os mecanismos com os quais elas evoluem. O convidado é Eduardo Altmann, professor da School of Mathematics and Statistics da Universidade de Sidney na Austrália e, conversando com ele, Jeferson Arenzon do Departamento de Física da UFRGS.

Cindy Zipf joins Dawn to kick off the 11 AM Hour; breaking down the NJ hearings around the controversial Wind Turbines - as NJ seems to be doubling down on the project and downplaying concerned citizens. Cindy breaks down how important these decisions are as a clean ocean is something all citizens can benefit from. The politicization of this issue has Cindy frustrated as the "development is ahead of the science". Learn more at CleanOceanAction.org.

In Berlin gibt es ein Museum, ein Haus der Zukunft, das Futurium. Ich halte es für eine hervorragende Idee einen Raum zu schaffen, in dem über die Zukunft (beziehungsweise Zukünfte) diskutiert wird, vor allem auch darum, weil sich dieses Museum auch stark an Kinder, beziehungsweise junge Menschen wendet. Es hat mich folglich sehr gefreut, dass die Leiterin der Ausstellung, Frau Fr. Dr. Zipf sich zu einem Gespräch bereiterklärt und mich ins Futurium eingeladen hat.  Im Gespräch stelle ich die Frage, warum Zukunft im Plural, also Zukünfte verwendet wird: Ziel ist das Aufzeigen von Möglichkeiten. Aber wie weit ist Zukunft gestaltbar, von wem, welche Rolle spielt das Individuum? Wie kann der Versuch, Zukunft vorstellbar machen funktionieren? Dr. Zipf ist Archäologin und da stellt sich naturgemäß die Frage: wie passt die Archäologie zur Beschäftigung mit der »Zukunft«? Gibt es eine Herangehensweise an »Zeit«? Kann man möglicherweise Prinzipien aus der Geschichte ableiten? »Die Geschichte wiederholt sich nicht« Und dennoch ist, wie sich im Gespräch zeigt, die Beschäftigung mit der Vergangenheit von Wert, wenn man in die Zukunft blicken möchte. So  diskutieren wir die Notwendigkeit eines inter- und intradisziplinären, also eines multiperspektivischen Blicks. Was ist die Rolle von Generalisten versus Spezialistentum, der Philosophie? Das Futurium selbst besteht aus vier verschiedene Ebenen: Ausstellung Lab Veranstaltungen Digitales Futurium Kann ein Haus, beziehungsweise ein Projekt wie das Futurium eine vermittelnde, eine Generalisten-Rolle einnehmen? Wie versucht das Futurium die »futures literacy« zu verbessern — also pädagogische Ansätze zu entwickeln um auch junge Menschen eine kritische aber konstruktive Perspektive der Zukunft anschaulich zu machen? Was ist von Zukunftsforschung zu halten (jenseits von Individuen die sich breit inszenieren, deren Vorhersagen aber selten zutreffen?)? Was sagen die Bilder, die wir uns von der Zukunft machen über uns aus? Dann diskutieren wir die sehr prinzipelle Frage, was ist eigentlich eine gute Zukunft? Das führt uns das zur Frage des Fortschrittes: »Wir verwechseln systematisch Fortschritt mit Innovation.«, Harald Welzer Apropos Innovation: Erleben wir wirklich eine solche Beschleunigung, wie das gängige Narrativ suggeriert, oder eher eine Stagnation? Was wir heute als Zukunft diskutieren, haben wir schon vor 30 Jahren diskutiert — vielleicht sogar noch früher. »Überhaupt hat der Fortschritt das an sich, daß er viel größer ausschaut, als er wirklich ist.«, Johann Nestroy Helfen Dystopien, die Menschen zu bewegen, oder ist das zwar ein narrativ einfacher, aber letzlich wenig hilfeicher Pfad? Wie kommen wir von den Dystopien und einfachen Klischees/Stereotypen hin zu einer konstruktiven und sinnvollen Diskussion der Zukunft? Wie können wir mit den Herausforderungen der Gegenwart und Zukunft umgehen: wieweit hilft Innovation? Wie kommen wir zu einer gemeinsamen Sicht auf Fortschritt? Wollen wir radikalen Wandel (siehe etwa die Vorstellungen Le Corbusiers, wie Paris umzugestalten wäre), Transformation, evolutionäre Veränderung? Gibt es Kipp-Punkte in der Technik und Gesellschaft, die dazu führen können, dass eine an sich bekannte Technik (endlich) den Durchbruch schafft (siehe auch das Beispiel der Elektro LKWs in London 1917)? Die Geschichte lehrt und jedenfalls eines: dass das, was aktuelle Generationen für richtig halten, nicht immer den Test der Zeit besteht. Was können und sollen wir tun um einerseit in unserer Zeit zu handeln, andererseits aber Handlungsspielraum für zukünftige Generationen zu erhalten?

Episode SummaryShould you be lazy? The answer might surprise you.We often hear the advice to ‘work hard'. When we have difficulties, well-meaning people advise us to bear down, buckle-up or lean in and ‘work harder'. But in this episode, we take a closer a look at this piece of advice in the light of the 80/20 principle. Specifically, I'll introduce or reintroduce you to Zipf's Law of least effort and how it can help you do more by doing less.

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。

In der heutigen Folge beschäftigen wir uns zusammen mit der Vossischen Zeitung vom 5. Mai 1922 mit der Luftballonfahrt und stoßen dabei auf den Pionier der Luftfahrt und Luftaufnahme: Eduard Spelterini. 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.

On this episode we are joined by singer-songwriter Andy Zipf on the eve of the release of his latest single, “Did You Know I Was A Ghost?” and in anticipation of his upcoming album, How To Make A Paper Airplane. Zipf, a 20-year veteran artist, has worked with labels and functioned as an indie. He has been in bands and has been a solo artist. His latest album, however, takes his work to a whole new place. Drummer and percussionist Jay Bellerose, bassist Jennifer Condos, keyboardist Tyler Chester, and upright bassist Dennis Crouch, have played with T Bone Burnett, Robert Plant, Over The Rhine, Madison Cunningham, and too many others to list. As Zipf's band, they bring sparkle and depth to his excellent songs about loss, doubt, mystery, and beauty. And speaking of sparkle and depth, we cue up U2's Achtung Baby on the True Tunes Jukebox and take a careful listen 30 years on. Artist manager and certified geek Nick Barre joins JJT to examine the lingering legacy of this postmodern classic. Don't miss Andy's exclusive acoustic performance of "Did You Know I Was A Ghost?" on True Tunes at 45RPM. The True Tunes Podcast is sponsored by VisionTrust.org.

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...

Vanessa Fowler's sister Allison Baden-Clay was murdered by her husband, shattering her family and community. Now she and her family are turning that devastating experience into a force for good, establishing the Allison Baden-Clay Foundation to help people recognise the early signs of domestic and family abuse. The goal is to eradicate what is often described as Australia's pandemic. Vanessa is joined by JLL's head of human resources, Nicole Zipf, who explains the role of the workplace in stamping out domestic violence. Lydia King, a property management specialist, who leads JLL's agenda in gender issues as part of its diversity and inclusion programme, moderates the discussion.

La naturaleza está llena de regularidades matemáticas: los ciclos de los planetas, la relación entre la lluvia y la abundancia de las cosechas... Y a veces encontramos esas regularidades en cosas que también son naturales... pero están hechas por humanos. En este episodio os contamos cómo las poblaciones de las ciudades siguen una ley empírica conocida desde hace un siglo, la ley de Zipf, que aparece una y otra vez en campos tan dispares como la geología, la lingüística o la demografía. Esencialmente, nos dice que si ordenamos las ciudades de una región de la más poblada a la menos poblada deberíamos ver un patrón: la ciudad más poblada tendrá el doble de habitantes que la segunda, tres veces más que la tercera, y así sucesivamente. Os explicamos cómo economistas y matemáticos han tratado de demostrar que este patrón proviene de cómo crecen las ciudades, y os contamos la última aportación a este debate: un artículo que acaba de publicarse en la revista Nature y que podéis encontrar aquí: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2900-x Si os interesa este tema, este otro artículo también os gustará: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature05302 Este programa se emitió originalmente el 20 de noviembre de 2020.

Chip Judd and Jack Hoey, regulars on this podcast, have both been Christians for a long time and see prayer in very different lights. How much responsibility do we have to pray regularly and does God withhold blessings and provisions when we do not pray enough? Does God often communicate back to us? So many questions about prayer and we discuss many of them on this episode. At the top of the episode, Joey, Ellen Mauro and John Mark McMillan continue their conversation about porn and today specifically we discuss how significant the difference is between seeing naked bodies and watching sexual acts. I also surveyed our listeners on their personal struggles with mental illness and share the results in the intro.

Song you heard: The Lost Chorus is a collaboration between Alex Albert (Project 86, drums), Ryan Dennee (Stavesacre, guitar), Dirk Lemmenes (Stavesacre, bass) and Andy Zipf (vocals, guitar). In 2009, Alberts, Dennee and Lemmenes wrote several instrumental songs in a rehearsal space outside of Los Angeles. They reached out to Zipf, who added melodies, lyrics and some additional guitar parts. This resulted in a self produced and self titled EP released in 2011. In 2019, new material began to take shape, and a series of singles produced and mixed by Paul Fig (Deftones, Ghost, Alice in Chains) are now in process. The first song from this series, “Soft Lies” was released June 26, 2020. Find the Lost Chorus where ever you listen to your tunes.

Auf den Straßen wirkt die Covid-19 Pandemie wie die Krise von Gestern. Blickt man dahinter, droht mitunter der Veranstaltungs- und Kreativwirtschaft ein Existenzkampf, wer bleibt? In diesem Zuge eine bundesweite Veranstaltung statt, wo betroffene Gebäude in ganz Deutschland rot angestrahlt wurden. Auch in Jena hat man darauf reagiert, unter anderem mit einer Diskussionsrunde im Trafo. Wir möchten mehr wissen und stellen dem Moderator und Werkleiter von JenaKultur ein paar Fragen.

Auf den Straßen wirkt die Covid-19 Pandemie wie ein Thema von Gestern. Blickt man länger hin, droht mitunter der Veranstaltungs- und Kreativwirtschaft ein Existenzkampf, wer bleibt?

Éste es el episodio 24 de 3 Cosas Que Ayer No Sabía, el del jueves 3 de octubre de 2019. ¡Al lío! 01. Casas de gula Hoy he descubierto lo que son las “casas de gula”. Eran como nuestros restaurantes pero en el siglo XVI porque hasta esa época sólo existían las tabernas donde sólo se bebía, Lo más curioso de todo esto es que en pleno octubre de 2019 puedes visitar una casa de gula como las del siglo XVI. Se trata de una iniciativa que viene a calentar motores para el estreno de la segunda temporada de la serie La Peste. La Casa de Gula se encuentra ubicada en la calle Álvarez Quintero número 9, en la ciudad de Sevilla. Aquí puedes leer más información: https://www.traveler.es/gastronomia/articulos/restaurante-de-la-serie-la-peste-sevilla-casa-de-gula/16196 02. Voynich y la Ley de Zipf El usuario @nefer_neferu se ha marcado un pedazo de hilo en Twitter hablando del manuscrito Voynich: https://twitter.com/nefer_neferu/status/1178798391972810752?s=21 Yo ya le seguía la pista al manuscrito desde hacía algún tiempo, pero gracias a este hilo he descubierto que existe la Ley Zipf. Se trata de una ley empírica, formulada por el lingüista George Kingsley Zipf en la primera mitad del siglo XX. Según esta ley todas las lenguas tienen una frecuencia de aparición de determinadas palabras que pueden expresarse en una fórmula matemática 03.

Vilfredo Pareto was a leading economist, sociologist, and engineer in the 1800s. He is best known for the Pareto Principle, which is now known as the 80/20 Rule.[i] In short, the Pareto Principle explains the unequal distribution of wealth, income, land ownership, and production. Pareto stumbled upon this principle by observing how eighty percent of the land in France was owned by twenty percent of the population[ii] and that eighty percent of his peas were produced by twenty percent of his pea plants. What can you cut out of your life--and what can you double down on to see exponential gains and growth to reach your goals? [i] Many books have been written about the 80/20 rule over the past decade and how we can apply it to daily living, business, economics, and so on. The Four-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferres and The 80/20 Principle by Richard Koch are two of the best-known books on the topic. [ii] M. E. J. Newman, “Power laws, Pareto distributions and Zipf’s law,” arxiv.org, http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/cond-mat/pdf/04 z12/0412004v3.pdf (accessed November 30, 2015).   Until next time… Be a change maker, weave your destiny, own the future.

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.

Rufus legt de Wet van Zipf uit, een taalkundige regelmaat die je doet twijfelen aan het concept vrije wil. Sanne heeft het over Robert Liston, een man die ooit een operatie uitvoerde die met drie keer meer doden eindigde dan er patiënten waren, en toch de geschiedenis in ging als een bekwaam chirurg. Camiel vertelt een paar anekdotes over internationaal verdwalen in de moderne tijd. In de opname verwijzen we een paar keer naar links in de shownotes, maar Camiel was te lui om ze op te zoeken en over te tikken.

Green Wave Sweeps European Parliament / Beyond the Headlines / The Law of Languages / Misfit Produce at Your Doorstep / Our Planet / BirdNote®: Ruddy Duck Can binge-watching help save our stricken world? The producers of a new Netflix original series are hoping to move viewers enough to demand real action on climate change. Our Planet, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, is streaming majestic scenes of life on Earth -- through the sobering lens of climate change -- to millions of viewers. In fact the public's growing concern about climate change just helped usher in a new wave of Green party members to the European Parliament. And thanks to the increasingly fragmented body, with its multiple competing parties, the Greens have some leverage despite still holding only about 10% of seats. Also, every human language that's been tested follows a curious pattern called Zipf's law. Now researchers are looking to see if non-human languages, like the clicks and whistles used by dolphins and whales, follow a similar structure. The law of languages and more, in this episode of Living on Earth from PRI.

The earliest efforts to apply machine learning to natural language tended to convert every token (every word, more or less) into a unique feature. While techniques like stemming may have cut the number of unique tokens down, researchers always had to face a problem that was highly dimensional. Naive Bayes algorithm was celebrated in NLP applications because of its ability to efficiently process highly dimensional data. Of course, other algorithms were applied to natural language tasks as well. While different algorithms had different strengths and weaknesses to different NLP problems, an early paper titled Scaling to Very Very Large Corpora for Natural Language Disambiguation popularized one somewhat surprising idea. For many NLP tasks, simply providing a large corpus of examples not only improved accuracy, but it also showed that asymptotically, some algorithms yielded more improvement from working on very, very large corpora. Although not explicitly in about NLP, the noteworthy paper The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Data emphasizes this point further while paying homage to the classic treatise The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences. In this episode, Kyle shares a few thoughts along these lines with Linh Da. The discussion winds up with a brief introduction to Zipf's law. When applied to natural language, Zipf's law states that the frequency of any given word in a corpus (regardless of language) will be proportional to its rank in the frequency table.

Password leaks have become an unfortunately common occurrence, with billions of records leaked in the past few years. In this work we develop and economic model to help predict how many user passwords such an attacker will crack after such a breach. Our analysis indicates that currently deployed key stretching mechanisms such as PBKDF2 and BCRYPT provide insufficient protection for user passwords. In particular, our analysis shows that a rational attacker will crack 100% of passwords chosen from a Zipf's law distribution and that Zipf's Law accurately models the distribution of most user passwords. This dismal claim holds even if PBKDF2 is used with 100,000 hash iterations (10 times greater than NIST's minimum recommendation). On a positive note our analysis demonstrates that memory hard functions (MHFs) such as SCRYPT or Argon2i can significantly reduce the damage of an offline attack. Based on our analysis we advocate that password hashing standards should be updated to require the use of memory hard functions for password hashing and disallow the use of non-memory hard functions such as BCRYPT or PBKDF2. About the speaker: Ben Harsha is a Computer Science Ph.D. student advised by Jeremiah Blocki. He currently works on password security and cryptographic hash functions. Before coming to Purdue in 2015 he also worked on distributed sensor networks at Argonne National Lab, as well as neural network optimization and computer science education methods at DePauw University. He has received a Masters from Purdue and a Bachelors from DePauw University.

You may have heard of the 80/20 rule, but what about Zipf's Law? Dallas and Jess talk about how these mathematical principles apply to banking and the lending team. 

Zipf's law is related to the statistics of how word usage is distributed. As it turns out, this is also strikingly reminiscent of how income is distributed, and populations of cities, and bug reports in software, as well as tons of other phenomena that we all interact with every day.

Given by Professor Yuri Manin, Professor Emeritus, Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, Bonn, Germany; Professor Emeritus, Northwestern University, Evanston, USA; Principal Researcher, Steklov Mathematical Institute, Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia. In the 1930s, George Kingsley Zipf discovered an empirical statistical law that later proved to be remarkably universal. Consider a corpus of texts in a given language, make the list of all words that occur in them and the number of occurences. Range the words in the order of diminishing frequencies. Define the Zipf rank of the word as its number in this ordering. Then Zipf's Law says: "Frequency is inversely proportional to the rank". Zipf himself suggested that this law must follow from the principle of 'minimisation of effort' by the brain. However, the nature of this effort and its measure remained mysterious. In my lecture, I will argue that Zipf's effort needed to produce a word (say, name of the number) must be measured by the celebrated Kolmogorov complexity: the length of the shortest Turing program (input) needed to produce this word/name/combinatorial object/etc. as its output. I will describe basic properties of the complexity (some of them rather counterintuitive) and one more situation from the theory of error-correcting codes, where Kolmogorov complexity again plays the role of 'energy in the world of ideas'.

SynTalk thinks about the act and the modality of naming ourselves and the (undifferentiated flux of the) world around us, & constantly wonders whether the world gets created when we name it. The concepts are derived off / from Panini, Frege, Russell, Premchand, Zipf, Searle, Kripke, & Probal Dasgupta, among others. Are variables or pronouns (‘this’ & ‘that’) or verbs born before the names? What cannot be named (what is between green and blue?), and is the process of naming ever complete? How a massive chunk of the world cannot be named. How is the process of naming different for a computer compared to a human being? Is naming or un-naming a neutral process? Why it is essential to name a musical note (why Re, Komal Re, & Ati-Komal Re?). How the cognitive significance of a name tells us something about frequency of occurrence. Is it possible to experience the musical notes without knowing the names of the notes? Does the object or the new born child suggest its own name, and how does baptism (or naming samskara) happen? How arbitrary is naming, and what do conventions, programming aesthetics, gestures, & culture have to do with it? What role does a neither-accepted-nor-rejected legacy play in the process of naming? How names transfer during language contact? How names represent the world from a trans-historical perspective? Can names be equated to a cluster of descriptions or are their modal profiles different? How we can name by not naming (say in taboo, euphemisms, ellipsis). Are names links between two or more face to face ‘pointing’ interactions? How does one discretize a (variably grained) conceptual world? How all Proper Names need not be proper nouns (what is water?). How Named Entity Recognition (NER) is central to the process of machine translation or transliteration, & how does one (generally speaking) shift from ‘low gaze’ to ‘high gaze’ to interpret the world? How names are not nouns but noun-phrases? Does sign language need to have names? Are names independent of language? Can you guess someone’s name by looking at her? The links between names, horses, feminist movement, caste system, homonymy, & globalization. How short will names get in the future? The SynTalkrs are: Prof. Pushpak Bhattacharyya (computer science & engineering, IITB, Mumbai), Dr. Girish Nath Jha (computational linguistics, JNU, Delhi), & Dr. Avinash Pandey (linguistics, Mumbai University, Mumbai)

On this Thanksgiving Day episode, EnviroPolitics Editor Frank Brill interviews Cindy Zipf, executive director of Clean Ocean Action. Cindy reflects on the battle her group led 20 year ago to stop ocean dumping off the New Jersey coast. She touches on national legislation that her coalition has been pushing to protect one of the nation's remaining un-industrialized ocean areas and details their present-day fight to stop Port Ambrose a liquified natural gas (LNG) facility proposed by Liberty Natural Gas off the coasts of New Jersey and New York. The conversation wraps up with a dicussion of how Clean Ocean Action contributed, in award-winning fashion, to numerous cleanups in shore communities following Superstorm Sandy--and what lies ahead.We think you'll really like this epidsode and you may learn a good deal, too.  Want to help us grow the podcast?

En esta segunda parte de nuestra trilogía sobre la Educación en Chile y el Movimiento Estudiantil invitamos al economista Andrés Zahler (@andres_zahler) para conversar sobre el problema de la desigualdad en Chile. El Índice de GINI y la mala distribución del ingreso en Chile, el crecimiento económico del país, políticas públicas, el Chorreo, la ley de Zipf, Pareto y las power-function, y la diferencia entre el capitalismo pro-mercado vs. el capitalismo pro-empresa… todo al ritmo de Rodrigo & el Cuarteto de Córdoba y Mad Season.
