A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

"Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half sorrow" When I heard of it, I thought that sorrow follows the conservation law, thus it's more materialistic, whereas joy doesn't, thus it's more abstract.

Yes. Then the forecast becomes a fixed point: the one that is still true after people read it. Simon, Grunberg and Modigliani showed in 1954 that it can exist. My doubt is practical. People learn, so the reaction changes and the fixed point moves. Have you found a way around that?

It bugs me that we're normalising the idea that there's something wrong with long documents, or that they're not "worth" our time. There is huge value in careful thought, in detail and nuance, in exploration, and in the experiential journey that goes alongside that.

"At some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough. You don't need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough. No record of it needs to be kept and you don't need someone to share it with or tell it to. When that happens — that letting go — you let go because you can."

"To write is not just to transcribe the mind’s ideas; it’s a form of transformation, turning a nascent, half-built thought into something sturdier, tougher, sharper. EM Forster wrote: “How do I know what I think until I see what I say?”"

I thought I'd repost this piece quoting the first sentence. Then I thought, no, the first paragraph. No, the first three. And I went on doing that until the final word. www.theguardian.com/books/ng-int...

After a couple of weeks of heatwave in Ann Arbor, now it feels like a Finnish summer. Several years ago, when I visited Aalto University in summer, I had to buy a "summer jacket".

Why does it take so long to get the volume and pages for the accepted paper in Scientific Reports? I need such information for the process in my university.

All of sudden, I wondered why the number of neighbors of a node in networks is called a "degree". In the original paper by Erdos and Renyi (1960), I found a sentence: "The number of edges starting from the point P of a graph G will be called the degree of P in G." But without any explanation.

I've never imagined that I'd worry about the air quality in Ann Arbor, until yesterday. Today it's getting worse and worse.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Wildfire smoke can be seen via satellites from the Upper Midwest and Canada, across the Great Lakes and down to New York City. A heat dome is pushing temperatures close to 100 degrees across much of eastern Canada and has prompted alerts about poor air quality. nyti.ms/3RHmZnk

Oh, I've used "quite some" quite often in my everyday English conversation and didn't know it was not a standard English.

Philip Ball@philipcball.bsky.social

I'd go further: if we native English speakers expect English to be the lingua franca (ha!) of most of the world, everyone who uses it gets to influence how it evolves. Phrases that aren't standard English, like "quite some" and "allows to", are then no longer really "wrong" at all.

Chapter 15: @kristinalerman.bsky.social on the Strong Friendship Paradox. Showing how the structure of social networks systematically biases our perceptions of reality. When our friends are not representative of the population, rare behaviours and opinions can appear surprisingly common.

Chapter 14: @bolozna.bsky.social on multilayer social networks. A great introduction to one of the most important recent developments in network science: moving beyond single-layer graphs to represent the multiple social contexts and relationships that shape human behavior. Social life is layered!

Since I got to know the MSE, I've wondered the mathematical relation between MSE and autocorrelation function (ACF) because both measure long-term temporal correlations. Of course they're different; the MSE is based on the entropy, while the ACF is not. I guess there must be some work on this topic.

I learned the Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) in the lecture on econophysics at KAIST in 2006, leading to a JKPS paper. And I coauthored a PLOS ONE paper in 2021 (doi.org/10.1371/jour...) where we applied the multiscale entropy (MSE) method to the temporal network time series data.

doi.orgImpact of environmental changes on the dynamics of temporal networksDynamics of complex social systems has often been described in the framework of temporal networks, where links are considered to exist only at the moment of interaction between nodes. Such interaction...

Complexity in time series were measured using various methods. Interestingly many of them show power-law behaviors. It's been known that the power-law exponents of power spectral density, autocorrelation function and Hurst exponent (which is itself a power-law exponent) are all connected.
