Ep. #185 - Andrew Blum
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Co-host Cymene reminisces this week about being the first intern hired by Wired magazine waaaay back in the day. Then (14:42) we are joined by journalist Andrew Blum (https://www.andrewblum.net)—the celebrated author of Tubes: A Journey to the Center of the Internet—to talk about his new book, The Weather Machine (Ecco/HarperCollins, 2019). We dive deep into it, beginning with our “golden age” of meteorology, and its improved computer simulations. We talk about human presence within massive information infrastructures, his interest in place philosophy, balancing attentions to weather and climate, comparing weather banality vs. weather catastrophe; and, Andrew explains to us the different ways of interpreting the history of weather forecasting. From there we turn to the intersection of war and weather, how Cold War rivalry and internationalism helped shape the weather machine as a global cooperative project, and whether private corporations like Google and IBM will control the future of forecasting. Chemtrails and other weather conspiracies make an appearance, as does the secret Nazi invasion of Canada to build a weather station. We close talking about weather and sympathy and sharing storm stories

The Blum-Hanson Property
No full textThe Blum-Hanson property was identified in the 1960's as a property closely related to that of strong mixing. This property is interesting in the field of ergodic theory. It can be shown that if the orbits of all points have the Blum-Hanson property, then the operator is strongly mixing. The converse is not always true and much research has been devoted to determining when the Blum-Hanson property and the strong mixing property are in fact equivalent. After a brief introduction to ergodic theory, Chapter 2 covers all the background and definitions needed to understand the later chapters. Chapter 3 covers the major positive results to date regarding the Blum-Hanson property. Chapter 4 introduces a new class of operators that are interesting for the results in the final chapter, the Generalised Shift Operators. Results for this new class of operators are then used to analyse a number of existing examples in Chapter 5. Here existing results are extended to cover more spaces and a new counter-example is introduced based on a suggestion by László Zsidó.Functional AnalysisElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

A nonparametric test for serial independence of errors in linear regression
No full textA test for serial independence of regression errors, consistent in the direction of first order alternatives, is proposed. The test statistic is a function of a Hoeffding-Blum-Kiefer-Rosenblatt type of empirical process, based on residuals. The resultant statistic converges, surprisingly, to the same limiting distribution as the corresponding statistic based on true errors
Recall this Book 38: Beth Blum on Self-Help from Carnegie to Today
No full textBeth Blum, Assistant Professor of English at Harvard, is the author of The Self-Help Compulsion (Columbia University Press 2019). Learn how self-help went from its Victorian roots (worship greatness!) to the ingratiating unctuous style prescribed by the other-directed Dale Carnegie (everyone loves the sound of their own name) before arriving at the "neo-stoical" self-help gurus of today, who preach male and female versions of "stop apologizing!" You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll either help yourself or learn how to stop caring
