„I would not be surprised if Musk hopes to displace the USD (to ‘denationalise’ the dollar) and to replace the world’s reserve currency with ‘privatised’ cryptocurrencies, that both Musk and Trump are now invested in. Both are fearsome prospects, but under this administration, entirely plausible.“

La questione del bambino in Merleau-Ponty: letture e sviluppi
Anche se ricche di possibili approfondimenti e aperture, le riflessioni in ambito psicologico e pedagogico che ruotano intorno agli studi sul bambino nell’opera di Maurice Merleau-Ponty trovano in letteratura poco riconoscimento e valorizzazione. Raccolti principalmente nei corsi tenuti al Collège de France tra il 1949 e il 1952, queste indagini impegnano il filosofo e fenomenologo francese in un dialogo con il contesto scientifico dell’epoca. In linea con le riflessioni svolte, tra gli al…

"Tiling with Three Polygons is Undecidable"
Erik D. Demaine; Stefan Langerman 17 Sep 2024
Abstract
We prove that the following problem is co-RE-complete and thus undecidable: given three simple polygons, is there a tiling of the plane where every tile is an isometry of one of the three polygons (either allowing or forbidding reflections)? This result improves on the best previous construction which requires five polygons.
...
It remains open whether tiling …

The question of the child in Merleau-Ponty: readings and developments
The psychological and pedagogical reflections on childhood in the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty have received little recognition and appreciation in the literature, although they offer a variety of possible insights and openings. These studies are mainly collected from courses held at the Collège de France between 1949 and 1952; they place the French philosopher in dialogue with the scientific context of the time. Following the thought of Ferdinand de Saussure, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and Jacque…
