WITS: Steerlet wavelets

-

Let us welcome the steerlets, a new breed we have little information about so far, except it is featured at SPIE Wavelet XIII: Papadakis, Azencott and Bodmann at Univ. Houston: Three dimensional steerlets: a novel tool for extractiong textural and structural features in 3D images, SPIE Wavelet XIII, August 2009. Those guys from Texas do love longhorns. And don't forget the WAIP 2010 (Wavelet Applications in Industrial Processing) conference CfP deadline on June 22nd.

Confines' songs, Chants des confins : fin de partie, is now on YouTube . All but one Chants des confins ( Confines' songs) is  one music for each (relaive) day of confinement due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemia. And two lines . Two rhymes. Rarely more. I listened to each song five times in a row before posting it.  So far:  Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Pink Floyd, Télépopmusik,, Henry Purcell (by Sarah Connolly  and Marianne Beate Kielland), Villagers of Ioannina City, Philip Glass with Lavinia Meijer (harp), Dave Brubeck & Paul Desmond (a kind of fake on Take five) (and the Stranglers), Mano Negra, Loney Dear, Sarah Vaughan, Deep Purple (and Navarone), The Kyteman Orchestra (Colin Benders), Dominique A (et Alain Bashung), VALD, George Frideric Handel (sung by  Nathalie Stutzmann & Philippe Jaroussky) , Kings of convenience and Feist, Les Têtes Raides, Yom (Guillaume Humery) and the wonder rabbis, Sting (interpreted by Pat Metheny, Nils Landgren, Esbjörn Svensso

Hurricane Turtle: AA (the Word is a World)

Back the Hurricane Turtle Ulule project!   From ancient traditions, the hurricane turtle was the world. Since recent outcrops, Hurricane Turtle is the word. A band with no less than  Pierre Cherbero (Chant / Orgue), Seb "iep" Arruti (Trombone), Sylvain Téjérizo (Saxophone), Julien Dubois (Basse), Olivier Léani (Batterie). No more.  They just released AA . A beginning. A gambling song : Lyrics are here. They are: #Band: Hurricane Turtle (band) #Song: AA I used to play cards as a loving game Cupidon strikes me right on time In front of me the victime is a lame He’s gonna fall on the magician that I am I’m a gambler not a lover  My rocket looks like the better My deck is full of red hearts But you know, he won’t see coming that part AA got bullets in my hands now All-In, what you gonna do now AA got bullets with my aces now I’m All-In cut it out (Solo Saxophone) Did I dream what I just saw there The mo-fo

Ternary, trinary or trit logic: of bricks and trytes (and bytes and bits)

-

http://www.mortati.com/glusker/fowler/     The ternary calculating machine of Thomas Fowler [In a word: e (2.71828...) would be the most efficient base for storing digital information. Not two, i.e. the bits. Storing on three-unit devices (trits) would be the best practical information base. Ternary arithmetic rulez ] This short post is inspired by Igor Carron 's The 2-bit Aggie weather station . Igor proposes us the three-valued (bbl) system for assessing weather conditions, with a brick put outside: brown, bright, left: If brick is dark brown, it's a sure sign that it's raining outside.  If the brick is bright, then it's sunny outside.  If the brick is not there anymore, it's a tornado. The weird ternary calculing machine machine on the right is not a brick (althhough the color is similar), and is better described in The ternary calculating machine of Thomas Fowler , IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, 2005, by Glusker, Hogan, and Vass.
