We want to see our Posts and Reposts together in one stream — the way they used to be — but, alas, we may be forced to adjust the manner in which our X feed interacts with our desktop web page. For us, reposting and original posting perform different editorial functions. For a curator, standards organization, university or news-oriented account, the sequence can itself carry meaning. Separating the pieces can destroy that sequence.
Stay tuned.

AI data centres demand power. Human brains are much more efficient than GPUs, using neurons to communicate information. A mistake in a #semiconductor lab led to researchers developing a process that can make a regular transistor behave like a neuron.https://t.co/LQ6hzY8ZX3 pic.twitter.com/BNZO5xsOBf

Avinu Malkeinu (“Our Father, Our King”) is a Jewish prayer associated especially with Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and the Days of Awe. Its short petitions address God alternately as compassionate parent and sovereign judge, asking for forgiveness, mercy, healing, sustenance and a good year. Repeated congregational responses give the prayer unusual musical power. Many settings exist, but Max Janowski’s twentieth-century arrangement has become particularly familiar to American Jewish congregations and concert choirs.
Abstract. Insights into the history and future of western civilization are found by applying information theory to the acoustical communication channel (ACC) of its worship spaces. Properties of the ACC have both influenced and reflected the choice of message coding (e.g., speech or music) at various times. Speech coding is efficient for acoustically dry ACCs, but hopeless for highly time-dispersive ACCs. Music coding is appropriate for time dispersive (reverberant) ACCs. The ACCs of synagogues, early Christian house churches, and many Protestant churches are relatively acoustically “dry” and thus well suited to spoken liturgies.
The spoken liturgy, dominant in synagogues, was carried over to early Christian churches, but became unworkable in Constantinian cathedrals and was largely replaced with a musical liturgy. After a millennium, the cathedral acoustic was altered to suit the doctrinal needs of reformation churches with its renewed emphasis on the spoken word. Worship forms continue to change, and the changes are reflected in the properties of the ACC. The pulpits of electronic churches may be evolving into radio and television performance spaces and naves into worshipers’ living rooms.

An English paraphrase of the Canticle of the Sun (or Laudes Creaturarum), written by St. Francis of Assisi in 1224–1225: Francis composed the poem in Umbrian Italian while recovering from illness, praising God through all creation. William H. Draper translated and adapted it into English in 1919 for a children’s Whitsuntide festival in Leeds, England. The 1623 tune Lasst uns erfreuen was paired with it, giving the hymn its majestic, joyful character.
It is widely sung in Protestant and Catholic churches, especially at Easter, harvest festivals, and creation-themed services. It celebrates God’s glory reflected in nature and calls all creatures—sun, moon, wind, water, fire, and humanity—to praise their Creator.
