As someone just getting into music production, I find your videos both helpful and inspiring. It makes no difference to me whether or not they are presented by a fox.

Best advice: look up.
Second best advice: check the UK Rain Radar that the Met Office puts out. weather.metoffice.gov.uk/maps-and-cha...
Make sure to scroll back until it says "observation" at the bottom. That's real data, and it's usually better to check that than the forecast before e.g. a walk.

The content of a library, words on pages, is information.
But the layout, design, the choices of the librarians make it more than that. Maybe call that the paradigm.
Libraries are about human access to information. Compare a database or archive containing the same info: different paradigm.

In Hank's original post, maybe pattern?
Information is *involved* in biology/culture/tech, but I don't think its the actual core of any of them.
Biology is the information we have about life,
culture is the information propagated by life,
technology is an important mechanic in civ 5.

I take your point. I still think you're applying the wrong word to the idea.
"Information" is a well-defined mathematical quantity. But even outside of that framework, I don't think "data+meaning" is contained within "information".
Maybe: paradigm, context, framework, theory, concept.

"Information" might not be the right word, as none of these things are static.

Many physicists agree that the rules don't fit perfectly.
The only reason you think they don't is because you have arrived at a false conception of what physicists think based on exaggerated or misleading reporting.
And to be clear that's not just "current physics". Older models were less complete

They work well enough for everything humans encountered before about 1950.
The missing pieces are things we used that physics to find.
I'd say physics has a bigger problem with armchair scientists and journalists who think they get it when they really, really don't.

First you have to find them. Aside from author interviews, I hardly ever see proper academic citations from news stories.

I guess we're just learning more about their motivations/philosphies. Without context, scientific skepticism and self-serving anti-modernism might look similar.

Sabine is attracting anti-physics-establishment crackpots more and more. Maybe she can set some of them on a better path but I'm more worried that her incentives will be corrupted.

Or maybe both those vibes are old and familiar for the current target audience. In due course, there will be mourners for the simpler days of IG-tronica.

It's because they are feature films rather than tv series right? Which would have made perfect sense 10 years ago. A sign of how the relative impact of cinema and tv has changed.
