A quotation from Douglas Adams

You will need to know the difference between Friday and a fried egg. It’s quite a simple difference, but an important one. Friday comes at the end of the week, whereas a fried egg comes out of a chicken. Like most things, of course, it isn’t quite that simple. The fried egg isn’t properly a fried egg until it’s been put in a frying pan and fried. This is something you wouldn’t do to a Friday, of course, though you might do it on a Friday. You can also fry eggs on a Thursday, if you like, or on a cooker. It’s all rather complicated, but it makes a kind of sense if you think about it for a while.

Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter
The Salmon of Doubt, Part 1 “Life,” “For Children Only” (2002) [ed. Peter Guzzardi]

It is not the first industry that has pursued profit with reckless disregard for people, planet, society, and #consequences in general. In the current regulatory climate (or lack thereof) in the country where I live and work, it could earn the #dubious #distinction of being the last industry to do so.

I'm working on a #webapp and I'm being #creative on the #approach. It might be considered #overcomplicated (because it is), but I'm just trying something out. It's entirely possible this approach won't work #longterm. I see it as there is #onewaytofindout. I don't recommend this approach. Just sharing what I'm trying/#investigating.

I find that #modulefederation and #microfrontends to generally be #discouraged when I see posts, but I think it works for me in my #approach. I'm #optimistic about the approach and the #benefits and so I wanted to #share details.

When I serve the #federatedmodules, I can also host the #storybook statics so I think this could be a good way to #document the modules in #isolation.

This way, I can create #microfrontends that consume these #modules. I can then #share the #functionality between #apps.

The #functionality also works when I create an #Android build with #Tauri. This could also lead to it being easier to create #newapps that could use the #modules created.

I'm sure there will be some distinct #test/#maintenance #overhead, but depending on how it's #architected I think it could work and make it easier to #improve on the current #implementation.

Culture is a huge topic in companies. And wrongly so, to some extent! Experts like Ed Schein created a big mess with their writings about corporate culture, as they stubbornly confused #culture and #system. But by respecting the crucial #distinction between systems and culture, organizational transformation starts making sense again. In short: Forget about working the culture (or people). Stick with #WorkingTheSystem. Together.

#Distinction 🏆 | L'@AcadSciences a élu de nouveaux membres pour l'année 2025, dont deux issus du champ de recherche de CNRS Ingénierie : Florence Gazeau et Mickaël Tanter 👏

If scientists want to determine whether an LLM has formed an accurate model of the world, measuring the accuracy of its predictions doesn’t go far enough.
For example, a transformer can predict valid moves in a game of Connect 4 nearly every time without understanding any of the rules.
So, the team developed two new metrics that can test a transformer’s world model. The researchers focused their evaluations on a class of problems called deterministic finite automations, or DFAs. 
A DFA is a problem with a sequence of states, like intersections one must traverse to reach a destination, and a concrete way of describing the rules one must follow along the way.
They chose two problems to formulate as DFAs:
navigating on streets in New York City
and playing the board game Othello.

“We needed test beds where we know what the world model is. Now, we can rigorously think about what it means to recover that world model,” Vafa explains.
The first metric they developed, called #sequence #distinction, says a model has formed a coherent world model it if sees two different states, like two different Othello boards, and recognizes how they are different. Sequences, that is, ordered lists of data points, are what transformers use to generate outputs.
The second metric, called #sequence #compression, says a transformer with a coherent world model should know that two identical states, like two identical Othello boards, have the same sequence of possible next steps.
They used these metrics to test two common classes of transformers, one which is trained on data generated from randomly produced sequences and the other on data generated by following strategies.
Surprisingly, the researchers found that transformers which made choices randomly formed more accurate world models, perhaps because they saw a wider variety of potential next steps during training. 
“In Othello, if you see two random computers playing rather than championship players, in theory you’d see the full set of possible moves, even the bad moves championship players wouldn’t make,” Vafa explains.
Even though the transformers generated accurate directions and valid Othello moves in nearly every instance,
the two metrics revealed that only one generated a coherent world model for Othello moves,
and none performed well at forming coherent world models in the wayfinding example.

How do you show your social value in a way that’s instantly recognizable?

"The meaning ascribed to race in the nightclub setting was related to perceptions of safety. The bouncers (many of whom are Black or Latino) claimed that letting Black or Latino Americans in might jeopardize safety at the club. However, Rivera says she saw fights between white customers frequently."

One of the distinctions central to Immanuel Kant's work is that between analytic and synthetic. Here's a core concept video looking at his discussion of that early on in the Prolegomena To Any Future Metaphysics

Hi, SocialWorlds. Your post ended in my “Home” timeline probably because of the #information(en) hashtag, and even if I don’t speak German it looked interesting so I “had” to translate it and respond. Hope you don’t mind :-)

#Distinction of #undecidable #questions in #known and #unknown #conditions of their #relevance.
#hypothetical / #factual
#Factually meant as a #question for #data as not yet known #information
#known / #unknown
In the case of #functional systems such as #economy, #religion, #art and #politics, only #facts are missing. How they are to be #understood is #clear.
In the case of #meaning and #ecology, #decisive #factors are #unclear.

In my opinion #data=#facts. You can’t argue about facts the same way you can’t really argue about the “hard data” (numbers, graphs) in front of you.

What you can argue about is the interpretation of that data, or the different private #information every one of us will extract from the same set of data (facts) in front of us. What information is derived from the data depends on the different #knowledge(s) each one of us has about the world.

Here's the next in the set on core concept videos on Plutarch's On Controlling Anger. He counsels us not to confuse anger with "righteous indignation" (misoponeria)
