»I've owned a copy of Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations for years, but I read it the way Everett Hughes told me to read the sociological writings of Georg Simmel: not to get a full understanding of what the author might have meant, but rather as a way of generating ideas I could use in my own research and thinking.« (Howard Becker, »Tricks of the Trade«)

New logic flow to make guesswork faster:
4 iterations, down from 6 but boy I'm getting lost in implementation:
---
Simplified example flow:
Start at true center
Set up array on winning side
n₀+1 vs n₁₈-1 ➝ n₉ high or low ➝ immediately guess n₆+1 or n₁₂-1---
n₀+1 vs n₁₈-1
n₀+1 too big & n₁₈-1 too small?
Then check n₉
if closer to n₀ Immeditely guess n₆+1
if closer to n₁₈ Immeditely guess n₁₂-1Continued below...

Heuristic (Ecogeographic rules 🌍)
A heuristic or heuristic technique is any approach to problem solving that employs a pragmatic method that is not fully optimized, perfected, or rationalized, but is nevertheless "good enough" as an approximation or attribute substitution. Where finding an optimal solution is impossible or impractical, heuristic methods can be used to s...

The Benefits and Dangers of #DecisionMmaking by Algorithm https://conversableeconomist.com/2025/03/27/the-benefits-and-dangers-of-decision-making-by-algorithm/
"Even if the #algorithm does a better job than most humans, some humans will do better than the algorithm.
The gain from using algorithms in many contexts is relatively small in percentage terms, although a small percentage gain applied to a large number of people can certainly be meaningful.
People are more unforgiving of algorithmic error than of human error.
Greater complexity will limit the benefit of an algorithm.
Algorithms are not good, and perhaps cannot be good, at what are sometimes called path-dependent events"

My most used #heuristic in decision-making is: make the damn decision reversible. (Or changeable In the case of #coding or software design).
So Occam's razor of software development or #engineering is to choose the more changeable one. -

Anyway, the principle is a #heuristic that suggests one answer "yea, probably" to sincere questions like:
- If no pests or weeds are observed among an otherwise immaculate crop yield, are farmers over-utilizing pesticides and other agrochemicals?
- If the government is able to bankroll every project within a certain department, is that department over-funded?
- If a society has a 0% divorce rate, is the social incentive to stay married so strong that many people remain in very bad marriages? -

“The word “#heuristic” was invoked all through the summer of 1956. Instead of trying to analyze the brain to develop #machine_intelligence, some participants focused on the operational steps needed to solve a given problem.”

Marijn's episode is out! He brought up his heuristic "Do NOT rewrite from scratch if it is in production". We took a few loops, from code and software architecture, to business strategy and execution!

How is your Sunday? ☀️ This week we will have Marijn as our guest. Do you want to bet on the heuristic?

Don't know about the “elementary” part but I think I first read about that particular #Heuristic in #Polya's #HowToSolveIt, where he remarks it working especially well in #Proofs by #MathematicalInduction, where it acts to #PrimeThePump of the #InductiveProof.
#Synchronicity being what it is, this came up just the other day in a more general setting ☟

Hey #fediverse, could you help me out here?
I'm working on some experiments based on two assumptions:
- Some information has decaying value;
- The amount of information that has decaying value is increasing rapidly.It's somewhat early stage, so before I go down a rabbit hole, does anyone know of any prior art, or any articles or algos on a related topic?
Thanks!
