I have a new moka pot, brought back from holiday. It is full induction of course, quite weighty. The borosilicate glass is a nice touch. I can monitor progress without having the lid up. Also, this is a proper size, making a decent mug of coffee.

Long. Fascinating. Buckle up and read.

Physicist says: “Putnam really should be regarded as one of the great philosophers of the 20th century. Yet he’s completely unknown.“

Journalist says: “That word—unknown—it came to haunt me as I spent the next 12 years trying to find out why.“

Philosopher says: “He was a genius. Every talk with him had this level of significance that was just orders of magnitude higher up than a normal conversation with a normal human being.”

“Turing had worked out an abstract, universal model of the very possibility of computation, Putnam worked out an abstract, universal model of the very possibility of mind. It was a model, he wrote, that ‘presents a basic overall pattern [or] character of thought in causal terms for the first time.’”

Transfer —

Returning to the scene of Dewey's “Sign of Rain” example, let's continue examining how the transfer of knowledge through the analogy of experience works in that case.

By way of a recap, we began by considering a fragment K_pres of the reasoner's knowledge base which is logically equivalent to a conjunction of two rules.

• K_pres ⇔ (B ⇒ A) ∧ (B ⇒ D).

K_pres may be thought of as a piece of knowledge or item of information allowing for the possibility of certain conditions, expressed in the form of a logical constraint on the present universe of discourse.

Next we found it convenient to express all logical statements in terms of their models, that is, in terms of the primitive circumstances or elements of experience over which they hold true.

• Let E_past be the chosen set of experiences, or the circumstances in mind under “past experience”.

• Let E_poss be the collective set of experiences, or the prospective total of possible circumstances.

• Let E_pres be the current experience, or the circumstances immediately present to the reasoner.

If we think of the knowledge base K_pres as referring to the “regime of experience” over which it is valid, then the sets of models involved in the analogy may be ordered according to the relationships of set inclusion or logical implication existing among them.

Figure 4 shows the subsumption relations involved in the analogy of experience.

My long-in-preparation Cambridge Element ‘Probability and Inductive Logic’ is now available.

https://doi.org/10.1017/9781009210171

Abstract: Reasoning from inconclusive evidence, or 'induction', is central to science and any applications we make of it. For that reason alone it demands the attention of philosophers of science. This element explores the prospects of using probability theory to provide an inductive logic: a framework for representing evidential support. Constraints on the ideal evaluation of hypotheses suggest that the overall standing of a hypothesis is represented by its probability in light of the total evidence, and incremental support, or confirmation, indicated by the hypothesis having a higher probability conditional on some evidence than it does unconditionally. This proposal is shown to have the capacity to reconstruct many canons of the scientific method and inductive inference. Along the way, significant objections are discussed, such as the challenge of inductive scepticism, and the objection that the probabilistic approach makes evidential support arbitrary.

Transfer —

What exactly gives the acquisition of a knowledge base its distinctively inductive character? It is evidently the “analogy of experience” involved in applying what we've learned in the past to what confronts us in the present.

Whenever we find ourselves approaching a problem with the thought, “If past experience is any guide …” we can be sure the analogy of experience has come into play. We are seeking to find analogies between past experience as a totality and present experience as a point of application.

From a statistical point of view what we mean is this — “If past experience is a fair sample of possible experience then knowledge gained from past experience may usefully apply to present experience”. It is that mechanism which allows a knowledge base to be carried across gulfs of experience which remain indifferent to the effective contents of its rules.

Next we'll examine how the transfer of knowledge through the analogy of experience works out in the case of Dewey's “Sign of Rain” example.

Learning —

Rules in a knowledge base, as far as their effective content goes, can be obtained by any mode of inference. For example, consider a proposition of the following form.

• B ⇒ A, Just Before it rains, the Air is cool.

Such a proposition is usually induced from a consideration of many past events. The inductive inference may be observed to fit the following pattern.

• Case : C ⇒ B, In Certain events, it is just Before it rains.
• Fact : C ⇒ A, In Certain events, the Air is cool.
────────────────────────────────────
• Rule : B ⇒ A, Just Before it rains, the Air is cool.

However, the same proposition could also be abduced as an explanation of a singular occurrence or deduced as a conclusion of a prior theory.

Inquiry and Induction —

To understand the bearing of inductive reasoning on the closing phases of inquiry there are a couple of observations we should make.

• Smaller inquiries are typically woven into larger inquiries, whether the whole pattern of inquiry is carried on by a single agent or by a complex community.

• There are several ways particular instances of inquiry are related to ongoing inquiries at larger scales. Three modes of interaction between component inquiries and compound inquiries may be described under the headings of Learning, Transfer, and Testing of Rules.

Inquiry and Inference —

If we follow Dewey's “Sign of Rain” story far enough to consider the import of thought for action, we realize the subsequent conduct of the interpreter, progressing up through the natural conclusion of the episode — the quickening steps, the seeking of shelter in time to escape the rain — all those acts amount to a series of further interpretants for the initially recognized signs of rain and the first impressions of the actual case. Just as critical reflection develops the positive and negative signs which gather about an idea, pragmatic interpretation explores the consequential and contrasting actions which give effective and testable meaning to a person's belief in it.

Interpretation and Inquiry —

To illustrate the role of sign relations in inquiry we begin with Dewey's elegant and simple example of reflective thinking in everyday life.

❝A man is walking on a warm day. The sky was clear the last time he observed it; but presently he notes, while occupied primarily with other things, that the air is cooler. It occurs to him that it is probably going to rain; looking up, he sees a dark cloud between him and the sun, and he then quickens his steps. What, if anything, in such a situation can be called thought? Neither the act of walking nor the noting of the cold is a thought. Walking is one direction of activity; looking and noting are other modes of activity. The likelihood that it will rain is, however, something suggested. The pedestrian feels the cold; he thinks of clouds and a coming shower.❞ (John Dewey, How We Think, 6–7).

Why do we say that induction is stronger than deduction?

It depends, because induction is stronger than deduction in several ways.

Formal strength lies in part in what sort of problem the method can work on. Induction can work on stuff that deduction can't even begin to work on.

Strength of output lies in how well the outcomes tolerate contradiction. An inductive conclusion can withstand quite a bit of contradiction. Deductive outcomes cannot withstand any contradiction at all.

These two are related, though.
An inductive outcome can be formed from input that contains contradictions. And when the outcome encounters a contradiction, this is simply added to the Body of Evidence, with all the other contradictions that in the end didn't manage to prevent conclusion.

Of course, given enough such evidence, a better outcome or set of outcomes can be produced.

But with deduction, if you hit even a single contradiction, your entire effort was wasted - the conclusion is now worthless.

This strength of induction was predicted already by Hume, who described what we now call inductive reasoning as:

• infallible in its operations
• discovers itself at the first appearance of life and thought
• independent of all the laboured deductions of the understanding

This cheaply constructed prototype blew up after 5 shots or so. #science #highvoltage #electricity #NineLives

Fixed a broken #Miele #induction #hob. This is the KMDA 7774, manufactured year 2018. A nice cooktop with integrated extraction fan and flexible cooking zones. The glass panel #touch #sensors /#buttons started to fail, with problem to set levels, to turn the hob on and ghost turn-off while cooking. After disassembly, soldered all contact surfaces of the conductive rubber buttons residing under the glass, snapped-in on the #PCB. Had to snap each button off, and they were many! SMD solder iron too small for proper heat, but a regular sized WTB tip on the Weller station at some 400 deg C worked fine, using a desoldering pump to remove superfluous solder. Each pad is a via and even if looking pristine (no fog on the PCB, no visible oxidizing) it was enough resistance to become faulty. Believe this to be #conductive sensors and that the via size and/or thickness was wrongly designed. Might even be an issue with the design recommendations of the component supplier and not Miele. #DIY #repair #electronics #solder

Since March, stovetop cooking hasn’t sounded the same in our kitchen. Instead of the click-click-click-poof of a gas burner igniting, turning recipe ingredients in a pan or pot into a meal begins with the beeps of buttons on a touch-sensitive display and then the pulsing buzz of an induction coil.

Replacing the gas range that had come with our house when we moved in 20 years ago, and which had become increasingly iffy about having two of its burners light, was an unquestionable part of finally getting the kitchen redone. Getting an induction range did not seem as obvious until some contemplation about how we’d want to end the need to burn fossil fuels in the house every day1 and learning more about the health risks of gas burners in unventilated kitchens.

Five months into cooking with the Bosch induction range2 we picked out, several impressions stand out:

• The cooking surfaces really do heat up quickly–I almost botched one of the first pots of rice I cooked when I didn’t realize the water was already boiling. If you cook pasta with any regularity, an induction cooktop is your new friend.
• Induction surfaces are also responsive in a way no gas burner is, almost immediately cooling down when you turn down or turn off the heat. They also let you keep a pan on minimal heat without worrying about gas flames blowing out.
• That buzzing noise can sound weird, especially when it’s louder with particular pieces of cookware for reasons that I have yet to figure out. On the other hand, I’ve decided that I like the beeps the touch controls make as I tap them; the experience feels a little like cooking on the bridge of NCC-1701-D.
• Not every pot or pan heats up as quickly. The All-Clad stainless-steel cookware we got with our wedding works great, as does the Wirecutter-endorsed nonstick pan we bought to replace one that wasn’t induction compatible (determined by a magnet not sticking to its underside). But the griddle pan we bought to retire another induction-incompatible model takes longer to heat up than I’d like.
• Because the cooktop is so smooth, a pot or pan will spin around or slide away from the induction element very easily. That unbroken surface, however, is also super-easy to clean.
• As you might expect with any stove swap, it takes some time to adjust muscle memory for one range’s output for another’s, which can be a issue for particularly temperature-sensitive recipes.
• The embedded electronics in an induction cooktop may make fussy moments possible, and I may have seen one happen after our kid left the oven on for too long after baking cookies. That apparently heated up the cooktop enough for it to balk at turning on a cooktop coil for a few minutes.

After those five months, I not only don’t miss cooking with gas but have been reminded of what I don’t miss when I’ve used other people’s gas stovetops where some burners don’t light up reliably. But it’s also easy for me to say that when we still have a gas grill on the back patio for the not-everyday experience of cooking with fire.

1. Replacing the 2018-vintage gas furnace and water heater with more efficient heat-pump units will be a task for another year. ↩︎
2. Yes, that is an expensive piece of hardware. And well worth it considering all of the time I spend in the kitchen! ↩︎

A quotation from Montaigne:

«
No desire is more natural than the desire for #knowledge. We assay all the means that can lead us to it. When #reason fails us we make use of #experience. Experience is a weaker and less dignified means: but #truth is so great a matter that we must not disdain any method that leads us to it.

I got to use my cheap-O ZVS driver induction heater today. Been making some crackle tubes for an artist named Daniel Tepper. The crackle tubes are fun, real lighting in a bottle. I heat them with a weak, gentle transformer and use the induction heater help heat the electrodes (Activating a getter and helpful alkali coating).

I think I will make some more of this classic special effect
