10 Reasons #Hinduism Makes No Sense

Hinduism is one of the oldest #religions in the world, but when we examine its #beliefs, stories, and practices through #reason, many #contradictions and #logical problems appear.

Guest article by #Heinz #Luediger: “The #illusion of #time or where #Kant was wrong”

Here he spans a #logical #thread through the #history of #philosophy, which is based on the #metaphysical #concepts of #being and #becoming and leads to the steep #thesis that “time” is identical with #logic. But Mr. Luediger should rather explain this himself in his #essay published here.

Guest post by #Yervant #Kulbashian: "The Green Swan - Part 3: A Thin #Layer of #Symbols"

This 3rd part of his overall essay deals mainly with the problem of how #language-guided, #human #thinking "can be developed from this implicit stage to a #formal #logic". Here you must first "go through the #stages of #conceptualization or #abstraction" in order to develop from this in a further step "the terms for #logical #concepts" for #AI #machines.

Daniel Dennett Presents Seven Tools For Critical Thinking via Open Culture

Love him or hate him, many of our readers may know enough about Daniel C. Dennett to have formed some opinion of his work. While Dennett can be a soft-spoken, jovial presence, he doesn’t suffer fuzzy thinking or banal platitudes— what he calls “deepities”—lightly. Whether he’s explaining (or explaining away) consciousness, religion, or free will, Dennett’s materialist philosophy leaves little-to-no room for mystical speculation or sentimentalism. So it should come as no surprise that his latest book, Intuition Pumps And Other Tools for Thinking, is a hard-headed how-to for cutting through common cognitive biases and logical fallacies.

For the most part, today's Democratic Party politicians are #fact based people. They are #logical, try to be #informed, and consider #scientific #consensus and #evidence in their #decision making process.

On the other side, we mostly have
#conspiracynuts believing #pseudoscience. These #Republican #ignorant #bookbanning #fools insist on controlling other people's lives. #GOP actions were directly responsible for needless deaths and illness of Americans in response to #COVID.

After a brutal 2023, the vibes around #self-#driving #cars are improving.

#Cruise, the industry leader whose vehicle was involved in a #horrific San Francisco #crash last fall, has #rebooted under new management,

while rival #Waymo is #expanding to serve broader swaths of the Bay Area and Los Angeles
and #Tesla is promising a new #robotaxi service.

Although Americans say they remain #wary of autonomous driving,
boosters insist there is nothing to fear.
In fact, they foresee roads full of self-driving cars that are both #safer and #cleaner than the status quo,
a tantalizing prospect in a country where transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions and residents are several times more likely to die in a crash than those living in other rich nations.

Enticing though they are, such arguments conceal a #logical #flaw.
As a classic 19th-century theory known as a #Jevons #paradox explains,
even if autonomous vehicles eventually work perfectly
— an enormous “if”
— they are🆘 likely to increase total #emissions and crash #deaths,
simply because ⭐️people will use them so much.

Tangential to the super popular LLM-related discussion w/Turtle Island social the other day?

Me standing up to defend the human rights of other women on the globe implies the one thing I definitely am NOT is "antisemitic".

Disagree? OK --

🔲 Go get a Technical Writer job w/a Fortune 500 co that has more than 50 years of Industry experience solving very large complex problems, technically;

🔲 Next, achieve 4 promotions in 3.5 years to land yourself into one of the toughest groups to get into at this very old, very well-respected employer. Much, much harder to break into than MIT, Harvard or Stanford.

🔲 Now get oodles of praise and recommends helping a literal Machine Language team of humans update and integrate their compiler into a C++-based math library while co-authoring papers on ML and designing the search-enabled UI

✔️ Got it? Okay, NOW we are on the same level when it comes to talking LLM-level context and semantics.

🔲 Need an extra BONUS CHALLENGE? Do this as a woman with indigenous ancestry.

Am not backing down on that #Fediblock recommend posted on #SDF for anyone who throws that trollish and untranslatable word in reaction to being offended by a #logical smart woman!

Every debate that involves trolls I've had w/folks on the Fediverse has been about specific words that CANNOT be translated because they are not precise.

Someone being technically precise offending you is YOUR problem, not theirs.

The #AcidPour malware is a new variant of #AcidRain targeting #Linux x86 systems in #Ukraine, as discovered by #SentinelLabs researchers. Unlike its predecessor designed for #MIPS architecture, AcidPour specifically targets x86 Linux distributions such as #Ubuntu, #Mint, #Fedora, and #Debian. It introduces new capabilities, including references to Unsorted Block Images (#UBI) and #Logical Volume Manager (LVM) virtual block devices, suggesting an expansion in the range of potential targets. AcidPour's distinct codebase and wiping logic, particularly for devices like LVMs, indicate an evolved threat strategy. Despite the evolving nature of malware threats, SentinelLabs has alerted stakeholders in Ukraine, though the full scope and specific targets of AcidPour remain undisclosed. Users and organizations are advised to enhance cybersecurity measures and educate on phishing and malware threats.

A #conspiracy #theorist is a special kind of person. It's someone with an overdose of #paranoid traits. The type of person who threw a boomerang six years ago that didn't come back and keeps looking over his shoulder since that day.

The conspiracy theorist has no use for simple, #logical #explanations. There must be more to it, it must be complicated. It must be so complicated and #illogical that no one can make sense of it, except the conspiracy theorist himself.

What are your favourite projects investigating if / how different large #foundational #models do #logical #reasoning ? Or how their "next token prediction mechanism" emulates reasoning.

Still trying to make my mind up whether the internal dynamics of these models are worth investigating.

Very curious to hear people's thoughts!
