  26. Kurt Gödel was born OTD in 1906. “If a 'religion' is defined to be a system of ideas that contains unprovable statements, then Gödel taught us that mathematics is not only a religion, it is the only religion that can prove itself to be one.” John Barrow, The Artful Universe 🧪🦫🦋 #HistSTM #PhilSci

  30. Stephen Toulmin was born OTD 1922. If we get to Heaven and are offered eternal residence with Erasmus, Rabelais, Shakespeare, and Montaigne, few of us will ask instead to join Descartes, Newton, and “the exact-thinking but darker-souled geniuses of the 17th century.” #Philsci #HistSTM 🦋🦫 #Booksky

  31. RE: flipboard.com/@wsj/business-b1

    “Instead of paying humans to join focus groups and complete surveys, #Auru uses thousands of #AI agents, or bots, to simulate human responses. It feeds #demographic and psychographic information into its models to create human profiles that match clients’ needs, and the results those bots spit out are being used for product #development, #pricing, identifying new customers and political #polling.”

    Researchers have warned about the inaccuracies of treating #LLMs as human proxies (doi.org/10.1007/s10462-025-112), but I wouldn’t be surprised #languageModels beat #qualitative interpretation of non-representative focus groups.

    Still looking for weekend reading material? Why not dive into the wonderful philosophy of Bill Wimsatt?

    Reading this will change the way you see the world, and your ideas of where that knowledge of reality comes from.

  34. RE: mastodon.online/@tomstafford/1

    As I explain in my post about the #BiasFallacy (byrdnick.com/archives/11072/th), Tom shows how #bias can be a good thing.

    My example of good bias was ignoring irrelevant variables in #science to avoid spurious or misleading correlations.

    Tom’s examples are probable better: fire alarms and #signalDetectionTheory. Worth a read!
