Miracles and Black Swans
The BlindspotThe standard modern scientific worldview cannot admit miracles and cannot admit the paranormal.
That’s not the same as saying the scientific worldview disbelieves in miracles or the paranormal (although most modern science fans do).
Nor is it the same as saying that the scientific worldview refutes or disproves miracles or the paranormal.
People get all of these confused, but to state it clearly:

John Searle and Daniel Dennett on Consciousness
Below I am here giving voice to a conversation in articles on the subject of consciousness originally published by the New York Review of Books and in John Searle’s book The Mystery of Consciousness.
I find these hilarious.
Here, Searle’s adversary, well-known and now late “philosopher” Daniel Dennett follows the logical train of verificationist modern science to its logical conclusion: the denial of the subjective—the consciousness itself—the thing, the … ⌘ Read more

** books, the end of winter, video games and javascript **
Since my last update I’ve read a handful of books. Some standout reads include Tales from Earthsea, The Other Wind and The Left Hand of Darkness, all by Ursula K. Le Guin. I’d read them all before, accepted for The Other Wind. I thought I’d read The Other Wind, but hadn’t! Chaos: Making a New Science by James Gleick was also a fun read. I liked it for the rabbit holes it invited me down; I’ve been thinking a lot … ⌘ Read more

It’s been 10 years since the movie adaptation of Big Hero 6 was released and 3 years since the TV spinoff ended.

@New_scientist@feeds.twtxt.net No, Google does not predict this. “Google AI” has been self-promoting like this for decades. Remember when they used to brag that they could predict the onset of flu season weeks before it started? That silently went away because they got it badly wrong many times and people caught on to how bad their “predictions” actually were.
They can’t stop themselves. Anything about AI coming out of big tech companies these days is marketing, not real, and certainly not science.

I used to be a big fan of a service called cocalc, which you could also self host. It was kind of an integrated math, data science, research, writing, and teaching platform.
I hadn’t run it in awhile, and when I checked in with it today I found their web site brags that cocalc is now “extensively integrated with ChatGPT”.
Which means I can’t use it anymore, and frankly anyone doing anything serious shouldn’t use it either. Very disappointing.
