Vorige week zei mijn vriendin tegen me dat ze aan het multitasken was. Ik zei tegen haar dat ik niet geloof in multi-tasking. Mijn inziens is vrijwel alles wat wij doen serieel, oftewel opeenvolgend (Wiki). Naar mijn mening is multitasking een idee-fixe; een “waanidee”. “De term multitasking komt oorspronkelijk uit de computerwereld. Daar zijn meestal meerdere...
Focus vs perspective
Machine learning vs AI
15 Oct, 2024
Intro LO: The Scientific American article below might be a good example why the future of technology is with machine learning rather than with artificial intelligence (AI). This quote from online news source 1440 may help understand: “Researchers found 70,500 previously unknown RNA viruses using an AI model that combines machine learning with protein structure...

Actually, my earlier perception of this series has been very, very wrong. This crime series is excellent despite its main character (ie, Vera). "Vera is a British crime...
The benefit of the doubt
26 Feb, 2024
Everyone understands the meaning of my blog title. Nevertheless, it’s hard to explain the how, what, when, who, and the why. Perhaps, the benefit of the doubt relates to a conflict between consciousness (eg, ratio) and subconscious (eg, emotion). Probably, doubt is settled once a side has “won”. The benefit of the doubt relates to all three domains: Love, Knowledge,...
