  Turing's Vision - How AI is...

  Chat-GPT, humanoid robotics, and self-driving cars are just a few of the things that are changing our everyday lives. The rapid advancement of AI is eroding one by one all the cornerstones considered unique of human nature: language, consciousness, creativity, and moral responsibility. The book argues that the revolution we are facing is driven by Alan Turing's "vision". This vision rests on the idea that intelligence is not an intrinsic property of human beings, but is a way in which matter is functionally organized and an attribute we are naturally inclined to ascribe to certain entities. For decades we have pretended that this idea does not have the corrosive power that it actually does, perhaps more so than the Copernican and Darwinian revolutions. But now, given the achievements of new forms of computing based on deep learning and predictive coding, the most common intuitions can no longer avoid the dangerous Turing idea. 
   
  The book is intended for scholars, researchers, and listeners intrigued by the intersections across disciplines interested in understanding the philosophical, ethical, and social implications of Artificial Intelligence and its impact on human nature.

  Blockchain and Decentralized Applications: Empowering a Transparent, Secure, and Decentralized Future offers an in-depth exploration of blockchain technology, which is redefining the way we think about transparency, security, and governance in the digital age. This comprehensive guide unveils the fundamental mechanisms and revolutionary impact of blockchains and decentralized applications (DApps) across various sectors. 
  Starting with a foundational overview of blockchain technology, the book explains the technical underpinnings that make blockchains uniquely secure and trustworthy. It delves into the history and evolution of this technology, from its inception as the framework behind Bitcoin to its current status as a platform for transforming industries including finance, healthcare, and supply chain management. 
  Each chapter is meticulously crafted to guide readers through the complex landscape of cryptographic methods, consensus mechanisms, and the development of smart contracts. Readers will gain practical knowledge on how to design and implement their own decentralized applications using blockchain technology. The book not only covers popular platforms like Ethereum and Cardano but also examines emerging trends and the future potential of blockchain integration with artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things. 
  Addressing both the opportunities and challenges associated with blockchain adoption, Blockchain and Decentralized Applications provides a balanced perspective on scalability issues, privacy concerns, and regulatory implications. This book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand or contribute to the development of decentralized technology solutions that offer enhanced transparency, heightened security, and resistance to censorship.

  Machine Learning with Python -...

  Ways to combat retraining depend on the algorithm and consist of the correct values of the trainer's met parameters. In practice, model estimation is not performed on the same input data that was used to train the model. Divide 10-20% of all available data into a separate set and call it a set for evaluation. We will bring the other 10-20% into the set for ratification, and 60-80% of the remaining ones will be given to the trainer. The principle of data sharing depends on the data and the task. Random sampling is often a good method if inputs are independent of each other, and there is no strong imbalance between the number of positive and negative entries. 
  The intuitive analogy here is the same as with university studies: the teacher solves some problems with students in pairs and gives other’s similar tasks in the exam. What is important here (both in teaching students and models) is that these tasks are varied, and students cannot simply memorize the answers, and those who have mastered the material (similar tasks) will be able to repeat the thought process and answer correctly. 
  In machine learning, we split into data two sets: we will use the evaluation set to evaluate each model we train, using different approaches, algorithms, and model types to select the best one. That is, for each model, we will have two precision values - precision on the training dataset and precision on the evaluation dataset. It is normal for the former to be higher than the second, but not significantly. A big difference indicates retraining.

  Nature's Echo - Harnessing...

  Whether restoring trees, conserving existing ecosystems, rewilding native animals, or changing incentives to elicit better choices, targeted interventions can tap into feedback loops that can improve our planet, our economy, and our lives.  
  A feedback loop occurs when the outcome of a process restarts that process, creating a cyclical chain of cause and effect. Feedback loops can either maintain the status quo (a negative feedback loop), or they can create a “snowball effect” (a positive feedback loop) where more begets more. These feedback loops have been with us since the beginning of time, and they are implicit in the formation of everything that exists in the universe. Physical feedback loops literally form our physical reality around us, but psychological feedback loops determine how we build our perspective of reality. 
  In 2019, The Crowther Lab, which Tom Crowther runs at ETH Zurich, a leading Swiss public research university, published a study in the journal Science on the Earth’s carrying capacity for trees. Using satellite imagery, massive datasets compiled from thousands of studies, and computer models, they evaluated where trees could naturally grow on Earth. They estimated that the planet had room for an additional one trillion trees on land not currently in use by humans for farming or settlement – land that was once forest. And the model predicted that those recovering forests would capture one third of all human carbon emissions since the industrial revolution.  Yet, lost in that initial discussion was the inclusion of the importance of biodiversity and care to ensure the reforestation efforts meant building millions of local feedback loops, where local people and nature thrive together. It meant millions of local communities, indigenous populations, farmers, and foresters working with nature to recreate whole, healthy, stable ecosystems as biodiverse as the ones we’ve lost. 
  In Nature’s Echo, Crowther explains the powerful force of feedback loops in nature and how, at the moment, our planet is experiencing a series of positive feedback loops as we hurtle towards environmental collapse. These feedback loops are too powerful to fight against. However, his research consistently shows that, instead of fighting feedback loops, we can harness their potential to create spectacular, worthwhile change. We can use feedback loops to help the Earth heal itself.
