Errors, Durable and Otherwise
Social life consists of making mistakes, then correcting them. The big questions do not concern who makes the fewest mistakes and why, but whether the mistakes are fruitful, how fast people recognize them, and how well they correct them. The same principles apply to writing books, even if the interaction and error-correction take longer to operate than in everyday conversation. This symposium’s...
متن کاملAutomated Techniques for Surviving (Otherwise) Fatal Software Errors
Many errors in software systems do not manifest themselves until the system has been deployed into production use. Fatal errors can have especially severe consequences in such situations as they may completely deny the user any of the service that the program is designed to supply. The standard approach to dealing with errors is to notify the organization that produced the system of the problm,...
متن کاملRelief: Pictorial and otherwise
Surfaces play an important role in visual perception. They are perceived as ‘(perceptual) reliefs’. that are surfaces in 2 + 1D perceptual space, that is the product space of the 2D visual field and the ID ‘depth dimension’. It is in many respects irrelevant whether the observer views a true 3D scene or a flat (2D) picture of a scene. In both cases, the percepts are reliefs in 2 + ID perceptual...

We humanists, when asked to speak on questions of science and technology, arc notorious for offering an embarrassed and ignorant respect toward those matters, a respect, however, which can all too quickly degenerate into insolent condescension.

متن کاملIs Uncertainty Reduction the Basis for Perception? Errors in Norwich’s Entropy Theory of Perception Imply Otherwise
This paper reveals errors within Norwich et al.’s Entropy Theory of Perception, errors that have broad implications for our understanding of perception. What Norwich and coauthors dubbed their “informational theory of neural coding” [1] is based on cybernetics, that is, control and communication in man and machine. The Entropy Theory uses information theory to interpret human performance in abs...
