Meine Frau sagt, unser #Induktionsherd taugt nichts, weil sie eigentlich immer zwischen den Stufen 6 und 7 wechseln muss, da beide nicht richtig passen und es nichts dazwischen gibt und alles unter 5 überhaupt nicht zu gebrauchen ist. Ist das bei euch auch so?

"[Mathematical induction] is a tool that allows us to move from the finite to the infinite. This tool is always useful because it allows us to skip as many steps as we want, sparing us long, tedious, and monotonous verifications that would quickly become impractical. However, it becomes indispensable as soon as we aim at the general theorem, whose analytical verification would bring us closer and closer [...]" – Henri Poincaré (1854-1912)

The 11yo is now regularly cooking their own pasta with the #induction hob, and wow is that a lot less for a parent to worry about than the hot electric stovetop or an open gas flame (it's still scalding hot water though, make sure they know how to manage it.) There is even a timer setting so it just turns off if you forget. Also, I highly recommend raising a self-feeding child

Returning to the scene of Dewey's “Sign of Rain” example, let's continue examining how the transfer of knowledge through the analogy of experience works in that case.

By way of a recap, we began by considering a fragment K_pres of the reasoner's knowledge base which is logically equivalent to a conjunction of two rules.

• K_pres ⇔ (B ⇒ A) ∧ (B ⇒ D).

K_pres may be thought of as a piece of knowledge or item of information allowing for the possibility of certain conditions, expressed in the form of a logical constraint on the present universe of discourse.

Next we found it convenient to express all logical statements in terms of their models, that is, in terms of the primitive circumstances or elements of experience over which they hold true.

• Let E_past be the chosen set of experiences, or the circumstances in mind under “past experience”.

• Let E_poss be the collective set of experiences, or the prospective total of possible circumstances.

• Let E_pres be the current experience, or the circumstances immediately present to the reasoner.

If we think of the knowledge base K_pres as referring to the “regime of experience” over which it is valid, then the sets of models involved in the analogy may be ordered according to the relationships of set inclusion or logical implication existing among them.

Figure 4 shows the subsumption relations involved in the analogy of experience.

I shot this video w/Penn Environment last fall and the crew did an amazing job putting these clean energy stories together.

*Especially* given the ongoing, escalating assault on the environment, I'm proud that the things I've already done (#solar #induction #EV #native #plants) will keep on making a difference for decades to come, regardless.

"they’re investing not only in cleaner energy for themselves, but also a cleaner world for their grandchildren’s generation."

My long-in-preparation Cambridge Element ‘Probability and Inductive Logic’ is now available.

https://doi.org/10.1017/9781009210171

Abstract: Reasoning from inconclusive evidence, or 'induction', is central to science and any applications we make of it. For that reason alone it demands the attention of philosophers of science. This element explores the prospects of using probability theory to provide an inductive logic: a framework for representing evidential support. Constraints on the ideal evaluation of hypotheses suggest that the overall standing of a hypothesis is represented by its probability in light of the total evidence, and incremental support, or confirmation, indicated by the hypothesis having a higher probability conditional on some evidence than it does unconditionally. This proposal is shown to have the capacity to reconstruct many canons of the scientific method and inductive inference. Along the way, significant objections are discussed, such as the challenge of inductive scepticism, and the objection that the probabilistic approach makes evidential support arbitrary.

Let's examine how the transfer of knowledge through the analogy of experience works in the case of Dewey's “Sign of Rain” example.

For concreteness, consider a fragment K_pres of the reasoner's knowledge base which is logically equivalent to a conjunction of two rules.

• K_pres ⇔ (B ⇒ A) ∧ (B ⇒ D).

K_pres may be thought of as a piece of knowledge or item of information allowing for the possibility of certain conditions, expressed in the form of a logical constraint on the present universe of discourse.

It is convenient to have the option of expressing all logical statements in terms of their models, that is, in terms of the primitive circumstances or elements of experience over which they hold true.

• Let E_past be the chosen set of experiences, or the circumstances in mind under “past experience”.

• Let E_poss be the collective set of experiences, or the prospective total of possible circumstances.

• Let E_pres be the current experience, or the circumstances immediately present to the reasoner.

If we think of the knowledge base K_pres as referring to the “regime of experience” over which it is valid, then the sets of models involved in the analogy may be ordered according to the relationships of set inclusion or logical implication existing among them.

I am getting deeply confused and annoyed searching for #induction cookware. "Best Induction cookware sets" comes up with lots and lots of stainless steel (non-magnetic) and I *know* that won't work well.

Anybody here have good pots and pans that work well with an induction range? Drop me a link, thank you!

the #steak is ready

love my #induction top and my stainless steel pan

I think this is the honkin-est chonker I done did to date

Transfer —

What exactly gives the acquisition of a knowledge base its distinctively inductive character? It is evidently the “analogy of experience” involved in applying what we've learned in the past to what confronts us in the present.

Whenever we find ourselves approaching a problem with the thought, “If past experience is any guide …” we can be sure the analogy of experience has come into play. We are seeking to find analogies between past experience as a totality and present experience as a point of application.

From a statistical point of view what we mean is this — “If past experience is a fair sample of possible experience then knowledge gained from past experience may usefully apply to present experience”. It is that mechanism which allows a knowledge base to be carried across gulfs of experience which remain indifferent to the effective contents of its rules.

Next we'll examine how the transfer of knowledge through the analogy of experience works out in the case of Dewey's “Sign of Rain” example.

@loran_hayden no new nonstick needed! #castiron in every size down to single egg 5” diameter. Love that it works on #induction with a paper towel as long as you don’t drag it. The fast preheating on air fryer toaster oven combo is terrific. Can’t use induction and air fryer on same circuit…trips breaker.
