Yeah, all those stars drip down like butter
And promises are sweet
We hold out our pans with our hands to catch them
We eat them up, drink them up, up, up, up
Quantos de você sabem que o correto em português é aeroSSol e não aeroSol (com som de z)?
Aerosol só em inglês.
@mevenlennonbertrand I like my interactive notes on logic : https://personal.cis.strath.ac.uk/robert.atkey/cs208/
Not super advanced, and definitely not perfect, but I think it gets a long way for a second course on logic, including a formal proof of the undecidability of the halting problem.
A grim signal: Atmospheric CO2 soared in 2024
Scientists are worried because they can’t fully explain the big jump, but they think it might mean that carbon absorption by forests, fields, and wetlands is slowing down.

"Esse é um ponto que tem sido observado, com alguma preocupação, pelos próprios teóricos críticos, que começaram a se preocupar com o fato de que muitas teorias bem conceituadas, que têm sido objeto de debate acadêmico por décadas, podem ser pouco mais do que sofisticadas teorias conspiratórias."

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.
