How the #Brain Distinguishes Between #Ambiguous #Hypotheses

#Neural activity patterns can encode competing hypotheses about which landmark will lead to the correct destination.

A language where words are easily confused can be confusing. Finnish, however, is perfectly easy to understand:

palaa = something returns; something burns; many pieces
kuusi = spruce tree; the number six; your moon

One might say "kuusi palaa" when one wants six pieces of sugar in one's tea, the spruce tree is on fire; or to tell someone their moon will come back. These are not situations that are easily confused with other.

We argue that in #socialmedia #content moderation process, #humanrights play an #ambiguous role. We detail how those who #struggle with #marginalization may find a space for expression and #empowerment or face exacerbation of pre-existing #bias. #bizhr #bhr #facebook #instagram #meta #twitter #responsibility #oversight #csr

Just learned about the term #vuca -> #volatile #uncertain #complex and #ambiguous -> definitely the right term for the times we are living in.

Here's #Catholic #World's #Review of John #Steinbeck's last #Novel:
The #Winter of Our #Discontent (1961):

It is #Regrettable that the #Author... invested the #Book w/ #MumboJumbo & #HocusPocus involving a #Talisman, a #Female #Witch, & #Ambiguous #Religious #Significance that results in a #Contrived, #Pretentious #Story...
-
The #Title is from #Shakespeare's #RichardIII:

"Now is the winter of our discontent
Made #Glorious #Summer by this sun [or son] of #York."

How does #openAI deal with the Snark?

※ "Eight members" is wrong. Two important members are missing: The #Baker and the #Butcher.
※ "Boots" might be a portmanteau for "Bonnets and Hoods". Lines 9 and 10 of #TheHuntingOfTheSnark are #ambiguous. There are nine or ten members.

Just watched CURE by Kiyoshi Kurosawa and wow, was that an atmospheric & dark gem of a film, filled with tension and dread. I love #ambiguous #movies where I can spend time after watching just reveling in all the possible truths and meanings. Who's seen it?

@meeee
I use "free as in freedom" too. This is yet another way English shows to be an intrinsically #ambiguous language. Let's keep using Latin derived word "software libero/libre/livre" even when speaking English in order to avoid any ambiguity
@cobra

#English is an #ambiguous #language.

If you doubt, try to explain what do I mean if I write "Lead is lead."

I squint in the uncertain light. “This phrasing is #ambiguous, but my best guess is that you twist the third knob until you hear two clicks.”
You shift back on your heels, incredulous. “What’s ambiguous about that?”
I shrug. “What happens next.”
