What's New 01/04/2024 -- In December of 2023, published paper on machine learning: AI, not solely machine learning. 10/02/2023 -- We have been collecting papers that tell the story of the Knowledge Systems Center (KSC) of Sperry Univac. Work of the KSC pertains to many issues of the current AI (artificial environment). 05/04/2023 -- In November, OpenAI released with ChattGPT-3 which slowly got attention from both sides, pro and con. One of its influences was to raise the debate about AI. To wit, the White House has held a conference on the subject. With respect to truth engineering, this situation had renewed interest in the knowledge approaches. See this blog for more information: ajswtlk.com/TruthEng/. 12/31/2022 -- Truth Engineering is coming into its own. 2023 will see more activity here. 12/31/2021 -- Busy year. However, AI as ML/DL is having its wave (another winter) soon. Many are calling for a rewind. See Grand Challenge (home page). 07/23/2020 -- Truth engineering is at the core of what we are trying to do. The past two years have been spent setting a 'ground' mode with which to launch a definitional mode that has to be the start. 10/16/2018 -- Several things this year tie into the topic of this site: Truth Engineering. On a truth engineering bent. Why? It’s the real basis for AI. Nice to see this work: Carnegie Mellon is Saving Old Software from Oblivion. As the article says, reproducibility is the bedrock of science. ML as AI? Far from what we need in terms of sustainable science. Too, some are seeing how ML actually fits, ought to fit. People will drive the process and the evaulations. Recent post about an article by the head of CompSci at UCLA: Overview of AI 02/16/2018 -- Will get more active with this. Concepts to discuss are: truth engines, peripatetic potential, microtubules (talks at Center for Study of Consciousness), and more 02/14/2017 -- Looking at moving the psychether work (psychether.quora.com) to this site before expanding it further. 08/01/2015 -- Starting to use Quora (my profile) to organize material, discussions, and such. See Principal Interest #1. 02/16/2015 -- Topics of interest include truth, things, life, people, and our artifacts. 01/01/2015 -- For starters, what is Truth Engineering? We have started the discussion. As we would expect, Tru'eng has several meanings. 12/31/2014 -- Reorganizing and reconfiguring. Truth Engineering is alive and well. Some background. 07/19/2014 -- Bit the bullet (all sorts of motivations, but this is one). So, got into HTML/CSS, again, so as to get up to speed. Then, changed the TGS site. Blogging about the content management as well as the technical issues as I go along. 02/11/2014 -- Drupal was hacked. First time for everything. Removed the Drupal installation. Considering Concrete5 (example). 07/10/2013 -- I think that I found it: Joomla 3.1.1. Ice Themes offers a new template that is interesting. Like the approach, albeit the backend takes some getting used to. But, one can add in one's own code. Too, Wordpress might be put into place as a blog resource. 07/06/2013 -- Finished the Workpress video (see page); now looking at a series Joomla videos (not as well presented, but helpful in finding way through the labrinth of menus in the development area). Drupal? Too much emphasis on code, at least in the version that I looked at. I had to go to a WYSIWYG editor, cut the HTML over, and test. 07/05/2013 -- Spent the past few months with You-tube classes (Stanford, etc.) dealing with theoretical subjects. Or, looking at music videos ranging across the decades. Like reliving the past. ... Now, it's time to grapple with the website itself. My experience is long, across a whole lot of platforms and approaches (including distributed, intelligent, and object-oriented). So, I have the basis having dealt with 10s of different types of languages. Also, used web-based approaches, both compiled and interpretive. So, I could jump ahead, from the 2000 timeframe, and use a language. But, rather than do that, I'll use some of the neat tools. So, following along a tutorial, about Wordpress, I'll set up a site. After that, I'll do Drupal and Joomla tutorials and have them all on the same level. Then, I'll stop and see what is the best of techniques. I'll choose one, get acquainted (by then, I'll have the WSIWYG thing down), and develop the permanent site. 12/30/2012 -- Most likely there'll be a New Year's resolution: find which of the tools listed in the Technical Section to use (or find another tool or buy a WYSIWYG that cuts good HTML). 05/21/2012 -- Officelive is gone. Now, we'll upgrade the site (see Technical section, below). 04/17/2012 -- Only 13 more days of Officelive. 03/23/2012 -- Converting to using HTML, for the interim, using SeaMonkey/Composer. 03/15/2012 -- This site will be moving from OfficeLive to another host (hopefully, soon). Updates on the progress will be regular. 04/03/2011 - We've just had our 4th March. Too, we need to look at background issues in order to build the proper model. 09/24/2010 - A couple of themes relate to this effort: Facebook as metaphor and what may be versus what must be, Prior page
