What's a good definition for the Real? Philosophers and others have come up with many definitions to try to explain what lies under the surface of appearances--what is really real in a shifting world.
Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, delivered as lectures to his students at his Lyceum over 2,000 years ago, provide a profound examination of human nature and the ends to which our conduct should be directed. Virtue is at the heart of his practical view of happiness (eudaimonia) as the point of life.
From Koheleth and Aristotle to Bentham and John Stuart Mill, happiness is seen as the end or goal of a good life. Here's the relation between happiness and ethics according to Mill.
Of all the virtues, reverence may be the one least regarded. But it is vital for our humanity and for the strength of our communities. Here's why . . .

The Numinous: Experiencing the Sacred in the SecularBarry Casey
How do we experience the Sacred in this world? Is the spiritual always just out of reach? Here are perspectives from sociology, philosophy, and anthropology that reveal our changing views on the Numinous.
Nature and sacred spaces — two places where we sense what Rudolf Otto called, 'The Numinous,' or the Holy. He characterized this experience, available to anyone, as "Mysterium tremendum et fascinans" — the mysterious, the tremendous, the fascinating. You can read more about it in "The Idea of the Holy" by Rudolf Otto.
Meanings of Life: A Philosophical Jump-StartBarry Casey
There isn't just one meaning of life, there are many. There are personal meanings and social meanings—and all our meanings form as a result of our interactions with others. Language, information, symbols, rituals, and ethics are the ingredients we use to construct meanings in life. Meanings are in people, not in objects; in our cultures and in ourselves. Our personal meanings and our social meanings intertwine to shape our relation to our societies.
Humans are a mystery to themselves. What does it mean to say "me," for example? This deck looks at some perspectives on the self from philosophy and religions of the world.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
