This document discusses the difference between observations and inferences. An observation is a factual statement describing what can be seen through the senses. An inference is a conclusion or judgment made based on observations, but which cannot be directly observed itself. The document provides examples of quantitative and qualitative observations, and how scientists extend their senses through tools. It also gives examples of observations versus inferences related to a wilted plant, a stopped car, and a baseball team's division lead.
WEATHER is the state of the atmosphere at a given time and place with regard to temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind, cloudiness, and precipitation. The term weather is restricted to conditions over short periods of time; conditions over long periods are referred to as climate.

PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT IT IS TRUE. THEY USE FACTS TO REACH CONCLUSIONS ABOUT THINGS, TO MAKE THEIR OWN OPINIONS.
THE RUSTIC NEEDS TO KNOW THE FACTS ABOUT THE DIFFERENT MATERIALS HE CAN USE FOR HIS TOILET AND WHERE TO PLACE IT.
OF COURSE, HE ALSO NEEDS TO KNOW HOW RELIABLE THE INFORMATION IS.
IN ORDER TO DO SOMETHING WITH INFORMATION
RECORDING PEOPLE'S OPINIONS IS USEFUL TO YOUR READERS OR LISTENERS.
HEARING AN OPINION ON AN ISSUE MIGHT STIMULATE THEM TO THINK ABOUT THE ISSUE THEMSELVES.
IF THEY HEAR A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT OPINIONS, THEY CAN USE THIS INFORMATION TO BUILD UP THEIR OWN IDEAS.
THEY CAN ALSO USE OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS AS MODELS FOR THEIR OWN. IF THEY READ OF SOMEONE EXPRESSING AN OPINION THEY AGREE WITH, THEY MIGHT ADOPT THAT OPINION FOR THEMSELVES.
Philosophy: “If there is no truth, there can be no knowledge. Defining what truth is and what is belief can be problematic, and the boundaries between them are a subject of philosophical debate. If it is accepted that there are objective facts which not all philosophers agree on then it can be argued that knowledge is an attempt to match beliefs with reality to develop "true beliefs. This branch of philosophy is called epistemology, which is the study of the nature of knowledge, as well as the limits of what human beings can know.
OPINION: Share someone thoughs feelings or emotions.
Opinions can be based on facts or emotions and sometimes they are meant to deliberately mislead others. A fact is a statement that can be proven true or false. An opinion is an expression of a person’s feelings that cannot be proven. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the author’s purpose and choice of language. Sometimes, the author lets the facts speak for themselves.An opinion is a belief; it is normally subjective, meaning that it can vary based on a person's perspective, emotions, or individual understanding of something. Usually speaking, a fact is something that has actually happened or that is empirically true and can be supported by evidence. For example, biological differences between males and females are a fact, while a preference for one gender over the other is opinion.Subjective and Objective: This is the opposite of an opinion, which is what an individual thinks or feels about a subject. Although the differences between facts and opinions usually rest on whether they are objective or subjective, a true statement can in some cases be subjective. If a person says he is feeling sad, for example, that is a subjective fact about his emotional state it is subjective because it is only that person's individual experience. For something to be objective, it must be outside of the mind and not be based on feelings or biases. According to most definitions, something is a fact if it matches objective reality. On the other hand, if the first person tells the second person that the second person feels sad, this statement is an opinion or guess, regardless of whether i

Students often have trouble understanding the difference between observations and inferences. This presentation starts by going over definitions of each term, as well as, the differences between quantitative and qualitative observations. The goal is for students to understand that observations are data, which is used to create inferences (preliminary conclusions) and evidence is when you use the data to support your inferences. A final point is made that inferences are preliminary conclusions, thus inferences can not be seen. The remainder of the presentation gives multiple photos for students to practice making inferences from data. This learning program is geared to K-12 students, but can also be used for introductory college courses in multiple subjects.
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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.
