Introduction to Electracy
This document introduces the concept of electracy, which describes the skills needed to utilize digital media in the same way literacy describes print media skills. Electracy is a new term created by Greg Ulmer to avoid connections to literacy. Ulmer argues electracy requires entirely new thinking practices beyond existing "literacies" and uses grammatology to draw analogies between transitions from orality to literacy and literacy to electracy. The document discusses apparatus theory, analogical heuristics, and inventing new thinking practices native to digital media to address fears about technological transitions.

This presentation consists of three sections: (1) a brief description of the work of Franco Moretti and Matthew Jockers to exemplify how past literature can be seen anew using text analysis tools, (2) a brief description of Voyant and TMT in the context of text analysis generally, (3) a science fiction extrapolation describing text creation tools as the obverse of text analysis tools. One might imagine a new future literature in which text artists build texts by combining words at a distance. One might imagine an obverse to Voyant: a “text creation system” which allows users to add numbers of words to a text and to define the proximity of those words to each other using network visualizations and other tools. The construction of such texts could be imagined to be every bit as complex as writing a novel, as artists might manipulate webs of words to differentiate and potentiate shades of meaning.

My talk on the evidence for agency and consciousness in biological evolution: replacing the Neo-Darwinian paradigm with a "deep" Neo-Lamarkism. Featuring Carl Jung, Neitzche, de Chardin, and a touch of Jordan Peterson
Extending the Mind with Cognitive Prosthetics?
The key claim of the extended mind hypothesis is that the mechanisms of the mind are not confined to processes occurring within the brain or head, but can include processes that extend into and make use of the environment. The document discusses several examples to illustrate this, such as using a calculator on a computer or smartphone as an extension of one's cognitive abilities. It also discusses potential future cognitive augmentations using technologies like augmented reality glasses that could integrate information from the external world and blur the boundaries between mind and technology. However, some philosophers argue the extended mind hypothesis is implausible as it lacks a clear definition of cognition and fails to distinguish between causal influences on the mind versus actual extensions of cognitive processes.
Cognitive science Unit 1
Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of the mind and its processes. It includes psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, linguistics, and other fields. The document provides an overview of the key topics in cognitive science, including knowledge representation, language, learning, thinking, and perception. It also discusses different approaches like symbolic and connectionist computational cognitive science. The goal of cognitive science is to understand how the mind works by studying representations and processes through various methods like computational modeling.

Chaps29 the entirebookks2017 - The Mind Mahine
In this chapter, we take bold step and propose the unthinkable: The genesis of a Customizable Mind Machine.
Thought that stems from the mind is deeply seated in a biological framework of neurons. The biological origin lies
in the marvel of evolution over the eons and refined ever so fast, faster than in the prior centuries. Three (a, b and
c), triadic objects are ceaselessly at work. At a personal level (a) Mind, knowledge and machines have been
intertwined like inspiration, words and language since the dawn of the human evolution and more recently (b)
technology, manufacturing and economics have formed a web for (c) wealth, global marketing and insatiable needs
of humans and civilization. These triadic cycles of nine essential objects of human existence are spinning quicker
and quicker every year. The Internet offers the mind no choice but to leap and soar over history and over the globe.
Alternatively, human mind can sink deeper and deeper into ignorance and oblivion. More recently, the Artificial
Intelligence at work in the Internet had challenged the natural intelligence at the cognizance level in the mind to find
its way to breakthroughs and innovations.
We integrate functions of the mind with the processing of knowledge in the hardware of machines by freely
traversing the neural, mental, physical, psychological, social, knowledge, and computational spaces. The laws of
neural biology and mind, laws of knowledge and social sciences and finally the laws of physics and mechanics, in
each of the spaces are unique and executed by distinctive processors for each space. Much as mind rules over
matter, the triad of mind, space and time creates a human-space that rules over the Relativistic-space of matter,
space and time.

Thesis i 3.21.11
The document presents the hypothesis that external digital memory from social media may have negative consequences by interfering with our natural ability to forget. It suggests that being able to quickly move past difficult experiences through forgetting can benefit personal and social development. However, digital archiving hinders this natural process of letting go. Understanding how human memory works could provide insights into restoring the ability to forget details of past experiences.
Artificial intelligence
The document provides an overview of the history and development of artificial intelligence (AI). Some key points:
- The field of AI was established in 1956 at the Dartmouth Conference where researchers proposed using computers to simulate human intelligence.
- Early milestones included programs that played games like checkers and proved mathematical theorems. Research focused on symbolic and knowledge-based approaches.
- In the 1980s, expert systems flourished but funding declined amid doubts about progress, known as an "AI winter." Subsymbolic approaches using neural networks also emerged.
- Modern AI incorporates both symbolic and subsymbolic techniques, with successes in games, robotics, machine learning and other domains. Knowledge representation and common-sense reasoning

The Language of Internet Memes
Pat r i c k D av i s o n
In The Future of the Internet—and How to Stop It, Jonathan Zittrain
describes the features of a generative network. A generative network encour-
ages and enables creative production and, as a system, possesses leverage,
adaptability, ease of mastery, accessibility, and transferability.1 Notably absent
from this list of characteristics, however, is security. Many of the character-
istics that make a system generative are precisely the same ones that leave it
vulnerable to exploitation. This zero-sum game between creativity and secu-
rity implies a divided Internet. Those platforms and communities which value
security over creativity can be thought of as the “restricted web,” while those
that remain generative in the face of other concerns are the “unrestricted web.”
The restricted web has its poster children. Facebook and other social net-
working sites are growing at incredible speeds. Google and its ever-expand-
ing corral of applications are slowly assimilating solutions to all our com-
puting needs. Amazon and similar search-based commerce sites are creating
previously unimagined economies.2 Metaphorically, these sites, and count-
less others, make up the cities and public works of the restricted web. How-
ever, the unrestricted web remains the wilderness all around them, and it is
this wilderness that is the native habitat of Internet memes.
The purpose of this essay is twofold. The first is to contribute to a frame-
work for discussing so-called Internet memes. Internet memes are popular
and recognizable but lack a rigorous descriptive vocabulary. I provide a few
terms to aid in their discussion. The second purpose is to consider Foucault’s
“author function” relative to Internet memes, many of which are created and
spread anonymously.
What Is an Internet Meme?
In 1979 Richard Dawkins published The Selfish Gene, in which he discredits
the idea that living beings are genetically compelled to behave in ways that
are “good for the species.” Dawkins accomplishes this by making one point

clear: the basic units of genetics are not species, families, or even individuals
but rather single genes—unique strands of DNA.3
At the end of the book, Dawkins discusses two areas where evolutionary
theory might be heading next. It is here that he coins the term “meme.” He
acknowledges that much of human behavior comes not from genes but from
culture. He proposes that any nongenetic behavior be labeled as a meme and
then poses a question: can the application of genetic logic to memes be pro-
ductive? To make the differences between genes and memes clear, I offer a
short example of each.
Genes determine an organism’s physical characteristics. A certain gene
causes an organism to have short legs, or long, for instance. Imagine two
zebra. The first has the short-leg gene, and the second the long. A lion attacks
them. The shor ...

Rights of Machine
A resolution on "civil law on robotics" was put to vote by the Legal Affairs Committee of the European Parliament in February 2017. It included a number of recommendations for the European Commission, including the creation of a special legal status for robots and the creation of an ethics code for those who create them. Making it possible to assign blame in the event that increasingly complex and intelligent machines cause harm when making autonomous judgments by interacting in specific contexts was one of the text's declared objectives.

work for discussing so-called Internet memes. Internet memes are popular
and recognizable but lack a rigorous descriptive vocabulary. I provide a few
terms to aid in their discussion. The second purpose is to consider Foucault’s
“author function” relative to Internet memes, many of which are created and
spread anonymously.
What Is an Internet Meme?
In 1979 Richard Dawkins published The Selfish Gene, in which he discredits
the idea that living beings are genetically compelled to behave in ways that
are “good for the species.” Dawkins accomplishes this by making one point

clear: the basic units of genetics are not species, families, or even individuals
but rather single genes—unique strands of DNA.3
At the end of the book, Dawkins discusses two areas where evolutionary
theory might be heading next. It is here that he coins the term “meme.” He
acknowledges that much of human behavior comes not from genes but from
culture. He proposes that any nongenetic behavior be labeled as a meme and
then poses a question: can the application of genetic logic to memes be pro-
ductive? To make the differences between genes and memes clear, I offer a
short example of each.
Genes determine an organism’s physical characteristics. A certain gene
causes an organism to have short legs, or long, for instance. Imagine two
zebra. The first has the short-leg gene, and the second the long. A lion attacks
them. The shor ...

The Language of Internet Memes
Pat r i c k D av i s o n
In The Future of the Internet—and How to Stop It, Jonathan Zittrain
describes the features of a generative network. A generative network encour-
ages and enables creative production and, as a system, possesses leverage,
adaptability, ease of mastery, accessibility, and transferability.1 Notably absent
from this list of characteristics, however, is security. Many of the character-
istics that make a system generative are precisely the same ones that leave it
vulnerable to exploitation. This zero-sum game between creativity and secu-
rity implies a divided Internet. Those platforms and communities which value
security over creativity can be thought of as the “restricted web,” while those
that remain generative in the face of other concerns are the “unrestricted web.”
The restricted web has its poster children. Facebook and other social net-
working sites are growing at incredible speeds. Google and its ever-expand-
ing corral of applications are slowly assimilating solutions to all our com-
puting needs. Amazon and similar search-based commerce sites are creating
previously unimagined economies.2 Metaphorically, these sites, and count-
less others, make up the cities and public works of the restricted web. How-
ever, the unrestricted web remains the wilderness all around them, and it is
this wilderness that is the native habitat of Internet memes.

Rights of Machine
A resolution on "civil law on robotics" was put to vote by the Legal Affairs Committee of the European Parliament in February 2017. It included a number of recommendations for the European Commission, including the creation of a special legal status for robots and the creation of an ethics code for those who create them. Making it possible to assign blame in the event that increasingly complex and intelligent machines cause harm when making autonomous judgments by interacting in specific contexts was one of the text's declared objectives.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
