scientists are doing science, especially in such data-intensive sciences as sociology and epidemiology, for which causal models have become a second language. These disciplines view their linguistic transformation as the Causal Revolution. As Harvard social scientist Gary King pu...

10 Teaching Minds I often have used the Department of Motor Vehicles (the DMV) as an example of the best there is in testing. They have two tests. Dumb multiple choice questions that make no sense and a real test that tests to see whether you can drive. Schools typically don’t h...

158 Teaching Minds department affairs, never about computer science. We had nothing to say to one another about that. The same is true in every department. Academic departments are made up of faculty who have been thrown together for historical reasons but really have no busines...
From Selfish Genes to Social Brains The Chicago Social Brain Network was established to examine how science might inform us about our fundamental human nature, including the apparently irrepressible quest for connection with a higher understanding and organization. Science can d...
In analog computing, complexity resides in network topology, not in code. Information is processed as continuous functions of values such as voltage and relative pulse frequency rather than by logical operations on discrete strings of bits. Digital computing, intolerant of error...

reasoning without having to hire a programmer for each problem. Wiener recognized the role of feedback in machine learning, but he missed the key role of representation. It’s not possible to store all possible images in a self-driving car, or all possible sounds in a conversation...
Federal Register/Vol. 76, No. 168/Tuesday, August 30, 2011/Rules and Regulations 54019 The proposed Appendix to Subpart A included Board contact information and basic enforcement procedures to enable employees to learn more about their NLRA rights and how to enforce them. Thus,...

many worlds. Data companies face increasing bandwith demands. They develop new ways to transmit video. Application developers create fresh tools to compress their signals. The whole system gets faster. Such co-evolution is common when linked systems press into one another.?5! If...
postulated, real physical world of ever-increasing entropy. He showed that at an absolute temperature of zero, entropy is zero. We can illustrate an approach to this singular state by placing a heated metal rod in ice water which would result in a decrease in the entropy of the r...
