----- --- 15334407 ctmu --- 15334457 >>15334407 Looks interesting --- 15334481 >>15334457 it is very --- 15334931 >>15334386 (OP) Does it have a future? How does it differ from Computer Science --- 15334935 >>15334931 There's no money in doing cybernetics if that's what you're asking. Cybernetics is incompatible with capitalism. --- 15334977 >>15334931 Computer science is about computers. Cybernetics is about amphetamines and schizophrenia --- 15335041 >>15334977 It's just a statement of fact. If people believe that all work must be profitable then unprofitable work like cybernetic research is not considered work. There is no money to be made in cybernetics because the theory itself leads to an obvious conclusion of utopian automation. This makes it clearly incompatible with profit motives because if most of the hard labor is done by robots then what use is money? --- 15335073 >>15335041 Still useful. Plus superneurons and diseases cured and mindware practictioner field and profession emerges --- 15335115 >>15334977 Ah so like astronomy vs astrology --- 15335577 >>15335115 Do you think astonomy is only just Surpassing astrology in earthnarrativeterms of propelling civilisation? Do astronomy advancement people get blessed by the gods andor whatever too? --- 15335580 >>15335577 >astonomy Astronomy* --- 15335586 I thought cybernetics meant prosthetic limbs to be desu --- 15337524 >>15334935 Nice picrel. What is cybernetics? >>15334977 What is cybernetics? What is computation? --- 15338581 >>15334386 (OP) If cybernetics was taken seriously, we'd have had self-driving cars in the 1990s. --- 15339225 don't even waste a second of your time trying to understand or learn cybernetics. it's literally nothing. just a bunch of nonsense babbling about adaptive systems and shit, it's an exercise in basic logic and english language if anything. it's not a science, nor it is remotely scientific and you don't actually do anything with it except for submiting papers where you talk about consequences. whereas if you study the more esoteric math, it'll still have some sense and rigor, cybernitcs is literally nothing, less that philosophy and gender studies even. >t. studied cybernetics. I wish I didn't waste my time with it and studied mech engineering or applied math or something that actually has a basis in reality at least. --- 15339229 >>15335586 that's the beauty of it, it is nothing and it can be anything you want it to be. it's literally a buzz word used by economists to appear smarter and more learned than they are in fact --- 15339738 >>15339225 You're retarded at a fundamental level, the thing with cybernetics is that it's ultimately just a explanation and a perspective on how intelligent systems organise themselves and while this in and of itself is completely inert although a very good intellectual exercise by itself if you keep the theory pure, the utility of cybernetics only comes into existence at the intersection with another field, for example this can be seen in neuron behavior at every level a prime example would be energy homeostasis refer to https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fncom.2019.00049/full --- 15339764 >>15334386 (OP) 3.14 --- 15339987 >>15339927 Yes ctmu is just a boring extrapolation of the universe in cybernetic terms --- 15340296 >>15339738 its a bunch of nonsense. calling it a "way of thinking" gives that away. there's math, its application, mathematical modeling and that's about it. you could model anything as anything, calling it cybernetics and wishing away the math by drawing fancy art doesn't make it real. I've unfortuantely studied way too much of this babble to speak as an uninformed citizen. I'm saying this as an advice and a warning to all prospecting young students, don't waste your time it, just do math if you're into such wizardry --- 15340727 >>15340296 It's incredibly useful and relevant in the agricultural industry and in neuroscience both of which are my main hobbys and I find cybernetics being used in these fields hence my interest --- 15341627 >>15340727 interesting then. name one equation that you learned with "cybernetics" that might be useful. you cannot because such things don't exist, only fancy vague drawings. agriculture is a discipline in itself, so is neuroscience. if you want to test hypothesis you gather data and do some statistical tests on it, or maybe model it as differential equations. or as some form of algebra. math teaches all of that and cybernetics teaches none of that, only that systems are complex and adaptive --- 15341641 >>15341627 It seems you've mistaken the application of mathematics for the only tool of use to an educated person One day you might see things differently but people like you are pointless to argue with --- 15341646 >>15341641 idk how pointless I am to argue with. I asked you for material, logical, cartesian or whatever knowledge you extracted from "cybernetics". I have studied it as my main subject in university and I am telling you I just wasted a bunch of time learning a bunch of nice sounding philosophy and rethoric. as part of the class we also dicked around with tableau and wolf/sheep population simulations but nothing too serious --- 15342273 >>15337524 bumped for this --- 15342292 >>15340296 I'm a person uninitiated to cybernetics. Is it all just a giant Fourier Transform? --- 15342308 Does cybernetics have anything to say about the new wave of AI? I get that it isn't the most quantitative of discipline, but even something like heuristics for designing low-rank adaptations would already be of significant practical value (and probably theoretical value as well). --- 15342922 >>15341627 >>15341627 >>15341641 It's not so much mathematical equations but just the concepts behind it in feedback i'll give an example out of some gay document i had to write "In the context of REDACTED, the most optimal way to achieve sustainable intensification appears to be through the diligent monitoring and collection of data on all inputs and outputs within the agricultural system. This involves tracking various factors such as water usage, fertilizer application, crop yields, and livestock health, among others. By employing cybernetic principles, the farm is able to analyze this data and identify patterns or trends that may indicate areas for improvement or potential inefficiencies. Once this data has been collected and analyzed, the farm can then quantify the effects of any alterations made to these inputs on the end result outputs, such as crop yield or livestock productivity. This process of continuous monitoring, analysis, and adjustment is reminiscent of a cybernetic feedback loop, wherein the system constantly self-regulates and adapts based on the information it receives." As well as the study I posted early https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fncom.2019.00049/full which is about ATP/energy levels determining neuron behavior --- 15343882 >>15342922 yeah. and in real speak terms you're going to gather numerical data on those exogenous variables, do a regression analysis or what have you and determine the link between it and the endogenous variable aka crop out or whatever you're interested in. now you're doing statistics. >>15342292 I didn't do anything of the sort while studying it, so idk. you may apply fourier transformations in a "cybernetic" way I guess --- 15344691 >>15343882 But that's what cybernetics is isn't it? Just a a series of feedback loops and corrections https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oad8Ro8j_fE&ab_channel=IndridCold [Embed] --- 15344789 One time I farted and accidentally shit my pants on the bus. Now I use the feedback from the nerves in my anus to control the flow of gas and check for imminent stool. --- 15344979 >>15334386 (OP) Cybernetics is self organizing systems. The old cybernetics is actually just neural networks. No one has formally proved it yet but it's hidden. --- 15345338 >>15344789 yeah bro you're doing advanced cybernetics --- 15346084 >>15344789 Source? --- 15346951 >>15334386 (OP) No one has really given an adequate sense yet of what cybernetics is yet so I'll start. It came about during the 1940s when they shipped a bunch of academics to Mexico to help with the war effort. Norbert Wiener and Arturo Rosenbluth were interested in the prospect of their potentially being hidden areas of research and development because academics tend to get shoved into silos where they only focus on a limited area of study. So in Mexico, they ended up discussing what each other was doing and tried to understand each other’s subjects in that other persons own terms. They eventually found that quite a few disciplines had their own conceptions of control and communication, such that various disciplines used the ideas of control and communication in analogous ways yet operating over different domains of interpretation. Walter Pitts and Warren McCulloch noticed for example, that the all-or-nothing potential of neurons could be mapped onto Boolean values and created the first ever artificial neuron model. They also noted how the form of different biological systems could tell you about other parallel biological systems in the body. A lot of people here seem to have "done" it but don't "get" what it is trying to do. You do cybernetics when you try to find functional analogies across different disciplines. You could call it applied math, applied physics, applied philosophy. That's kind of reductive and misses the overarching point of what the subject is trying to do. You’re looking for functional analogies between disciplines, which tell you something about both. The issue currently with cybernetics at the moment (which people in the field acknowledge), is that people are fonder of talking about it and its applications rather than actually doing anything with it. --- 15347762 >>15337524 --- 15348264 >>15339225 >he didn't make it into RAND --- 15352486 >>15344691 see: >>15346951 and: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ6orMfmorg [Embed] >>15344691 Paul's a pretty cool guy IMO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCQWtTcCaRY [Embed] |
