Previous: Seagulls: Impressions of Cuttyhunk during the summer of 2021? It's humid, and been humid for a decade or two, but I haven't observed any obvious rise in sea level due to global warming when looking at high tide on a full moon. So is global warming happening, but the oceans not radically affected yet? Possibly. * * * Stuart Liddell - piper extraordinaire - appreciating the expression of wholeness or serenity after piping in his face in photo at the end of this video ~ Giving too a Scottish Small Piping lesson from Cuttyhunk via video streaming on Thursday :) * * * Mrs. Haskell was the school teacher in the one room school house in the winter on Cuttyhunk island, that I remember from the 1970s from her sitting on her porch at the top of Broadway, and Tower Hill Road * She was also a first Cuttyhunk historian, writing "The Story of Cuttyhunk" * Some other Cuttyhunk island related history, (including relating to family friend Richard Robb MD, Harvard professor of Ophthalmology, and my father Gordon K MacLeod MD)

Seek App to identify this great-ly (kinda funny) named plant - Tall Blue Lettuce (Lactuca Biennis) - HEALTHY - identify w #SeekbyiNaturalist > 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth ... and to learn machine learning?

 

Ma, 

I used the Seek App to identify this great-ly (kinda funny) named plant -

Tall Blue Lettuce

Tall Blue Lettuce (Lactuca Biennis) - HEALTHY - identify w #SeekbyiNaturalist > 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth > #RealisticVirtualEarthForEvolutionaryBiology + #RealisticVirtualEarthForBotany + #RealisticVirtualEarthForSpecies #GoogleStreetView #TimeSlider & to LEARN #MachineLearning ~


That's the Schenck house behind in the picture ...

Amused that it's so easy to do this while sitting at breakfast (& how to combine further with eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology - http://scottmacleod.com/LovingBlissPractices.htm - somehow in the observational and learning process - ? :)

See too for ex. ...

Passiflora alata: Plan loving bliss neurophysiology eliciting daily and naturally ... because they're some of the best experiences and best qualities of brain and bodymind chemistry in life? Loving Bliss (eliciting this neurophysiology) wiki subject page at WUaS, "Loving Bliss Practices" ... "Guidelines for practicing loving bliss vis-à-vis practicing a musical instrument," See John Money on Lovemaps, "Caring and Loving" wiki subject page at WUaS, So what would be some possible plans? Much fun social music generation per day?, Contextualize these explorations within evolutionary biology, And to begin with baby steps, And for flourishing with this over decades? Ongoing communication and conversation with friends? To Loving Bliss Eliciting, Caring and Loving and Philosophy wiki pages at WUaS

In what ways could we ...?

Yay, Ma! Glad you've used Seek :) Love, Scott

Ma, 

But how can the Seek App become further accurate ? ... compared with Wikipedia pictures, the leaves on Cuttyhunk are broader and different than in some of the Wikipedia pictures. (And in what ways could WUaS students learning machine learning help with this ... since pictures of species, and hence data, are growing enormously day by day?)

Love, 
Scott

Ma, 

Tall Blue Lettuce is kind of a funny name because it's not that tall, it's not blue in its leaves at all, and it's not a lettuce I'm familiar with :)

Is this a turning point for World Univ & Sch? (Thanks to executive director Yassi Moghaddam at ISSIP, and everyone at ISSIP for this Award!)

Getting PRESS has been a very long journey for World Univ & Sch - and the role of the Press in America is at times one of watch dog and conscience - and I wonder whether there's any linkage whatsoever between my ongoing expression of concern about 1) the wrongs that MIT has done in recent years regarding the illegal sex industry, - my calls for aboliton in these regards - 2) my whistle-blowing about Canyon 94516, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Berkeley Law, the SF Quaker Meeting, Reed College, and 3) newly my exploration even of making this MacLeod house on Cuttyhunk law abiding proof somehow (with the Google Nest WiFi Hub and the possible Google Nest x Yale Lock with Nest Connection) ... Journalists do due diligence all the time ... and getting this write up in Yahoo Finance (Is Marissa Mayer still a head of Yahoo???) ... is also a HUGE STEP and represents progress in the direction World Univ & Sch seeks to head!

Warmly, Scott

Hoping to get WiFi receptivity with a first Google Nest into some or much of our house here! This first Google Nest WiFi Hub is arriving on Monday, and while I'll be gone, I've asked Grant to help Ma to install this, I'm glad to write! Hopefully Peg and Ma can have decent WiFi in the rest of the house, and even in the 2 front bedrooms!!!

Dear Dennis, and Larry, All, 


Larry, thank you for offering to contact our WUaS first prospective PhD student Alvian Nur in Indonesia directly, and to help him as his instructor or perhaps adviser to get started with his studies beginning with MIT OCW courses he sent in (below), in statistics and economics, as he matriculates in this WUaS PhD pathway. 

I found interesting this recent Tweet of his about a machine learning hackathon -

and it makes me wonder how WUaS could richly facilitate machine learning in a statistics' PhD (in Indonesia esp.) further, since it's timely and topical, - and computation is probably a key path ahead in statistics and economics academically too. It seems like this would be an opportunity for WUaS to engage other resources on the web to complement MIT OCW and Alvian's MIT program pathway regarding machine learning, or to delve further into MIT OCW in different ways about this topic.

I looked up 'machine learning and Lego Robotics,' and 'Machine Learning and Scratch programming,' but only found some initial efforts and web sites.

Dennis, (Linda), are there approaches to machine learning you're developing for your students in statistics and economics at CMU? Playful approaches somehow even? Might your department be hiring faculty even to teach Machine Learning, or are you building on previous approaches to machine learning as this (ML) develops, by any chance ?

Might there some collaboration potentials between CMU and WUaS in these regards? Might we even inquire of Peter Norvig further about related questions, since he wrote the main text book on AI - "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach" (2020, 4th Ed)?

Best regards, Scott




From Alvian Nur in Indonesia: 


May 20, 2021

Hello Sir, thank you for this email. I'm really looking forward to taking my first year in  #WUaSPhDdegrees. I'm interested to take these courses:

I choose these two courses based on this program pathway: https://stat.mit.edu/academics/idps/idps-economics/

thanks
