interactive - National Film Board of Canada At the NFB we like change. For 70 years we've experimented, innovated, and produced a legacy of technical and creative firsts in cinema, animation, and documentary. Think McLaren, Lipsett, Brittain, and Jutra; Stereoscopic 3d, VTR, and participatory media. Today, the way we create, consume, and connect with each other changes by the minute. And this evolving collection of stories reflects that reality. It's the result of artists and storytellers of all sorts utilizing new technology, to explore new forms of creation, for a new kind of Canada. The stories they're telling here are new, but share a lot in common with the work that came before: they present distinct voices, strong points-of-view, and unique perspectives. So let the conversation begin. Scary or otherwise.
Doxastic logic Doxastic logic is a modal logic concerned with reasoning about beliefs. The term doxastic derives from the ancient Greek δόξα, doxa, which means "belief." Typically, a doxastic logic uses 'Bx' to mean "It is believed that x is the case," and the set There is complete parallelism between a person who believes propositions and a formal system that derives propositions. Types of reasoners[edit] To demonstrate the properties of sets of beliefs, Raymond Smullyan defines the following types of reasoners: Accurate reasoner:[1][need quotation to verify][2][dead link][3][dead link][4][need quotation to verify] An accurate reasoner never believes any false proposition. Inaccurate reasoner:[1][2][3][4] An inaccurate reasoner believes at least one false proposition. Conceited reasoner:[1][4] A conceited reasoner believes his or her beliefs are never inaccurate. Consistent reasoner:[1][2][3][4] A consistent reasoner never simultaneously believes a proposition and its negation. or See also[edit]
23 Amazing Single Page Websites When a website doesn’t call for a lot of content, it might be a good idea to go with the single page approach – where all of the content lives on the home page and the navigation, in most cases, allows the user to jump from one section to another. In the past few years, we’ve seen a steady increase in popularity of these types of sites, mainly partly because the use of jQuery can make for some nifty transitions and effects. For you’re inspiration, we gathered some really nice examples of websites that use only one page to show all their content. From minimalist layouts to colorful ones, from plain and simple menu navigations to parallax scrolling, you will find plenty here to inspire you. Take some time and check them all out, and let us know which one is your favorite.

Aplicaciones para mejorar la memoria entrenando el cerebro La memoria es un fenómeno de la mente que permite al organismo codificar, almacenar y recuperar la información. Para algunos es maravillosa, aun cuando son mayores, para otros nunca fue muy eficiente o simplemente se va deteriorando poco a poco con el paso de los años. La buena noticia es que hay muchas maneras de ejercitar nuestro cerebro para mejorar la memoria o ralentizar su deterioro. Diversas investigaciones científicas reflejan que determinadas actividades como crucigramas y rompecabezas contribuyen a aumentar la agilidad mental, y como consecuencia ayudan a mejorar la memoria. Lumosity Lumosity es un programa de entrenamiento cerebral de mas de 40 juegos en las áreas de la memoria, la atención, la flexibilidad, la velocidad de procesamiento y la resolución de problemas. Lumosity crea un programa de entrenamiento personalizado que desafía a tu cerebro, entrenando tu memoria y atención. Memory Trainer Fit Brains Trainer Brain Lab Mejora tu memoria
Interactive Narratives - The Best in Multimedia Storytelling and Multimedia Journalism Types, and two approaches to problem solving Introduction There are two broad approaches to problem solving that I see frequently in mathematics and computing. One is attacking a problem via subproblems, and another is attacking a problem via quotient problems. Subproblems Consider sorting algorithms. Quotient problems The term quotient is a technical term from mathematics. Suppose we want to add a list of integers, say: 123, 423, 934, 114. To solve a problem via quotient problems we usually need to find a filter that does respect the original problem. Another example of the quotient approach is to look at the knight’s tour problem in the case where two opposite corners have been removed from the chessboard. (Note that this is the same trick as we use for arithmetic, though it’s not immediately obvious. Wearing filters while programming So now think about developing some code in a dynamic language like Python. a = 1 The Python interpreter doesn’t just store the integer 1 somewhere in memory. b = a+1 In many cases we can. if a>1 then:
Dialysis Facility Tracker By Robin Fields, Al Shaw, and Jennifer LaFleur, ProPublica, Updated October 4, 2013 This site is for dialysis patients and others who want to learn about the quality of care at individual dialysis clinics. Among other things, you can learn how often patients treated at a facility have been hospitalized, report certain types of infections or are placed on the transplant list. The information is submitted by facilities and collected by contractors of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the federal agency that oversees most dialysis care.

Anexo:Sesgos cognitivos El hombre en el centro ha cometido un error en sus pasos de baile y choca contra la mujer, que se enoja y los demás murmuran. En la obra de Jane Austen Orgullo y prejuicio (1813) se muestra claramente el prejuicio de clases sociales y cómo el desconocimiento/errores en el protocolo, baile o costumbres permiten estratificar o encasillar a la gente en diferentes niveles sociales. «¡Para el otro lado, Sr. Collins!». Un sesgo cognitivo, prejuicio cognitivo o predisposición cognitiva son términos usados para describir alteraciones en la mente humana que son moderadamente difíciles de eliminar y que llevan a una distorsión de la percepción, una distorsión cognitiva, a un juicio impreciso o a una interpretación ilógica.[1] Se trata de un conjunto de fenómenos, en general, estudiados por la psicología cognitiva, todos con soporte empírico, y no debe ser confundido con lo que comúnmente se entiende como "prejuicio". Sesgos en la toma de decisiones y predisposiciones conductuales[editar]

NewsBios | Home of the World's Most Influential Journalists Heuristics and Biases: The Psychology of Intuitive Judgment - Thomas Gilovich, Dale Griffin, Daniel Kahneman Look At This : NPR I’m Wes Lindamood, an interaction designer on the NPR Visuals team. I’ll be joining you here on Look At This from time to time to explore design, technology and (I hope) some interesting stories about how we see the world. Today’s rabbit hole: Faces in things. "Ooh - I think I hear the recycling truck!"— @FacesPics A funny photo showed up in my Twitter feed a few weeks ago, and it was the most delightful thing I saw all day. This reminded me of the work of Seoul-based art collective Shinseungback Kimyonghun. In Cloud Face, they point their cameras to the sky to do some cloud watching. Thanks to Mozilla developer Heather Arthur, facial recognition also exists for cats. that these humans look like cats … and that these cats look like humans: (Photos via Shinseungback Kimyonghun) While I don’t find the results of their project particularly compelling, I am fascinated by these false positives, and the unique perspective of algorithmic vision. Where’s the cat in this photo?
Spaced repetition In the Leitner system, correctly answered cards are advanced to the next, less frequent box, while incorrectly answered cards return to the first box for more aggressive review and repetition. Spaced repetition is a learning technique that incorporates increasing intervals of time between subsequent review of previously learned material in order to exploit the psychological spacing effect. Alternative names include spaced rehearsal, expanding rehearsal, graduated intervals, repetition spacing, repetition scheduling, spaced retrieval and expanded retrieval.[1] Research and applications[edit] The notion that spaced repetition could be used for improving learning was first[citation needed] proposed in the book Psychology of Study by Prof. At the time, spaced repetition learning was principally implemented via flashcard systems. There are several families of algorithms for scheduling spaced repetition: Pimsleur's graduated-interval recall[edit] Software[edit] Some implementations:
