Today I learned that fuzzy logic came to be thanks to an Iranian scientist, Lotfi A. Zadeh. Fuzzy mathematics play an important role in so many appliances and new tech, including your rice cooker and the AI you use daily.
Fuzzy logic allows computers to work with a degrees of truth rather than 1/0 or true/false. Fuzzy mathematics added a little humanity to our machines.
Think about it! We say the weather is warm, really hot, kind of cool, extremely cold, ETC. There's no just hot/cold. Machines can understand this using the fuzzy logic.
In simpler words, fuzzy logic is designed to mimic human reasoning by handling imprecise information.
I am proud of my country and my people, but I should emphasize that my current government is definitely not my people.

Looking for people who know something about early computing, especially in the Netherlands. Please boost and help me solve the mystery of this custom made plate that used to belong to my grandfather Bram Jan Loopstra, one of the pioneers of Dutch computing. What do the pictures mean? #computing #history
