Between Faith and Reason

There is something that bothers me when it comes in argumentation of religion. The first is about the stand point which some blatant arguers cannot comprehend and just say without ever consider on which stand point. For this type of thing is I can't say nothing but: nevermind. You must build your conclusion from the same ground or it would ended up with circular reasoning.

The second problem is the people whom interpret some of the terms with their own understanding, in which the misunderstanding arise. Now, some of them actually misunderstand about the term because of their overall argumentative. For instance, people would say Christianity is not reasonable. Amusingly, when I got them on discussion some of them would say ended up like saying Christianity is to difficult to comprehend. Of course, some of them also would find another reason to break the code. That's their belief which we don't trespass.

What is a reason anyway?

Some may think that reason is something that you describe to define something. So, everything must be in common sense to be told as a reason.

What is a common sense?

People are just like AI, reading things and stat occurences and study the pattern they encounter. Each pattern must be defined and like the DNA strain, people make labels of the common thing and make it as the default of stuff going on.

Default?

Yes, common sense actually a default set of action that statistically happens of because some series of actions. Now, default doesn't means that it is the only thing away. Ian Malcolm of Jurrasic Park describe it as simple as this:

When a drop of water poured down, it will make a way. Then, after that all of the drops that is dropped in that point would go down with the same path. But, there would be a chance, because of the factor of hairy hand or something else, that make the later drop in the same spot use another path.

We won't go deeper with chaotic math theorem. This would show you that series of previous action would lead with high probability of an occuring of an act. Bear in mind though, high probability doesn't mean that it would lead you into a 100% acurrate. It only lead you into certain feeling of a high percentage of a successful act.

Another thing to describe it is to say that common sense is the way you build your pattern of act and then try to make it general like theorem and apply it into similar act.

So, reason is there to describe what is happening and why it is happen. You could make a reason to be a seed of another reason based on the fact that already happen. And compellingly, it would lead you into acceptance.

But, there are flaw in reason. It define something that defined. Now, how about if something is not defined just like the future. Reason may success to describe anything that exist, but it will fail at certain point where something is undefined.

At the time, faith is what all about.

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

Installing Goodix Fingerprint Reader Driver on Fedora

I currently have a Lenovo Thinkpad L14 laptop equipped with fingerprint. I was `belok` from KDE Neon to use Fedora 40 because of someone. Now I am tempted to enable my fingerprint: lsusb | grep -i fingerprint Bus 001 Device 004: ID 27c6:55b4 Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. Fingerprint Reader Dump the firmware Assuming this is a fresh install, lets do some magic by getting some dependencies: sudo dnf install gcc git python-pip python-devel openssl Let's get the source code: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/goodix-fp-linux-dev/goodix-fp-dump.git cd goodix-fp-dump Create an isolated Python environment: python -m venv .v source .v/bin/activate Do the magic: sudo su pip install -r requirements.txt python run_55b4.py exit There are some python scripts available. I run run_55b4.py because my device ID is 27c6: 55b4 . It will spell some nonsense, which is a good thing. That nonsense actually the firmware captured by our device. Also, I typed exit becaus...

Vibe Coding Workflow

I am currently working for having A.I. workflow for generating projects. There are two things that need to be tackled for that: 1) hallucinations; and 2) old codes. I have met several patterns to tackle those two and just need to formulate the patterns into a general flow. Thankfully, a video of building fullstack app using A.I. from Raf Dev channel inspired me to make the formulation. He used multiple A.I. engines to his need: He used Google Gemini to onboard his ideas and summarized it. He forked a boilerplate of NextJS project into a new project. Then, he added the summary from Google Gemini into a file for context. He used QWEN Code, a QWEN3 code engine that is a fork from Gemini CLI, to build the project. When working with an existing project, A.I. will take the whole project as a context. It also means that it will stick with the version used by the libraries. It also will try to update its knowledge based on the common pattern in the project. Most of the time, it will use the c...
