[Wired: Wired Science] Supercomputers Break Petaflop Barrier, Transforming Science ...: Seams technology is reaching a peak as there is never anything ground breaking and only a bunch of useless crap ever "breaks through". Here's an idea...instead of blowing a ton of mone only slightly updating something a bazillion times, why don't they save that money for awhile and then build a MUCH advanced product?

[Machines Like Us - Science News - Science at the speed of thought] Design is bad -- or why artificial intelligence needs artificial ...: The meaning it makes of that knowledge is directly related to how that knowledge helps it survive, reproduce, or achieve other goals it forms for itself. Many AI problems relate to how an AI can deal with logic or natural language, but this is like worrying about how to make space suits for a walk on the moon when you haven’t even invented rockets yet.

[Uncommon Descent] Can we make software that comes to life? | Uncommon Descent: That said, quite a lot of work is going on into re-configurable computing including one strand that uses genetic algorithms to generate functional logic systems using damaged parts of re-configurable chips (FPGA’s) Other strands use other techniques but they are all concerned with making more damage tolerant systems that can either repair or adapt to damage. A huge amount of work in robotics, AI and ALife is actually about engineering and hardware, not just general purpose computers and their software.

[Charlie's Diary] Charlie's Diary: The 21st century: FAQ: I still believe that the ideas behind Zuboff's simulation of the brain's connections, and uploading's simulations of the connections and the neurons, are incoherent, and can't produce cases which can be examined usefully by philosophical tools, because they can't exist in the physical world as we know it. Examining counterfactuals is a well-respected philosophical tradition, but it fails when we're attempting to make statements about systems which do exist in the real world, like brains and minds.

[Coding Horror] Coding Horror: Programmers Don't Read Books -- But You Should: Many who teach themselves grasp at disjointed code samples provided by googling for specific answers to specific problems and they tend to struggle mightily with attaining even the smallest bit of maturity as an engineer. Many who learn through formal education at colleges and universities receive either shoddy educations from a system that has discovered it can make more money by lowering standards than from producing competent professionals or they receive inapt educations which leave graduates poorly trained for the real world (i.e.

[Comments for The Anthropik Network] The Anthropik Network » Answer to Gillis: When he doesn’t actually ignore the point that the Earth is a deathtrap ticking down to some inevitable planet-scouring cataclysm, he conjures up images of either a) hunter-gatherers building the infrastructure to transport a sizable portion of the biosphere into space at such time as an escape route is needed, or b) a bizarre spiritual migration in which shamans lead us into the Dreamtime just ahead of the big dinosaur-killing asteroid or supernova shockwave.

[HBS Working Knowledge] Why Don't Managers Think Deeply? ”” HBS Working Knowledge: Once a certain degree of familiarity with the other has been established, the 'rugby-like' style can be completely adopted, 'openness' being one of the strongest aspects of this sport (national rugby teams are composed of players of different nationalities, whereas national football teams do not allow such a mix).In this way, I think there would be a come-back of the primary form of 'a group' introduced by Mayo, which I held to be the 'healthiest' and, therefore, the most effective and efficient: "it happened that the six individuals became a team, and the team began spontaneously and wholeheartedly to collaborate on the experiment. As a consequence, the workers felt their participation was voluntary [...] and were happy knowing they were working with neither constraints from above, nor limitations from below".As you can see, this is only a theoretical solution, I do not really know if it could ever find a practical application, above all because, as I said at the beginning, it comes from the culture and I have not had the possibility yet to investigate more deeply in the literature and practice of all of the aspects of my research.

[blog maverick] The Stimulus Plan Update « blog maverick: As is usually the case with any blog post, the vast majority of people don’t actually read the post before they write a response. So the vast majority were dismissed because they did not quality under the required terms.   Of those that did meet the requirements, I gave priority to those that were already operating.  My feeling is that if a business is profitable , or close to it,  they are more likely to know how to use the capital to their advantage than a startup would be.

Crushing Signup Load = Sad! - Features ...: Check the blog and look at all the system problems over the last month - then add a few hundred thousand users to the already stressed load, what do you think the SL experiance is going to be like from here on out? The lag is already so bad today I can't leave my lot, nothing I like better in a game than to be trapped on a 4096m square with the rest of the world crashing all around me.

[Comments for patrick.net] patrick.net » Blog Archive » New Thread: After all, the fight between the all-too-smart US occupation apparatus in Iraq and the brainless Iraqi insurgents have once again proven that only a bunch of lunatics will give a Nobel price for that useless concept called Game Theory”¦(because of course only the good guys have brains and can adapt to a changing situation)

[Charlie's Diary] Charlie's Diary: Shaping the future: Privacy technology -- and especially the concept and mechanics of selective revelation -- mostly began as a component of the Total Information Awareness (TIA) project, which was officially killed in 2003 by US Senate bill. When the politicians did that, they simultaneously wrote a secret annex of that bill continuing government funding of every technology EXCEPT TIA's privacy component, either making the relevant technologies into black projects at places like NSA (e.g.
