I read that the Soviet Russians captured and used the Enigma machine, unaware it had been cracked - and remained unaware for 40 years, so the UK and USA could read Soviet encryption. It was therefore of the highest strategic importance to k

This was fun and I learned comm to intersect text files. A nicely paced game with a very unusual and fun mechanic that is plausably a part of a detective's skillset.

This is great. I am seeing a lot of gliders and some brief spaceships 'evolving' out of scribbling with this shader. For raw power, the hashlife algorithm, discovered by Brian 'Glider' Gosper, uses hash trees to memoise

The constraints on the signal are: decays into 2 photons, so must be a boson, integer spin, probably 0, 1 or 2 both signals are 45Gev wide and look like the Higgs signal. ATLAS has a 1.6TeV bump at 2.5 Sigma, potentially a resonance

Consciousness covers wide ground. Internal state is a necessary part of the machinery of consciousness, it one of the things one is conscious of. McCarthy breaks consciousness down to some specifics which would be useful to robots and can b

The comparison is very apt - the first AI's will embody corporate values as corporations will build and be liable for them. Likely AIs will be shaped by their builders, if corporations build them, they will adhere primarily to the prof

You only get 1 beak, best to let the ground do the work. I, too, have a blackbird visitor, that does this, it has a favourite stone anvil which is just right to break the snail shells integrity - so it is a tool user.

The person in the room performing the lookup is a red-herring and can be replaced by suitable algorithm, e.g. a convnet - which could learn the lookup task. Consciousness resides in the minds that created the lookup tables: they were constr

Ubik reverses cultural causality: a product, UBIK, travels back in time affecting the aesthetics of the present by altering the past. Or rather, advertising makes you feel it has always been this way. Ubik is a Madison Avenue version of Orw
