That's true. The brain has billions of neurons, and trillions of synapses. Parallel doesn't even come close to describing the density of connections, or the method of "computation" done by the brain. But it was an easy analogy. Don't look t

A lot of the challenges in making driverless cars has been in visual object recognition, which is probably the "visual post-processing" you mean. It is important to note that humans, and other mammals, are very hard-wired to process vision

100 ms / 10 ms = 10 steps But that's a straw man argument. The brain is a massively parallel net of neurons connected by synapses. Saying that it takes "10 steps" to respond to a stimulus is like saying that a GPU only applies a few pixel s

Hurd is still using Mach? I don't see the point if it's just going to cheat around the IPC problem like OS X did. And in the past decade, there have been more promising microkernels, like L4. Unless I missed something and there's still a go

Related to the idea of a "freedom zone" is that of a university "bubble," where the institution's endowment and funding allows the needs and interests of research to ignore what's beyond its walls. But while scientists may want to publish i

Two photons interfering is just two photons interfering; that's not measurement. More precisely, the wavelike photon, which is the "cause" of the interference pattern, hits a component of a photodetector, which generates a voltage and sends

It seems to me that this news misses a more fundamental point about game balance and the player base in EVE Online. To those unfamiliar with EVE Online: EVE is a "skill-based" spaceship MMO where instead of gaining XP by completing missions
