   I have said for years that the first truly general-level AI will not be robots or purely digital ghosts but will instead be...US. Human cognition bolstered by direct, physical integration with increasingly sophisticated computing devices wi

   I'm glad that Mozilla has responded in this way. My disappointment remains, however. I am one of those not affected at all by the Looking Glass extension but still, my trust is Mozilla (which has been eroding as of late) has suffered g

   It has happened to me three times in less than a year. Thankfully, I have been recording nearly all of my conversations for quite some time. In EVERY instance, I was treated like a piece of garbage until I managed to produce my recordings f

   As a scientist myself, I don't care nearly as much about possibility as I do about probability. At present and without extraordinary evidence to the contrary, I see human error as vastly more probably than "inertialess technology&

   I have been recording the vast majority of my conversations with people for about a year now. Doing so has saved me not once, not twice, but three times from blatantly false allegations regarding my speech/behavior. I HATE living my li

   The language used in this article is so misleading it resembles pseudoscience. In a scientific context, memories, motivation, and cognition require a central nervous system and the life forms generally regarded as "plants" do not

    Whatever else may be said, I'm glad to see an adult taming responsibility for their own errors like...well, an adult.

    Is your current work challenging? You said repeatedly that it is easy and enjoyable but, if you aren't being challenged enough, work can begin to feel pointless even if the work itself is enjoyable. In my experience, overcoming reg

    For those who prefer a more direct (although less poetic) version of Fowler's work, I refer you to "The Sense of Style" by Steven Pinker.

    I was always taught that a Masters wasn't intended to prepare one to be competent at novel research; that's what the PhD is for. A Masters, based on this view, is designed to instill expertise in a field's main body of theory

    Thank you for all you do! I am still on my first System76 laptop and I am continually impressed with its quality (and Pop OS is sweeeet!).
