Yohui, on an iPhone but will do My best. Traditional AI has had 1/2 a century of failed promises. Jeff's numenta had a major shakeup over this very topic and has only been working with biological inspired AI for the past 3 years. Kurzwell a

I'm short on time, so please forgive my rushed answer. It will deliver on all of the failed promises of past AI techniques. Creative machines that actually understand language and the world around it. The "hard" AI problems of vision and co

"We need to meet up" also translates incorrectly "我们需要满足". In fact, I did not originally use a fragment, I wrote a full sentence that Google repeatedly incorrectly translated. I only used a fragment here to simply my example. To avoid the w

This is exactly the kind of flawed behaviorist centric thinking that has held AI back for the past 50 year. Until AI researchers get over their obsession with mathematical constructs with no foundation in biology, like symbolic AI and bayes

> I just can't see Kurzweil being in the same league as Peter Norvig. The problem with Peter Norvig is that he comes from a mathematical background and is a strong defender the use of statistical models that have no biological basis.[1]

I also found it annoying that in all his examples of exponential growth biological system he conveniently left out where the populations crash after reaching an environmental limit. I think it's just as likely that technology will send us b

I have a 3Gs running 5.1 and the new version is much slower than the original. I'd guess about about 5FPS, and 2-3x slower. This app needs some performance optimization.

Yet another fluff article about Wayland. It's too bad. I'd love to see some analysis of its potential and a comparison with OS X Quartz and Windows aero/WDM. How does the performance compare to X? What GPU features does Wayland expose that

Jeff has some fascinating theories on AI that I think have a real chance of taking us out of this rut that AI has been stuck in for the past 60 years. If you want a good overview of what's in his book, "on Intelligence", check out his TED t

According the the article, TI is "eliminating 1,700 jobs in their mobile processor business unit" and will "stop developing new chips." You call it refocusing, I call it to terminate with extreme prejudice. Either way, it's the end of the l

CM7? Why aren't you running ICS? Even the official Sprint firmware has been upgraded. Yes, JavaScript has come a long way with the latest engines. However, it's still a long ways away from being competitive with iOS or Android NDK Apps. Eve

Then get yourself a Nexus Android phone today. The OS is completely open source, with a whole community built around hacking phones, XDA. You can get much better performance out of Java than you could ever dream to with JavaScript. Many of
