This study is not surprising in the least. Brain burns glucose (on a "traditional" diet). On this high-fat diet (assuming that carbohydrates are dropped, and proteins are elevated), glucose is less available and different fats become more a

I don't know if it's worth it for me (or someone like me in the US) to fly over there for two days, especially as a student, but it's cool nonetheless. I wish y'all the best of luck!

Actually... a burger (without the bun, ideally with lots of veggies) will trigger a much less jagged insulin response than a musli bar will. Fats and proteins tend to raise the blood sugar in a much more sustainable fashion... thus allowing

I would argue that the term Podcasting has already been genericized.

Emergence is my favorite science. It's infinitely applicable. Also, this article is another reason why I love this magazine.

White on black and small text makes me cry. I'm sure it would have been interesting, I just couldn't get very far without burning my eyes.

Matthias Felleisen is a brilliant professor at Northeastern University (in case anybody was curious). He's a bit scary though.

It's computing with multiple data centers... You can have a local cloud (a data center that you're in) and an external cloud (an undisclosed number of data centers that are external to you)... but whenever you abstract the number of externa

I meant hardware architecture... as in non-von neumann architecture. That's really neat though.

This makes me sad. AI doesn't need faster number crunching, it needs a more interconnected architecture.

We're not gonna get there using purely modeled AI or purely modeled machine learning. It's too much work to do it that way. We need a biologically inspired computer architecture... one that's non von Neumann; where the stored data and compu

null is icky... In java's arrayList, you can't really tell if a cell hasn't been initialized or has the value "null."

Computational AI in that one tries to compute a top-down model of the mind.

As much as AP courses are cost efficient, they're not good enough. The caliber of a good freshman introductory course ranges from school from school, but on the whole they're much better and more interesting than APs. Then again, my argumen
