WHO WHY WE SHOULD LISTEN KIND OF SINGULARITY BASIC ARGUMENT The basic paradigm of Moore’s Law— exponentially increasing improvement— will not only hold true indefinitely for logic circuits but will also apply to countless other technologies. It will lead to a singularity that will enable us to upload our consciousness into machines and, in e ect, live indefinitely. This singularity will occur ...

In 2004, the school board in Dover, Pennsylvania, voted to require its 9th grade science teachers to read a statement questioning the validity of evolutionary theory. “Because Darwin's Theory is a theory,” teachers were instructed to say, “it continues to be tested as new evidence is discovered. The Theory is not a fact. Gaps in the Theory exist for which there is no evidence.” Students in Dove...

Institute for Systems Biology, Seattle, WA 98103, USA. pshannon@systemsbiology.org BACKGROUND: Systems biologists work with many kinds of data, from many different sources, using a variety of software tools. Each of these tools typically excels at one type of analysis, such as of microarrays, of metabolic networks and of predicted protein structure. A crucial challenge is to combine the capa...

Six Myths About The Brain from Sandra Aamodt and Sam Wang, authors of Welcome To Your Brain People get many ideas about how their brains work from entertainment or folk wisdom. But modern neuroscience has proved many of these ideas to be wrong. The facts are more fun - and more useful. Myth 1: You only use 10 percent of your brain. Truth: You use all of your brain.

The Government’s Energy Review has highlighted the role nuclear energy can play in delivering a sustainable energy mix for the UK. Nuclear has come back into the equation given concerns over increase in oil and gas prices, rising CO2 emissions, the potential for blackouts, fossil fuel imports and uncertainty over renewable sources. However, against this backdrop nuclear energy generating capaci...

Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) is a machine learning model developed by Jeff Hawkins and Dileep George of Numenta, Inc. that models some of the structural and algorithmic properties of the neocortex using an approach somewhat similar to Bayesian networks. HTM model is based on the memory-prediction theory of brain function described by Jeff Hawkins in his book On Intelligence. HTMs are clai...
