Eyecatchers-200: New system can help machines think like humans

New system can help machines think like humans

Scientists have developed a new type of neural network chip that can dramatically improve the efficiency of teaching machines to think like humans. The network, called a reservoir computing system, could predict words before they are said during conversation, and help predict future outcomes based on the present.

Reservoir computing systems, which improve on a typical neural network’s capacity and reduce the required training time, have been created in the past with larger optical components. Researchers from University of Michigan in the US created their system using memristors, which require less space and can be integrated more easily into existing silicon-based electronics.

Facts and Figures-98: Full-body Scanners

A full-body scanner is a device that detects objects on a person's body for security screening purposes, without physically removing clothes or making physical contact. Depending on the technology used, the operator may see an alternate-wavelength image of the person's naked body, or merely a cartoon-like representation of the person with an indicator showing where any suspicious items were detected. For privacy and security reasons, the display is generally not visible to other passengers, and in some cases is located in a separate room where the operator cannot see the face of the person being screened. Unlike metal detectors, full-body scanners can detect non-metal objects, which became an increasing concern after various airliner bombing attempts in the 20002.

Starting in 2007, full-body scanners started supplementing metal detectors at airports and train stations in many countries.

What is this site about?

It's about learning a new habit: Writing. Every. Day.

I've long been inspired by an idea I first learned about in The Artist's Way called morning pages. Morning pages are three pages of writing done every day, typically encouraged to be in "long hand", typically done in the morning, that can be about anything and everything that comes into your head. It's about getting it all out of your head, and is not supposed to be edited or censored in any way. The idea is that if you can get in the habit of writing three pages a day, that it will help clear your mind and get the ideas flowing for the rest of the day. Unlike many of the other exercises in that book, I found that this one actually worked and was really really useful.

I've used the exercise as a great way to think out loud without having to worry about half-formed ideas, random tangents, private stuff, and all the other things in our heads that we often filter out before ever voicing them or writing about them. It's a daily brain dump. Over time, I've found that it's also very helpful as a tool to get thoughts going that have become stuck, or to help get to the bottom of a rotten mood.

In Lighter Vein-9: The Judicial System


This happened in some other country.

A cow was running away from the jungle.

An elephant stopped the cow and asked for the reason behind the panic.

The cow said: Govt has ordered to catch all buffaloes in the jungle.

Elephant asked: But you are a cow, why are you running?

Cow replied: I know I am a cow. But if they catch me, it will take 20 years to prove that I am a cow and not a buffalo!

Now, the elephant also started running with the cow.

Eyecatchers-199: Photosynthesis began 1.25 billion years ago on earth

Photosynthesis began 1.25 billion years ago on earth

The world’s oldest algae fossis are a billion years old, according to a study which found that the basis for photosynthesis in today’s plants was set in place 1.25 billion years ago.

The study published in the journal, Geology, may resolve a long-standing mysery over the age of fossilized algae, Bangiomorpha pubescens, which were first discovers in rocks in Arctic  Canada in 1990.

The microscopic organism is believed to be the oldest known direct ancestor of modern plants and animals, but it was poorly dated, with estimates placing it somewhere between million and 1.2 billion years.

A Thought for Today-700: Touch someone's life

Your talent is wasted if no one knows about it.  You will be dishonouring yourself and the universe, if you kept it to yourself, thinking it is modest to do so.  Whatever your gift is, let it touch someone else’s life – www.bespiritualandrich.com
