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.

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.
