  4. Re:NeUral Networks are Wrong Level? on Alicebot Creator Dr. Richard Wallace Expounds · · Score: 1

    There are two levels to the AI problem. The symbolic and the manipulation. Symbols should be used to define meanings to things, and the neural net for processing things. Thats how the brain works. Signals fly around in the frontal lobe and produce some kind of emerging answer. That answer has no meaning outside of the brain, but it produces a stimilus. This stumulus causes the training that humans get as an infant to "make" the learned behavior happen. Or if you like terminate the signal path. In reality nothing terminates, other things just take over. What you need is a neural network that adjusts its weights based on its enviornment, and then produces a canned response at some point. This canned response ideally could be the result of the enviornment. mnjnjmmnjmn,mn,

  5. This is awesome... on Alicebot Creator Dr. Richard Wallace Expounds · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This guy knows what it is about. His response to question #2 pegs the fundamental problem with the CS discipline as an undergraduate or graduate field of study, and maybe the sciences in general. The people that do things by the book, solve the same problem sets and schmooze with the professors the most get the A's the promotions, etc... How many times do I have to solve the same problem? Is this just so the people that waste their study time can be able to bullshti their parents? Someone in my classes actually said "I'm a CS major because my father told me to be. I had no idea what it was" Guess what she still doesn't but that didnt stop her from getting elected to the ACM president for my schols chapter. These type of people need to get the fuck out of CS and go into management so that the other brood of worthless Cs majors, those that think techinal knowledge (defined to be somerhing they read about the linux kernel when they were sitting at home smacking their pud around a d&d table on a friday night) can bitch about them when they get jobs as sysadmins. If you dont like the science go to a techinal school or business school so that people will know they should never take you seriously.

  6. Why? on Notebooks w/ RAID? · · Score: 1

    A two disk raid would only provide redundancy or increased speed for writing. There are no data collection boards I can think of that would produce data at a high enough rate to make ATA100 drives inadequate. I assume this is for some kind of embedded data collect device, in which case you may want to consider an array of wireless transport technologies to an offsite RAID. If is a redundancy concern due to mechanical trouble, look into solid state drives, which are gettig quite large.

  7. What is .NET on Gates Tries to Explain .Net · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    .NET is an Enterprise Tier program specification, similar to J2EE in planned functionality. The enterprise tier is where real applications are written, and by real I mean distributed both logically and computationally. .NET and J2EE allow programmers to connect services such as databases, webservices, webpages and applicatins together into a larger Enterprise Application that is the sum of its parts. If you don't understand most of this you should try a google search and read some specification documents. If you find that reading too dry, that is why you are a 50,000 tech that writes shitty pearl instead of a Genius that doesn't care about money but makes more of it than your whole family anyway.

  11. Think of a water clock on Clockless Computing · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have read this article, and it is a very cool technology. Portions of the UltraSparc IIi have gates (capacitance) in the datapath that let the chip capture state of a computation and finish the result later. This lets the chip do other calculations during the time it would usually be in the wait state. Like compile the bytecode to optimize a loop after iterations have begun, but before it terminates.

    A local lab brought a prototype cube to my school a few years ago. You don't really need to worry about scratches as much as small vibrations causing dispersion of the bean as it travels through the 3-d space. Remember NextSetp on the discovery channel? They had a demo around 1996. It might be the same technology, just in disk form.

  15. About the innovating... on A Lawyer's View on the OpenGL Patent Mess · · Score: 1

    You're Microsoft doesn't innovate shit. A classmate of mine had an internship there, and his job was to go through a software package they had recently acquired from some company in India and remove references to Company X and replace them with Microsoft. It is going to be included in the next release of office. All they are is a marketing company for other people's shit. The only thing they write is the OS, and you have to wonder how much of that is borrowed.

  16. Patent Rights on A Lawyer's View on the OpenGL Patent Mess · · Score: 1

    This is the scary part:
    "Microsoft said it would license the technology on a 1:1 basis, in return for intellectual property from OpenGL licensees, but this could carry its own pitfalls."

    This gives Microsoft the right to use OpenGl code in software that it sells, and a legal foot in the door around the GPL'd code. Wasn't anyone else suspicious when they magically created DirectX a few years ago?

  24. Re:Government administrators: It is your duty. on Countries Ponder: GNU/Linux vs. Microsoft · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You make the mistake of assuming that Government workers are making these programs. Almost all government work is done by contractors i.e. GE, Lockhead Martin etc... There is in fact a movement to use open standards, so that the code is easier to support when the contracts end.

    However, there is no need for you to ask for all documents, and there are such things ass business practices, even in the "not for profit" government sector. What if some of these documents were about you? Do I have the right to view those things about your person just because my government found it prudent to take records? Clearly no. My rights end where your rights begin.

    As taxpayers we get services. If you want to dictate those services run for office.
