    It just recently started picking up steam - but it is doing so absurdly fast.

  7. Re:And who's brain will it model? on Why We Should Build a Supercomputer Replica of the Human Brain · · Score: 1

    Fluid dynamics has the same problem, as you mention via proxy of "a few hundred atoms" - looking in from the outside, it seems that the lessons learned simulating that could be applied here?

  8. Re:One teensy detail on Why We Should Build a Supercomputer Replica of the Human Brain · · Score: 2

    It doesn't have to be physical. You can put all the nodes down at the start, but do not establish linkings.

    Then, you start with the first "node" - I would imagine this would be a brainstem precursor. Instead of multiplying like what happens biologically, the node can pick an inactive neighbor to activate and link with.

    These behaviors should, at a very small scale, be observable - it's like fluid dynamics... simple at the small scale, but when you zoom out and look at the system as a whole...

    Let "neurons" power themselves up, simulating mitosis. Your neurons didn't just appear one day, they grew from a single gamete.

    It doesn't need to be a mirror image, but it needs to "develop" in the same manner.

    The brain is plastic.

    Maybe you missed the part where it mentioned the fact that they -had- redundancy, and that one had also failed?

    I'm sorry, it's incredibly difficult to understand what you're saying when you have your head buried in your rectum.

    Maybe I just don't get it - but even if I had the devices, I don't think I would be interested in such functionality.

    It's hard to have a fatal accident when traffic is moving 5mph when it actually moves.

    I have actually been there, in Rome, in traffic. People act insane, yes - but again it's hard to kill yourself when your car is moving slower than you can run.

  17. Re:Risk vs. Reward? on Drones: Coming Soon To the New Jersey Turnpike? · · Score: 1

    It's there to enforce the speed limit. Your argument is against speed limits, not law enforcement.

    Last I checked, the police don't set the speed limit, they just make sure you obey it.

    Let's also be fair - the Bill Gates of the 80s and 90s is not the Bill Gates of today. People can and do change - and honestly, I would put money down that he always thought he was doing what was right.

  20. Re:Clarke's Three Laws on Has Supercomputing Hit a Brick Wall? · · Score: 1

    If you exist on one side of the galaxy at one moment, and on the other the next, this does not mean you traveled a path between the two points in three-dimensional space as we understand it. Should there be a means to complete that positional change without passing through the space between, then acceleration and velocity do not come into play at all, and so neither does special relativity.
