This is a fake story. The LA Times, and Slashdot have been duped. I scrounged goldenpalace and searched google and could find nothing about this bot tournament. If I could, I would sign up for it. Does anyone have proof this is true?
check this out. I was going to apologize for my mistake to this guy, I didnt realize he meant users serving as libraries, but he comes and harrasses me about my bad maths on AIM.
I'm pretty sure that an incredibly large portion of P2P users don't have the capacity for 35,000 MP3s and 200 movies. thats a lot of space. a hell of a lot. my guess would be between 700 GB and 1 TB
algorithm patenting has been going on for more than 50 years, maybe more than 100. Specifically in the sense of patenting processes, in manufacturing, or electrical circuits. GM has done it much more than them. You have a grave misunderstanding of patent law.
I'm so glad that there are some people out there who can help quell the idiotic fears of how AI will be inherently evil for whatever nonsensical reason. I salute you sir.
I'd be very interested in seeing information confirming anything close to your generous 1% firing at a time, and how this is integrated with the rest of the system for signal processing, who fires when, etcetera.
I think, however, that we need to take into account the fact that more neurons doesn't mean smarter at all. Take a look at whales, for instance, with brains much larger than our own, and thusly, more neurons. A whale can't go on Slashdot and say "OMGZ first post guys" much less something of human level intelligence.
(Apologies to creationists for the following...)It took billions of years of evolution, all the way back to the primordial ooze(or whatever) to get to the point of having a species with the genetic mappings to produce the neural networks that allow us to learn, remember, think, and process as we humans do. I think this would add a significant number of zeroes to your processor calculation, even when we incorporate a design based on our own incredible thinking.
The author says that they should stop throwing away all of their partially faulty chips, and then later says that they recycle some of them. They aren't throwing all of them away. Secondly, I for one appreciate their adherence to perfection. A few messed up connections might not matter at one second, but the effect becomes exponentially more significant versus a functional processor of the same make over time.
A robot helper that doesn't have to be operated by a team of a dozen or so scientist! I remember seeing an Asimo presentation at some museum, and they had asserted that it was autonomous(actually said it was "capable" of autonomous activity, with no proof) but required a team of learned individuals to perform menial tasks. not very efficient if you ask me
"Pirates are legit users. People fight this stupid IP/Copyright bullshit by continuing to copy and share information. "
Pirates are most certainly not legit users. Sure, they believe that you shouldn't have to pay for entertainment that artists and or professionals spent time on, in the pursuit of earning money, to feed themselves, get richer, or whatever. You don't like the idea of Microsoft stealing code that was written for Linux, or is owned and created by other people, do you? Music is just the same. Piracy is simply theft, and continued theft is not the answer. If you have a problem with intellectual property and copyright laws you should become active in telling your friends, family members, and congressmen(if your in the states, otherwise adjust accordingly) how you think it should be, and why they should agree with you.
I'm in high school. Bill is absolutely right(I know I'm a supporter of him, but he is wrong sometimes...don't bother responding solely to this little excerpt to tell me what you think he's done wrong though). I do OK in high school, but with my extremely severe ADD, and mild neuromuscular handicap(myoclonic dystonia) that hampers my ability to perform schoolwork, I get what is called an IEP(individualized education profile) that is a legally binding document drawn by the school, the schools child study team, my parents, and myself, detailing changes in my curriculuum, ways I take tests, etcetera, to accomodate me. I bend the fuck out of the rules to get by. I think that our school system needs to be reevaluated to where it works for everyone, and this clearly won't be a straightforward system. The system needs to be flexible, to the individual, and I think that if the resources could be provided, all students could be periodically reviewed, and have individualized education profiles.
I'm experienced in going through the system, not designing it though.
Windows didn't work? I beg to differ. If you accept reality, you'd realize that a gigantic portion of the population uses windows over any other OS. And Bill was right in this case. Obsolete things can be fixed.
Though, you bring to mind a quote from the MythBusters, "I reject your reality and substitute my own!"
Algorithms, no. Unless you consider a computer program performing delineation, or some other method of prime hunting an algorithm(technically it is!), ex: the Sieve of Erastothnes
They have a link to a Princeton study about Global Conciousness at the bottom. Upon reading information at that link, I think this proves that not everything coming out of Princeton is gold, unfortunately.
Slashdot Mirror
so that would mean density times volume?
my head is too large for the commonly available hat sizes.
no it was more along the lines of "Neil Blender is a tool"

My apologies! stupid trollies. i'm kind of dazed and confused at the moment anyway, so please forgive me

you failed to mention that Microsoft and IBM are companies. Linux is not. point defeated

yeah, but do they boot linux?
There is no way in hell you can compare Microsoft to the soviet union... just shut up now

ah yes, recorded music is what I meant

I'm still waiting for GoogleOS. I predict 2007
yeah, because murder is funny!

No, it is the largest confirmed prime. You can't compare unconfirmed primes versus confirmed primes
Algorithms, no. Unless you consider a computer program performing delineation, or some other method of prime hunting an algorithm(technically it is!), ex: the Sieve of Erastothnes
