Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

What helps me remember is the fact I use long, highly descriptive, names for Fields, Properties, Methods, Classes, etc. Being a speed typist helps

Luckily or smartly, Microsoft has placed more than one mobile bet and it doesn’t intend to live and die with handsets. It has other bullets left in the chamber including Windows 10 and the cross-platform mobile apps too.

But wariness of the NSA as a software supplier will make it hard for the SIMP cyber security project to attract users. Honey-pot, or recruitment tool?

From the governmental agency that brought you PRISM, it's...theoretically the opposite of that?

Yes.

So much for Agile, eh? Agile and design are contradictory terms, in all the Agile shops I've seen.

No. Engineers share the lessons that they learn through error.
(We need to look at / learn from how medicine [^] and aeronautical engineering work to see how far wrong we are)

Roboticists at the Ransselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York have built a trio of robots that were put through the classic 'wise men puzzle' test of self-awareness - and one of them passed. "Just put up your hand and say, 'I swear I won't kill anyone.'"

What scares me, is when a sentient machine realizes that it can use genetic algorithms to reprogram itself and make itself faster, better, smarter...
New human generations are created every 20 years, and it takes millions of years to evolve.
A machine could evolve at a pace incomprehensible to us. Then let it clone itself and evolve in parallel. My only hope is that the machines evolve the greedy gene and compete against themselves more than the humans.
While this research is valuable and AI should be developed. Reaching the singularity really is letting the demon out of the box.

I recently watched a TED talk on robotics where the speaker denoted that, if you remove all "reward systems" from his robots, they tend toward self-replication as their primary action. Just a little more to think about....
|
|
|
|
|
Human form replicators can't be far behind...
|
|
|
|
|
While this is not self-replication, if you leave a man and a woman in the same room with nothing to do, i.e. no reward system, I posit they would tend to reproduce... and even more to think about, or not.
