Hello everyone, look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening.... Tue May 9, 2006, 7-9 PM - Speakers: Robert Hazen and Patrick Griffin from the Carnegie...
... I really wanted to come to this, but I have a final exam. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has...
... Ditto, except I've got final preparations for the Singularity Summit instead of a final exam. Looks very interesting, though; have fun, guys. See you at...
I also cannot make it again. Too much of the "must do" stuff, no time for hobbies now. But I'm working hard on simplifying my life and I'm planning to attend...
While I would normally attend (and this sounds like a fascinating topic), I will be attending a graduation ceremony for a friend. I'll hear about how great...
Hi everyone, We'll be sorry to miss a few of you this evening. The event is still on, I just spoke with Robert Hazen and he is definitely interested in...
Thanks for a great event tonight everyone. For follow-up, Patrick's contact info is: Patrick Griffin <p.griffin@...> I'll email a link to the MP3 from...
I've had a little time to think about the discussion I was having with Ben about the generality of the human cortex. I think the confusion we were having has...
Dear Future Salon Members, Our next meeting will be Wed May 24 @ 7 PM (two weeks earlier than usual). SPEAKER: Prof. Hugo de Garis "Brain Builder" - ...
Hi all, I noticed the AGIRI site is down, so in case you want directions to the DC Future Salon (where Dr. Hugo de Garis will speak about the potential of AI...
Wow, I can actually try to make it to this one! They usually land on the same week I am in Florida each month. -- Harvey Newstrom <HarveyNewstrom.com> CISSP...
Hi folks, ... I'm sorry I could not make this one. ... Was Hugo convincing when talking about the threat? We recently touched the topic at the AGIRI workshop....
I'd like to expand on a couple of points I made during the discussion. 1. Moore's Law isn't real. Yes, I agree that technology is advancing faster and...
Hi, ... I believe the idea is to se quantum "encryption" as an extra layer of safety on top of ordinary encryption. If one is transferring N messages using a...
... What you describe is only true of today's non-quantum computers. There is no ordinary encryption that can't be easily cracked by quantum computers. This...
On topic #3 (related to Artilect War), I completely agree with all of Harvey's points. (this may all be redundant, for which I apologize, but this is getting...
... I don't believe that anyone analyzing Moore's Law has claimed that these metrics track an exponential at a monthly or yearly level. But at a longer scale,...
... I am not talking about monthly or yearly. Take a look at <http://oregonstate.edu/~barnesc/documents/cpu_speed.pdf> for the speed of Intel chips over the...
Looks to me like the main slow down in growth has been 2003 to present, which is a pretty short time frame and a length of time that is no longer than many...
Regarding processing speed and Moore's Law, you may wish to consider the amount of "work" being done in a given time, instead of pure clock speed. A doubling...
... I would love to see such a 50 year graph and a historical comparison showing that we are still on track. -- Harvey Newstrom <HarveyNewstrom.com> CISSP CISA...
... I would be encouraged to see Moore's Law finally fail. The fact that Moore's Law has held for so long is a sign of stagnation, not of increasing change....
Phil, A few responses to your (entertainingly pessimistic) points... 1) IMO, the money pumped into the semiconductor industry is a GOOD THING ... I agree that...
... I don't mean to argue against what you call Transcension. That's why I don't believe that the trend I described will continue - because these technologies...
