common way for electrical circuits, computer programs, brain mechanisms and other complicated systems, even cultural or spiritual movements, to behave when one or more important control parameters crosses a threshold. Doyne Farmer of the Los Alamos’s Prediction Company once said...

von Neumann and others on computers came directly not from Turing Machines but through this bypath of neural networks. But simple neural networks didn’t do much. Frank Rosenblatt invented a learning device he called the perceptron, which was a one-layer neural network. In the la...

socially disadvantaged households, but they lag behind (and never catch up) in cognitive development even after controlling for family income. Gorillas can crawl after 2 months, and build their own nests after 2.5 years. They leave their mothers at 3-4 years. Human children are...

Although counter-intuitive when expressed in words, the trajectories that one sees in the graphics of chaotic attractors result from the actions along the “unstable” directions of the stretching distortion; the actions in the otherwise invisible stable directions “iron down” the...

Raider of the Inner Sanctum | 75 To guard against this, the NSA has developed a well-organized system for stratifying its data so that obtaining critical secrets required a rogue employee to burrow into its heavily protected inner sanctum. As part of this system, the NSA divides...

“Well, one thing I’ve always really enjoyed is making things. Out of whatever. It started with modeling as a kid, building models. When computers came along, I started learning programming and realizing the computer was this great tool for making things, making models, dynamic m...

together. They didn’t bother getting married until the summer of 1941. Perhaps because this was less than nine months before I was born, my mother always remained vague when asked their exact wedding date. My parents were an unlikely pair. My mother — bright, lively and energeti...

published today in Nature Physics, is that spatial networks are necessarily dependent on any number of critical nodes whose failure can lead to abrupt — and unpredictable — collapse1. The electric grid, which operates as a series of networks that are defined by geography, is a p...

18.4 SelfModification via Theorem-Proving 323 where the Pi are predicates, and the Ni are schemata corresponding to other nodes of the decision graph (children of the current node). Often the Pi are very simple, implementing for instance numerical inequalities or Boolean equalit...

So we should say it coldly: We have, as of yet, no strategy. We have no shared picture of the world as it might be. You. Me. Our leaders. None of us. And the experience of other, fast-collapsed empires should way on us. “The struggle to survive,” the historian John Darwin has wri...
