…red an important book in its time, it ran counter to the aspirations of many of Wiener’s colleagues, including John von Neumann and Claude Shannon, who were interested in the commercialization of the new technologies. Second, computer pioneer John McCarthy disliked Wiener and ref...

there is a constant structure with some activity going on inside it. When von Neumann’s abstract machine reproduced, it made a copy of itself in another region of the plane. Within the “machine” was a horizontal line of squares which acted as a finite linear tape, using a subset...

Learning Corporation. Previously, Mr. Neumann was with TCW / Crescent Mezzanine where he completed mezzanine financings primarily for leveraged buyout transactions. Prior thereto, Mr. Neumann worked in the investment banking division of Deutsche Bank (Bankers Trust) in the Financ...

…omputational systems—as now they have been. Today’s dominant technologies were developed in the world of Turing and von Neumann, rather than the world of Wiener. In the first industrial revolution, energy from a steam engine or a water wheel was used by human workers to replace...

…s became a data generator. The result was an exponential rather than a linear rate of knowledge accumulation. John von Neumann also has a cameo in Zhe Human Use of Human Beings, for game theory. What Wiener missed here was von Neumann’s seminal role in digitizing computation. Wh...

rapid development of software without standards of correctness has opened up many routes to exploit von Neumann architecture’s storage of data and instructions in the same memory. One of the most common routes, known as “buffer overrun,” involves an input number (or long string o...

… logic, included Thomas Hobbes and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. The New Testament prophets included Alan Turing, John von Neumann, Claude Shannon, and Norbert Wiener. They delivered the machines. Alan Turing wondered what it would take for machines to become intelligent. John von...

…bits to the world of atoms. By digitizing not just designs but the construction of materials, the same lessons that von Neumann and Shannon taught us apply to exponentially increasing fabricational complexity. I’ve defined digital materials to be those constructed from a discret...

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...

…urn out to be easy. You don’t know until you try. In the 1950s, partly inspired by conversations with Wiener, John von Neumann introduced the notion of the “technological singularity.” Technologies tend to improve exponentially, doubling in power or sensitivity over some interva...
