| Rat brain used in flight simulatorI know this is old news but I am still of the opinion that living computers will be invaluable in the near future. Plus, this line of research could help reveal some of the mechanisms of the brain that we are still remarkably ignorant of. |
| Uncanny Valley ConceptInteresting take on how "normal" humans react to subhuman/ill humans and how they might react to transhumans or H+. |
| EdgeThis is a fascinating site with a tremendous wealth of diverse topics of scientific interest. |
| Researchers Demonstrate Quantum Teleportation and Memory in TandemIn research that may be a key step toward real-life quantum communication—the transmission of information using atoms, photons, or other quantum objects—researchers created an experiment in which a quantum bit of information is transported across a distance of seven meters and briefly stored in memory. This is the first time that both quantum memory and teleportation, as the information transfer is known, have been demonstrated in a single experiment. |
| [Discussion] Profile surfingWould it be possible to enable voting on articles from a person's profile? Otherwise it can take awhile to troll through old posts to find the correct article or discussion. Also, it would be nice if number of comments were shown correctly.
It would also be nice but not that important if when you attempt to post a duplicate of an article that a link to the original article is provided. Sometimes titles don't match and in a few months it will be much harder to search let alone a few years. |
| Yahoo captcha crackedHow long will it be before any Turing test is vulnerable to normal computers let alone an AI or semi autonomous knowbot? |
| Aaron the cybernetic artistSure its fluff but its fun. It is an interesting question to ponder though...What will be art to a vastly superior intelligence human or otherwise? |
| Girl changes blood typeIf scientists can understand what exactly happened we can hope for better tissue and organ transplants. |
| What is Reality?A honors research paper I wrote for a philosophy class when I was a freshman. |
| Culture effects the way we use our brainI've researched this topic before but from the perspective of AI it just occurred to me that culture could effect how a AI develops and uses its intellect. Would a Chinese AI behave differently than a Norwegian AI? |
| Chemistry breakthroughNow we have the ability to create new proteins...efficiently and effectively which should cheapen molecular manufacturing. Combine this with the other breakthrough allowing control of molecular pathways and you have something truly amazing in my humble opinion.
