SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA --- In Game Two, the Google machine made a move that no human ever would. And it was beautiful. As the world looked on, the move so perfectly demonstrated the enormously powerful and rather mysterious talents of modern artificial intelligence. But in Game Four, the human made a move that no machine would ever expect. And it was beautiful too. Indeed, it was just as beautiful as the move from the Google machine---no less and no more. It showed that although machines are now ca

The UCSD p-System, Apple Pascal, and a dream of cross-platform compatibility never quite realized I’ve been thinking about the UCSD P-System a lot lately, and I thought I’d write about it a bit, and about bytecode systems more-generally. And along the way, I hope to write some interesting code. What’s the p-System? Way back in 1974-1978, computer scientists at the University of California, San Diego campus developed a new portable operating system, compiler, and tools to run on both the PDP-1

In Brief Thinking Machines Lab, the new AI startup from ex-OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, is reportedly attempting to close one of the largest seed rounds in history. Business Insider reported on Thursday that Thinking Machines Lab has doubled the target for its seed funding round to $2 billion. The round, should it close according to plan, would value the company at “at least” $10 billion, per BI’s reporting.

A good night's sleep is essential if you want to keep up a healthy lifestyle, but it isn't always all that easy to come by. When I was living in an apartment with thin walls, I was constantly surrounded by noise. Between babies wailing, car engines and dogs that wouldn't stop barking, it definitely wasn't what I'd call quiet. Peace and quiet were hard to come by, and it meant that getting a good night's sleep was a real problem. And I'm not alone. According to a recent CNET survey, 46% of US adu

Moore designed his pinball machine to complete the analogy to the Turing machine. The starting position of the pinball represents the data on the tape being fed into the Turing machine. Crucially (and unrealistically), the player must be able to adjust the ball’s starting location with infinite precision, meaning that specifying the ball’s location requires a number with an endless procession of numerals after the decimal point. Only in such a number could Moore encode the data of an infinitely

Since the early days of automatic computing we have had people that have felt it as a shortcoming that programming required the care and accuracy that is characteristic for the use of any formal symbolism.
