RJ-11 Amazing Techno Futures. Archive for December, 2008. Random thoughts on Google maps. As I headed out on the road for SearchSOA.com, I needed driving directions. Needed to find the bucolic burgh of, well let’s call it Medfordshire, Massachusetts. Where it is does not really matter. Everything is going well. It is the next morning. Time to go. Alas, I’d left my Google Map print out back at the office. No problem, of course, I go online and get directions again. December 21, 2008 at 3:07 am. Walmart, I...

RJ-11 Amazing Techno Futures. Archive for March, 2014. Although I respect John Markoff’s expertise and reporting on technical matters, the end-of-year story on things neural, “Brainlike Computers Learning from Experience,. Are we talking about memristors. Are we talking about synapse chips. Carver Mead appears as the nomer of the neuromorphic. They do seem to be non-Von, but that covers a lot of ground. The online story does point to some useful sources. Http:/ cbmm.mit.edu/. March 11, 2014 at 12:07 am.

RJ-11 Amazing Techno Futures. Archive for December, 2011. Imitating the brain, in silicon. MIT researchers have created a semiconductor chip that is said to imitate how the brain’s neurons adapt in response to new information. Poon is the senior author of a paper describing the chip in the. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The researchers work relies on the their understanding of how a presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters, such as glutamate and GABA, which bind to receptors on a ...

RJ-11 Amazing Techno Futures. Archive for November, 2008. Make way for the PetaScale Jaguar. It is an upgrade. But way up. How about a quadrillion mathematical calculations per second? Than ‘1.64 petaflops, n’cest pa? Yes, the folks at Oak Ridge have a hot-rod CPU. The makers call it Jaguar and mark it the world’s first petaflop system dedicated to open research. So apparently there’s more flops in the dark. Cray is on the move on other fronts as well. They have just announced. Availability of NVIDIA Tes...

RJ-11 Amazing Techno Futures. Archive for February, 2013. I hate meces to pieces. Had a friend in the biology trade who once fulminated, “I am so sick of mice.” He felt the hegemony of mice in biological research had, well, gone too far. Today in “Mice Fall Short as Test Subjects for Deadly Illness”. Evidence buttresses his view. A study now says testing mice misleads. Are mice the species to surrogate for study of human disease?

RJ-11 Amazing Techno Futures. Archive for August, 2014. The long history of neural networks took a new turn this week. It is another spin in the up-and-down fortunes for neurals, which were first proposed as a computational model in the 1940s by Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts. An earlier version of the chip had bad one neurosynaptic core containing 256 neurons. With 5.4 billion transistors, the new chip is the biggest chip IBM has ever made, and its creators liken it to a “supercomputer ...Teva Pharma...
