[administration space] Who Cares If There Is Life In Other Planets? | administration space: STUDLESS WINTER TIRES – Viking Lander parachute shroud material is adapted and used to manufacture radial tires, increasing the tire material’s chainlike molecular structure to five times the strength of steel should increase tread life by 10,000 miles.

[The Daily Galaxy: Great Discoveries Channel] NexGen AI -A Threat to Human Civilization?: Inventor and author Raymond Kurzweil is one of the forces behind SU, which we presume will have the most awesomely equipped pranks of all time ("Check it out, we replaced the Professor's chair with an adaptive holographic robot!"), and it isn't the only institutions he's helped found.  There's also the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence whose sole function is based on the exponential AI increases predicted. 

[Online Colleges] 100 Free Cutting-Edge Courses that Didn't Exist When You Were in ...: These courses will help you learn about the implications and applications of this as well as .Nano-life: An Introduction to Virus Structure and Assembly: Learn more about the structure and DNA of viruses and how they can be taken apart, put together and studied to better understand how they work.

[Next Big Future] George Church and Harvard Team Create Synthetic Ribosome: Church said that being able to create a ribosome means also being able to tweak it so it better fits industrial needs. One possible use would be to create mirror-image proteins that would be less susceptible to breakdown by enzymes, making them longer-lived.

[Breaking News] Scientists achieve first step in converting solar energy using ...: WASHINGTON - Buildings that use daylight as the primary source of workplace illumination provide for a more comfortable, productive and healthier environment for workers, according to a research. And keeping these benefits in mind, researchers at UNC Charlotte have made new advances in harnessing daylight in the design for commercial buildings, in order to enhance the environmental impact of these concrete structures.

[ETH Life - All articles] ETH Zurich researchers copy bacteria: They look likespirals with tiny heads, and screw through the liquid like miniature corkscrews.When moving, they resemble rather ungainly bacteria with long whip-like tails. Theycan only be observed under a microscope because, at a total length of 25 to 60µm, they are almost as small as natural flagellated bacteria.

[Pink Tentacle] Ultra-futuristic concept vehicles ”” Pink Tentacle: That is, unless the people rise up against the government and the corporations and end the oil war (where the USA is going to try and take over Iran before China and Russia make a deal to buy their oil) and instead focus on solar, wind, and hydrodynamic power, and abandon the silly hydrogen fuel cel and go back to battery driven electric vehicles…

[ScienceBlogs Channel : Brain & Behavior] The Blue Brain : The Frontal Cortex: I am interested in Ryan's comment (#4) where he speaks of Alva Noe's theories of consciousness as an activity that occurs in the interaction of brain, body and world. I know that Jonah posted his review of Noe's book "Out of Our Heads" this winter, but I'd really like to hear more about how this book of philosophy is received by the science community, and who in this community accepts and is taking action on Noe's idea that a fundamental change in the approach to brain research is necessary to developing AI such as the blue brain.

[Accelerating Future] Accelerating Future » Superintelligence Is Likely to Happen ...: That aside, you are basically saying that Kurzweil’s entire argument is absurd. Just because (it sounds like) you chased an unfounded dream many years too early, doesn’t mean that your jaded view of reality is really reality and that the people who subscribe to the ideas of a genius like Kurzweil are absurd.

[Madeleine St Just] Madeleine St Just - KR Fan Fiction: Perspectives: Leaving behind the maintenance bays and test chamber, the only departments familiar to him from working with Kitt, Michael peered in at the clean room, a fluorescent hive of activity behind hermetically sealed glass partitions. This was the controlled environment where work on Kitt’s CPU and other central components was carried out, he knew.

Nelson - “Artificial ...: The persistence of structures or patterns of matter, including rocks, stellar material, and life-forms boils down to simple possibility: A pattern that is possible, given physical law and past configurations of matter, will exist, regulated only by stochastic factors embodied in the fundamental fabric of the universe.

[Accelerating Future] Accelerating Future » Specialized vs. General Molecular Assemblers ...: On the issue of converting sand (silicon) into mind, it matters not as much when exactly it happens as the magnitude of its impact. Instead of perpetually lurking around the human-level of intelligence and capability, I would expect AIs to skyrocket in capability far past the human level, limited only by their consideration for the welfare of other beings (if such consideration is indeed present).

[Peer Review on Science Blogs] Ray Kurzweil Wants to Be a Robot : Pharyngula: Kurzweil's favoured approach is functional brain modelling (software simulation of a brain, at the level of the interactions between neurons), and he extrapolates from the interesting work going on in this area, very naively I think, to get his range of dates for a "singularity". Apart from anything else, he overlooks the fact that human intelligence requires more than a brain: that brain has to be integrated in a body, and a physical and social external world, and educated.

[Comments for Cosmic Variance] The Meaning of “Life” | Cosmic Variance | Discover Magazine: Long before a BB could emerge out of a chance quantum fluctuation, the universe would have moved to a state where molecular structure was impossible, unless there was a new big bang. An infinite growth in organisation and information .
