De nieuwste belofte in het land van de zoekmachines doet alles radicaal anders, zegt de uitvinder en naamgever ervan, Stephen Wolfram. Om te beginnen zoekt zijn Wolfram Alpha niet simpel in een database, maar berekent een antwoord op een zoekvraag. Hiervoor maakt het gebruik van wiskundige modellen. Huidige zoekmachines zoeken alleen naar tekstfragmenten die mogelijk relevant zijn voor de zoekvraag. De zoekvraag wordt niet echt begrepen door de software, en er is al evenmin begrip van de onderliggende structuur van de doorzochte kennis.

Deze aanpak zorgt ervoor dat een googler - bijvoorbeeld - in principe alleen kan zoeken naar antwoorden op vragen die al eerder zijn gesteld. Het stellen van nieuwe vragen levert zelden iets vruchtbaars op. Dat was voor wiskundige Wolfram reden om met een eigen zoekmachine te komen; een zoekmachine die menselijke kennis en taal werkelijk begrijpt. Wolfram Alpha wordt in mei dit jaar gelanceerd Maar wat heeft een gebruiker aan de intelligente zoekmachine?

How Google Stole Control Over Content Distribution By Stealing L. There is so much misunderstanding flying around about the economics of content on the web and the role of Google in the web’s content economy that it’s making my head hurt. So let’s see if we can straighten things out. Google isn’t stealing content from newspapers and other media companies. It’s stealing their control over distribution, which has always been the engine of profits in media. Google makes more money than any other media company on the web because it has near monopoly control over content distribution (i.e. like a metro newspaper in the pre web era). Those who argue that Google is a friend to content owners because it sends them traffic overlook the basic law of supply and demand.

The value of “traffic” is entirely relative. The more content there is on the web, the less money every content creator makes, and the more money Google makes by taking a piece of that transaction. Nick Carr sums up the problem well: But without those links, without those “votes,” Google has nothing. TweetTweet.me - The List. Ensembli. Schizophrenic Brains Not Fooled by Optical Illusion | Wired Scie. Dima and Jonathan Roiser of University College London wanted to understand why people with schizophrenia aren't fooled. They put 13 schizophrenia patients and 16 healthy control subjects in an fMRI scanner that measures brain activity, and showed them 3D images of concave or convex faces. As expected, all of the schizophrenic patients reported seeing the concave faces, while none of the control subjects did.

Dima and Roiser analyzed the fMRI data using a relatively new technique called dynamic causal modeling, which allowed them to measure how different brain regions were interacting during the task. When healthy subjects looked at the concave faces, connections strengthened between the frontoparietal network, which is involved in top-down processing, and the visual areas of the brain that receive information from the eyes. In patients with schizophrenia, no such strengthening occurred. See Also:- The Meaning of a Schizophrenic Mouse Image: Flickr/atöm. EverythingTwitter.

Ricky Gervais on the Death of Print Newspapers — Big Th. With rendition switcher Question: Will you mourn the death of print newspapers?

Ricky Gervais: No. When’s that going to happen? I don’t think hard copies will ever be replaced, will they? You’re talking about the future, aren’t you? Nothing’s changed.

If the Industrial-Era economic system is, in fact, on its last legs, it would be useful to think through some of the possible post-capitalism models that might emerge. I don't think we have enough early indicators to create a solid vision, so anything we talk about will have to be something of a thought experiment.

What kinds of constraints would we face? What kinds of demands? Consider the following, then, at best a scenario sketch. [Update: To clarify, as requested: this is written as a scenario set in the unspecified (but probably ~late 2020s) future, from the point of view of someone living in that future.] The trigger was a phrase we'd all become sick of: "Too Big to Fail. " Traditional capitalism was, arguably, driven by the desire to increase wealth, even at the expense of other values.

Completely transactional transparency also helps, giving us a better chance to avoid surprises and to spot problems before they get too big. What does this all look like for everyday people?
