Quantum computing and new approaches to Artificial Intelligence could get the resources to achieve real breakthroughs in computing Ramez Naam made a case against a technological Singularity will take longer. Ramez gives examples and problems to achieving an intelligence explosion * the complexity of important problems like computational chemistry have exponentially increasing complexity - if designing intelligence is an N^2 problem, an AI that is 2x as intelligent as the entire team that built it (not just a single human) would be able to design a new AI that is only 70% as intelligent as itself * There are already entities with vastly greater than human intelligence working on the problem of augmenting their own intelligence. A great many, in fact. We call them corporations. And while we may have a variety of thoughts about them, not one has achieved transcendence. Let's focus on as a very particular example: The Intel Corporation. Quantum computers have the technological potential to more rapidly crack larger exponentially complex problems. Dwave Systems is doubling qubits every year. Silicon quantum dots
Suppressed Technology 'Lost Lightning: The Missing Secrets of Nikola Tesla' - Full Film Home | About Us | Contact | Subscribe 'Lost Lightning: The Missing Secrets ofNikola Tesla' - Full Film Phenomenon: The Lost Archives We Sting U ForbiddenKnowledgeTV Alexandra Bruce August 6, 2013 This is a seldom-seen and excellent documentary about Nikola Tesla produced in 1998. Nikola Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current (AC) electric power systems, including the polyphase system of electrical distribution and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution. Tesla's fame rivaled that of any other inventor or scientist in history or popular culture, but due to his eccentric personality and his seemingly unbelievable and sometimes bizarre claims about possible scientific and technological developments, he has been largely forgotten by history.

Cartas escaneadas del Tarot de Marsella restaurado por Jodorowsky y Camoin Alejandro Jodorowsky, refiriéndose al Tarot, dice: «El Tarot es un juego de cartas, pero de ninguna manera sencillo: es un instrumento creado por super-mentes misteriosas, una verdadera enciclopedia de símbolos, al mismo tiempo que un profundo estudio del espíritu humano. Es un juego que, viniendo del año mil o antes, es un precursor del psicoanálisis… El Tarot es un test proyectivo, lo que quiere decir que los Arcanos tienen mil y una manera de ser interpretados, no son esto o lo otro, sino esto y lo otro y todo lo demás. Vemos en ellos lo que en ese momento somos. El ser humano se proyecta en cualquier cosa. No hay que engañarse: todas las herramientas para detectar problemas en los que estamos sumidos provocan gamas de proyecciones subjetivas, tanto del consultante como del terapeuta. Es indispensable eludir la idea que estos elementos de apariencia mágica, contienen una verdad determinada: deben ser manipulados con arte. Cada bloque contiene las cartas indicadas.

Biomedical engineer Mark Kendall demos the Nanopatch, a one-centimeter-by-one-centimeter square vaccine that can be applied painlessly to the skin. He shows how this tiny piece of silicon can overcome four major shortcomings of the modern needle and syringe, at a fraction of the cost.

¿Qué ocurrirá cuando, dentro de no mucho tiempo, ya no sea necesario el trabajo humano? Paco Bello | Iniciativa Debate | 19/04/2014 La respuesta a esta pregunta es el mejor antídoto para la confusión producida por el envenenamiento por liberalismo económico agudo. Es una tremenda patada neuronal que debería hacernos reaccionar y poner en jaque todas nuestras convicciones. Y no precisamente pensando en ese día, sino en el día de hoy, en el que ya hemos superado el ecuador de un proceso inapelable, pero sin notar sus posibles beneficios, sino quizá todo lo contrario. Hacerle frente a esta cuestión hace que nos encontremos con dos nuevas preguntas: ¿qué tipo de sociedad hemos permitido? Y ahora olvidemos lo planteado y hablemos de las predicciones de uno de los economistas más nombrados de los últimos años, pese a que sus trabajos tuvieron lugar principalmente en las décadas de los 20 y 30 del siglo pasado. Lo mejor de este ensayo es comprobar en qué acertó y en qué se equivocó y el porqué. Pues no, no se equivocó, o si acaso en realidad se quedó corto. Ninguno, es obvio.
