Alejandro Jodorowsky
Alejandro Jodorowsky (Spanish: [aleˈxandɾo xoðoˈɾofski]; born 17 February 1929)[1][2][3] is a Chilean[4][5] filmmaker, playwright, play director, actor, author, poet, musician, comics writer and spiritual guru. Best known for his avant-garde films, he has been "venerated by cult cinema enthusiasts" for his work which "is filled with violently surreal images and a hybrid blend of mysticism and religious provocation".[6] Born to Jewish-Ukrainian parents in Chile, Jodorowsky experienced an unhappy and alienated childhood, and so immersed himself in reading and writing poetry. Dropping out of college, he became involved in theater and in particular mime, working as a clown before founding his own theater troupe, the Teatro Mimico, in 1947. Biography[edit] Early years (1929–1952)[edit] Jodorowsky was born in 1929 in the coastal town of Tocopilla, Chile, to parents who were Jewish immigrants from Yekaterinoslav (act.

alonso ruvalcaba: Google+ 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

Intro ¿Qué me dieron?Existen muchas divisiones de las drogas. A. Porot, por ejemplo, las clasificó en “fatalmente adictivas” (opio, mariguana, cocaína) y drogas que “sólo producen hábito” (tabaco, cafeína, alcohol). Antonio Escohotado, infinitamente más sensible, las divide entre aquellas que alivian un dolor, un sufrimiento o un desasosiego (sedantes: morfina, heroína, somníferos, alcohol); aquellas que alivian la pereza, la impotencia y el aburrimiento (estimulantes: cafeína, cocaína, anfetaminas) y aquellas, finalmente, que sacian la curiosidad intelectual, los anhelos del corazón (éxtasis, LSD, mariguana, hongos). En estas notas son drogas recreativas a las que consumimos en antros o en reventones; las que enardecen nuestro ánimo y, a veces, nos permiten bailar muchas horas.

The future of medicine | Playlist Now playing One hundred sixty years after the invention of the needle and syringe, we’re still using them to deliver vaccines; it’s time to evolve. 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. Mike Judge This article is about the cartoonist.

Early life and education[edit] Career[edit] After graduating from UCSD with a degree in physics, Judge's first job was as a programmer for the F-18 fighter at Support Systems Associates, Inc. Animation, film, and TV work[edit] In 1997, Judge created King of the Hill for the Fox Network. In 1999, Judge had a voice cameo in South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, the feature-length film adaptation of the popular Comedy Central series; he voiced Kenny McCormick when he was unhooded towards the end of the film.

Porquería ¿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.

Blog actual de Guillermo Fadanelli What is a Book Sprint? | BookSprints.net A Book Sprint brings together a group to produce a book in 3-5 days. There is no pre-production and the group is guided by a facilitator from zero to published book. The books produced are high quality content and are made available immediately at the end of the sprint via print-on-demand services and e-book formats. The Sprint Table Zero to book in 5 days. There are three important outcomes from Book Sprints: * Producing a book* Sharing knowledge* Team/community building Books Sprints produce great books and they are a great learning environment and team-building process. This kind of spectacular efficiency can only occur because of intense collaboration, facilitation and synchronous shared production environments. There are five main parts of a Book Sprint (thanks to Dr D. 1. Here are some interesting articles that provide more detail on the process: * 0 to Book in 3 Days? BookSprints.net is where the Book Sprint methodology all started.
