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.
Isaac Asimov- Sueños De Robot (1) 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.
Moving to Paris in the early 1950s, Jodorowsky studied mime under Étienne Decroux before turning to cinema, directing the short film Les têtes interverties in 1957.

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. Let's focus on as a very particular example: The Intel Corporation. . * should Intel, or Google, or some other organization succeed in building a smarter-than-human AI, it won't immediately be smarter than the entire set of humans and computers that built it, Dwave Systems is doubling qubits every year.

Gravitational waves confirm cosmic inflation | Science. 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. Seem impossible? 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. The future of jobs: The onrushing wave. IN 1930, when the world was “suffering…from a bad attack of economic pessimism”, John Maynard Keynes wrote a broadly optimistic essay, “Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren”.
It imagined a middle way between revolution and stagnation that would leave the said grandchildren a great deal richer than their grandparents. But the path was not without dangers. One of the worries Keynes admitted was a “new disease”: “technological unemployment…due to our discovery of means of economising the use of labour outrunning the pace at which we can find new uses for labour.” His readers might not have heard of the problem, he suggested—but they were certain to hear a lot more about it in the years to come. For the most part, they did not. Nowadays, the majority of economists confidently wave such worries away.
For much of the 20th century, those arguing that technology brought ever more jobs and prosperity looked to have the better of the debate. When the sleeper wakes The lathe of heaven. El Espíritu del Tiempo – Desempleo tecnológico: “Necesitamos un nuevo sistema social actualizado” David Castillo, del capítulo MZCosta Rica, ha escrito ésta interesante reflexión sobre el desempleo tecnológico, mostrando principalmente datos que evidencian su existencia a base de un sistema de organización deficiente de nuesros recursos del conocimiento y nuestras posibilidades materiales. Si no está familiarizado con el término “desempleo tecnológico”, este artículo es una importante introducción a uno de los desafios más grandes que se tienen en lo que respecta a organizar a la sociedad del futuro sin permitir que las máquinas compitan con los seres humanos. Los niveles de desempleo crecen dramáticamente en muchas partes del mundo.
¿Por qué pasa esto? ¿Puede ser evitado? Los que permanentemente están desempleados no tienen ingreso alguno y muchos no encuentran otra alternativa que tener ingresos a través del crimen. Todos sabemos que anualmente crece la eficiencia de todo tipo de máquinas. Todos sabemos que lo que abunda tiene poco valor. ¿Y esto que tiene que ver? No hay uno. ¿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 ¿qué tipo de sociedad queremos? Luego profundizaremos en esta cuestión dentro del contexto abordado. 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.
Pues no, no se equivocó, o si acaso en realidad se quedó corto. Economía basada en recursos (Presentación didáctica) La Filosofía del Código Abierto. Open Source Ecology. Open Source Ecology - Marcin Jakubowski - TED. Subtítulos en Español. La secreta universidad abierta en Internet. En estos últimos meses —con las revelaciones del topo estadounidense Edward Snowden— hemos visto claramente cómo Internet, originalmente lleno de tanta promesa para igualar el acceso a información en el mundo, se ha convertido, también, en una oscura herramienta de espionaje y vigilancia digna de la peor Gestapo.
Ni hay que mencionar, además, que esta fantástica máquina —o red de máquinas— de información (¡de comunicación! ¡de archivo!) Se ha atorado con material efímero, vulgar y banal. Pornografía y videos tiernos de gatos son dos enormes consumidores de banda ancha, por ejemplo. Pero tal vez Internet sea como una ciudad que fue fundada por una puñado de sabios (los científicos y geeks que asentaron las bases) pero que después, como cualquier ciudad luminosa sobre una colina, se convirtió en un imán para toda la humanidad: comerciantes y eruditos, artistas y ladrones, sacerdotes y prostitutas...
