In several cases, children swallowed them, and injured their intestines, resulting in at least one death. Outlets of the Future aka in-wall USB Charger 1. Plug the Mini USB chargers into the outlets. Because the USB ports are off center I decided to put them both toward the center. I think it looked better than having them the same direction or both on the outside.
[ research files ] The architectural domain seems increasingly interested in investigating novel strategies and processes from design to final materialization. Especially the advent of an empirical aptitude is setting the basis for the replacement of exhausted rationalistic design approaches and already acquainted processes of metaphorization. The research in Performative Design Processes for Architecture targets a non-linear and holistic approach to architectural design while stressing the necessity for an interdisciplinary aptitude.
This Day In History This Day in History: April 11th Today in History: April 11, 1931 Dorothy Parker was a writer, poet and satirist whose quick turns of phrase made her a favorite among many prominent Jazz Age newspaper columnists. Along with Robert Benchley Read More » This Day in History: April 10th Today in History: April 10, 1834 On the evening on April 10, 1834, a fire broke out in an elegant three-story mansion in New Orleans’ French Quarter.
/////Fabware//// Team 1 : Gabriel Morales – Bryan Oknyansky – Kai Sun LukTeam 2: Tyson Hosmer – Micheal Dossier – Thiago Mundim – Ryan Szanyi FABWARE is a series of studies offered as an introduction into generative systems for the construction of high-resolution redundant structures using specific computational procedures and physical prototyping. Main design challenge was to reinvent the building block within the context of large population constructed fabrics that can be differentiated without having to micromanage the mass-customized production and installation of large numbers of different components. Based on the ideas of redundant structures, the physics such as the friction between the elements and interchangeable rules of connection, students worked with ways to encode a range of structural capacities, intricacies and other material and architectural effects within the assembled fabric.
02002-02029 (27 years): By 2029 no computer - or &machine intelligence& - will have passed the Turing Test. - Long Bets - StumbleUpon The Significance of the Turing Test. The implicit, and in my view brilliant, insight in Turing's eponymous test is the ability of written human language to represent human-level thinking. The basis of the Turing test is that if the human Turing test judge is competent, then an entity requires human-level intelligence in order to pass the test. The human judge is free to probe each candidate with regard to their understanding of basic human knowledge, current events, aspects of the candidate's personal history and experiences, as well as their subjective experiences, all expressed through written language.
Daniel Cardoso Llach - Design & Computation, MIT Figure 1. The cutsheet for the Lasecutter looks like this. This project is an exploration in 3-D of some simple geometric principles I am interested in since I started styudying Konstantin Melnikov's work (check some references to my previous work on Melnikov Grammar here). Melnikov's geometric principles work on the plane. Can they be translated to space? Rationality Over the last several decades, science has developed a new picture of how we succeed or fail to seek true beliefs and achieve our goals. The heuristics and biases program in cognitive psychology has exposed dozens of major flaws in human reasoning, and along with them, insight into the mental processes that produce these flaws. Bayesian probability theory and decision theory have been used in increasingly powerful statistical methods and machine learning algorithms; I believe that they also provide a lens through which to view everyday life.
Archive » REPEAT Competition Winner REPEAT Competition winners have been announced, the competition received a total of 73 entries from across the globe representing 18 countries on 5 continents. The jury consisting of some real architectural mavericks like Patrik Schumacher, Marc Fornes, Lisa Iwamoto, Chris Lasch and Blair Satterfeld conferred and decided the winning project that will be built for the TEX-FAB Event in Houston in February 2011. The Jury selected 1 Winner, 4 Runners-Up and 7 Honorable Mentions which will be exhibited along side the winner. WINNER // Vlad Tenu MINIMAL COMPLEXITY Along with its aesthetic beauty, technical superiority and elegance of detailing, the proposal was chosen because it employs structural robustness, material effciency and an inherent logic of assembly.
Singularity The term “Singularity” had a much narrower meaning back when the Machine Intelligence Research Institute was founded. Since then the term has acquired all sorts of unsavory connotations. The kind of Singularity I work on has little to do with Moore’s Law. So forget the word; here’s the issue: Since the rise of Homo sapiens, human beings have been the smartest minds around.
