The article is not mentioning that QE flooded the capital markets with money globally. Money which mostly sits idle (they are so desperate that they buy bonds with negative interes…

Job Ad Title: Warp Engineer with at least 5years hands-on needed You should have a solid knowledge of operating Planck length structures. N-Dimensional and Indeterministic Modellin…

My question? Why Python? The most (if not all) Big Data technologies are all based on the JVM (Java and/or Scala), why not just using JVM based languages, like Java, Scala and Cloj…

What are "hard distributed database problems"? I came to the conclusion that they do exist, but I have observed a need to manage millions of tiny write transactions per second-> Io…

Cool approach. I had some fights with Neo4J and taming IO. I did fall back on a 2nd Level Cache, which is nothing else than a huge hash map/KV store in memory.

Oh, even fission:-) May be we will see shoe box sized fission reactors, if Lockheed succeeds.

There are some misconceptions in the article (imo): The claim that game is already over is wrong, major car manufacturers like BMW, Audi, Mercedes, GM, Ford, PSA, are working on al…

Joke: may be you need a quantum singularity to get the intelligent machine singularity... No I do not think that we do have black holes in our brains, and no we are not connected b…

The conclusion is that you need the quantum "layer" to get a intelligent machine. Not the simulation of quants. Could be much easier than trying to simulate everything. Google trie…

Dualism is a part of it, but dualism is more an ethical question. Indeterminism is more about emergence, quantum fields and such things. How the universe works. My impression is th…

A chess board is a closed system with fixed rules, as far as I know you only need a lot of computing power to apply the min-max algorithm to solve any chess game. In a chess game t…

It was in my best intend to ignore all attempts before the Wright brothers to try to fly. It is the same here, we have the wish to make intelligent machines, but we may lack an eng…

The difference is the plane did fly without the understanding after little research, but we are trying to make the machines intelligent since decades. Something is missing, imo.

You touched the core of the discussion, imo, that is there are two schools of thaught involved. One sees the universe and anything else as a machine -> determinism The others are s…

Where is your argumentation? Ditching together something that is looking like a neural net and boost it with statistical tricks, is just not a brain. If you just define something a…

So goes the argumentation since 1960.

The singularity is a linear projection of computing power, in this projection anything that is questioning the singularity is pro-actively ignored. What puzzles me most, is why it …
