When computer started to become part of our imagination, some 60-70 years ago, people called them “electronic brains” and the next step was to associate the transistor to the neurone. Physiologists told that a neurone works like a switch, upon reception of signals got excited and the “fired” stimulating other …

One of the problem with present AI is that we have (basically) stopped to create “intelligent” algorithms and took the approach of creating algorithms that by self-learning can get smarter and smarter. Problem is, this self-learning needs tons of data and it looks like we are approaching a sort of …

Chips are small, probably that was one of the reasons to call then chips and not boulders in the first place …. An average chip stays on the tip of one of your fingernail and even the very large chips used as sensors in digital cameras can stay on the …

From the previous post it should be clear that a full mind uploading is very far in the future, assuming that it will ever be possible (and at the present state of technology and knowledge it is not). Subset of mind uploading (like the intention of moving a hand or …

Yesterday I discovered this nice infographic produced by Drone Industry Insights where you can see the MANY threats in the area of drones. I would have never though there could be so many, even though looking at each single one I have to agree that the threat exists. One of …

Progress continues in better and better sensors. Canon announced a 120 Mpixels sensor in the APS format that will be available to third parties in a variety of fields, where such high resolution is desirable. They have also announced availability of a low resolution chip, just 2.2 Mpixels (sufficient for …

Seeing is straightforward. You just need to take a look and your eyes will report to your brain what’s “outside”. Actually, it is a tad more complicated that this. If you have look at the photo you have probably identified something green that looks like a toothbrush but you might …
