EPIC: A New SBC Form Factor

EPIC: A New SBC Form Factor 04/09/2004 04:01 PM
A LinuxDevices.com article carries the news that five manufacturers of single-board computers (SBCs) announced a new industry standard form factor called EPIC at this year's Embedded Systems Conference. EPIC boards will be 115mm by 165mm which is larger than PC/104 but smaller than the EBX standard. The EPIC standard includes on-board PC/104 and PC/104-Plus connectors for expansion boards. The standard also allows PC-style connectors for I/O instead of the pin-headers common on PC/104 designs.

Rethinking Zionism. "Although embattled nationalistic movements are a commonplace, no nationalistic cause is as entwined with the larger issues and fault lines of global politics as modern Zionism is. Not least, the crisis of Zionism has implications for the ability of America to achieve its policy goals in the Middle East and in its wider confrontation with Islamic militancy."

Project Oxygen, a “work in progress,” is a well funded endeavor to see just how far we can take computer technology. Rather than making it more “powerful,” the going theme seems to be making it easier to use. As of right now, the main effort is focused on spoken technology or voice recognition. It will work to help automate many of the remedial tasks that we have to endure each day such as turning on lights or turning off a TV. While the technology is certainly in development, it will be interesting to see where it ends up.

Rethinking the Turing Test

Rethinking the Turing Test 07/11/2004 10:47 PM
In the 1950s, Alan Turing had proposed a metric for machine intelligence. This metric is currently known as "the Turing Test" and much work in the field of Aritificial Intelligence (or AI) has been influenced by this metric. In short, Turing suggested that a machine that could behave in a manner indistinguishable from a human could be considered to be "thinking." For many researchers, the goal is simply to pass the Turing Test. In 1990, the first formal instantiation of the Turing Test, the Loebner Prize, was introduced. The Grand Prize, awarded to the first computer able to provide responses indistinguisable from a human, is a gold medal and $100,000 and has never been awarded. However, each year $2000 is awarded to the entry that fares the best. This is ostensibly designed to stimulate research in the area. I propose that not only does this metric exclude much in the way of actual thought, it also fails to encourage much in the way of machine intelligence. I also propose that the Loebner Prize, for adhering to this metric, puts an incentive on an aspect of AI that does little to advance machine thought or intelligence, in practice. Thus a reconsidered and reformed version should be introduced.

Rethinking Personal Surfing At Work

Rethinking Personal Surfing At Work 12/12/2003 02:03 PM
For the past few years, every other month or so, some scary report would be released about how "personal surfing" at work was happening. Each one of these studies just happened to be sponsored by a company that sold internet filtering technology to stop personal surfing at work. It looks like more people are starting to wonder wh at's so bad about a little personal surfing at work? Most jobs now expect employees to be able to do some work at home, so, doing a few personal things at work seems perfectly fair. Studies have shown that workers who do some personal surfing at work are more productive and have improved skills and a better work/life balance. They get nagging things out of the way, and use the personal surfing as small breaks during the day to clear their head and remain focused. The first link above makes a very important point: there's a difference between "non-productive" surfing and "counter-productive" surfing. It's the counter-productive surfing that is what people should be concerned about, but because it sells more filters, the filtering companies have lumped counter-productive surfing with non-productive "coffee break" surfing. As the article points out, if there's too much non-productive surfing going on, it probably means that the employee isn't being challenged enough. Furthermore, workplaces that are too strict with their internet policies make employees feel stifled - which drops morale and (surprise, surprise) productivity.

NY Times: Pane l Urges New Protection on Federal 'Data Mining'. A federal advisory committee says Congress should pass laws to protect the civil liberties of Americans when the government sifts through computer records and data files for information about terrorists.

This is a positive sign, but it's far too early to believe a panel recommendation will turn into concrete protection of anyone's privacy. Let's see where it goes before offering too many cheers.

Gre eks, postmodernity, and the rethinking of democracy Found this fascinating interview on openDemocracy by way of meat-eating leftist. Greek opposition minister George Papandreou, son of former socialist Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou, says some interesting things about the changing nature of representative democracy and the new fluidity of citizens' political and social identities. Given our diminishing democracy in this country, it is refreshing to hear a politician say that individuals in society need to be empowered and that political leaders must listen to and trust individuals.

Rethinking Kerry's campaign slogan

Rethinking Kerry's campaign slogan 07/26/2004 07:45 PM
Jess Hemerly of A Great Notion points us to a Slate article about John Kerry's campaign slogan "Let America be America again," a line snatched from a poem by Harlem renaissance poet Langston Hughes. The irony is that the poem itself was written with ironic intent--Hughes was app arently a vocal Communist and Soviet Union supporter.

Instead of misappropriating Hughes's poetry, Jess suggests Kerry sample some other beats:

from Ginsberg's "America":
"America I'm putting my queer shoulder to the wheel. Vote Kerry."
"America stop pushing me I know what I am doing. Vote Kerry."
"America why are your libraries full of tears? Vote Kerry."

from e.e. cummings:
"a politician is an arse upon which everyone has sat except a man. vote kerry, his arse is fresher than Bush's."

from Lawrence Ferlinghetti's "I am Waiting":
"Are you waiting for the American Eagle to really spread its wings and straighten up and fly right? Vote Kerry."
"I am waiting for the lost music to sound again in the Lost Continent in a new rebirth of wonder. Vote Kerry."

okay i'm ridiculous but do you see how ridiculous the Hughes thing is?
