Sicial Networking has just evolved
11/19/2003 08:01 AMHere's a
story published in Globes Arena about a garage start-up
called
Huminity that is
positioned to overtake Friendster in what Business 2.0 describes as
the
technology of the year. The software itself is a combination of a
chat-software and a social networking software, which is a pretty
different approach to the web-based social networking sites that
flooded the Internet lately. The facinating part is that is was built
by 2 friends with no funding that based everything on cheap and
effective open-source software, and through viral growth and word of
mouth built a network of more than 400,000 people. The funny thing is
that
Jonathan Abrams from
Friendster is also listed there...
Evolved antenna designs
Evolved antenna designs
06/28/2004 11:35 AMThis antenna (and may others on the linked page) was evolved by NASA
using a genetic algorithm. While highly effective, its design is
counter-intuitive.
First, there is the potential of needing less power. Antenna ST5-3-10
achieves high gain (2-4dB) across a wider range of elevation angles.
This allows a broader range of angles over which maximum data
throughput can be achieved. Also, less power from the solar array and
batteries may be required.
Second, the evolved antenna does not require a matching network nor a
phasing circuit, removing two steps in design and fabrication of the
antenna. A trivial transmission line may be used for the match on the
flight antenna, but simulation results suggest that one is not
required.
Third, the evolved antenna has more uniform coverage in that it has a
uniform pattern with small ripples in the elevations of greatest
interest (between 40 and 80 degrees). This allows for reliable
performance as elevation angle relative to the ground changes.

Highly-evolved race cars
Highly-evolved race cars
06/19/2004 06:28 PMResearchers at University College London are using genetic algorithms
to evolve the best tunings for race cars. From New Scientist:
"Genetic algorithms mimic the principles of evolution to
breed solutions to a problem. A population of potential solutions is
tested for fitness and the best are cross-bred and mutated. The unfit
members of the next generation are weeded out, simulating natural
selection, leaving the fittest solutions to go on to breed."
Interestingly, the researchers tested their work
virtually through repeated games of Formula One Challenge videogame.

04/02/2005 03:20 PMAP - When Terri Schiavo collapsed 15 years ago, George H.W. Bush was
in the White House and she was just an ordinary insurance company
clerk who liked stuffed animals and romance novels, and was
desperately trying to have children. By the time she died this past
week, Bush's son was president, and she had become the central figure
in a national debate on the right to die and on who gets to decide.

Old wireless thinking
02/19/2004 10:00 AMThis
Washington Post story
about new wireless services is a great example of old telecom
thinking. Everything depends on the carriers, and when they
upgrade their networks. WiFi hotspots and other forms of
unlicensed connectivity remove that bottleneck -- along with the
additional charges the carriers want to load on for the whizbang new
services. That's why incorporating WiFi (and ultimately software
radios) into mobile handsets is such a significant development.

02/18/2004 12:13 PM There are interesting facts and ideas at this intro to Alfred
Crosby's The Measure of Reality. For example, did you know:Because
Europe did not straddle the equator, and because old traditions
dictated twelve hours for each day and each night, Europeans developed
a system of unequal "accordion-pleated hours that puffed up and
deflated" so as to ensure a dozen hours for each daytime and each
nighttime, winter and summer....
Thinking About A Google IPO
Thinking About A Google IPO
04/13/2004 01:51 AMJames Cramer has written up a great column summarizing many of the
points (much more concisely) that I've been trying to make to people
who ask me about the potential of a Google IPO. The company is
(despite it's incredibly secretive nature) clearly doing quite well
and is probably a worthwhile investment -
if and only if you can get it at the initial offering
price - which is unlikely to happen. As Cramer points out, the
demand for Google stock is much larger than any other IPO.
Everyone seems to want in on this deal, partly due to the
Google phenomenon, and partly due to the lack of big time IPOs in
years. This explains how people who should know better were
conned
into buying non-existent shares in the company. It also sets up
the perfect environment for flippers. The big time institutional
investors are going to get first crack at the shares (at the price the
bankers set the IPO at), and will quickly try to flip the stock on the
open market, where people who don't know any better will snap up the
shares at two, three or even more times its initial public offering
price. What Cramer leaves out, of course, is that plenty of people
who simply don't understand investing will think it's a
good
thing that the stock jumps up so much on its first day of trading when
all it really means is that (a) the company left money on the table
and (b) there are a lot of silly investors out there who don't
understand how to value a stock.

Adventures in Thinking
Adventures in Thinking
12/19/2004 03:41 PMTwo new articles on big thinkers have turned up. First is an
Investor's
Business Daily article on Alan Turing's life and imagination. It
covers some of the historical aspects of his life as well as touching
on
cryptography, artificial intelligence, robotics, and brain-mind
metaphysics. The summary of Turing's life also conveniently leaves out
the more controversial bits and the cause of his death. For a more
complete
look at Turing's life, see the Wikipedia article. A
more recent thinker on similar problems, Ray Kurzweil, is intereviewed
by DevSource. Kruzweil discusses reverse-engineering the brain,
embedded intelligence, and even has a comment or two about
synthesizers.
