The method is a step toward building quantum computers, which have the potential to solve certain types of very large problems many orders of magnitude faster than is possible using classical computers.”…

Good thing: to be able to read your blogs while eating breakfast
Bad thing: to drop a bun in your cereal, and have milk splashed all across your laptop

Good thing: iTunes for Windows

Jack Valenti says stupid things --
really, really stupid things 08/03/2004 07:46 PM
Tim Wu has rounded up some of the dumbest things that Jack Valenti said -- and he's found some real howlers, things that make Jack's infamous condemnation of the VCR ("the Boston Stranger of the American film industry") look like a walk in the park.

On the nascent cable industry, in 1974
"[Cable will become] a huge parasite in the marketplace, feeding and fattening itself off of local television stations and copyright owners of copyrighted material. We do not like it because we think it wrong and unfair."

On the dangers on media concentration, 1984 Op-Ed
"Will a democratic society allow just three corporate entities to wield unprecedented dominion over television, the most decisive voice in the land? There are now only three national networks .... There will never be more than three national networks."

On the public domain, 1995
"A public domain work is an orphan. No one is responsible for its life. But everyone exploits its use, until that time certain when it becomes soiled and haggard, barren of its previous virtues. How does the consumer benefit from the steady decline of a film's quality?"

Attogram scale can weigh viruses

Attogram scale can weigh viruses 04/15/2004 01:10 PM
This new scale can detect mass differences of an attogram (10^-18 grams)

"The nanoelectromechanical device used by Craighead and colleagues consists of an oscillating cantilever made from a small wafer of silicon 4 microns long and 500 nm wide. When a small particle is absorbed onto the wafer, it alters the frequency at which the wafer vibrates. The team was able to monitor this change by measuring laser light reflected off the wafer, which then allowed the mass of the particle to be calculated."

The UAV Swarm

The UAV Swarm 11/15/2003 05:41 PM
Imagine an enemy, fighting the Americans, and they look up and see a swarm of attacking drones! The enemy would be inundated by an innumerable flock of UAVs. From this article it appears that's just what the US Navy has in mind. With seeing huge flocks of birds heading south for the winter this time of year, it's not hard to imagine what a swarm of drones might look like: it would look like the swarm of squidlike robots from The Matrix. Intelligent flying autonomous vehicles would have inter-robot communication network so that it could organize it's own collective configuration and reconfigure in the event of losses. The ememy would really have to watch out for their droppings.

Such systems are made up by a population of simple agents interacting locally with one other and with their environment. Although there is typically no centralised control dictating the behaviour of the agents, local interactions ong the agents often cause a global pattern to emerge. Examples of systems like this can be found in nature, including ant colonies, bird flocking, animal herding, honey bees, bacteria, and many more. Swarm-like algorithms, such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), have already been applied successfully to solve real-world optimization problems in engineering and telecommunication. SI models have many features in common with Evolutionary Algorithms.

Here's a little experiment in social software. I've been talking with Jack Bury, a 20-year-old American poet living in Amsterdam, who is part of a tiny start-up trying to get some traction for "Eyebees," a Microsoft IE add-in. (It'll be open sourced eventually.) The add-in puts a frame on the left of your browser that shows you up to 200 little dots (Eyebees), each representing another person in the "swarm" you've joined. Their relative position shows which pages they're currently viewing. If a few people are each looking at, say, Doc's blog, then you'll see the five Eyebees clustered...

Swarm Robots and the Freeze-Tag Problem

Swarm Robots and the Freeze-Tag Problem 03/06/2004 02:03 AM
The Freeze-Tag Problem is a common optimization problem when dealing with swarms of robots. You start out with a swarm of "sleeping" robots in an arbitrary arrangement. One robot has to wake the swarm. To wake a sleeping robot, it must be "tagged" by an active robot. Once a robot is awakened, it can assist in waking other robots. The problem is figuring out how to wake all the robots as early as possible. In a recent paper, The Freeze-Tag Problem: How to Wake Up a Swarm of Robots (PDF format), Esther M. Arkin, Michael A. Bender and several other researcher do a lot of interesting math that proves the problem is NP-hard; a result confirmed by other studies of the problem.
