The fading light of Silicon Valley

The fading light of Silicon Valley 03/28/2005 03:23 AM

If Steve Lohr is right and Silicon Valley's brightest days are behind it, it will have been their own fault. Technology isn't stagnant, we're going through a rebirth, the deals being being floated are incredibly rich, for the right people this time, and not in Silicon Valley. Not for the carpetbaggers, not for the imitation impressarios, rather for the technology that's making the difference and the people behind it.

Last week I wrote about insiders and two -tier communities. That's Silicon Valley. The hubris of financiers thinking they could do it by paying nothing for technology, nothingj for ideas. Yeah Hollywood is corrupt, and they want to tie up tech to serve their purposes, but they are still turning out product that some people want. Can you say the same for Silicon Valley? Imho, it's become another gray metropolis, the ideas long gone, replaced by corporate strokers and lap dogs.

It's still the most welcoming of climates, a temperate haven, warm in the winter, cool in the summer. The garden you can grow in a SV back yard is one of the most diverse and nourishing anywhere in the nation, that's why Valley real estate is holding its value. Its got great schools, roads, shopping, even culture. What it's missing are a heart and a purpose.

Photo Printing Industry Pines For Fading

Photo Printing Industry Pines For Fading
Pictures 04/01/2005 06:23 AM
Only ten days after the Flickr acquisition, a flyer showed up in the Yahoo! cafeteria announcing that film development would no longer be offered to employees "due to the decrease of film developing demand". The writing is on the wall. Since 2000, the number of traditional photographic prints ordered each year has been on a steady decline, and th e photo printing industry is doing its best to keep its hopes up for a recovery. The marketing folks at Fuji would love you to believe that digital photography has terrifying pitfalls like accidental deletion and crashing hard drives. Ever heard of lost negatives and fading pictures? Some analysts also argue that the old printing behavior will return, and the photo finishing businesses simply need to adapt to the technology. However, take a look at the number of total prints made each year. As the percentage of digital prints increases, the total number of prints decreases. Why? With digital, you can share photos without ever printing them. As our children grow up in this environment, the nostalgia that some people attach to physical pictures will soon fade into quaint memory. Furthermore, in the old days, when you developed a roll of film, maybe half (if you were lucky) were actually worth saving. You ended up paying to develop a lot of bad pictures. Photo printers built a comfortable business around that waste. With digital, pictures you don't want are never developed. Hence, the decline in the number of total prints. So, unless the photo printers can somehow get into the "digital ink display" market, things aren't looking so rosy for them.

Fading Ways Music, indie label,
announces 2004 releases will be CC! 02/10/2004 02:41 AM

Fading Ways Music, an indie record label based out of Toronto, announced their 2004 releases will be sold under Creative Commons Attribution-N oncommercial-ShareAlike licenses. Fading Ways Music is the first internationally-distributed label to adopt Creative Commons licensing for its new physical CD releases. Fading Ways articulates its philosophy for open-licenses nicely on its mission page. Neil Leyton, the label's manager, makes a great quote here: "Music Publishing as a concept is wrong. No one creates songs out of thin air."

Fading Ways joins other labels, such as Opsound, Magnatune, and Loca Records that embrace Creative Commons licenses, enabling fans to rip, mix, and burn their favorite tunes without legal doubt.

RageBoy talks a quick trot through AI, cognitive psychology and philosophy, proving once again that autodidacts are the best educated people on the planet. Since RB ties me into the piece — I am not worthy, I am not worthy — let me answer the question he ends with: "I don't know quite how I got here from Fodor's funny take on Dasein." Here's how you got there, muh friend. In a few pithy — and NC-17 — paragraphs you raise the notion of Dasein, and then take us through the clumsy way AI has tried to reincorporate the baby...

Gravity Monuments were erected on several college campuses in the 1960's and 1970's by the Gravit y Research Foundation "to remind students of the blessings forthcoming when science determines what gravity is, how it works, and how it may be controlled." I regularly visited the one at Colby College, in Maine. Emory had one, and apparently SMU did as well. Anyone know of others?

How to win hearts and minds by losing. 07/16/2004 01:34 PM
Failure is not an option, it's mandatory. "For more than three decades, the Republican Party has relied on the "culture war" to rescue their chances every four years, from Richard Nixon's campaign against the liberal news media to George H. W. Bush's campaign against the liberal flag-burners. In this culture war, the real divide is between "regular people" and an endlessly scheming "liberal elite." This strategy allows them to depict themselves as friends of the common people even as they gut workplace safety rules and lay plans to turn Social Security over to Wall Street. Most important, it has allowed Republicans to speak the language of populism."

An opinion about how the surety of losing wins votes for the Republican party.

Telepathy-enabled Quantum Minds

Telepathy-enabled Quantum Minds 08/31/2004 06:40 PM
Ben Goertzel of the Artificial General Intelligence Research Institute (AGIRI) has released a new essay titled, Kinds of Minds . In it he expounds on different types of minds, which he defines as "patterns associated with intelligent systems". Beyond defining the term, he proposes a number of mind types including singly embodied (one mind per brain like humans have) vs multiply embodied (one mind spread across the brains of multiple robots). His mind ontology expands from there to include ideas seemingly drawn from Science Fiction. He suggests telepathy-enabled minds and a "mindplex" which is a sort of meta-mind composed of many smaller, individual minds. He also touches briefly on the issue of whether or not consciousness is quantum-based and therefore not possible for machine intelligence. Ben concludes with the claim that he's building a telepathy-enabled mind of his own called the Novamente AI Engine. Sorry, no details on how the telepathy works but you can read a general overview of the system's architecture in this IJCAI paper (PDF format).
