| Book: "Dreaming in Code" - Sun, 15 Jan 2012 19:34:00 +0000 |
| Cover of "Dreaming in Code",by Scott RosenbergAs I mentioned previously, I have been reading a book on programming called "Dreaming in Code" (by S. Rosenberg, full ref may be found below). Seeing as I've just finished it now, I thought I would share a few brief thoughts on it. In all, I enjoyed reading it. It wasn't what I was expecting, and I read it relatively slowly, over the past month, reading a half-to-full chapter at a time. In all, whilst it is about programming, with a particular emphasis on large projects/programmes, it covers history, basic software engineering concepts, and... ...

| World's smallest frog discovered - Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:31:00 +0000 |
| The story on the BBC News website that the world's smallest frog has been discovered. Really? Wow!Smallest frog? Picture from the BBC News story./rantNo!! Have they taken a measurement and not bothered to look up the standard measurements of other frogs? Are they now certain that there are no more species of frog that could ever be found? Perhaps even they have discovered some theoretical reason why a frog could never possibly be smaller? Maybe I'm being overly pedantic, but surely it should be (along the lines of) "a new species of frog has been discovered, which is now the... ... Follow link above for the rest of the post |
| CFP: AAAI'12 special track on Cognitive Systems - Sat, 07 Jan 2012 02:22:00 +0000 |
| At the 26th AAAI conference this year (in Toronto, Canada) there will be a special track on Cognitive Systems:In an attempt to return to the original goals of artificial intelligence and cognitive science, this special track invites papers in human-level intelligence, integrated intelligent systems, cognitive architectures, situated embodied cognition, and related areas that aim to explain intelligence in computational terms and reproduce a range of human cognitive abilities in computational artifacts. The track will focus on various cognitive capabilities in the context of artificial... ... Follow link above for the rest of the post |
