-
Finally a massively multi-core general-purpose architecture.
-
Well, nice, but I wonder how much cache per core will be available... With 48 cores a single memory bus becomes nothing more than one big (small? :) ) bottleneck.
-
Apparently they have separated L2 cache per-tile (i.e., every two processors) and a high speed bus connecting the tiles. As usual, whether it will be fast enough will depend from the specific applications (which BTW is also true for other current multi-core architectures). The nice thing is of course that porting software to this architecture will be one order of magnitude less difficult than going to Tesla/Fermi/CELL architectures. Also, this architecture will also be suitable for other tasks than floating point computations (damn engineers polluting computer science :P) and it has the potential to be more future-proof than other solutions.

Solar power without solar cells: A hidden magnetic effect of light could make it possible - 2 views

-
still only a few percent of conversion efficiency but very promising since working at reasonably focussing and unpolarised light; they announce the publication of a first design of such a system .... to be followed!! Duncan: you wanna have a closer look at it?
-
99% house advertising, 1% scientific results. I think this is still a conservative guess... And I'm sure this "completely new" effect that you don't see when "staring at the equations of motion" (doggone, how I love this USish "I-am-better-than-the-rest-of-the-world" jargon) certainly has been predicted at least 50 years ago by some smart USSR researcher!!

your Ron Paul from yesterday ...

not surprising, just a google search on 'ron paul evolution' and boom first result: Ron Paul: I don't accept the theory of evolution http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/08/29/scitech/main20098876.shtml
Is color vision defined by language? "The Himba tribe" - BBC Horizon - 2 views

Yeah that's interesting stuff... We have one prof in the lab who used to do some research related exactly to this (http://www.tech.plym.ac.uk/socce/staff/tonybelpaeme/research.html). Similar question (i.e. if/how language is involved in the formation of a concept) is also valid for numbers, see for instance this recent story: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20095-without-language-numbers-make-no-sense.html

The First Person to Hack the iPhone Built a Self-Driving Car. In His Garage - 4 views
-
Read this this morning in the train, what a story! Awesome guy, I wish him all the luck kicking against the established companies... Seems he has a bet with Elon Musk to outperform the current autonomous driving algoritms using his AI techniques. He is actually driving a lot with his car via Uber, to gain material to train his NN on :)
Microsoft research project puts cloud in ocean for the first time - 0 views
-
Microsoft project Natick deploys cloud servers inside a vessel under seawater. A cool story about crossing competences of different people around an innovative solution. "In my experience the trick to innovating is not coming up with something brand new, but connecting things we've never connected before, pairing different technology together."

Cool stuff! This guy is also interesting: http://cogsci.uci.edu/~ddhoff/HoffmanTime.pdf. Saw him in a conference one, blew my mind :O
Better Language Models and Their Implications - 1 views
-
Just read some of the samples of text generated with their neural networks, insane.
- ...3 more comments...

It's really lucky that it was OpenAI who made that development and Elon Musk is so worried about AI. This way at least they try to assess the whole spectrum of abilities and applications of this model before releasing the full research to the public.
-
They released a smaller model, I got it running on Sandy. It's fairly straight forward: https://github.com/openai/gpt-2
To Sleep, Perchance to Clean - University of Rochester Medical Center - 2 views
-
Why do we sleep? One answer could be: to clear waste products accumulated during the day. To prevent aging and neurodegeneration, the body must maintain homeostasis. What would happen if we experience chronic sleep loss? What would happen if microgravity impairs the cerebrospinal fluid to flush the brain? What would happen if cosmic radiations increase the amount of daily waste products?

Its doing it again. Anyone wants to play the "explain this" game?
