  • It was my luck (perhaps my bad luck) to be the world chess champion during the critical years in which computers challenged, then surpassed, human chess players. Before 1994 and after 2004 these duels held little interest. The computers quickly went from too weak to too strong.
  • Having a computer partner also meant never having to worry about making a tactical blunder. The computer could project the consequences of each move we considered, pointing out possible outcomes and countermoves we might otherwise have missed.
  • With that taken care of for us, we could concentrate on strategic planning instead of spending so much time on calculations.

  • The winner was revealed to be not a grandmaster with a state-of-the-art PC but a pair of amateur American chess players using three computers at the same time.
  • The teams of human plus machine dominated even the strongest computers.
  • Their skill at manipulating and "coaching" their computers to look very deeply into positions effectively counteracted the superior chess understanding of their grandmaster opponents and the greater computational power of other participants. Weak human + machine + better process was superior to a strong computer alone and, more remarkably, superior to a strong human + machine + inferior process.
  • correctly evaluating a small handful of moves is far more important in human chess, and human decision-making in general, than the systematically deeper and deeper search for better moves—the number of moves "seen ahead"—that computers rely on.

      interesting. Deserves further reflection on the implicactions.
  • Instead, every year we have new chess programs, and new versions of old ones, that are all based on the same basic programming concepts for picking a move by searching through millions of possibilities that were developed in the 1960s and 1970s.

    A VERY interesting article reflecting on the evolution of chess under the onslaught of computers and software that play chess, and where it has all been going. The implications for Knowledge Management are there, waiting to be picked up. Discussions of tech versus human can be drawn to their ending point with it.

    Topicmarks is a web tool that will help you summarize English text. It will also store the summaries in its storage space under your account forever - for free, unless you decide to discard items. However, the developer does have a plan to charge "heavy users" in the future. With the help of Topicmarks' "summarizing engine", you can get the idea of a long article in a snap - without the trouble of going through the original text. There are several methods you can use to submit texts that you want the Topicmarks engine to summarize. The first one is by uploading the text file from your computer. Topicmarks can handle text from several different kinds of file format. These include Adobe Acrobat PDF (.pdf), Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx), OpenOffice ODF text (.odt), Hypertext Markup Language (.htm, .html), and of course Plain text (.txt).

    Knowing that it is a waste of time to print, sign, scan, mail and then go back to the process of scanning and filing it, it's time to adopt document management solutions and eliminate the printing and scanning headaches. Thanks to the electronic signatures which made it possible to sign a document and continue business operations with a simple click.

  • Unlike WiFi, you don't have to find a hotspot. Amazon pays for Kindle's wireless connectivity so you will never see a monthly wireless bill for shopping the Kindle Store.
  • I expected to be able to download ebooks from my local library (for free) and read them on my Kindle.

      Great point! If I am going to put out this kind of money for a gadget that is seemingly only used to read books, then I want to be able to use it in a less proprietary manner . . . Add your thoughts on the Kindle on this page - remember though, this is the sell point for this gadget . . . now, head here: http://scobleizer.com/2007/11/25/dear-jeff-bezos-one-week-kindle-review/

  • I think one of the big new roles for libraries in the future is going to be helping our local communities to publish and make accessible materials that they're creating locally here in ways that can be consumed by people out there in the world.

    2020 has seen major changes in jobs in the USA, and today, millions of people are out of work and are wondering if they will have a job to go back to. As current issues continue to plague the country, workers are faced with difficult times. Not only are there financial struggles, but many jobs in USA will simply not exist in the coming months. This leaves American workers with few options and a difficult quest to find gainful employment in a country that is suffering from a major economic crisis.
