What experts think AI will look like in 2024

Posted: December 21, 2023 by admin

The headline of this article, “AI trends: What experts, execs think artificial intelligence will look like in 2024“, makes an point. In most industries, what things will look like next year is what they look like this year… but AI is different. AI will move fast. Then, very fast. Though some companies, institutions and individuals have been researching and developing AI for decades, the race is now properly on. Buckle your seatbelts, folks, and pray for a good outcome.

Solid State Drives

Posted: March 1, 2010 by admin

Want to learn more about solid state drives (SSD’s)? These can plug into existing computers as if they were a conventional hard drive, but without the failure-prone mechanical movements of conventional hard drives.

Solid state drives are faster and more resistant to failure, but they are more expensive. If it fits into your budget, get one – otherwise use your conventional hard drive and make those backups!

Solid state drives are tougher than conventional hard drives.

In this video, SanDisk discusses the virtues of solid state drives.

Virginia Hampton Roads Region: the Silicon Valley of computer modeling?

Posted: January 29, 2009 by admin

While much of the economy is sliding downhill, a certain sector is emerging as a growth industry no matter what. You guessed it… computer modeling. And one of the best places in the US to see what’s going on is the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.

Due to a state-sponsored initiative, in cooperation with a university there, computer modeling companies have been forming and relocating in the area. Modeled systems are diverse, ranging from military concerns to medicine.

History Channel Highlights Computational Prediction

Posted: November 30, 2008 by admin

Bruce Bueno de Mesquita

The History Channel aired a documentary tonight contrasting modern scientific prediction, that is, a systematic approach using computers to crunch mathematical algorithms, with pre-science seers like Nostradamus. Bruce Bueno de Mesquita was the authority interviewed for the program. If you haven’t heard of Bruce, you might want to read up on him.

Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, lecture Bruce Bueno de Mesquita is a professor at New York University, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and a political scientist. Bruce studies foreign policy, international relations and nation-building. Bruce believes that computer models of rather abstract systems, like political situations, cultures, warfare dynamics and diplomacy, can best predict the outcome of various scenarios of these systems. Bruce believes important human decisions are best made considering predictions made by software such as his.

Turns out, computer modeling and important insights provided by Game Theory are core paradigms of modern political science departments. As always, simple models don’t need to be run through an actual computer. The one on top of your shoulders may do for some. But the prevailing attitude (and rightfully so) is that the most important decisions, made in politics and other fields, should not be made soley on human feelings and faulty human reasoning. Computer models have the benefit of a systematic approach, assigning weights, accuracy levels and Game Theory tactics that can provide more rational indications than the human mind alone can.
