Another groundbreaking innovation from DARPA.
If this pans out it will make our field soldiers lives a lot easier.

Re: All things Science related. λν = c

the alphadog has been around for about 5 years now (7 if you count the mule that it's based off of), though i guess it's gone from bigdog to alphadog and it's better now, the conept and look haven't changed much.

it's scary that that cheetah thing could run people down though. now all it needs is a laser (it'll be great/scarier when it can go that fast on sand or through a forest).

Martian blueberries! Now I have something to add to my cereal.



A strange picture of odd, spherical rock formations on Mars from NASA's Opportunity rover has scientists scratching their heads over what exactly they're looking at.
The new Mars photo by Opportunity shows a close-up of a rock outcrop called Kirkwood covered in blister-like bumps that mission scientists can't yet explain. At first blush, the formations appear similar to so-called Martian "blueberries" -- iron-rich spherical formations first seen by Opportunity in 2004 -- but they actually differ in several key ways, scientist said.

Shyam Sankar: The rise of human-computer cooperation

Brute computing force alone can’t solve the world’s problems. Data mining innovator Shyam Sankar explains why solving big problems (like catching terrorists or identifying huge hidden trends) is not a question of finding the right algorithm, but rather the right symbiotic relationship between computation and human creativity.

Having not listened to the speaker, I did however read the comments, which I liked very much:

1 day ago: This talk was a bit of an insult to one's intelligence--the very subject it which it was classified.

When you use a hammer--do you cooperate with it to perform a task?

No, you use a hammer--since it is a tool.

Computers are tools--even those with fairly advanced so-called AI.

Humans do not 'cooperate' with computers, they use them--artfully or not. All the examples the speaker gave related to humans using their tools creatively and to good effect. The talk was mildly interesting, but contained little of substance or novelty.

Perhaps in the next Carpenter's Quarterly I will read an article entitled:

The Rise of Human-Hammer Cooperation.
My dear hammer, is it ok with you if I use your head to pound the nail. Dear nail, may I please use the hammer to pound your head. Yes, outstanding. and Repeat 1000 times.

A computer is a tool. A good tool, an amazing tool, but a tool nonetheless. unless it's a toy. then its a fun toy.
