Short History of the Fourth Industrial Revolution

Short History of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
by Bill McCabe on 10-31-2016 at 12:00 pm

In 2016, many companies are using Industry 4.0 as a buzzword. This doesn’t mean that the old industry has been revolutionized into a new version. On the contrary, this is an extension of what has currently existed, with the dawn of the modern variation arriving about 2010 in Germany.

While the first reference to Industry 4.0 would… Read More


The Ising on the Cake

The Ising on the Cake
by Bernard Murphy on 10-27-2016 at 7:00 am

Just when you thought you knew all the possible foundations for computing, along comes another one. Forget von Neumann, this approach models Ising machines, systems built on solving a statistical ensemble model of ferromagnetism. The concept is quite simple. Imagine a lattice of magnetic dipoles/spins, each of which can only… Read More


Disarming Trolls

Disarming Trolls
by Bernard Murphy on 10-20-2016 at 7:00 am

An unintended consequence of the ubiquity of the Internet, particularly in social media, is the rise of the troll. Trolls post comments of unbelievable vitriol in some cases, comments that if issued in person and in public might lead to arrest and psych evaluations. Then vitriol turns into viral vitriol and the helpless target … Read More

Vidyo Aims To Disrupt Video Banking After Seeing Success In Healthcare And Defense
by Patrick Moorhead on 10-16-2016 at 4:00 pm

Commercial video services are a funny thing- they seem to go through ebbs and flows of industry excitement. One day it seems boring and the next thing you see is live video from a drone, Google releasing Duo, a patient traveling on a dogsled to receive care from a doctor a 1,000 miles away… and then everyone gets excited again. I worked… Read More

Robots could eventually replace soldiers in warfare. Is that a good thing?
by Vivek Wadhwa on 10-12-2016 at 7:00 am

The United States has on its Aegis-class cruisers a defense system that can track and destroy anti-ship missiles and aircraft. Israel has developed a drone, the Harpy, that can detect and automatically destroy radar emitters. South Korea has security-guard robots on its border with North Korea that can kill humans.

All of these… Read More


AI and the black box problem

AI and the black box problem
by Bernard Murphy on 10-11-2016 at 7:00 am

Deep learning based on neural nets and many other types of machine learning have amazed us with their ability to mimic or exceed human abilities in recognizing features in images, speech and text. That leads us to imagine revolutions in how we interact with the electronic and physical worlds in home automation, autonomous driving,… Read More


Climbing the dimensions (part 2)

Climbing the dimensions (part 2)
by Claudio Avi Chami on 10-10-2016 at 12:00 pm

In the first part of this article we tried to present a way to capture the essence of the tesseract. We did that by “climbing” the dimensions from the point (no dimensions), through the segment (1-D), square (2-D), cube (3-D) and finally tesseract (4-D).

In the following figures we present other attempts at visualizing… Read More
