2012-05-08 14:22:00 Herein lies the real substance of Hu’s words. The differences in “national conditions” between the United States and China are the main source of tensions. And what exactly are the main differences in the national situations in these two nations? …Read more »

If Spacley Sprockets and Cogswell Cogs Can Make Them, Can You?
2009-01-22 15:58:00 My snow blower broke; it is an old machine, but has worked great for many years. The problem is that the front auger stopped spinning because a sprocket got loose and worn-down by the chain. Getting a new sprocket from the snow blower manufacturer didn't seem possible, as the machine is very old and
In human grid, we're the cogs
2007-10-29 02:46:00 Images from a research shopping trip with GroZi a Grocery Shopping Assistant for the Visually Impaired developed by UC San Diego computer science professor Serge Belongie. On October 15, 2007 Belongie presented a paper at an interactive computer vision conference and described how people posting comments on blogs could provide data critical for this project. Credit: Serge Belongie.Human computation placed in a grid, for a greater goodBefore you can post a comment to most blogs, you have to type in a series of distorted letters and numbers (a CAPTCHA) to prove that you are a person and not a computer attempting to add comment spam to the blog.What if ? instead of wasting your time and energy typing something meaningless like SGO9DXG ? you could label an image or perform some other quick task that will help someone who is visually impaired do their grocery shopping?In a position paper presented at Interactive Computer Vision (ICV) 2007 on October 15 in Rio de Janeiro, computer scienti...
MindMods CogSciTech Consciousness Paper Posting #2
2007-08-28 13:42:00 This paper is called "Consciousness Redux" and is something of a history of theoretical positions on the function of consciousness. It was written by George Mandler of the University of California University College London. Consciousness Redux George Mandler University of California, San Diego and University College London Copyright (C) 1993 George Mandler I start with a review of 20 years of proposals on the functions of consciousness. I then present a minimal number of functions that consciouness subserves, as well as as some remaining puzzles about its psychology. In the process I stress a psychologist's functional approach, asking what consciousness is for. The result is an attempt to place conscious processes within the usual flow of human information processing.
MindMods CogSciTech Consciousness Paper Posting #1
2007-08-22 16:59:00 We're going to try and post an interesting paper on consciousness at least once a week. There are debates among those philosophers and scientists who study consciousness about pretty much every aspect of consciousness - especially about what consciousness actually is. Many of these are surprisingly easy to read, given the nature of their arguments. This first paper called 'Being Conscious of Ourselves' was written by David M. Rosenthal and published in The Monist issue 82, 2 (April 2004) in a special issue on self-consciousness. BEING CONSCIOUS OF OURSELVES Abstract: I argue that we can explain how we are conscious of ourselves by appeal to essentially indexical thoughts we have about ourselves, in particular about our own current mental states. I show that being conscious of ourselves in that way doesn't require that we are aware of ourselves in some privileged way that's antecedent to the higher-order thoughts we have about our own mental states. The account suc...
Gears of War, sorry Cogs but the Locust are cooler
2007-07-08 00:26:00 Gears of War is the video game I have been playing mostly recently. My home PC has done it's days and now cannot run any recently released games. It is in dire need of an upgrade and I hope to revive it from scratch this Christmas so for now it's main uses are for internet, music and anime. A long time friend of mine owns a video game arcade in Kingston that I frequent and since Gears of War dropped at the arcade it's been a real struggle keeping up with the demand, but they are managing and with networked 6 Xbox 360's at least for of them are always locked in local multiplayer matches. I... Please visit Jamaipanese.com for the rest of this entry

UK Comedian Clogs the Cogs with Daily McDemos
2007-05-19 00:17:00 IntroPolitical comedian Mark Thomas is taking Britain's anti-protest laws seriously...well, kind of. Thomas has been organizing people to challenge the UK law that prohibits unsanctioned demonstrations, where organizers and protesters are required to register their planned demo six days in advance and fill out the proper paperwork. Failure to do such means a hefty fine. Thomas (shown in a video above roasting arms dealers and Blair at a recent awards ceremony honouring peace activist Brian Haw) rightly thinks this is downright stupid and Orwellian, stating on the CBC this morning that a friend of his was wearing a T-shirt with a peace symbol on it, when a police officer attempted to ticket her for protesting without a permit. As the law has it, one person with a pin, a picket, or a peace symbol, amounts to a demo. So Thomas has rallied the troops and is attempting to clog the bureaucratic cogs with paperwork by having several people daily request demo forms. He says: Some are ...
