From: The High Level Logic blog. Subject: Pre-release demonstration for developers and others who are willing to install advanced browsers. When ready, this server will be available free to developers, with or without the HLL application software. The current version is set-up as a gateway and will include simple http processing at the time...
A possible link between cell phone use and brain tumor risk continues to cause concern among cancer experts. However, because it would be unethical to intentionally expose human research subjects to prolonged periods of cell phone radiation exposure, it is not possible to perform a prospective, randomized, blinded study to completely resolve this important...
As I filled up the vest the other day, I realized that by using my Android smart phone, I can wander around the house with almost 70 items and not look like a tinker rolling onto the ranch.
One of the difficulties in creating a good description of HLL is that most of the good words have already been used. Consider the following. What is High Level Logic (HLL)? “High Level Logic†(HLL) occupies a new position in relation to other software development tools and components. What is the highest level of...
I’ve, step-by-step, been explaining the history and character of the high level logic problem and the solution being developed in the HLL Open-Source Project. More than once, I’ve mentioned the enormous advantages of modern computer languages over what was available twenty-five years ago when the first few of my brain-cells became stimulated by the...
Rush Limbaugh, quoting an article in the Atlantic magazine, says that the TSA pat downs are deliberately being made intrusive and invasive in order to induce people to choose the X-ray machines. Too many people were refusing to go through the new X-Ray systems, choosing rather the older personal inspections. Of course that’s all...
The concentration of radiation on the skin of individuals being scanned poses a serious cancer risk that has been largely dismissed.
When are we going to have AI, one survey asks? It’s a question relevant to HLL because so much of the thought behind the HLL design comes from the history of AI research and current technology that has come from AI research. The answer to the question when, with reference to HLL, is now....
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Prepare yourself for a surprise ending. Do that now to avoid confusion later. Around 1990, I met with an industrial engineering professor who had been working for years with artificial intelligence technology. We had a long chat about the possibility of completely automated factories. This was still a decade before...
Link to Chapter 1 I understood the differences between what application developers wanted to do and what the “artificial intelligence†technology of the late 1980s supported. They were not the sort of differences that one might use to contract to update a software application. What had been, in effect, a broad survey of application...
Introduction An application programmer spends six months perfecting a set of components commonly needed in the large company that employs him. Some of the components were particularly tricky and key pieces required very high quality, reliable and complex exception handling. It has all been tuned to run quickly and efficiently. Thorough testing has demonstrated...
NASA is a public activity, paid for by Americans. Stealing from NASA is stealing from The People. It’s not a policy choice, it’s a crime. Barack Obama spent Tax Day “reassuring†Florida voters that money will keep flowing to NASA. (article) But instead of pursuing cutting-edge space technology and exploration, there will be a...
This article does not have a place assigned for it in MND, because it is about science, not politics. But I think that our illustrious editor, Paul Elam, should assign a special place in MND to consider current developments in science because a new way of interpreting things is going to be crucial to...
Yesterday, I wrote that the IPCC should be shut down and that the core conspirators should be hunted down and prosecuted. That commentary did not go far enough. To avoid break-down of the modern world, the IPCC must be condemned and steps taken to assure that similar activities are not started in the future....
I’m not kidding. I think that’s a very positive title. Senario, known to enthusiasts as the distributor of Pleo the baby dinosaur, is rolling out a new remote controlled robot with a price tag of about $10. This is interesting. Think about DARPA’s strategy for ubiquitous robotics. It needs a broad range of developments...
Child support decision theory has taken a leap in development; finally providing a sound theoretical formula that can be used to consistently produce “just and appropriate†awards. The following comments provide an quick summary of guideline history and briefly state the character and significance of the breakthrough. A link to further information is included...
On February 17, at Dulles International Airport outside of Washington, DC, a young Nigerian terrorist named Farouk Abdul al Faisal attempted to board United Airlines flight 1497 to Stuttgart, Germany. He had eluded detection by the FBI, and was not on the Terrorist Watch List. He seemed to have succeeded in his aims. Al...
Imported food makes up a substantial and growing portion of the U.S. food supply and, considering the health and safety concerns of keeping American’s safe, Washington insiders seem oblivious to that part of protecting American citizens. To ensure imported food safety, federal agencies must focus their resources on high risk foods and coordinate efforts,...
“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” – Rahm Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff. On Monday, October 19, top talk show host Glenn Beck will expose President Barack Obama’s latest power grab: control of the Internet. The show (aired on Fox News Channel at 5:00 PM EST) is a must-see...
Over the last two decades, some amazing things have happened in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Governments have been pouring money into AI and robotics, yielding meaningful progress. Some powerful AI systems have gone commercial; others are on the brink. But these accomplishments are sometimes being overshadowed by commentary on robot emotions, robot...
