"the ability to create new explanations is the unique, morally & intellectually significant functionality of people"aeon.co/magazine/techn…

‘it ain’t what we don’t know that causes trouble, it’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so’ (and if you know that sage was Mark Twain, then what you know ain’t so either).

Yet that would have achieved nothing except an increase in the error rate, due to increased numbers of glitches in the more complex machinery. Similarly, the humans, given different instructions but no hardware changes, would have been capable of emulating every detail of the

what if increase error is needed

Similarly, the humans, given different instructions but no hardware changes, would have been capable of emulating every detail of the Difference Engine’s method — and doing so would have been just as perverse. It would not have copied the Engine’s main advantage, its accuracy, which was due to hardware not software. I

again... not human.. no?

Experiencing boredom was one of many cognitive tasks at which the Difference Engine would have been hopelessly inferior to humans

Nor was it capable of knowing or proving, as Babbage did, that the two algorithms would give identical results if executed accurately. Still less was it capable of wanting, as he did, to benefit seafarers and humankind in general. 

But it is the other camp’s basic mistake that is responsible for the lack of progress. It was a failure to recognise that what distinguishes human brains from all other physical systems is qualitatively different from all other functionalities, and cannot be specified in the way that all other attributes of computer programs can be. It cannot be programmed by any of the techniques that suffice for writing any other type of program. Nor can it be achieved merely by improving their performance at tasks that they currently do perform, no matter by how muc

could I have ‘extrapolated’ that there would be such a sharp departure from an unbroken pattern of experiences, and that a never-yet-observed process (the 17,000-year interval) would follow? Because it is simply not true that knowledge comes from extrapolating repeated observations. Nor is it true that ‘the future is like the past’, in any sense that one could detect in advance without already knowing the explanation. The future is actually unlike the past in most ways

The collaborative economy is larger than the sharing economy. - @rmchase
huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/30/rob…
#socialera
The collaborative economy is larger than the sharing economy. The sharing economy feels to me like it's about assets. The collaborative economy is everything. It’s making clear and visceral to us that, if I can have real-time access not just to hard assets, but to people, to networks, to experiences, it means that the way I do my own personal life is completely transformed. I don't have to do any hoarding.

"Now everyone has a voice," Sandberg said. "Now everyone can post, everyone can share and that gives a voice to people who have historically not had it."

everyone...?
The Internet prophecies of Sandberg and Schmidt fall flat when weighed against the realities of a world whereapproximately 60 percent of the population is not online.

And even though the number of people to use the Internet has more than doubled worldwide since 2006, the values held by democracies have been in steady retreat.

Too often, a social justice approach has been absent from these high-level discussions about the Internet, says Parminder Jeet Singh, Executive Director of IT for Change. "Techies wield considerable social and political power and they, regrettably, are just not the social justice kinds in the traditional movements way.

At the same time Internet-enabled democracy and justice movements are spreading across the planet, the Davos sethas been reluctant to embrace the more disruptive demands of these protesters, according to Singh.

"In that vacuum has stepped a queer mix of messianic, global Internet businesses, techie groups seeking to retain social and political power," he said in an email interview. Also included "are some specialized professional NGO groups, many of them heavily funded by both economic and political forces that are dominant and therefore prefer the status quo."

The Internet is simply an effective tool for connecting people. Whether the network becomes a force for good or evil is up to its users.

"The Uruguayan author Eduardo Galeano once told me that the apparent reluctance to learn from the past scared him. “My great fear is that we are all suffering from amnesia,” he said. “I wrote to recover the memory of the human rainbow, which is in danger of being mutilated.”
Who, I asked, is responsible for this forgetfulness? “It’s not a person,” he explained. “It’s a system of power that is always deciding in the name of humanity who deserves to be remembered and who deserves to be forgotten … We are much more than we are told. We are much more beautiful.” We are much more alike than we are told, as well.

"A true artist takes no notice whatever of the public.” Oscar Wilde, witty and wise as ever, on artbuff.ly/1BCVZWZ

And so Individualism exercises no compulsion over man. On the contrary, it says to man that he should suffer no compulsion to be exercised over him. It does not try to force people to be good. It knows that people are good when they are let alone.

Expected some "Sniper" blowback, but it's amazing how angry people get when it's suggested that people other than Americans suffer in war.

Blessings on #KingAbdullah of #SaudiArabia. I wish he had succeeded in opening Mecca as it was in time of the Prophet. Maybe from above...
