There are reasons, however, to think--and devoutly hope--that any slide in the dollar will be modest and gradual. Though the gap is shrinking, economic growth will remain faster in the U.S. than in Europe--and certainly than in Japan--for this year at least. Asian countries are recovering rapidly from their 1997-98 debacle; forecasts for expansion this year range from 3.4% in the Philippines to 6.8% in Malaysia. But Asian economies must reduce a huge overhang of debt before they can siphon away any investment now going...
MOORE I used to cringe when people said "Moore's law," but I've gotten used to it. I was trying to make the point that integrated circuits were the route to faster electronics. I simply saw they were doubling every year and blindly said they would keep doubling. I never expected much accuracy. If Al Gore "invented" the Internet, I "invented" the exponential...
...inspired re-creations of the methods used by the human brain. After the algorithms of a region are understood, they can be refined and extended before being implemented in synthetic neural equivalents. For one thing, they can be run on computational systems that are more than 10 million times faster than the electrochemical processes used in the brain. We can also throw in the methods for building intelligent machines that we already understand. The computationally relevant aspects of individual neurons and neural structures are complicated but not beyond our ability to model accurately. Scientists at several laboratories around the world...
...hardware, I think, is likely to turn into something like us a lot faster than we are likely to turn into something like our hardware. Our hardware is evolving at the speed of light, while we are still the product, for the most part, of unskilled labor...
...dream of a sensor that sounds a buzzer when a child's liquid content nears full, homes in on the nearest public bathroom and, when you get there, brakes the car to a stop in one-fifth of a second and opens the door even faster. They could call it Bladdermatic. I long for interior window surfaces chemically coated to atomize dog-slobber on contact...
