I was recently inspired by a New York Times article about informal science and technology lectures that are being held in bars and clubs in NYC. Here's my vision: to organize an informal lecture series at local (and supportive) bars/cafes on whatever topics interest intellectually minded folk (Astrophysics? Anthropology? Health and Wellness? You tell me!). The lecture becomes a place to learn, meet other people, have a drink and interesting conversation, or share what you know! At this point, I' …

CLINE was established to encourage and facilitate the scientific exploration of the intersection of computation, language, information, complexity, and intelligence as they are influenced by, and influence, the process of evolution. Of particular interest to this group is the development of self-evolving systems. The assumption is that apex systems evolve toward greater and greater complexity-handling capacity. Some call this "artificial intelligence," but we have trouble with the term as it …

… If you want to start organizing a game, please feel free to send me an email and I'll get you set up with the information and privileges you need to organize meetups on this page.

I gamed a bit in school and especially enjoyed the occasions where our game group would experiment with new systems or storytelling premises. This actually motivated me to write my own …

… Bayesian networks are normally used to determine what some variables should be to cause other variables to have a certain value, like more toward true or more toward false, or the other direction of information flow. The core of the algorithm will be to do that to increase the variables that represent "accuracy of those predictions over time", so the bayesian network will be forced to figure out how to make more accurate predictions of where people will move their mouse half a second ahead of ti …

… Humanists find that science is the best method for determining this knowledge as well as for solving problems and developing beneficial technologies. We also recognize the value of new departures in thought, the arts, and inner experience—each subject to analysis by critical intelligence. Humans are an integral part of nature, the result of unguided evolutionary change. Humanists recognize nature as self-existing. We accept our life as all and enough, distinguishing things as they are from thin …

Hello, I'm @sidgabriel, the organizer of ARDevMob: The San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley Augmented Reality Meetup group. Augmented reality is a human interface metaphor. Unlike the "desktop metaphor" which implies a computerized representation of a desk, files and folders, "Augmented Reality" implies that computer science can inform and extend everything in our visual, auditory and cognitive perception of reality. Making every interface relevant to a "first person" narrative perspective …
