Based on the author’s experience in the world of inventing and promotion, Hardcore Inventing offers the kind of advice you can only learn from experience: how to developing an idea into an invention, how to build a prototype for show, how to safeguard intellectual property, how to market both strategically and in “guerilla" mode, how find investors, and much more. And all of that is based on his IP 3 Tacitical Method which breaks everything down to Invent, Protect, Promote, and Profit.

Spanning four decades of dramatic advances in astronomy and planetary science, this book tells the story of eleven iconic exploratory missions and how they have fundamentally transformed our scientific and cultural perspectives on the universe and our place in it

Nikola Tesla was a major contributor to the electrical revolution that transformed daily life at the turn of the 20th century. His inventions, patents, and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and television. Like his competitor Thomas Edison, Tesla was one of America's first celebrity scientists, enjoying the company of New York high society and dazzling the likes of Mark Twain with his electrical demonstrations. An astute self-promoter and gifted showman, he cultivated a public image of the eccentric genius.

In the very near future, smart “technologies and big data” will allow us to make large-scale and sophisticated interventions in politics, culture, and everyday life. Technology will allow us to solve problems in highly original ways and create new incentives to get more people to do the right thing. But how will such “solutionism” affect our society, once deeply political, moral, and irresolvable dilemmas are recast as uncontroversial and easily manageable matters of technological efficiency?

The story of the rise of modern navigation technology, from radio location to GPS—and the consequent decline of privacy. What does it mean to never get lost? You Are Here examines the rise of our technologically aided era of navigational omniscience—or how we came to know exactly where we are at all times. Filled with tales of scientists and astronauts, inventors and entrepreneurs, You Are Here tells the story of how humankind ingeniously solved one of its oldest and toughest problems—only to herald a new era in which it’s impossible to hide.

No one has failed to notice that the current generation of youth is deeply - some would say totally - involved with digital media. Professors Howard Gardner and Katie Davis name today’s young people The App Generation, and in this spellbinding book they explore what it means to be “app-dependent” versus “app-enabled” and how life for this generation differs from life before the digital era.

Artificial Intelligence helps choose what books you buy, what movies you see, and even who you date. It puts the "smart" in your smartphone and soon it will drive your car. It makes most of the trades on Wall Street, and controls vital energy, water, and transportation infrastructure. But Artificial Intelligence can also threaten our existence. In as little as a decade, AI could match and then surpass human intelligence. Corporations and government agencies are pouring billions into achieving AI’s Holy Grail - human-level intelligence.

Ana Martos, en Breve Historia del condón y los métodos anticonceptivos, nos descubre, en un estilo ágil pero con absoluto rigor científico, no sólo la historia de los distintos medios para el control de la natalidad, sino las distintas posiciones que, desde la filosofía y la religión principalmente, se han opuesto a dichos medios.

What to Do When Machines Do Everything is a guidebook to succeeding in the next generation of the digital economy. When systems running on artificial intelligence can drive our cars, diagnose medical patients, and manage our finances more effectively than humans, it raises profound questions on the future of work and how companies compete.

From the Sunday Times top ten best-selling author of The Psychopath Test, a captivating and brilliant exploration of one of our world's most underappreciated forces: shame. "It's about the terror, isn't it?" "The terror of what?" I said. "The terror of being found out." For the past three years, Jon Ronson has travelled the world, meeting recipients of high-profile public shamings. The shamed are people like us - people who, say, made jokes on social media that came out badly or made mistakes at work.

このシリーズでは、各地・各学校でのIT機器（主にタブレット）の導入について、筆者なりの「現場への導入はどうあるべきか」「どういう条件を大切にすべきか」という意見を述べていく。 ■導入すべきものはなにで、どれだけ必要か「デジタル教科書は『求められている』のか」「教師にとっての「IT教材」とはなにか」この2つの観点を踏まえた上で、実際に導入すべきものはどういった条件になるのだろうか？ ここで考えるのは「どのメーカーのどのタブレット」という話ではなく、もっとプリミティブな要件だ。(本文より)小寺・西田の「金曜ランチビュッフェ　はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/kode-nishi.html

筆者はこれまで、メルマガなどで各地・各学校でのIT機器（主にタブレット）の導入について、いくつもの事例をご紹介しつつ、様々な観点で情報をお伝えしてきた。そこでは、筆者なりの「現場への導入はどうあるべきか」というイメージがあった。今回は、そうした話を一度総括したいと思う。その上で、個々の事例がどうこうということよりも、「どういう議論があり」「どういう条件を大切にすべきか」という意見を述べてみたい。これはあくまでたたき台であり、今からお話する内容が正しい、と主張するつもりはない。しかし、現状で、多くの人にとって「観点」が示されていない現状では、まずそれを整理することが重要、と考える。みなさんも、ここに示す条件について、ご自身の意見を考えてみていただけると幸いだ。(本文より)小寺・西田の「金曜ランチビュッフェ　はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/kode-nishi.html

In this smart and funny book, celebrated cartoonist Zach Weinersmith and noted researcher Dr. Kelly Weinersmith give us a snapshot of what's coming next - from robot swarms to nuclear fusion powered-toasters. By weaving their own research and interviews with the scientists who are making these advances happen, the Weinersmiths investigate why these technologies are needed, how they would work, and what is standing in their way.

On May 31, 2014, in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-year-old girls attempted to stab their classmate to death. Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier’s violence was extreme, but what seemed even more frightening was that they committed their crime under the influence of a figure born by the internet: the so-called “Slenderman”. Yet the even more urgent aspect of the story, that the children involved suffered from undiagnosed mental illnesses, often went overlooked in coverage of the case.

Kate Conger und Ryan Mac erzählen die wahre Geschichte hinter der Übernahme von Twitter durch Elon Musk! Der Kauf von Twitter für 44 Milliarden Dollar durch den reichsten Mensch der Welt ist anders als alles, was in der Wirtschaft oder den Medien bisher geschehen ist. Ein streitbarer, launischer CEO entschied nach der Übernahme 2022 darüber, was unter freie Meinungsäußerung fiel – und was nicht.

L’hacking non nasce con i computer. Già agli inizi del Novecento dei giovani appassionati modificavano i propri apparecchi radio per ottenere prestazioni non previste dal loro produttore. Alcuni decenni dopo, negli anni ’60, si diffondono i "phone phreaks", degli "hacker dei telefoni" che prefigurano molte caratteristiche della odierna cultura digitale. Con la diffusione dei PC i gruppi hacker diventano un fenomeno mediatico e di massa. Alla metà degli anni ’80, quello che fino ad allora era stato considerato come un "ragazzo prodigio" si trasforma in una potenziale minaccia come autore di clamorose truffe o altre pratiche criminali.

2016年3月に筆者はアメリカ・サンフランシスコに出張した。出かける前後、日本で話題になっていたのが、Googleが開発した囲碁用AI「AlphaGo」と、囲碁の世界チャンピオン・李世ドルの対決だ。アメリカでは日本ほど話題になっていないようだが、そこは囲碁というゲームに対する認知度というか、注目度の差かな、と思う。筆者は囲碁にはさほど詳しくない。弱いながら、将棋とチェスはそこそこわかるが、囲碁はルールを知っている程度。場の展開の有利・不利がどうにも見通せない、というレベルに過ぎない。だが、囲碁というゲームの複雑さや、先を読むことの難しさを思うと、ここまでの囲碁用AIが作れたことには、感嘆を禁じえない。囲碁は、ゲーム理論の世界では「二人ゼロサム有限確定完全情報ゲーム」と呼ばれる。意思決定に関わる情報のすべてが盤面に存在するため、コンピュータにとっては比較的与し易いものとされ、AI研究の初期から研究が続けられてきた。それでも囲碁と将棋は難しく、プロに確実に勝つソフトを作るのは、一つの目標とされてきた。(本文より)小寺・西田の「金曜ランチビュッフェ　はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/kode-nishi.html

Questo libro sulla storia dei videogiochi non ha alcuna pretesa di raccontare ogni avvenimento del medium che in pochissimo tempo diventato il più ricco, diffuso, criticato, influenzato e culturalmente rilevante. E tuttavia passa in rassegna le tappe fondamentali del percorso che ha portato quel sistema di intrattenimento a diventare una parte fondamentale della nostra attuale cultura. Si parla di tecnologia e famiglia, di storia universale e personale, di scoperte continue, curiosità, notti insonni.

A new approach to the challenges surrounding artificial intelligence that argues for assessing AI actions as if they came from a human being.

Immaginiamo un futuro in cui sapiens supertecnologici controlleranno, con le loro intelligenze aumentate, il mondo; mentre altri sapiens desueti, saranno relegati a un ruolo marginale. Uno scenario solo fantascientifico?Oggi l'intelligenza artificiale, le neuroscienze, le nanotecnologie, la genetica modificano in modo sempre più vertiginoso il rapporto tra l'uomo e la natura. Nella storia dell'umanità sta succedendo qualcosa che potrebbe anche portare alla fine di Homo sapiens.
