Say hello to the healthcare revolution.
…The pixel-based approach is unique because it looks at images directly, compared to standard neural networks that use image features instead.
Developing artificial intelligence in medicine may be advantageous, but the rapid spread of medical knowledge does have its potential setbacks. While AI promises to bring even remote healthcare facilities into the fold of progressive medical practice, bad data could be disseminated faster, damaging the integrity of new information as it surfaces in real time. The quality of standardized information could suffer amidst local and global transitions. And there…

The AI Doctor Is Ready To See You
Teachings in T’ai Chi state that the art is ‘rooted in the feet, moves through the waist and is expressed in the hands’, perfect for golfers then?
…Do you have to be a top athlete to perform the exercises?
No, not at all. They are simple principles that can be learned and practised by anybody, and the benefits are instantaneous. You can practise the exercises two or three times a week, for between 20 and 40 minutes per session.
Can you perform Chi-Power GOLF just before a game?
Absolutely, but you would first have to make the drills part of your weekly routine, as the skills need to become second nature and…

…Kinetic Wind-powered Structure on the Beach
The ANTS (Autonomous NanoTechnology Swarm) project is working on structures that harnesses the effective skeletal/muscular system of the frame itself to enable amoeboid movement which is something like mobile buildings.
I think of wandering autonoma losing itself in a desert or wasteland, wandering unnoticed into a pond and never being seen again, perhaps still traversing it’s continent after the extinction of life.
In the Physicists of the Wasteland article, I wrote about wandering, and its importance in ancient philosophy. Wandering sculptures however, hardly have any sort of intent, and are only shaped by their environment in the physical sense.
I’ve always been interested in AI wanderers of virtual worlds. Despite the designer’s intent to make them appear as fellow travelers, they are obediant to a rather simplistic AI code. In Oblivion, the Adventurers can be found randomly around ruins, or inside dungeons. What distinguishes them from enemies, allies, or…

The SD110features 3.2-megapixel resolution; 2x optical zoom; nine-point artificial-intelligence autofocus (AiAF) for accurate, automatic focus; and a movie mode with sound.
…and a movie mode with sound. Optics and Resolution The PowerShot SD110 can create images of intense color and terrific quality–even in your biggest prints. The PowerShot SD110 offers a 3.2-megapixel CCD sensor that produces images up to 2,048 x 1,536 pixels, for photo-quality 8 x 10 prints or medium-quality 11 x 14 enlargements. Other resolution modes include 1,600 x 1,200, 1024 x 768, and 640 x 480. The superb all-glass 2x optical zoom lens has a focal length of 5.4-10.8mm (equivalent to 35-70mm in 35mm photography). It also incorporates a 3.2x digital zoom for a total zoom of 6.4x. Movie Mode The PowerShot SD110 lets you capture high-resolution 30-second video clips with sound at 640 x 480 (10 frames per second). You can also capture 3-minute movies at lower resolutions: 320 x 240 and 160 x 120 (both at 15 frames per second). More Features Quick Shot function reduces the time lag between pressing the shutter button and starting exposure Nine-point artificial-intelligence autofocus (AiAF) for fast and…
