About Me

Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

The D-Wave

That last song was by the hottest new solo act, 
Hartmut Neven
and his new song, 
D-Wave Quantum Computing
And you have heard it here first on  
WARP 
in Cincinnati. 
Let's here what the Critics have to say, 
Critics:
"Researchers from Google’s AI Lab say a controversial quantum machine that it and NASA have been testing since 2013 resoundingly beat a conventional computer in a series of tests."
This is DJ Two Buck Howie at WARP asking, 
Google, 
are you working with the NASA to send robots in outer space 
or developing an unique controlling Police force?
"Governments and leading computing companies such as Microsoft, IBM, and Google are trying to develop what are called quantum computers because using the weirdness of quantum mechanics to represent data should unlock immense data-crunching powers. Computing giants believe quantum computers could make their artificial-intelligence software much more powerful and unlock scientific leaps in areas like materials science. NASA hopes quantum computers could help schedule rocket launches and simulate future missions and spacecraft. “It is a truly disruptive technology that could change how we do everything,” said Rupak Biswas, director of exploration technology at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California."
DJ Two Buck here. 
So, 
you are saying, 
Robots are not going to take over the World?
"Biswas (I) spoke at a media briefing at the research center about the agency’s work with Google on a machine the search giant bought in 2013 from Canadian startup D-Wave systems, which is marketed as “the world’s first commercial quantum computer.” The computer is installed at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, and operates on data using a superconducting chip called a quantum annealer. A quantum annealer is hard-coded with an algorithm suited to what are called “optimization problems,” which are common in machine-learning and artificial-intelligence software."
DJ Two Buck again. 
Mister Rupak Biswas
You seem to be avoiding the crucial question here. 
So I ask you Mister Hartmut Neven
Are Androids taking over the World!
(Yes, I am) "Hartmut Neven, leader of Google’s Quantum AI Lab in Los Angeles, (I) said today that his (Are we talking about Rupak here?)) researchers have delivered some firm proof of that. They set up a series of races between the D-Wave computer installed at NASA against a conventional computer with a single processor. “For a specific, carefully crafted proof-of-concept problem we achieve a 100-million-fold speed-up,”
DJ Two Buck. 
So, 
then where's the beef?
"However, D-Wave’s chips are controversial among quantum physicists. Researchers inside and outside the company have been unable to conclusively prove that the devices can tap into quantum physics to beat out conventional computers."
DJ Two Buck asking,
This isn't like that Hadron Collider thing, 
where people thought those guys were going to create a Black Hole in our backyard. 
Is it?
"Google posted a research paper describing its results online last night, but it has not been formally peer-reviewed. Neven said that journal publications would be forthcoming."
Well, 
there you have it folks. 
Between the Chinese creating a Clone Factory, 
recently Posted in my story, 
and these guys ultimately creating a super brain for Androids, 
I see nothing wrong with the coming New Year! 
This is DJ Two Buck Howie signing off 
and you've been listening to  
WARP 
in Cincinnati!

This is,
I Wonder If I Can Get Them To Clone My Head And If They Will Let Me Put It On Top Of An Android,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.” - Oscar Wilde -

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
