Computer Chip that Computes Probabilities and Not Logic

(PhysOrg.com) — Lyric Semiconductor has unveiled a new type of chip that uses probability inputs and outputs instead of the conventional 1’s and 0’s used in logic chips today. Crunching probabilities is much more applicable to many computing task performed today rather than binary logic.

…Ben Vigoda, CEO and founder of Lyric Semiconductor, has been aggressively working on this technology since 2006 and is partly being funded by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). DARPA is interested in using this technology in defense applications that involves information that is not clear cut and can use probability calculations to come to a conclusion.
Because probability calculations are used in so many products, there are many potential applications. Ben Vigoda stated: “To take one example, Amazon’s recommendations to you are based on probability. Any time you buy from them, the fraud check on your credit card is also probability based, and when they e-mail your confirmation, it passes through a spam filter that also uses probability.”
Conventional chips have transistors arranged in digital NAND gates which are used to implement digital logic functions using 1’s and 0’s. In a probability processor transistors are used to build Bayesian NAND gates. Bayesian probability is a field…

The Music Fades When Shilling Is The Motive

What happens to the music itself when the way to build a career shifts from recording songs that ordinary listeners want to buy to making music that marketers can use? That creates pressure, subtle but genuine, for music to recede: to embrace the element of vacancy that makes a good soundtrack so unobtrusive, to edit a lyric to be less specific.

The 20 Most Awesome SciFi TV Theme Songs

Neal Hefti, the jazzy trumpeter behind such TV theme songs as the propulsive ditty that introduced the 1960s Batman series, has passed away. His composition—with its singular staccato lyric, itself a paean to Adam West’s be-spandexed superhero—may have been intentionally campy, but it’s proven both indelible and award-winning

Swelling, almost military, orchestrations settle into a soaring, totally hummable instrumental.

Unmatched in its creepiness, the iconic composition sonically spirals as a voiceover (courtesy of Rod Serling, we presume) promises bewildering tableaus of “things and ideas” unknown.

…Link loginlogout 8 May 2009, 7:58PM Oh my god!Wow!I’m so totally happy that my tastes in young adult humor have been confirmed by this snappy news institution! But what a faux pas that you didn’t include our all-time democratically selected favorite blonde legs and overheads. I did want see how those would rank up in official news.In fact, just a thought: I’m glad we finally eclipsed those boring days when “news was news” with this “blogoshpere” thingy. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me when almost half of the links I click on these days end me up in some tabloid-in-blog-disguise shite like this. Now I say no to Metro and Lite.

…FALLS CHURCH, VA Real estate agent Linda Vandermood was moved to the depths of her being Tuesday by the lyrics of James Blunt’s adult contemporary single “You Are Sensitive,” a keening ballad of unrequited yearning Blunt wrote on the back of a take-away food container and recorded for the purposes of contractual obligation. “God, I get goose bumps every time he sings, ‘But something in this frozen world denies me your arms, your heart, your touch,’” Vandermood said of the lyrics Blunt came up with while on his Ibiza, Spain toilet. “When that comes on my iPod, it’s all I can do to keep myself from crying. I’ve never heard anything so beautiful in all my life.” The appreciation of Vandermood and several million other listeners for Blunt’s tossed-off lyrics had netted the singer-songwriter $11 million as of Monday….
