The network becomes the computer; Borg versus Enterprise?

"The network is the computer" is a slogan coined by John Gage, a chief scientist at Sun Microsystems, in the 1980s. It signifies that the power of computing lies not just within a single machine, but in the interconnectedness of many machines through a network. This concept emphasizes that users can leverage the resources and processing power of other computers on the network to perform tasks, effectively making the entire network the computer. The slogan was a core part of Sun's philosophy and marketing for many years. While Sun Microsystems is no longer operating under that name, the concept remains relevant in today's cloud computing and distributed systems.

It is when this interaction is possible that the network can become the computer.

Consciousness is not a mere extrapolation of intelligence a qualitatively different thing yeah and again if you think in terms of evolution so yes the evolution of mammals took a certain path a certain Road in which you develop intelligence based on Consciousness but so far what we see is computers they took a different route their Road develops intelligence without consciousness

VPN vs. Remote Desktop: Which Is Better for Your Remote Workers?

Plugging the IPFS daemon directly into a lower-level distributed block storage like Garage's might yield way better results by bypassing all of this complexity.

Keeping an in-memory index (as a hash map and/or a Bloom filter) of the blocks stored on the current node could also drastically reduce the number of requests.

If at the same time we increased the size of data blocks, we might have a non-federated but quite efficient end-to-end encrypted "cloud storage" that works well over Garage, with our clients directly hitting the S3 API!

This is a people-centered systems redesign challenge that depends on trust to succeed. When this trusted economic platform is in place people will be better able to build, understand, and work with cognitive systems – cognitive systems will have at last become somewhat like trusted social software organisms, with social intelligence rising to higher levels, like the capabilities of dogs and horses. Trusted, well-working cognitive engines, like working steam engines before, will transform and dramatically grow the US and world economy.

And his trails do not fade. Several yearslater, his talk with a friend trims to the queerways in which a people resist innovations, evenof vital interest. He has an example, in the factthat the outranged Europeans still failed to adoptthe Turkish bow. In fact he has a trail on it.A touch brings up the code book. Tapping a fewkeys projects the head of the trail. A leverruns through it at will, stopping at interestingitems, going off on side excursions. It is aninteresting trail, pertinent to the discussion.So he sets a reproducer in action, photographsthe whole trail out, and passes it to his friendfor insertion in his own memex, there to be linkedinto the more general trail.

branches offon a side trail which takes him through textbookson elasticity and tables of physical constants.He inserts a page of longhand analysis of his own.Thus he builds a trail of his interest through themaze of materials available to him

Occasionally he insertsa colmnent of his own, either linking it into themain trail or joining it by a side trail to aparticular item.

finds another pertinent item,and ties the two together. Thus he goes, build-ing a trail of many items

The real heart of the matter of selection,

the intricacy of trails,the detail of mental picutres, is awe-inspringbeyond all else in nature.

Man cannot hope fully to duplicate this mentalprocess artificially, but he certainly ought tobe able to learn from it. In minor ways he mayeven improve, for his records have relative per-manency. The first idea, however, to be drawnfrom the analogy concerns selection. Selectionby association, rather than by indexing, may yetbe mechanized. One cannot hope thus to equal thespeed and flexibility with which the mind followsan associative trail, but it should be possibleto beat the mind decisively in regard to thepermanence and clarity of the items resurrectedfrom storage.

Mixins in JavaScript

Objects in JavaScript are class-free. There is no constraint on the names of new properties or on the values ofproperties. Objects are useful for collecting and organizing data. Objects can contain other objects, so they caneasily represent tree or graph structures.JavaScript includes a prototype linkage feature that allows one object to inherit the properties of another.When used well, this can reduce object initialization time and memory consumption.

JavaScript has a class-free object system inwhich objects inherit properties directly from other objects.

We can add a new member to any object by ordinary assignment

The language is class-free.This is a radical departure from the current fashion. Most languages today are classical. Prototypal inheritanceis powerfully expressive, but is not widely understood. JavaScript itself is not confident in its prototypalnature, so it offers an object-making syntax that is reminiscent of the classical languages. Few classicalprogrammers found prototypal inheritance to be acceptable, and classically inspired syntax obscures thelanguage's true prototypal nature. It is the worst of both worlds
