Revamp Of Memory Mattress

Memory foam mattresses are mattresses which offer super comfort ability, because it responds to the body's temperature and then perfectly conform to the body's shape. As the memory foam comforts to the body shape, the pressure points that normally develop from sleeping on unforgiving surfaces are significantly reduced. Memory foam is made from polyurethane with additional chemicals that increase its viscosity level, thereby increasing its density. With nearly one million UK residents and all 70 million US residents seeking help for sleep problems every year, our public roads, schools and workplaces are full of people feeling irritable, groggy or depressed because they simply are not getting the rest they need. If someone you care for has chronic sleep complaints, the gift of a memory foam mattress can bring about the deep, delta sleep all of us crave to be feeling our best. A memory foam mattress can give you quite a more comfortable sleeping experience than any other ordinary mattress. That is because memory foam conforms to the body's contour to give added support where it is needed. The memory foam is unlike any other ordinary foam mattress in that they are temperature sensitive and reacts to a person's body temperature to provide the cushioning effect. When the foam gets warmer, the memory foam becomes softer. There are huge collections of foam mattresses available in this mymemorymattress.co.uk.

A brute-force approach to Artificial Intelligence


With ever-increasing memory capacities and processing speeds and advances in distributed computation, and *assuming* that technological/scientific advances spur new understanding of the human brain in the next 50 years, I believe it will be possible within our lifetimes that we will have enough horsepower to emulate, to arbitrary precision as the years go on, a human brain. If this emulation is "good enough", then whether it will have a "self" is a purely philosophical issue. However, it seems certain that with enough understanding and horsepower, we can create intelligence.

Puzzle - Consciousness Explained


Anyone else read "Consciousness Explained" by Daniel Dennet? His theory is that consciousness is a linear stream, coalescing, bubbling up from a massively parallel set of ad hoc committees of connections. Putting aside whether I paraphrased the theory correctly, or whether the theory holds water, what I am wondering is HOW? Let's say you had a bunch of computers on a gigabit network, each with a neural net, plus some grammar rules and a dictionary (a theory I've heard a couple of times is that grammar is more hard-wired than other functions.) How would such a network of neural nets "say" a single word, followed by another word, bubbled up from a different NN, and so on (a simulated conscious stream) without any central authority or observer? (It is ok to have a global set of rules, perhaps dynamically). Now I am not saying that finding the right set of rules that made this parlor trick work would constitute consciousness. But it would be at least a start - add motivation, direction, theme, analogy... Some smart people I've talked to think this theory might be a projection of western-, or male-, or scientific-thinking, that many humans do not think linearly like this at all, but more holistically. Dennet counters this by arguing that consciousness came AFTER language, which is more genetically hard-coded.
