HOT -D OFF IMPATIENCE -AD ILL-APPRSL DAT

//////////////////William Deresiewicz, on tools

 "Tools extend the human; machines replace it"


////////////////////////You've also seen that a predator will ordinarily ignore prey that is not moving, for fear of contracting disease.

 In the last moments of the chase, when there is literally no possibility of "fight or flight", the victim will experience the freeze response. It will feign death by "playing possum".

////////////////////we process a lot more digital information now than we used to – we read a lot more text.

/////////////////////////////Digital code, as you know, is a binary code, and ones and zeroes, and your genetic code is literally four-base code with ACGs and Ts



///////////////////////////VENTER-I view DNA as an analogue coding molecule, and when we sequence the DNA, we are converting that analogue code into digital code; the 1s and 0s in the computer are very similar to the dots and dashes of Schrodinger's metaphor. I call this process "digitizing biology"


//////////////////////////////Life is a process of dynamic renewal. We're all shedding about 500 million skin cells every day. That is the dust that accumulates in your home; that's you. You shed your entire outer layer of skin every two to four weeks. You have five times ten to the 11th blood cells that die every day. If you're not constantly synthesizing new cells, you die."


//////////////////////////////"Life is based on DNA software. We're a DNA software system, "you change the DNA software, and you change the species. It's a remarkably simple concept, remarkably complex in its execution."



////////////////////////////////////HELBING-Society has many wonderful self-organization mechanisms that we can learn from, such as trust, reputation, culture.

Our future information society will be characterized by computers that behave like humans in many respects. In ten years from now, we will have computers as powerful as our brain, and that will really fundamentally change society. Many professional jobs will be done much better by computers

One is big data. That means in the next ten years we'll produce as many data, or even more data than in the past 1,000 years. The other trend is hyperconnectivity




///////////////////////PHANTOM TRAFFIC JAMS-While accidents did cause tailbacks, the researchers found that the major cause of congestion was nothing more sinister than sharp braking, unnecessary lane changes and lorries overtaking one another.

Under the right conditions, any one of these innocuous events can create the 'perfect storm' which Dr Wilson said can lead to 'traffic chaos'.


/////////////////////////At the moment data is kind of the valuable resource, right? But in the future, it will probably be a cheap resource, or even a free resource to a certain extent, if we learn how to deal with openness of data. The expensive thing will be what we do with the data. That means the algorithms, the models, and theories that allow us to make sense of the data.
