As life has evolved, its complexity has increased exponentially, just like Moore’s law. Now geneticists have extrapolated this trend backwards and found that by this measure, life is older than the Earth itself. via Moore’s Law and the Origin of Life | MIT Technology Review.

Inference, particularly with large data sets, and disparate solution criteria, is one of the tougher challenges of current computing models. Probabilistic computing may unlock an alternative approach to tackling complex problems by enabling systems to infer solutions that lie outside the current linear computational models: Probabilistic programming languages are in the spotlight. This is due to…

Just under the radar, there’s been a lot of activity in the ProjectVRM space of late. Various clusters of work are underway in the VRM space, including identity research and personal data store development. On the latter, Phil Windley has an excellent post explaining the framework in which personal clouds should operate by referencing the…
