MIT Technology Review
Apple's director of artificial intelligence, Ruslan Salakhutdinov, believes that the deep neural networks that have produced spectacular results in recent years could be supercharged in coming years by the addition of memory, attention, and general knowledge. Speaking at MIT Technology Review's EmTech Digital conference in San Francisco on Tuesday, Salakhutdinov said these attributes could help solve some of the outstanding problems in artificial intelligence.

Intel: Moore's Law isn't slowing down
VentureBeat
Intel said that the fundamental progress of the chip industry, which underlies everything electronic, is still on track and that it is still the leader in chip manufacturing technology. The world's biggest chip maker runs its business on Moore's Law — the prediction in 1965 made by Intel chairman emeritus Gordon Moore that the number of transistors on a chip will double every year. And at an event in San Francisco, Intel executive vice president Stacy Smith said that Moore's Law is on track as Read the full story

GUEST: Intel announced late last week that it has formed a new AI group to consolidate a number of its programs and acquisitions. It's headed by Naveen Rao, the former head of Intel acquisition Nervana. This means Intel is making sure is has a major seat at the table as artificial intelligence and machine learning branch out to touch virtually everything — from autonomous driving to IoT to enhancing corporate systems — over the next 5-7 years. In the short term, the group will focus on research Read the full story

Is being in the United States unlawfully a 'crime'? | PolitiFact Florida
http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2017/mar/15/florida-conference-catholic-bishops/being-united-states-unlawfully-crime/
Not everything that's illegal — meaning against the law or violating the law — is a crime," Shapiro said. "There are civil violations, like when you get a parking ticket. 'Unlawful presence' is one of these. You don't go to jail or receive any other criminal punishment for being in the country illegally — you get deported."

Beyond the Flynn effect: new myths about race, family and IQ? | Education | The Guardian
The answer to the question in the title, Flynn explains, is that your family environment's effect on your IQ almost disappears by the age of 17. An important exception is in the vocabulary component of IQ tests, where the effect persists into the mid-20s and can make a big difference, at least in the US, to the chances of getting into a top university. The home has most influence in early childhood but is swamped by later environments at school, university and work. And they will more closely match your genes because you will seek out (and be chosen for) environments that match your "genetic potential", whether it's basketball, carpentry or mathematics.

the guardian: Is the Standard Model isolated?
Is the Standard Model isolated?
the guardian
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN revealed the Higgs boson in 2012, but has led to no comparable discovery since. It is worth asking what we hope to learn from the new data coming soon – and indeed from any particle physics experiment in the near future Read the full story
Powerful though it is, the Standard Model is no 'Theory of Everything'. It does not incorporate gravity, it does not contain an explanation for the preponderence of matter over antimatter that we see around us, and it does not contain a convincing candidate for the 'Dark Matter' needed to explain the rotational speeds of stars in galaxies and other astrophysical observations. And it has nothing much to say about the 'Dark Energy' to which we ascribe the accelerating expansion of the universeShared from Apple News
