I'd like to see it become ubiqitous enough that it can be used by 
all phone users to screen calls. basically flipping the model on 
its head

Yup...that is their goal too!

so the learning time is "real time"?

Is there any other way to teach something that works like a human?

well, "works like a human", but implemented on a computer

I would expect higher throughput

It can only learn as fast as you can teach it.  It of course might 
be able to learn from multiple people, thus making it appear to learn 
faster...

Learn is not = to copy data.
It uses the context of data...

from briefly reading about the technology, it seems that the system 
should be able to learn on its own too

not sure what that means in the context of their first product

Reichart, you know Peter personally?

I have to say that if you're pretty convinced this is for real, it 
adds a lot of weight - I respect your thinking from lurking around 
AltME

hearing him speak on http://www.acceleratingfuture.com/people/Peter-Voss
makes me want to believe - certainly not the sales type

Yes, I know Peter personally... Yes, I think it is real.

But, all that said, I have to see it for myself in its complete form.

He is NOT a sales type.

(I think I have a picture of Peter and myself in togas...which should 
not be held against him....  Everything is held against me...so I 
won't even defend myself).

I do believe its possible, i know of two NLP engines which are able 
to "understand" text.


  one is able to tell you that you are not using the proper style for 
  your text!   like if an expression is not in the proper context.

  another is able to identify specific people within a corpus of data, 
  and differenciate people who even have the same (first or last) name. 
   This one will even understand if you are talking about the same 
  person by job title... obama and president are the same.

so I can see that if you remove part of the understanding (to allow 
to create its own categories of things) and instead build an associative 
system of context, it can become quite adept IMHO at making smart 
deductions.

no offense to anyone just my oppinion.. but I don't really like these 
words together: "expansion of human intelligence, longevity, and 
morality.. life extension"

The 30th alpha build of the 3rd edition of REBOL was released to 
a larger team of developers and testers on 12-Jan-2009

are we a team?

Team REBOL ?

Be there in a sec :-)

Ah... the old days of Team Amiga

:-)

What is the collective noun for cats?

They don´t do collectives :-)

Clowder;   and Kaj, point a laser beam onto the pavement of an inner 
city parking lot near a dumpster   the clowder will form in short 
order.  :)

Less fun, more apro might be cluster or clutter ... I'd rather be 
in a clowder.

Hmm, what's the Reboller equivalent of a laser beam?

I had this urge to be a smart ass and write "Lemmings..."

Kaj, yes they do...they are called a Pride, and they work together 
to take down prey.

I would say you a group fo REBOLLers is a "Force"

say to you

The rebol equivalent of a laser beam?  REBOL?  or Carl?

a devcon with carl in it?

carl  ==   Carl

Mozilla Labs Ubiquity project - web mashups, dialected/keyword searches, 
information integration. Interesting (watch the video) - http://labs.mozilla.com/projects/ubiquity/

We need some higher level R3 VID3.4 layer, something like Amiga Arexx 
port commands concept, which you export for others to utilise your 
existing app :-)

R/S

Reichart - could you please post to this group any additional info 
you get about AdaptiveAI? - I'm pretty hyped over the technology. 
Thanks

Will do...

In the Wiki, Carl added a link to the rebdev mobile client: http://www.rebol.net/cgi-bin/rebdev-web.r

Youtube wants their users to use some different service: http://mashable.com/2009/01/14/youtube-mutes-videos/

Good for Youtube.  There has been blatant disregard for musicians 
on Youtube.

Case in point, kind of: http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/10/stifled-by-copy.html

People should just follow the Grateful Dead.  Open Music (post Record 
Company Era) has been flourishing amongst the hippies for 40 years 
now.   ;)

There already is open music.  And glad to see that Youtube is addressing 
McCain's criticism's FINALLY.

Again the music industry finds another way to keep lawyers employed. 
:-) It just means bands and labels who give permission are the tracks 
we will here & buy. So the restrictive ones miss out on being widely 
promoted. Similar thing happened here when music industry tried to 
get paid to play their promo-videos on tv

Their is so much other music from great artist that people can download 
for free.  I don't know why people are fussing about certain artists 
getting their money.  They contracted with record companies who are 
going to get most of the money but they will definately also reap 
more money as a result of this.  Let them have their due.  Breaking 
the law is breaking the law.

If the artist got their money I'd be happy, the issue for me is most 
of it is going up the noses of the lawyers and pr people. At least 
itunes & emusic make it easy for independant bands to get distribution 
and money now.

P: finally?  Seems like a repudiation?
