Soliloque is an original computer theory created by James C. Lin to enable Artificial General Intelligence on binary hardware with a software linguistic-engine. Computer hardware was capable of AGI the moment GUI and Internet both became prevalent in the mid-1990s. Neither neural networks nor quantum computing is required to bring the ultimate human invention into being. The hindering culprit that led AGI astray was the desktop metaphor. This fundamentally different approach to graphical data presentation and software architecture proposed by Soliloque allows it to record human thinking threads and life events via a 3D qualitative scripting environment. Grand unification of natural languages graphically, augmentation of human intellect, creativity generation, problem-solving, simulated machine consciousness are natural byproducts resulted from this blueprint. #Soliloque #theVioletBook #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #AGI #ArtificialGeneralIntelligence #ASI #ArtificialSuperIntelligence #Singularity #TechnologicalSingularity #TheTechnologicalSingularity #nyuitp #nyutisch #nyu #yorku #yorkuniversity #atkinsoncollege #Taichung #Taiwan #Formosa #Canada #Taiwanese #Formosan #Canadian #Formosane #Canadian #deRaconteur #ToolsToTellThyTales #theParadigmShifter

There has been a surging interest in developing systems for analyzing big graphs generated by real applications, such as online social networks and knowledge graphs. This book aims to help readers get familiar with the computation models of various graph processing systems with minimal time investment. This book is organized into three parts, addressing three popular computation models for big graph analytics: think-like-a-vertex, think-likea- graph, and think-like-a-matrix. While vertex-centric systems have gained great popularity, the latter two models are currently being actively studied to solve graph problems that cannot be efficiently solved in vertex-centric model, and are the promising next-generation models for big graph analytics. For each part, the authors introduce the state-of-the-art systems, emphasizing on both their technical novelties and hands-on experiences of using them. The systems introduced include Giraph, Pregel+, Blogel, GraphLab, CraphChi, X-Stream, Quegel, SystemML, etc. Readers will learn how to design graph algorithms in various graph analytics systems, and how to choose the most appropriate system for a particular application at hand. The target audience for this book include beginners who are interested in using a big graph analytics system, and students, researchers and practitioners who would like to build their own graph analytics systems with new features.
The study of electromagnetic bioeffects is multidisciplinary; it draws heavily from the disciplines of physics, engineering, mathematics, biol ogy, chemistry, medicine, and environmental health. This book is about these disciplines and how they mutually integrate in the study of electromagnetic pathophysiology. Over aperiod of years, the authors have become increasingly aware of the difficulty in locating information concerning interaction of electro magnetic energy and biological tissues. There are numerous reports and publications, but no single comprehensive source in the American literature where such information is readily accessible. Regrettably, much of the importantinformation is contained in government documents and reports, some of which are inaccessible, or spread through many diverse journals, making retrieval and analysis of the material difficult. Although this book is primarily clinically oriented, it also focuses on those biophysical, biochemical, and fundamental molecular studies and findings that provide the basis for understanding the presence or absence of pathophysiological manifestations of exposure to radiofrequency, including microwave, energies. Detailed discussion and analysis of the relevant comprehensive physics, engineering, and biophysics are con tained in Chapters 2-5. Because the treatment is multidisciplinary, wherever possible analy sis is begun with basic background information that may appear elementary to some readers but is essential to understanding for those from a different discipline. Most confusion and controversies that exist in the field today arise from individuals of one discipline not appreciating basic facts or theories from another.

This book shows how mathematics, computer science and science can be usefully and seamlessly intertwined. It begins with a general model of cognitive processes in a network of computational nodes, such as neurons, using a variety of tools from mathematics, computational science and neurobiology. It then moves on to solve the diffusion model from a low-level random walk point of view. It also demonstrates how this idea can be used in a new approach to solving the cable equation, in order to better understand the neural computation approximations. It introduces specialized data for emotional content, which allows a brain model to be built using MatLab tools, and also highlights a simple model of cognitive dysfunction.

Claritism is a paradigm shift in Socio-Economic Theory that comes with actionable steps and a technology blueprint. Humanity is going through a crisis brought about by the Wuhan Virus. The basic concept that permeates throughout the Claritism ideology is the removal of undesirable human traits. It includes: Missile8964 HW Ref. Design a paradigm shift in Industrial Design called "Open Connection Architecture." It enables every nation on Earth to start manufacturing computers, smartphones, special-purpose, and consumer electronics locally to bring technology jobs home. Missile8964 will drastically reduce the strain on natural resources humanity is currently placing on Earth. AntiC8964 Linux OS based on secure Linux distros Septor/Tails/PureOS. The design of this distro aims to block all unnecessary network packets to social media and undesirable regimes from the OS level Sosumi8964 Browser a paradigm shift in the topology of the world wide web and the internet. It comes in the following forms: A peer-to-peer web browser that employs blockchain technology to enable crystal finances as defined by Claritism. Ultimate Goals "Universal Equality" all nations and living beings, regardless of gender, race, language, age, sexual orientation, enjoy equal access to technologies, resources, opportunities, and justified rewards of all kinds. "Enlightened Industrial Revolution" With Missile8964, transporting finished and packaged products from a single assembly nation to the rest of the world is unnecessary. Therefore there is also no need for the associated packaging materials to protect the perfection of "new products." Once Missile8964 is activated, only necessary raw materials need to be shipped internationally. It allows Earth to take a breather and repair itself from now on. Our priority is to heal and repair Earth before star-gazing to other solar systems. "Priority Earth" Claritism believes humanity should make healing and repairing Earth the top and only priority for technology and business efforts. Star-gazing can wait because without healing Earth first, we will just be reproducing past mistakes on other innocent and pristine planets. Culturally, Claritism introduces gender-neutral languages and the stifling of religious evangelism to end all types of discrimination. Politically, Claritism calls for the citizens of the People's Republic of China to instigate their revolution to overthrow the Chinese Communist Party. The ultimate goal is to manifest Universal Equality on a global scale. Claritism is the beginning of the Enlightened Industrial Revolution and Priority Earth. The book also serves as the constitution of "raconteuria", the first Franchise-Oriented Quasi-National Entity what declared independence on 2021-09-01. #Claritism #theBlackBook #SocioEconomicTheory #SocioEconomics #Capitalism #Communism #Socialism #Anarchism #EnlightenedIndustrialRevoluation #Blockchain #AntiC8964 #OperatingSystem #Sosumi8964 #Browser #PeerToPeer #LennonWall #LennonWallMetaphor #MarkOut #Markdown #SocialMedia #Facebook #Instagram #Twitter #Snapchat #Missile8964 #OpenConnectionArchitecture #IndustrialDesign #Battery #Notebook #SingleBoardComputer #Modularization #worldfactory #PRC #PeoplesRepublicOfChina #China #WuhanVirus #ShanghaiVirus #BeijingVirus #Pandemic #Virus #Revolution #CCP #3DPrinting #LGBTQA #Equality #payequity #UniversalEquality #OLPC #onelaptopperchild #Soliloque #Singularity #theTechnologicalSingularity #Eveil #Soleil #Taichung #Taiwan #Formosa #Formosia #Canada #Taiwanese #Formosan #Formosian #Canadian #Formosane #Canadien #deRaconteur #ToolsToTellThyTales #theParadigmShifter #raconteuria #FOQNE #NealStephenson #SnowCrash
Palaeoentomology represents the interface between two huge scientific disciplines: palaeontology – the study of fossils, and entomology – the study of insects. However, fossils rarely feature extensively in books on insects, and likewise, insects rarely feature in books about fossils. Similarly, college or university palaeontology courses rarely have an entomological component and entomology courses do not usually consider the fossil record of insects in any detail. This is not due to a lack of insect fossils. The fossil record of insects is incredibly diverse in terms of taxonomic scope, age range (Devonian to Recent), mode of preservation (amber and rock) and geographical distribution (fossil insects have been recorded from all continents, including Antarctica). In this book the authors aim to help bridge the palaeontology–entomology gap by providing a broadly accessible introduction to some of the best preserved fossil insects from a wide range of deposits from around the globe, many of which are beautifully illustrated by colour photographs. Also covered are insect behaviour and ecology in the fossil record, sub-fossil insects, trace fossils and insect species longevity. Just as insects are useful as ecological indicators today, the same can be expected to be true of the past. Such applications of the insect fossil record are briefly discussed. It is hoped that this book will encourage a few future researchers to enter the fascinating realm of palaeoentomology and to this end there is a section on how to become a palaeoentomologist. However, it is aimed at a much broader audience – those with an interest in fossils and/or insects in general, who will no doubt marvel at the diversity and excellent preservation of the fossils illustrated.
Impact fees are one-time charges that are applied to new residential developments by local governments that are seeking funds to pay for the construction or expansion of public facilities, such as water and sewer systems, schools, libraries, and parks and recreation facilities. In the face of taxpayer revolts against increases in property taxes, impact fees are used increasingly by local governments throughout the U.S. to finance construction or improvement of their infrastructure. Recent estimates suggest that 60 percent of all American cities with over 25,000 residents use some form of impact fees. In California, it is estimated that 90 percent of such cities impose impact fees. For more than thirty years, impact fees have been calculated based on proportionate share of the cost of the infrastructure improvements that are to be funded by the fees. However, neither laws nor courts have ensured that fees charged to new homes are themselves proportionate. For example, the impact fee may be the same for every home in a new development, even when homes vary widely in size and selling price. Data show, however, that smaller and less costly homes have fewer people living in them and thus less impact on facilities than larger homes. This use of a flat impact fee for all residential units disproportionately affects lower-income residents. The purpose of this guidebook is to help practitioners design impact fees that are equitable. It demonstrates exactly how a fair impact fee program can be designed and implemented. In addition, it includes information on the history of impact fees, discusses alternatives to impact fees, and summarizes state legislation that can infl uence the design of local fee programs. Case studies provide useful illustrations of successful programs. This book should be the first place that planning professionals, public officials, land use lawyers, developers, homebuilders, and citizen activists turn for help in crafting (or recrafting) proportionate-share impact fee programs.

Healer-Egg is an information delivery system that provides universal medical protection with absolute privacy. It combines a web interface or a physical badge and card combo to deliver medical information that protects all parties involved in a medical emergency. The patient, the paramedics, the nurses, and the doctors are all given vital information at a glance within seconds when their role in a medical incident is called. It is affordable and provides a platform that will ensure humanity is universally covered by this mechanism. Best of all, it achieves a level of privacy never seen before. Humanity is screwed when it comes to the protection of privacy of medical information. In fact, humanity is already screwed when it comes to any type of information privacy. We are the slowly boiled frogs, unaware, but mired in the sorites paradox. For some unawakened, they even enjoy the process and the results with immense pleasure and take pride in the ability to afford the latest gadgets that screw them over. One scary scenario was on display in the 2002 movie, “Minority Report”. People walk by advertising billboards and the advertisement is catered to them, not as a genre or any demographic measure, but as an individual, identified with all personal information including past purchase history. Coupling the arrival of the Wuhan Virus with iOS 15.4 and later, users can use Face ID to unlock their iPhone while wearing a medical mask. The step-by-step process of how to use it is documented in “HT213062”. People are aware of “1984", not just from the book, but also from Apple's famous Super Bowl advertisement for the original Macintosh computer. The oppressive world that George Orwell described in “1984” has arrived quietly, without anyone raising a red-flag. Humanity is numb to being data-collected in every which way by the fallen, that is, the marketing professionals. Many people are pinning their hopes on the cryptography technologies and Web3 to come along and change things. Rest assured, it is coming. However, there will always be people out there who are looking to profit in unsavory ways and there is no guaranteed protection, unless, information is completely offline.
