Japan: Robot to take top university exam



"
Scientists in Japan are trying to create a computer program smart enough to pass the University of Tokyo's entrance exam, it appears.
The project, led by Noriko Arai at Japan's National Institute of Informatics, is trying to see how fast artificial intelligence might replace the human brain so that people can start training in completely new areas. "If society as a whole can see a possible change coming in the future, we can get prepared now," she tells the Kyodo news agency.
But there's also another purpose behind the Can A Robot Get Into The University of Tokyo? project, which began in 2011." MORE

Revealed: The lost land where the first Americans lived for 10,000 years before invading the continent

• Experts at Royal Holloway, University of London and the universities of Colorado and Utah said people must have lived on the Bering land Bridge
• Ancestors of Native Americans used wood from the shrub tundra to build fires and keep warm, it is thought
• Academics analyzed insect and plant fossils extracted from sediment cores taken from the ancient land bridge to make the discovery

"
It was a mystery how the ancestors of Native Americans survived the Ice Age.
But now a team of international scientists think they might have solved the mystery and it has to do with the ancient people living in a wooded tundra area after splitting from their Asian relatives 25,000 years ago.
The ancestors of Native Americans probably set up home in a region between Siberia and Alaska, which contained woody plants that they could use to make fires, according to a new study.
A group of academics at Royal Holloway, University of London, and the universities of Colorado and Utah analysed fossils to come to this conclusion.
Until now no-one had any idea about where the ancestors of Native Americans spent around 10,000 years before they arrived in Alaska and the rest of North America." MORE

Future city - Now.



"
Driverless cars, rooftop gardens and communal vegetable patches will all be part of future cities, according to one architect.
Fences will be a thing of the past as residents are free to roam around eco-friendly communities, water will be naturally filtered for people to swim and rainwater will also be harvested in large pools.
Meanwhile, road lights will only spring into action when their LED lights sense movement or sound by passing vehicles.
Vincent Callebaut designed these plans for the city of Kunming in the Yunnan Province, China. He is aspiring to reinvent the social link between the city and countryside. His vision, he claims, offers a solution to rising non-renewable energy consumption in China.
The project, called 'Flavours Orchard', will centre around the city's Dianchi Lake and is around 90,000 square metres in size." MORE

I cant agree with the idea science is going to take ages to resurrect us:
My own prediction of resurrection by 2025 assumes The Age of Machine Intelligence dawns about 2022 and gears up accelerating capacity

QA assumed vast complexity will be achieved by maths and machines at acceleratring rates.

Kurzweil is going for a date for a tech singularity of 2045; Vinge by 2030.

I believe it could be anytime...as soon as a stand alone Superintelligence is built.

In the past year or so, researchers have discovered that the bacterial system can be harnessed to make precise changes to the DNA of humans, as well as other animals and plants.
This means a genome can be edited, much as a writer might change words or fix spelling errors. It allows “customizing the genome of any cell or any species at will,” said Charles Gersbach, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Duke University." MORE

Scientists revive 30,000 year old 'giant virus'




http://www.dailymail...l#ixzz2sOmzqBRZ

New Scientist version:

"
The pithovirus itself is very different from any known virus. At 1.5 micrometres long by 0.5 micrometres wide, it is around 30 per cent bigger than what had been the largest known virus – the pandoravirus, also found by Claverie's team.
Yet despite being physically larger, the pithovirus has only a fifth as many genes as the 2500 in the pandoravirus. The two giant viruses share just five genes.
Reviving the pithovirus needed no sophisticated techniques. Rather, Claverie and Abergel "baited" the peat-like permafrost sample with amoebas. "We used the amoebas to draw out the virus, as we know these giant viruses tend to infect amoebas," says Claverie." MORE

Primates replaced by humans for 2021 Mars flyby?





"
Congress has Mars in its eyes. In the wake of a hearing last week, the US House Committee on Science, Space and Technology has asked NASA to consider a crewed fly-by of the Red Planet in 2021. The venture's funding and feasibility remain vague, however, and NASA's 2015 budget plan, released today, maintains that an asteroid will be the first destination for astronauts riding the agency's next-generation space capsule.
The Mars fly-by proposal is built on plans for a privately funded mission laid out by Inspiration Mars, a non-profit endeavour formed by multimillionaire Dennis Tito. Barely a year after Inspiration Mars was announced, Tito went before Congress hat in hand, saying the flight wouldn't be possible without the use of NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion space capsule, both still in development. He made the case for a NASA-led fly-by of Mars and Venus in 2021, which he argued would cost less than $1 billion." MORE

Fosil Data Comes Together


Burton Cliff Dorset, Jurassic Coast

" A new paper published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology shows that several Jurassic sites are linked together by shared species and can be recognized as representing a single fossil fauna and flora, containing superbly preserved specimens of a diverse group of amphibian, mammal, and reptile species.

Over the last two decades, huge numbers of fossils have been collected from the western Liaoning Province and adjacent parts of northeastern China, including exceptionally preserved feathered dinosaurs, early birds, and mammals. Most of these specimens are from the Cretaceous Period, including the famous Jehol Biota. However, in recent years many fossils have emerged from sites that are 30 million years earlier, from the Middle-Upper Jurassic Period, providing an exceptional window on life approximately 160 million years ago. A new paper published in latest issue of the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology shows that several of these Jurassic sites are linked together by shared species and can be recognized as representing a single fossil fauna and flora, containing superbly preserved specimens of a diverse group of amphibian, mammal, and reptile species."

Evidence for quantum annealing with more than one hundred qubits




Abstract

"Quantum technology is maturing to the point where quantum devices, such as quantum communication systems, quantum random number generators and quantum simulators may be built with capabilities exceeding classical computers. A quantum annealer, in particular, solves optimization problems by evolving a known initial configuration at non-zero temperature towards the ground state of a Hamiltonian encoding a given problem. Here, we present results from tests on a 108 qubit D-Wave One device based on superconducting flux qubits. By studying correlations we find that the device performance is inconsistent with classical annealing or that it is governed by classical spin dynamics. In contrast, we find that the device correlates well with simulated quantum annealing. We find further evidence for quantum annealing in the form of small-gap avoided level crossings characterizing the hard problems. To assess the computational power of the device we compare it against optimized classical algorithms."

J Craig Venter takes on Aging



"
(Reuters) - Craig Venter, the U.S. scientist who raced the U.S. government to map the human genome over a decade ago and created synthetic life in 2010, is now on a quest to treat age-related disease.
Venter has teamed up with stem cell pioneer Dr Robert Hariri and X Prize Foundation founder Dr Peter Diamandis to form Human Longevity Inc, a company that will use both genomics and stem cell therapies to find treatments that allow aging adults to stay healthy and functional for as long as possible.
"We're hoping to make numerous new discoveries in preventive medicine. We think this will have a huge impact on changing the cost of medicine," Venter said on a conference call announcing his latest venture.
The San Diego-based startup company has $70 million in private backing and has already purchased two ultrafast HiSeq X Ten gene sequencing systems from Illumina Inc, a leading manufacturer of DNA sequencing machines, with the option to buy three more.
The company will use that technology to map 40,000 human genomes in a push to build the world's largest database of human genetic variation. The database will include sequences from the very young through the very old, both diseased and healthy." MORE

How climate change ended world's first great civilisations




"The world’s first great civilisations appear to have collapsed because of an ancient episode of climate change – according to new research carried out by scientists and archaeologists.

Their investigation demonstrates that the Bronze Age 'megacities' of the Indus Valley region of Pakistan and north-west India declined during the 21st and 20th centuries BC and never recovered – because of a dramatic increase in drought conditions.
The research, carried out by the University of Cambridge and India’s Banaras Hindu University, reveals that a series of droughts lasting some 200 years hit the Indus Valley zone – and was probably responsible for the rapid decline of the great Bronze Age urban civilization of that region.
The findings correlate chronologically with drought evidence found over recent years by other scientists who have examined deposits from the bottom of the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman as well as stalactites from caves in North east India and southern Arabia." MORE

for Quantum Archaeology we need to synthesise all the databases mankind holds into The Quantum Archaeology Grid.

Into this grid that extends as far as we can into the world of the large the small and the human mind, are gathered all records and data bases held: most are still being composed.

This enormous data mining and assembling task will be done by virtual and 3D robots.



All known data is inserted onto the QA Grid. Artefacts are not self-created but made by causal laws from other events strctly by the laws of physics. The laws of physics are run alongside the GRID.

At some point of enough insertion from known data, mathematical deductions from any pont in the grid will fill in all other past events.

Although this is a vast undertaking, it looks likely in the 2020's as the Age of Machine Intelligence dawns, and calculations at great speed and deep complexity is possible eg with quantum computers, super-recursive algorthims, and ampliduhedrons.

I'm convinced we can begin now and first resurrections possible from 2024-5.

An ancient Norse code which has been puzzling experts for years has been cracked by a Norwegian runologist - to discover the Viking equivalent of playful text messages.
The mysterious jötunvillur code, which dates to 12th or 13th-century Scandinavia, has been unravelled by K Jonas Nordby from the University of Oslo, after he studied a 13th-century stick on which two men, Sigurd and Lavrans, had carved their name in both code and in standard runes. The jötunvillur code is found on only nine inscriptions, from different parts of Scandinavia, and has never been interpreted before." MORE

Virus resurrected from 700-year-old caribou dung

 

 

 

 

"Earlier this year, researchers brought an ancient giant virus back to life. Now, they have recovered more viral genetic material—this time from frozen caribou feces. For more than 5 millennia, caribou have grazed shrubs and grasses on ice patches atop the Selwyn Mountains in Canada. The animals congregate on the subarctic ice patches during warm summer seasons to escape heat and biting insects, leaving layers of feces on the ground. After drilling ice core containing thousands of years of accumulated caribou dung (shown above), scientists recovered the complete genome of a DNA virus and the partial genome of an RNA virus from frozen feces dated to 700 years old, they report online today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."
