Quantum Computers, Neural Computers, and the future of 0s and 1s.

A glimpse into what the future of computing may look like. — Discussing the pervasiveness of computers would be, without doubt, unnecessary. In the era of the Internet of Things (did it ever really arrive?) the mantra is everything computes. The unprecedented evolution of processors and computers in all of their forms, from desktop all-in-ones to Raspberry Pi-like microcontrollers, was somehow predicted…

Teachable robots are the new programmable robots

How the paradigm is shifting from programming to teaching machines. — Soon we won’t program computers. We’ll train them like dogs. This is the title of a quite recent Wired article. What they expose there is how, since machines are getting smarter thanks to AI and machine learning, they will understand our language and communication methods, and not vice versa. As…
