Avogadro-Scale Computing
A variety of computing systems are promising (or threatening) to scale to a limit of thermodynamic complexity, in which the number of information-bearing degrees of freedom becomes comparable to the number of physical ones. At this point it is no longer p

In the fall of 1977, when I was a couple of years out of college, I received an unexpected call from a friend, Dick Riley. He'd just landed a new job at a small publisher called Frederick Ungar, as the editor of a series of short critical monographs on de

Transumanar--Transhumanism: Young Whores and Old Bigots
G.P. puts the fading appeal of organized transhumanism in plain text. I agree whole-heartedly with his disdain for the dilute and increasingly insipid vision currently promoted. Unfortunately, I think that very vision makes the "last, best hope" for the p

The tapes were recorded 42 years ago by Lunar Orbiter 1 to map the lunar surface to plan landing spots for Apollo 11 onward. They have never been seen by the public because at the time, they were classified as they reveal the extreme precision of our 1960
