Is the time of the farmer, the teacher, and the laborer over?

Originally shared by RoboGarden Inc

Is the time of the farmer, the teacher, and the laborer over? This popular question has been asked with increasing frequency since the appearance of the Sophia robot, which has been an inspiration to many. Scientists predict that in the future most jobs will be done by robotics. Now is the time to learn programing, which will enable you to code your own robotics and ensure that you can find a job in the future.

"Computer scientists have created an artificial intelligence (AI) that can probe the 'minds' of other computers and predict their actions, the first step to fluid collaboration among machines -- and between machines and people."

"Theory of mind is clearly a crucial ability,' for navigating a world full of other minds, says Alison Gopnik, a developmental psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley, who was not involved in the work. By about the age of 4, human children understand that the beliefs of another person may diverge from reality, and that those beliefs can be used to predict the person's future behavior. Some of today's computers can label facial expressions such as 'happy' or 'angry' -- a skill associated with theory of mind -- but they have little understanding of human emotions or what motivates us."

"The new project began as an attempt to get humans to understand computers. Many algorithms used by AI aren't fully written by programmers, but instead rely on the machine 'learning' as it sequentially tackles problems. The resulting computer-generated solutions are often black boxes, with algorithms too complex for human insight to penetrate. So Neil Rabinowitz, a research scientist at DeepMind in London, and colleagues created a theory of mind AI called 'ToMnet' and had it observe other AIs to see what it could learn about how they work."

"ToMnet comprises three neural networks, each made of small computing elements and connections that learn from experience, loosely resembling the human brain. The first network learns the tendencies of other AIs based on their past actions. The second forms an understanding of their current 'beliefs.' And the third takes the output from the other two networks and, depending on the situation, predicts the AI's next moves."

Originally shared by Rick Li

#Creator, formerly known as #MomentumMachines, is one of a rising new type of automated restaurant, mixing the best of the #techindustry’s software, #robotics, and #artificialintelligence skills with top-tier culinary expertise. The goal is not to automate away humans entirely, but to automate the portion of the restaurant experience that can be done better, faster, and be more cost efficient with machines. Creator joins companies like San Francisco-based quinoa bowl chain Eatsa, pizza-delivery company Zume in Mountain View, CaliBurger parent company and Miso Robotics investor Cali Group, and a smattering of up-and-coming locations around the country like Boston’s Spyce and Seattle’s Junkichi.

The Eatsa experience involves no human beings whatsoever in the standard ordering process and instead lets customers order from an iPad. #Food is prepared partially by automated machines and partially by humans in the kitchen before being placed into mechanized cubbies a customer opens with the tap of a finger on the glass.

In the future, plants will be able to create their own fertilizer.

Originally shared by David Strumfels

In the future, plants will be able to create their own fertilizer. Farmers will no longer need to buy and spread fertilizer for their crops, and increased food production will benefit billions of people around the world, who might otherwise go hungry.

These statements may sound like something out of a science fiction novel, but new research by Washington University in St. Louis scientists show that it might soon be possible to engineer plants to develop their own fertilizer. This discovery could have a revolutionary effect on agriculture and the health of the planet.

"As a Japanese, I grew up watching anime like 'Neon Genesis Evangelion,' which depicts a future in which machines and humans merge into cyborg ecstasy. Such programs caused many of us kids to become giddy with dreams of becoming bionic superheroes. Robots have always been part of the Japanese psyche -- our hero, Astro Boy, was officially entered into the legal registry as a resident of the city of Niiza, just north of Tokyo, which, as any non-Japanese can tell you, is no easy feat."

"It's not that Westerners haven't had their fair share of friendly robots like R2-D2 and Rosie, the Jetsons' robot maid. But compared to the Japanese, the Western world is warier of robots. I think the difference has something to do with our different religious contexts, as well as historical differences with respect to industrial-scale slavery."

"The Western concept of 'humanity' is limited, and I think it's time to seriously question whether we have the right to exploit the environment, animals, tools, or robots simply because we're human and they are not."

"Japanese don't make a distinction between man, the superior creature, and the world about him."

Hard-coding a robot to coordinate multiple joints is daunting.

Originally shared by Manuela Casasoli

Hard-coding a robot to coordinate multiple joints is daunting. So computer scientists have turned to machine learning, a field of artificial intelligence (AI) in which computers build skills on their own. Such learning takes time and repetition, however, and robot hardware is slow and breakable. Some researchers instead train algorithms with virtual robots, but reality is always slightly different from simulation.
The new work overcame this “reality gap” by slightly randomizing elements of the simulation during training, such as friction and object size. (Most of the work, in both simulation and reality, was done with a child’s building block with letters on its sides.) They also gave the program short-term memory, so after a few seconds of handling the cube, it got a sense of the block’s exact size and other factors and adjusted for them.

Omega 3 supplements have little or no heart or vascular health benefit: review

Originally shared by Rob Jongschaap

Omega 3 supplements have little or no heart or vascular health benefit: review

'...New evidence published today shows there is little or no effect of omega 3 supplements on our risk of experiencing heart disease, stroke or death.

Omega 3 is a type of fat. Small amounts of omega 3 fats are essential for good health, and they can be found in the food that we eat. The main types of omega 3 fatty acids are; alphalinolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). ALA is normally found in fats from plant foods, such as nuts and seeds (walnuts and rapeseed are rich sources). EPA and DHA, collectively called long chain omega 3 fats, are naturally found in fatty fish, such as salmon and fish oils including cod liver oil.

[...]

The Cochrane researchers found that increasing long-chain omega 3 provides little if any benefit on most outcomes that they looked at. They found high certainty evidence that long-chain omega 3 fats had little or no meaningful effect on the risk of death from any cause. The risk of death from any cause was 8.8% in people who had increased their intake of omega 3 fats, compared with 9% in people in the control groups.

"Every day we are exposed to low levels of hundreds of different manmade chemicals present for example in our food, consumer products and the air we breathe.

Our environment too is exposed to a near-infinite number of chemical mixtures derived from numerous sources.

However, current safety assessment practice is primarily based on understanding the potential risk posed by single substances rather than their "real life" combinations, thus potential combination effects might be overlooked.

The European Commission's science and knowledge service, the Joint Research Centre (JRC) is investigating recent progress in considering combined exposures to multiple chemicals to help translate best science into best assessment practice. The latest policy brief, Something from nothing? Ensuring the safety of chemical mixtures, puts together issues around the topic, including the specific challenges that will further inform discussions of the working group of Commission services and EU agencies on the combination effects of chemicals".

Originally shared by Wayne Radinsky

"I have always been curious while reading novels how the characters mentioned in them would look in reality. Imagining an overall persona is still viable, but getting the description to the most profound details is quite challenging at large and often has various interpretations from person to person. Many at times, I end up imagining a very blurry face for the character until the very end of the story. It is only when the book gets translated into a movie, that the blurry face gets filled up with details. For instance, I could never imagine the exact face of Rachel from the book 'The Girl on the Train'. But when the movie came out, I could relate with Emily Blunt's face being the face of Rachel."

"My search for a dataset of faces with nice, rich and varied textual descriptions began." "The Face2Text v1.0 dataset contains natural language descriptions for 400 randomly selected images from the LFW (Labelled Faces in the Wild) dataset."

The project combines the architectures of StackGAN and ProGAN to generate faces.

... The rules of games like chess and go are prescriptive, somewhat complicated and never change. They are, in the context of AI, “well bounded.” A book teaching chess or go written 100 years ago is still relevant today. Training an AI to play one of these games takes advantage of this “boundedness” in a variety of interesting ways, including letting the AI decide how it will play.

Now, however, imagine the rules of chess could change randomly at any time in any location: Chess on Tuesdays in Chicago has one set of rules but in Moscow there are a different set of rules on Thursdays. Chess players in Mexico use a completely different board, one for each month of the year. In Sweden the role for each piece can be decided by a player even after the game starts. In a situation like this it’s obviously impossible to write down a single set rules that everyone can follow at all times in all locations. This is an example of an unbounded problem. ...
