10 years ago, I started a journey with the goal of fixing the Internet (Web and Apps). I took a detour into Philosophy, Neuroscience, Mathematics and Programming. And in the past 2 years,

That feeling when you understand a discovery you made years ago. That feeling when you understand what discovery means. That feeling when you understand what understanding means. That feeling when you understand what

That feeling when you realize that Aristotle shaped our thinking in subtle ways that are extremely hard to disentangle. The implicit is the enemy of understanding, before defeating it, one must make it

A typical AI problem involves quite a bit of tinkering before the model can start learning. Say you want to recognize objects; you need a fairly large number of pictures depicting the objects

When attending a neuroscience meeting, one realizes how little we do know about brains. This is strikingly different from the feeling one gets at some AI meetings where even the ethical implications of

As a kid, Space: 1999 inspired me - and sometimes scared me. Back in the days, I watched as many episodes as possible, religiously waiting for the next episode to be aired. I

Following up on the previous post, here are some of the problems that should be solved by a new generation of Internet services: how do I keep information integrated as opposed to integrating

The previous post was about the historical perspective of the traditional approach to modelling. Here the objective is to devise a new approach to develop Internet services and to avoid the fragmentation of

Humans constantly try to devise appropriate ways to describe their experiences. Many great thinkers have had their say: Man tries to make for himself in the fashion that suits him best a simplified

November in Capri. Past glories tanning in the transparent water. One tends to forget how blessed southern Europe is, climate wise. In England by this time of the day, some retirees are having

Recently I came across two papers about the C. elegans, a tiny translucent worm. The papers are interesting because they help shed some light on how brains work. In fact, despite the constant

Accelerating technology and its impact on societies, cultures and economies of the world is impossibile to ignore. Some societies refuse to embrace the future and consequently accept to change, others evolve: Stubborn societies,

For those interested in understanding where computers come from. Technology as humble as the keyboard, the mouse or hi-def CRT, video cameras, the word processor or video conferencing. This was the most advanced

This is a very well written article about how git and github could be used to re-engineer government processes. As with most innovations that the Internet has brought about, git was created by
