Analysis of sedimentary rocks from the mid-Proterozoic interval reveals traces of protosteroids, suggesting the widespread presence of stem-group eukaryotes that predated and co-existed with the crown-group ancestors of modern eukaryotes.

Today, we explore a timelapse of the future, specifically future technology. How will technology look 1,000 years from now? In the world today, many technologies are accelerating exponentially. Humans are discovering things that would mystify scientists even a few decades ago, but our progress resembles a blip in the grand scale of our technological evolution over the next millennium.

As a philosophy student, I was bewitched by the power of reason – but my life is freer since I escaped from its spell.
The Futures Conference is coming to Sydney, Australia. Metaverse means Community. Technology is the pathway to the Future. The Arts meets Science meets Tech meets Business.
China has reached reportedly a secret deal with Cuba, under the deal China would be allowed to install an electronic eavesdropping facility on the island nation. This has surely become a matter for Washington.
But as the typical mutual fund disclaimer so famously states, past performance is no guarantee of future results. It’s time to rethink our love affair with depth. The pendulum between depth and breadth has swung too far in favor of depth.
There’s an oft-quoted saying that “to a man with a hammer, everything looks like nails.” But what if that man had a hammer, a screwdriver, and a wrench? Might he or she look to see if the flat top had a narrow slit, suggesting the use of a screwdriver? Or perhaps consider the shape of the flat top. Circle? Hexagon? Could a wrench be a more effective tool? And finally, the mere addition of these tools can encourage a better understanding of a problem.
This is not to suggest that deep expertise is useless. Au contraire. Carrying a hammer is not a problem.

Meta says people want a communications platform that’s “sanely run.”
A mention of his village in a 13th-century inscription stone made P L Udaya Kumar quit his job and start preserving the history of Bengaluru localities.
The Birthplace of AI
Posted in futurism, robotics/AI
Everyone is talking AI will do this AI will do that. Was that what people intended AI to do?
1) How will AI help meet demands.
2) How will AI help solve problems.
We often need to know our past to chart our future.
The Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence was a summer workshop widely considered to be the founding moment of artificial intelligence as a field of research. Held for eight weeks in Hanover, New Hampshire in 1956 the conference gathered 20 of the brightest minds in computer-and cognitive science for a workshop dedicated to the conjecture:
