The two stage vector interpretation of quantum theory apart from attempting to resolve the paradoxes of traditional quantum theory provides a physical basis for teleology and understanding how there is a small probability that future events affect present ones.
Artificial intelligence gets smarter, more capable, and more world-transforming every day. Here’s why that might not be a good thing.

This educational video about cellular automata was filmed, narrated, and edited by Rudy Rucker in 1990, using some “CA Lab” software he worled on at Autodesk. Renamed “Cellab,” the software and manual are available for free on Rucker’s website.
Cornell University researchers have created an interface that allows users to handwrite and sketch within computer code – a challenge to conventional coding, which typically relies on typing.
The pen-based interface, called Notate, lets users of computational, digital notebooks open drawing canvases and handwrite diagrams within lines of traditional, digitized computer code.
Powered by a deep learning model, the interface bridges handwritten and textual programming contexts: notation in the handwritten diagram can reference textual code and vice versa. For instance, Notate recognizes handwritten programming symbols, like “n”, and then links them up to their typewritten equivalents.

A machine learning model has revealed how crystals of sodium chloride slowly weaken and then rapidly crumble to dissolve in water.
After decades of research, robots are finally starting to take over farms — it isn’t clear how human workers will be affected.
There are now quite a few electric surfboards on the market, and they almost all work in the same way – their jet drive runs for as long as you squeeze a throttle on a handheld remote. The Jetson is different, in that it provides temporary boosts as needed.
Manufactured by Florida-based startup Jetson Surf Technology, the board is currently the subject of an Indiegogo campaign.
