Canon digital still-camera captures motion better than the camcorders!

A Start-up or a PhD? - that is the question

That is the question I started to ask myself like an year ago, when I was about to finish my BS. I've always wanted to create my own AI-research company where to develop my theories... Always means at least since my late teenage years. However, this is still a dream. :) I've met several appropriate people during the years, but it was just an exchange of thoughts.... Last year I realized something which sounded a bit like a paradox: what is better - to create your own research-company after you are a BS or an MS, or to go...

White bread is killing neurons?! | Белият хляб убива нервни клекти?!

English - see belowМного се смях, когато видях този надпис в Англия:Приятелят ми, с когото се разхождахме в парка обаче отбеляза, че белият хляб бил много вреден и за хората, ама... Не се замислих с какво точно е толкова вреден. Че е по-мазен? Или че по-трудно се храносмила?После имах колеги, които не ядат хляб, и ми обясняваха за вредата от прясното мляко, заради трудното разграждане на лактозата и мазнините. Бях чувал, но засега стомахът...

Evolution Issue - two compatible superior mutants in the same space and time?

Biological evolution is a cool concept, but it has issues.That's what I thought about recently:1. If one new-born creature is evolved to a new superior, "better fitted" type, then it will be genetically incompatible with the type of his or her mother. First of all, will it develop right in his mother, if it is genetically altered new type?2. Then in order the randomly mutated type to continue to exist, two compatible mutants should be born in a near time-space, and they must bond...3. On the other hand, if there are very few...
