Computers en internetA greyhound catching the mechanical lure—what would he actually do with it? Has he given this any thought? Bostrom’s previous book, Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies changed the global conversation on AI and became a New York Times bestseller. It focused on what might happen if AI development goes wrong. But what if things go right? Suppose that we develop superintelligence safely, govern it well, and make good use of the cornucopian wealth and near magical technological powers that this technology can unlock. If this transition to the machine intelligence era goes well, human labor becomes obsolete. We would thus enter a condition of "post-instrumentality", in which our efforts are not needed for any practical purpose. Furthermore, at technological maturity, human nature becomes entirely malleable. Here we confront a challenge that is not technological but philosophical and spiritual. In such a solved world, what is

Computers en internet'An invaluable companion for anyone who wants a deep understanding of what’s under the hood of often inscrutable machines' Melanie Mitchell A rich, narrative explanation of the mathematics that has brought us machine learning and the ongoing explosion of artificial intelligence Machine-learning systems are making life-altering decisions for us: approving mortgage loans, determining whether a tumour is cancerous, or deciding whether someone gets bail. They now influence discoveries in chemistry, biology and physics - the study of genomes, extra-solar planets, even the intricacies of quantum systems. We are living through a revolution in artificial intelligence that is not slowing down. This major shift is based on simple mathematics, some of which goes back centuries: linear algebra and calculus, the stuff of eighteenth-century mathematics. Indeed by the mid-1850s, a lot of the groundwork was all done. It took the development of computer science and the kindling of 1990s computer chi

ComputersWe all like to think we're pretty savvy when it comes to using our Macs, and in the case of the typical Macworld reader, that's usually true. But there's a funny thing we've noticed when we talk even to veteran Mac users: There's almost always some essential stuff—basic things that would make their Mac use easier or more efficient—that they've either forgotten or never learned. So we got some Macworld editors and contributors together and asked: What are the things that every Mac user should know how to do? Not the really basic stuff—Command-C, Command-V, and so on—but the skills and knowledge that mark you as Mac-literate. After much pondering and discussion, we came up with a list of 100 items that fit the bill. Those skills run the gamut from startup to shutdown: they include smart ways to manage files and accounts, search, and customize your Mac. We'll bet that you already know many of them. But we'll also bet that you don't know them all. And if you can really

Apple transformeerde van een niche-speler op de computermarkt tot het grootste bedrijf ter wereld. De wereld ging van offline naar online. Van floppies via cd’tjes en usb-sticks naar Dropbox.

Beloved features like the "Save As" command have made a reappearance, while apps previously only available on iOS are debuting on the Mac. Whether you’re a relatively new Mac user or someone who remembers the days before there were three colored buttons in the upper left corner of every Mac window, Mountain Lion has something new for you. In this book, we’ve assembled in-depth looks at all of Mountain Lion’s new features and adju

InternetTechnologie en het internet beheersen in grote mate ons leven, maar er is amper democratische controle op de bedrijven die deze wereld vormgeven. Of het nu gaat om de toeslagenaffaire of de oorlog in Oekraïne, techbedrijven spelen een steeds dominantere rol in onze wereld. Helaas is wat goed is voor de aandeelhouders niet automatisch goed voor de samenleving. Te lang hebben politici ruimte gegeven aan het marktdenken; het is nu dringend tijd dat de democratie weer de overhand krijgt. In 'De tech coup' deelt technologiebeleidsexpert Marietje Schaake uit de eerste hand en op basis van haar eigen ervaringen in het Europarlement hoe grote en kleine technologiebedrijven de wereld regeren. De huidige situatie vereist nieuwe oplossingen, vooral omdat doorbraken in kunstmatige intelligentie de machtsconcentratie van een handvol technische elites verder intensiveren. 'De tech coup' is een bij vlagen bloedstollende beschrijving van hoe we de controle over ‘big tech’ verloren – en een noo

BesturingssystemenWhile using an iOS device isn’t hard—and that's partially why we love them—even savvy users like Macworld readers have holes in their iPhone and iPad knowledge.

NetwerkIn this "intriguing, insightful and extremely educational" novel, the world's most famous hacker teaches you easy cloaking and counter-measures for citizens and consumers in the age of Big Brother and Big Data (Frank W.

For all of neuroscience's advances, we've made little progress on its biggest question: How do simple cells in the brain create intelligence? Jeff Hawkins and his team discovered that the brain uses maplike structures to build a model of the world—not just one model, but hundreds of thousands of models of everything we know. This discovery allows Hawkins to answer important questions about how we perceive the world, why we have a sense of self, and the origin of high-level thought.

ComputersTwo years ago, we adapted a feature from Macworld into a book called 100 Things Every Mac User Should Know. The idea was to compile a bunch of tidbits—keyboard shortcuts, Finder techniques, and the like—that we thought every savvy Mac user should understand and feel confident about using: not ABC beginner stuff, and not truly esoteric expert-level maneuvers, but the kinds of things that mark you as experienced and informed. Of course, there are a lot more than 100 such things. So we decided to revisit the idea, coming up with another 100 pieces of Mac-related information we think users should have at their command. So, yes: You now have 200 things you need to know. As we said back in 2011: We’re sure you know a lot of the things we’ve listed here. But we bet that very, very few of you, if you’re really being honest, can say you know them all. Check them out, and let us know if we’re wrong.
