Robot Me

Some time ago, feels like years, my cousin's daughter proclaimed that she wanted to be a robot. She was 6 at the time, I think. Samurai Lucy probably knows the exact date of this conversation I had with my cousin, as it was on facebook.

I told my cousin that her daughter was the greatest robot ever built. Indeed we are. Our soft bodies are cushions for the hard endoskeleton that keeps our body able to be rigid. We have control circuitry distributed throughout our bodies with a central computer. That central computer is controlled by an expert system that knows how to integrate signals and train several connected neural networks.

We are the greatest robot ever built because we are self-locomotive. We create our own energy, don't need to get an external battery to replace old ones. Our computer is capable of work using single electrons and their quantum spin. Our ligature learns how to adapt to its environment, like those incredible Boston Dynamics [1] robots.

We are the greatest robot ever built because we are self propagating. This is an important distinction because it supports panspermia [2]. From a tiny sperm with half of the host DNA and a gigantic egg with a whole bunch of DNA, their combination as a single cell turns into a trillion cells capable of writing this blog.

Imagine those BD guys making those robots. One day they think, hey, how small can we make these robots. So they make lots of tiny robots, and even more tiny robots, and then nanoscale robots [3]. Now how do we make more of these monsters? That's tough, because we're manufacturing stuff, and that makes for waste and inefficiency. So those BD guys get to thinking again. How do we get this robot to make itself.

So they make two pieces from a host. One that is the real host, the egg cell, with programming and capability to divide and make more of itself. Then the other is the "randomizer" code that is used to diversify the robots. Diversity is the mission profile of science, so these robots were made for scientific exploration.

Where do we get the raw resources to make the robot, though? That's dirt. From dirt we get "food" which is just fancy dirt. Put that into a chemical reactor and pull off some carbon, oxygen, water, and electrons, and now you have a fuel cell. To clean up the chem byproduct, we can use bacteria (specialized nano robots) to convert even more complex molecular products.

Now we have a fully operational robot that can adapt to its environment, propagate itself, and create its own energy. It can also heal itself when it is damaged, and in some cases, can even grow new support "organs." [4]

Imagine you are stuck on a planet too, just like us. You create robotic satellites that explore the galaxy, and you send some robots out there like our Curiosity rover. They break and the mission is over. That really stinks. So you ask these BD guys to create you a dynamic robot that will not break so easily. You can't send it in a long space mission because it needs energy, so you keep it in a simple form, the two part DNA package (sperm and egg) and send it out into space. [5]

The real question is how do you communicate with your space fairing robot? Do you program quantum entanglement so the robot's brain entangles with the origin system? Until we find a way to detect quantum entangled communication we will never know for sure. If it is entanglement, then we should be able to detect it across both space and time.

THE RISE OF FASCIST SOCIAL MEDIA

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines fascism as: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control .  The phrase "dictatorial control" is important for the case that I am going to make about fascism in social media. The word "dictatorial" means "of or relating to a dictator," and a dictator is "one ruling in an absolute and often oppressive way." In 2020, social media has seen a rise in the number of autocratic events of censorship. The two social media outlets that I am going to focus on are Facebook and Twitter.  Background Facebook is a semi-private curated blogging platform where you, the user, share information at your leisure. The public part of Facebook is in Facebook Groups. With a group, outside people who are not privy to your "Facebook Wall" will join your group and establish a communal discourse. This can be private, by invitation only, or public. The Facebook is auth-walled so that you must ...

Clustered Foolishness

I had morning coffee with a well respected friend of mine recently. Aside from chatting about the usual wifery and family, we touched on the subject of clustered indices and SQL Server performance. A common misconception in the software industry is that a clustered index will make your database queries faster. In fact, most cases will demonstrate the polar opposite of this assumption. The reason for this misconception is a misunderstanding of how the clustered index works in any database server. A clustered index is a node clustering of records that share a common index value. When you decide on an index strategy for your data, you must consider the range of data to be indexed. Remember back to your data structures classes and what you were taught about hashtable optimizations. A hashtable, which is another way of saying a database index, is just a table of N values that organizes a set of M records in quickly accessible lists that are of order L, where L is significantly less than M. ...

Trademarks In The Dark

If you have a business, then you know that filing for a trademark is pretty easy in the USA. You just go to the USPTO web site ( www.uspto.gov ) and start filling out the form. The cost is significantly less now, nearly a third of what it was a couple of years ago. That's great news. What you don't know about your mark, though, is that there is a plethora of common law that dictates whether or not you can file with your specimens. The specimens are documents that clearly show your mark being used in commerce. Well, my last mark registration came back to me with the examiner asking for a better specimen that places the mark in closer proximity to evidence of commerce. Closer proximity. Yeah. Right. Apparently Lands’ End, Inc. v. Manbeck, 797 F. Supp. 511, 514, 24 USPQ2d 1314, 1316 (E.D. Va. 1992); In re Dell Inc., 71 USPQ2d 1725, 1727-1729 (TTAB 2004); In re MediaShare Corp., 43 USPQ2d 1304 (TTAB 1997); TMEP §§904.06(a) and (b), establish some common law that determines an acce...
