Shift Happens - Globalization and the Information Age

Information and computation capabilities are growing faster than you can imagine. Did you know? that it is estimated that 1.5 exabytes (10^18) of unique new information will be generated worldwide this year, more than the previous 5000 years. Did you know? that predictions are that by 2013 a supercomputer will exceed the computation capabilities of the human brain, and that by 2049 a $1000 computer will exceed the computation capabilities of the human rase. There so much things we don't know and we can't even imagine...

The following video, Shift Happens - Globalization and The Information Age, was originally created by Karl Fisch, and later modified by Scott McLeod. It tries to illuminate us as what living on earth in 10 or 20 years will be like.

Noi suntem Poli!

17.03.2007 - 15.000 de suflete violete au aratat in Piata Operei (locul unde s-a nascut Romania libera) ca Timisoara este mai presus de orice interese, politici, bani si coruptie. Aici se iubeste! Pana cand va realiza si restul tarii acest lucru va trece multa apa pe Bega.
Pana atunci: Forza Viola! si fiti la fel in continuare, ca nu au ce sa ne faca.


Violetii fara vina

Tesseract

In geometry, the tesseract is the four-dimensional analog of the (three-dimensional) cube, where motion along the fourth dimension is often a representation for bounded transformations of the cube through time. The tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square; or, more formally, the tesseract can be described as a regular convex 4-polytope whose boundary consists of eight cubical cells. A tessarect is a particular “hypercube”, one with only 4 dimensions.



A 3D projection of a rotating tesseract. This tesseract is suspended and oriented so that all edges, faces, and cubes are either parallel or perpendicular to the direction the projecting light is pointing. The tesseract rotates about a 2D axis perpendicular to the direction of the projecting light.

New blog

Beside this personal blog i started a new one, called "Thoughts on programming". This a blog in which i express my personal ideas in programming and some other's people ideas which i agree with. I hope you'll like it.
