The following was posted by Bob Hawkins in the RIME Science
Conference.


    The 26 March 1992 issue of _Nature_ has an article on page
273 titled "Japan stubs its toes on fifth-generation computer,"
by Christopher Anderson. Some quotes:
    "Japan's once mighty fifth-generation computer project,
which in the early 1980s sent Western governments scurrying to
set up competing computer initiatives, has fallen far short of
its mark.
    "The 10-year project was due to finish at the end of this
month, but it has lagged so far behind schedule that the
Japanese government has given the project an extra year to inch
closer to its target.
    "Launched in 1982 by the Ministry of International Trade and
Industry (MITI), the fifth-generation project set out to develop
a massive 'user friendly' parallel computer with 1,000
processors. Its software was based on logic rather than on
classic structured programming. The Japanese initiative raised
fears that Japan was about to take over the world's advanced
computer market and sparked many competing projects in the West,
such as the UK's Alvey project.
    "But, after ten years and an investment of more than $400
million, all Japan has produced is a handful of parallel
computers, the largest three of which have only a quarter of the
target number of processors. And only a limited number of
computer experts know how to operate them.
        ...
    "The fifth-generation computer project is a classic example
of how the rigid Japanese bureaucracy can foil a national
project. By the mid-1980s, it was clear that other approaches to
parallel computing not based on traditional artificial
intelligence techniques, such as neural networks or the
massively parallel machines created by Thinking Machines Inc. of
the United States, looked more promising. But having told the
Ministry of Finance that it would build a 1,000-processor
machine, MITI had no choice but to continue towards that goal.
MITI officials fully realize their failings, however, and in
their next 'sixth generation' computer project they intend to
set more flexible goals.
        ...
    "US researchers found the fifth-generation computers to be
slow, cryptic and filled with bugs...."

Yes, but the cruical word here is *new*.  The point about using rotating
cylinders, wormholes or spinning blackholes is that they are attempts to
construct time machines from *existing* physics, and do not offer the new
degrees of freedom needed for the creation of parallel timelines.

I have a to admit that I have a soft spot for the parallel timelines
approach to time travel and I hope that something turns up (from the
future?).  It would explain the strange disappearance of the Time
Traveller, biographised so dramatically by H.G. Wells.  He simply returned
to a parallel time track (after rescuing Weena from the clutches of the
Morlocks, of course).  Since the Time Traveller built a transportable
time machine we can conclude that it *is* based on some
as-yet-undiscovered principle.  Clever chaps, those Victorians.

Subject:      memes,ethics,ploys

How does memetics vary from game theory's analysis of stategies, in the evoluti
onary context (Axelrod, maybe Dawkins), and from cultural anthropologists'
(e.g. Marvin Harris, "Cows Pigs Wars & Witches" ) approach which views ethics
as survival strategies ? I ask because i'm never quite sure what extropians
mean by memetics, or what the frame of reference of the discussion is.  Anybody
out there read Karl Hess Jr.'s book on how ecosystems process information like
markets do? How does praxeology (Smith, Heinlein) or socioeconomics fit here if
at all?
I note that Perry Willis has been axed and the Marrou campain shifted to D.C.
- does anyone have the inside story on this or guesses about what the effects
will be?         - robbin

Actually, here at Brown we are running a Kerberized version of Eudora,

Hello
Node TREARN was down during the period 4.4.92-9.4.92. On 4th April,
the hardware problem started and since it was a holiday, it took
some time to get the IBM technicians.. After 3days' hard work we are
back to the networld.. Files destined to TR nodes were put on tapes on
MOP22 and sent us by air mail. Files destined to the world from TR nodes
are on their way.. Affected nodes were all TR nodes and affected servers
were all servers at TR nodes.. We are sorry for the inconvenience...

Regards

Esra

I've scheduled the USCVM system down this coming Saturday, 18 Apr 1992,
at 12:01 a.m. for twelve hours.  We'll use this time to move the USCVM
system from the IBM 3090-200E to the new IBM 9121-320.  It's very
likely that USCVM will be back on the air long before noon on Satur-
day--all that we really have to do is to pull cables--but we're playing
it safe.

The MVS system runs as a virtual machine under USCVM.  As such, it will
be down during the hours that USCVM is down.

Is now 02:38AM  EDT Monday - the  3084 that houses VTVM2  and VTBIT just
took a  fairly massive machine check.  IBM has been notified,  but we do
not have an  estimate for uptime, but  it will probably be 4AM  or so at
the earliest -  this assumes that it  comes back with just an  IML and a
CKPT start.  If parts  are required,  that will add  to the  downtime by
several hours.

All links into or out of VTBIT,  and the backbone LISTSERVs at VTVM1 and
VTVM2, plus bitnet access to all  other Virginia Tech nodes, will be out
until the machine is back up.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Subject:      Node WOOSTER down April 20, 1992

 Node WOOSTER will be down for a short period of time on Monday,
April 20, 1992.

 We will be updating our communication software. We will also be installing a
BITnet II link (56 KB) to Ohio State (OHSTVMA). Our 9600 baud link to the
University of Akron (AKRON) will remain active throughout the testing of the
BITnet II link. THe 9600 baud line is scheduled for removal in the near future.

 Please note that WOOSTER is an end node.

 Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
