Great app.

One feature request though, it would be very useful to be able to view the complete URL of HTTP connections. God knows how many times I had to setup a local proxy to find out that information.
A big part of the brain is the divide between conscious and unconscious. Your brain is constantly making random associations. If I read an article about Steve Jobs, I might remember something a friend said 10 years ago about him; and then I might remember that this friend lives in Brooklyn now; and then think about other people I know who live in Brooklyn. The brain just likes to make connections; perhaps synesthesia is an example of it getting slightly overworked.

I would say the unconscious part is basically the equivalent of a visiting a web page, Googling every term on that page, visiting those pages, and repeat nauseum (so like an inverted index perhaps on concepts/ideas/sensations rather than terms).

As for the conscious part, that's where the magic is. The unconscious brains generates breathtaking amounts of useless crap, but the conscious brain manages to filter it and do things like design software and make movies. I can't really speculate on how the conscious mind does this. Creativity is different than recall.

There is a feedback loop too. If your conscious mind starts ruminating on stuff, then the unconscious mind will generate more of it. We had a discussion about how writing down dreams causes you to produce/remember more of them. There is also the phenomena of playing a game like Tetris or Scrabble, and then your unconscious brain starts "rehearsing" all the moves in the background (sometimes against your will). It knows what you've been doing and just starts going off and making connections.

(If you are interested in this general subject, read "On Intelligence" by Jeff Hawkins. It will at least get you thinking and he has pretty fairly concrete ideas. He doesn't go into what I am writing about here, but as far a books that pertain to your question, I was reminded of it.)
I'm using the absolute value. The game has "tolerance" depending on the amount of letters you have to kern. So, if you have to kern 1 letter, you get 1px tolerance. 5 letters has 5px tolerance, and so on.
This is an interesting topic which I have not found an adequate answer.

I wish we could someday know this and learn to control what we want to store for later use and what not to.
It really shouldn't be so hard to put a TPM in autonomous killer robots and only let digitally signed code run. That should make it much harder for hackers.

-It is more biologically plausible then any other NN algorithm I've seen

-It results in creativity (in the video he has the computer "imagine the number 2")

-It pretty much explains why we need to sleep/dream. The network has to be run both forward (accepting sensory input) and backwards (generating simulated sensory input) in order to learn

-It emphasizes the point that the brain is NOT trying to do matrix multiply (or any other deterministic calculation) with random elements (if it was trying to be an analog computer it would be). The randomness is an essential part of the algorithm.

Steve Jobs talks about the Crazy Ones - who think different.
While most of the commenters here discuss what Stallman said and what he actualy meant, whether it was distasteful or not, and whether Jobs was a modern day messiah who single-handedly changed the world we live in or just a smart business man with a very good sense of choosing the right people to create the products that he envisioned, I'd like to take a minute to think about what is actually proposed in this article - the forking of FSF. It's quite obvious from the article that the reason the author suggests something like that is not because his views on software freedom somehow differ than those of Stallman, but because he has issues with Stallman himself, or more precisely, with his publicly expressed opinions. He feels that they hurt FSF and free software in general. Isn't then the solution to the problem to, through some electoral process, replace Stallman and put a new figure at the head of FSF? Somebody more tactful, more careful about how they say what they mean (if that's truly the kind of a person memebers of FSF would like to see in charge)? Starting a new foundation with exactly the same goals as FSF, just because you don't like Stallman's public statements, seems pointless to me.

I would love to support Snow Leopard, and it's something I'll work on next. Lion simply brought some much-needed upgrades to table based UI development, which I wanted to use. It cut down the development time by a significant amount.

Supporting Snow Leopard requires a rewrite for most of the UI logic. I wanted to get the first version out before crossing that bog.
Who died and made RMS the King of England? That is his definition of Free Software and he is welcome to it. Not everyone else follows his definition, in fact I would say most don't. So much so that his pronouncements about this and that violates Freedom turn people off the movement. His inability to function as public figure just makes it worse(ie his publication about SJ's death being a victory for Freedom.)

He has done some great stuff, that doesn't excuse his faults. Basically him being the leader of the free software movement reminds me of the old line about being promoted to the level of greatest incompetence. When people talk about him stepping down they mean as president of the FSF. They want to see the organization focus on being useful rather than being ideological because they think the ideological stance rather marginalizes the movement. I know when I come into contact with free software 9 out of 10 times the FSF isn't involved.
Gosh, I certainly did not mean the latter. I'm ok with Stallman being crude on his own. I am not ok with this behaviour representing the free software movement.
They can maintain that "retina" claim as long as the marketing department gets away with it. I think they can easily get away with that down to 200 pixels per inch or so (anecdata: I am myopic, but cannot really see the individual pixels on an iPad 1 Or current iPod touch)

I guess that the extra wiring needed for retina resolution means that you need more backlight to get the same display brightness. If so, one way to market a slightly larger display with say 250 pixels per inch would be by stressing it as having better battery life ('easier to see for the elderly' would work, too, but such a line does not fit Apple's image well)

"People with a passion can change the world... Those people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who actually do"

Lyrics -
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.

The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond﻿ of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward.

While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the﻿ ones who do.

In France, such conditions are enforceable... if you pay the guy an indemnity essentially equal to his former salary * duration, for doing nothing instead of working for the competition.

This ensures that such clauses are only enforced when it _really_ makes business sense. But they're often included in contracts anyway, because many employees ignore that they're unenforceable.
There has been done a lot of work on this issue specifically to the mental lexicon, of lexemes/entities of language, and its storage. A lot of it was based on psychological testing, for example reaction times when words are presented that are somehow associated etc.

I guess that, while on a neurological level storage of different types of memory might work similar, the 'data structure' is perhaps different.

If you dont follow fsf's definition of 'Free Software', then
1) Why would you care if FSF is ideological or practical?
2) Why dont you define your meaning of 'free software' and give it a name? Thats what esr did and named it open source.

If you dont care about free software (with rms'es definition), why do you want FSF to function differet? Why would you care? Why would FSF and rms chage their direction towards what you value as 'software freedom'?
Are campaigns like Bad Vista and Windows Sins really promoting free software, or bagging on non-free software? It is campaigns like these that can make you question, does the FSF really send the right message about free software. They certainly have a lot of positive campaigns, but some people could be put off by the almost 'smear campaigns' that the FSF supports.
Raspberry Pi is doing a great job of keeping up buzz on their site while the hardware isn't ready yet.

So many sites peddling vapourware could learn a thing or two here.
Just to have you elaborate then: you are against all forms of civil disobedience that cause harm? Is it that you believe movements can succeed without such tactics (e.g. that the civil rights movement would have succeeded without the race riots and that the earlier mill rights movements would have succeeded without violence) or that you are against all such social change?
The systems are less specialized than we all would hope. Even with our massive budget the military is still 'forced' to use existing tech, which opens them up to situations like this.

And if you think this little press release means anything to actual national security, you have much to learn about our secret war against terrorism.

The problem with hardcore ideologists is that they always end up bickering about details with other hardcore ideologists. This is fine, and it's their right to do so, but from a distance it will make the movement they all represent together look like a bunch of fighting children.

Any activist group that has ever made a difference in history has had leaders who were able to accept their minor differences and fight together for the greater good (until the fight was won, at least)

RMS is entirely incapable of separating main points from side issues. This makes it impossible for him to make peace with people who are, in fact, on his side. How can you expect someone like that to ever gain the amount of support needed to really push a globally relevant point forward? The world of software isn't a village council.

This man might have been a great programmer, but as an activist, he's a joke.

The question is fundamentally flawed, in that "data structure" is a concept used by programmers to communicate with computers (or between programmers).

A comparable question would be wondering whether the computer you are using right now, at this point in time, is inside a for loop, or a while loop, or it's just using tail recursion.

Sure some cognitive scientist can make my point more explicit, sorry that all I can only offer is a counterexample.

"There are those who always speak of themselves, and they are either insecure or proud. There are those who always speak of others. They are usually very boring. There are those who speak of stirring ideas, compelling books, .."

I too thought the Bad Vista campaign was in horribly taste and ineffective. Hell, it wasn't too horribly accurate either from what I remember.
I've never advocated finding another leader of the FSF ... But I am afraid that it will become completely irrelevant if it's viewed as an extremist organization. I think the real danger is that it's membership will decide not to be associated with it and it's funding will dry up. RMS hasn't really said where his income comes from, but I'm assuming he's paid as the FSF's leader. Assuming that RMS' marketable skills revolve around software, wouldn't it be ironic if he had to develop closed software to support himself? Given his current extremist stance, I suspect he'd choose to starve first.
Short answer: A graph.

All data structures are simplified graphs.

The state of the physical universe is a massive graph in which interconnected objects are themselves massive assemblies of graphs of atoms and the atoms are graphs of subatomic particles. It's graphs all the way down. The properties of all systems - physical, chemical, economic, biological - emerge from the interactions between simple connected elements.

My opinion is that all knowledge is representable as a connected graph. The disconnect between our computers and our minds arises from the fact that brains are categorically not numerical machines but graph processing and pattern recognition engines. Neural networks are the underlying hardware and, with the typical elegance of nature, these are also graphs.

It should be possible to build a graph based language. The basic "Elements" [SICP] are easy to realise:

1. Primitive Expressions are graph nodes. They have identity and not much else.

2. Means of combination. Graphs can be added, subtracted etc.

3. Abstraction. A graph can be abstracted into a single node. We have no problem looking at a complex assembly of components as a single entity.

Since Google and Facebook are two massive platforms whose value arise from direct interaction with planet-scale graphs with billions of nodes, would these platforms be easier to build if our computers were more graph oriented? I would like to believe so.
When the concerns of an individual are focussed so intently on a particular licensing agreement for their works that they lose the perspective that the death of any being is a sad thing. At that point, I’m afraid, I no longer can regard that person as sane, i.e. in control of their own mind.

I am grateful for the work the FSF has done in the past, but I’m also grateful for the work Steve Jobs has done.

Fanatical and extremist views lead to misery for the owner of the views and for those they effect. It doesn’t matter if the views are religious, political or just software licenses.

I don’t believe you need to defend RMS - I can separate the ideas from the man. However the FSF has just had it’s reputation burnt severely and if they want to have any useful contribution towards the ongoing debate about how best to move the industry forward they should reconsider the ir public image.

That is if they want to increase their support and not end up a fringe group.

I’m a great fan of open source software and have been for the last 23 years but let’s be clear - the producer of software always has the right to choose what license they have, that is their freedom and that was the freedom that Steve Jobs like many others chose. Sometimes the license was open source (Darwin, WebKit etc.) sometime it wasn’t, he chose, that was his freedom as the producer of the work. Freedom is such a loaded word but how often do we stop to see the freedom of other people not just our own when we cry it’s name.

When people cannot see the freedoms of others but only talk about their own freedom, be suspicious. Because their agenda is the most important thing to them, not the wellbeing of others.

I wish a long life to RMS, to the FSF and to open source itself. I would like to see a very quick end to a world view that is filled with contempt and hate for other people which is poisoning all three.

Gremlin is a graph-based language (http://gremlin.tinkerpop.com/).
Our insights in memory formation are still limited. The most studied candidate is LTP/D[1], the change of weights of synapses between neurons. Memory formation is a complex process though. While LTP can be induced with a short burst of spikes, its stabilization and maintainance depends on a sizeable number of molecules and genes. We still don't know at what level the memories may be stored, it could be the level of single synapses, groups of synapses, the level of single neurons or ensembles of neurons.

There are experiments involving fear memory that have shown that a fearful event can be "stored" in an ensemble of identifiable neurons, and even be turned on and off [2].

Then there are brain rhythms and sleep. Memories would become overwritten if they were stored in the same circuits over and over, so there are various theories about how memories are transferred to various parts of the cortex via coordinated rhytmic activity or sleep.

Closer to your question, the data structure that our serial thinking brain uses is language. We think, reason and communicate using it. Language has a tree-like syntax, but semantics are an unsolved problem. There is even a theory that suggests that brain rhythms may encode "sentences" into thoughts via neuronal oscillations[3].

Well, my bet is on it being something of a mix between bloom filter and a graph. i.e the interconnectedness of graph and the probabilistic nature of Bloom filter both would be a fundamental element. Ofcourse, this will make sense only as a simulation model of the black box that's our brain/neurons/neural pathways.
