Meanwhile, you show a 2-year-old human one cat, cast all the shadows you want, and the toddler will recognize that kitty. A computer has to see, say, a million pictures of cats before it can recognize one, and even then all it takes to trip up the algorithm is a shadow. Programmers train the neural networks, telling them when they’re right and when they’re wrong, whereas living systems figure things out for themselves, and with small amounts of data to boot. Rather than dealing in symbols and algorithms, neural networks represent data in large webs of associations, where one wrong digit doesn’t matter so long as more of them are right, and from a few sketchy clues- stripe, rustle, orange, eye-the network can bootstrap a half-decent guess- tiger!Īrtificial neural networks have led to breakthroughs in machine learning and big data, but they still seemed, to Calvo, a far cry from living intelligence. Courtesy of Universidad de Murcia.Ĭalvo went to the University of California San Diego to work on artificial neural networks. THE PLANT WHISPERER: Paco Calvo once studied artificial intelligence to determine whether it could help unlock secrets of cognition. “My hunch was that there was something really wrong, something deeply distorted about the very idea that cognition had to do with manipulating symbols or following rules,” Calvo says. While a computer’s reasoning is only as good as the data you feed it, a human can intuit a lot from just a few vague hints-a skill that surely helped on the savannah when we had to recognize a tiger hiding in the bushes from just a few broken stripes. Humans are good at something else: noticing patterns, intuiting, functioning in the face of ambiguity, error, and noise. Computers are good at logic, at carrying out long, precise calculations-not exactly humanity’s shining skill. Computers manipulate their representations according to logical rules, or algorithms, and brains, by analogy, were believed to do the same. Just as computers represent data in transistors, which can be in “on” or “off” states corresponding to 0s and 1s, brains were thought to represent data in the states of their neurons, which could be “on” or “off” depending on whether they fire. When he began studying cognitive science in the 1990s, the dominant view was the brain was a kind of computer. As a philosopher, he was busy trying to understand human minds. Let’s rethink our whole theoretical framework.”Ĭalvo wasn’t into plants, either. If the stuff that plants do deserves the label ‘cognitive,’ then so be it. Maybe that’s not how our intelligence works, either. “That’s framing the problem from the wrong perspective. “When I open up a plant, where could intelligence reside?” Calvo says. ![]() Cognition boils down to the firings of neurons in our brains. That theory goes by names like “cognitivism,” “computationalism,” or “representational theory of mind.” It says, in short, the mind is in the head. It’s easy to dismiss such claims because they fly in the face of our leading theory of cognitive science. ![]() I was, according to Paco Calvo, guilty of “plant blindness.” Calvo, who runs the Minimal Intelligence Lab at the University of Murcia in Spain where he studies plant behavior, says that to be plant blind is to fail to see plants for what they really are: cognitive organisms endowed with memories, perceptions, and feelings, capable of learning from the past and anticipating the future, able to sense and experience the world. ![]() To understand how human minds work, he started with plants. But what never occurred to me, not even once, was to wonder what the plants were thinking. Bushwhacking through my apartment, I worried whether the plants were getting enough water, or too much water, or the right kind of light-or, in the case of a giant carnivorous pitcher plant hanging from the ceiling, whether I was leaving enough fish food in its traps. When the pandemic hit, I brought more of them home, just to add some life to the place, and then there were more, and more still, until the ratio of plants to household surfaces bordered on deranged. During the day, its leaves would splay flat, sunbathing, but at night they’d clamber over one another to stand at attention, their stems steadily rising as the leaves turned vertical, like hands in prayer. Had something scurried? A mouse? Three jumpy nights passed before I realized what was happening: The plant was moving. The night I brought it home I heard a rustling in my room. I was never into house plants until I bought one on a whim-a prayer plant, it was called, a lush, leafy thing with painterly green spots and ribs of bright red veins.

On the Nordschleife, I think such eye candy is important, because the track is not only defined by its design, but the general atmosphere, it is special, and I hope that Kunos manage to catch that up a bit - thus in another thread I said that I hope they also pay good attention to get the looks of the surrounding landscape at greater distance. The rF to GSC conversion does a pretty good job in that regard. Try it in GSC at dusk or dawn, say 1600 or 1630, and you see that the trackside and the lights of the cars and the sunset in the sky all melt together nicely. As i said in the Nürburgring feedback thread, I like that track very much, it is a great track to race on with the most detailed representation of the track's design I have ever virutally raced on - but the surrounding environment looks a bit sterile, and lifeless, and just so many trackside objects are missing. I hope that it gets adressed by modders later, and that Kunos does it differently with the Nordschleife.Īlso note that the mentioned two Nordschleife tracks also try to mimic typical individual treelines along the track. This adds great recognition potential for given parts of a track, you just cannot do it with composing such treelines or woods by just two or three generic standard forms of trees."

Journey provided two songs to the original "Tron", and their song "Separate Ways" will reportedly be on the "Legacy" soundtrack as well. ![]() I've decided to release the preliminary version of the soundtrack which includes a special remix of Journey's "Any Way You Want It" produced specifically for "Rise Of The Virals". Perhaps that is why we've seen sites like Flynn Lives creep up in anticipation of the new film. It is obvious to me that "Tron: Legacy" takes place after "The Rise Of The Virals" without abandoning its first concept. I have been most excited to see the announcement of the third film, the new "TR2N" (Tron: Legacy), especially with the involvement of those who will be creating the new soundtrack. Funding for the project was eventually pulled. After the completion of the initial tracklist and first production draft of the soundtrack, it seemed as if negotiations between Pixar and Disney had broken down. My task was to compile great underground artists to create a new soundtrack for this darker world of Tron. Furthermore, the story included the death of Flynn and presented questions about the digital life of programs lasting beyond the mortality of their creators - the users. It involved updating the ENCOM universe to a networked system (thanks to the Internet), but also created a darker world - full of programs abandoned as buggy systems (or "mutants") and abused by corrupt users as viral systems. "Rise Of The Virals" was a fantastic, but much darker storyline from the original - different from the "Into The Machine" pitch made to Disney by another party. As I understand it, the film was kept in great confidence with the producers as Pixar was still in negotiations with Disney about the responsibilities of the production teams. A draft of the story had already been written and early filming had begun (as reported by ZDNet on July 27, 1999). In late 1998, I was commissioned to compile and produce the soundtrack for a sequel to the film "Tron". Without a doubt, it's a game-changer for Daft Punk.2nd February 2011 - The album is now FREE to download again although any and all contributions are gratefully received and will be pumped straight back in to keeping the project alive. These tracks come as welcome relief from the tension Daft Punk ratchets up on almost every other piece, particularly "Rectifier" and "C.L.U." Encompassing the past, present, and future of sci-fi scores, Tron: Legacy feels like it grew and mutated from its origins the same way the film's world did. It's not until the score's second half that the duo's more typical sound emerges on "Derezzed"'s filter-disco and on "End of the Line," where witty 8-bit sounds evoke '80s video games. However, for most of Tron: Legacy, they're concerned with pushing boundaries. Daft Punk get in a few clever nods to Wendy Carlos' Tron score, from "The Grid"'s blobby analog synth tones to "Adagio for Tron"'s mournful sense of lost wonder. Elsewhere, "Recognizer"'s pulsing horns and synths and "The Son of Flynn"'s arpeggios and strings are so tightly knit that they finish each others' phrases. "The Game Has Changed" may be the most dramatic example: It starts with a wistful wisp of melody that sounds like a ghost in the machine, then swells of strings and brass and buzzsaw electronics submerge but never quite overtake it. Working with the London Orchestra, Bangalter and de Homem-Christo fuse electronic and orchestral motifs seamlessly and strikingly. ![]() Tron: Legacy's legitimacy as a score may surprise listeners unaware of Bangalter's fine work on 2003's Irreversible while that score actually hews closer to Daft Punk's sound, it showed his potential for crafting music beyond the duo's usual scope. However, Tron: Legacy takes a much darker, more serious approach than the original film and Daft Punk follows suit, delivering soaring and ominous pieces that sound more like modern classical music than any laser tag-meets-roller disco fantasies fans may have had. When it was announced that the duo would score the sequel to one of sci-fi's most visionary movies, it seemed like the perfect fit: Their sleek, neon-tipped, playful aesthetic springs from their love of late-'70s and early-'80s pop culture artifacts like Tron. "The Game Has Changed" is the name of one of the tracks on Daft Punk's score to Tron: Legacy, and it also fits Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo's music for the film. ![]() Furthermore, you can access it on all web browsers, including Google, Firefox, and Safari.

Ainley's Master performance was deliberately close to Roger Delgado's, although the sinister edge that made the original Master so intimidating in his early appearances was replaced by a more theatrical note. The second proper Master in Doctor Who, Anthony Ainley played Tremas in "The Keeper of Traken," then took over as The Master from the end of the Fourth Doctor's tenure until the show's cancellation in 1989, battling an impressive total of 4 different Doctors. ![]() Geoffrey Beevers was afforded more action than Pratt, and while his performance is a solid continuation of what Roger Delgado did (with flakier skin and and a less snappy wardrobe), it doesn't necessarily stand out among the more nuanced Master iterations in Doctor Who. Although The Doctor survived the ordeal, The Master hid in his TARDIS and took the unsuspecting Tremas (see what they did there?) as his new physical form instead. See what happens when your chameleon circuit works? The still-dying Master planned to use Traken's powerful technology to steal The Doctor's body, cheating death once again. Beevers' Master mostly remained hidden inside his TARDIS, which took the form of a stone statue worshiped by the people of Traken and known as Melkur. In this Fourth Doctor story, The Master's grotesque appearance was adapted somewhat, replacing the mask from "The Deadly Assassin" with make-up. The zombified Master clocked up a second Doctor Who credit in "The Keeper of Traken," but this time Geoffrey Beevers donned the cloak. The first Master also relied heavily on his Tissue Compression Eliminator weapon, which would turn foes into small figurines (keep the packaging, they'll be worth something one day.) The suave and sinister exterior, the inner insanity, the egotistical drive for power, and the arrogant urge to prove his superiority were all established in Delgado's early appearances. Unlike The Doctor, who has developed gradually with each regeneration, Delgado's Master establishes each of the villain's most important qualities from the off, laying a foundation the remains largely unaltered to this day. Thus, The Master was created, and Roger Delgado was the first in a long legacy of actors cast. Producers decided that the exiled Doctor would require a nemesis - an equal and opposite foe comparable to Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes. Jon Pertwee's Doctor Who years were defined by a grounded approach, with the titular Time Lord beginning his third regeneration stranded on Earth. Here's every Master actor in live-action, and the most important details about each incarnation. More often than not, The Master regenerates off-screen, then surprises his nemesis (as well as viewers) with a brand new appearance. Just as the role of The Doctor has been passed down from one actor to the next, so too has The Master continuously changed faces. Related: Doctor Who: The Biggest Problems Season 13 Needs To Fix But The Master's morality is as tangled and contradictory as the Doctor Who timeline itself, and he has, very occasionally, worked hand-in-hand with The Doctor when their purposes align. For constantly thwarting his plans, The Master has developed a burning hatred of The Doctor, and seeks to kill his opposing number at any given opportunity. The Master spends his days flitting from one unethical scheme to the next, employing shadowy tactics, disguises worthy of Clark Kent, and wicked cunning, rather than the brute force of Daleks or Sontarans. ![]() Toy poodles in particular, thanks to their miniature size, tend to live the longest of all the poodle varieties - about 15 to 20 years.
