Steve Chen Making China's Supercomputer Grid

nanotrends writes "Steve Chen was the principal designer of the Cray X-MP supercomputer. He recently created multi-teraflop blade based supercomputers for a Chinese company. He is now creating a supercomputer grid across China and he is working on a bio-supercomputer extension to human brains called THIRD-BRAIN. The THIRD-BRAIN project has significant 3 year and 5 year targets."

Different guys.

Difficult to take 3rd brain seriously

It seems as though the team is working primarily on the number crunching power at the moment - which is all good and well. But when queried about the AI aspect, he says that they will just have to research it, even after the interviewer points out many other people have been working on this. I think he greatly underestimates the problem! Saying that all other AI researchers have not had an integral approach is a bit lacking as an answer to me.

Put yourself together. Chinese people are not eating you, not without you cooked in our way.(see Chinese Food).

Seriously a diesel submaine can do nothing to endanger a carrier fleet, if not making itself a firework. and remember, american's claws has alreay been on our door in Taiwan Strait, in East sea, in Japan, in South Korea and everywhere asian. Back few years ago, it's an american spy plane which literally hit down a Chinese fight jet just few koilmeters away from China's coast. it's you, americans always want to war with someone, not Chinese.

Talking about human life, yes, human resource is inexpensive here in contrast to other part of the planet. it's just because of the number we got,it's not about the value we hold towards the human life. honestly if any possible, i hope we can move .5 billion of our folks to your neighborhood, to make the human resource, the human right, and the population, of both countries, even. this could be an idea to ease your nerve.

How come that China is a threat to anyone in this planet?

Have the nuked anyone?

Have they attacked defenseless poor countries?

Have they messed up other countries causing civil wars?

...unlike the Chinese Communist five-year planning, which just got millions killed for nothing.

As opposed to American Democratic four year non-plans which achieve nothing of historical note and abdicate national planning to corporations motivated only by profit for the shareholders?

Personally, I'd rather die for my country working on a plan of significance even if it fails, rather than live my life in the meaningless no mans land of corporate quarterly statistics.

Capitalist Democracy fosters national inaction, for if an elected body achieves something significant it only represents a risk to re-election and corporate support. The less a democratic government achieves, the more successful it is.

It is a horrifying future for humanity, and now that the meme of capitalism has spread to the formerly communist nations of Eastern Europe and Asia it represents a genuine threat to the future survival of the human race.
