Through a fascinating look back over his life in technology, Jaron Lanier, an interdisciplinary scientist and father of the term “virtual reality,” exposes VR’s ability to illuminate and amplify our understanding of our species, and gives readers a new perspective on how the brain and body connect to the world. An inventive blend of autobiography, science writing, philosophy and advice, this book tells the wild story of his personal and professional life as a scientist, from his childhood in the UFO territory of New Mexico, to the loss of his mother, the founding of the first start-up, and finally becoming a world-renowned technological guru. Understanding virtual reality as being both a scientific and cultural adventure, Lanier demonstrates it to be a humanistic setting for technology. While his previous books offered a more critical view of social media and other manifestations of technology, in this book he argues that virtual reality can actually make our lives richer and fuller.

What have these two fields in common? Have they affected the way we define humanity? These and other timely questions are addressed with colorful individuality by the authors of The Boundaries of Humanity. Leading researchers in both sociobiology and artificial intelligence combine their reflections with those of philosophers, historians, and social scientists, while the editors explore the historical and contemporary contexts of the debate in their introductions. The implications of their individual arguments, and the often heated controversies generated by biological determinism or by mechanical models of mind, go to the heart of contemporary scientific, philosophical, and humanistic studies.

This edited volume aims at continue stressing the benefits of applying rough sets in many real-life situations while still keeping an eye on topological aspects of the theory as well as strengthening its linkage with other soft computing paradigms. The volume comprises 11 chapters and is organized into three parts. Part 1 deals with theoretical contributions while Parts 2 and 3 focus on several real world data mining applications. Chapters authored by pioneers were selected on the basis of fundamental ideas/concepts rather than the thoroughness of techniques deployed. Academics, scientists as well as engineers working in the rough set, computational intelligence, soft computing and data mining research area will find the comprehensive coverage of this book invaluable.

Do you think you have to lock yourself in a basement reading cryptic man pages for months on end in order to have ninja like command line skills? In reality, if you had someone share their most powerful command line tips, tricks, and patterns you'd save yourself a lot of time and frustration. What if you could look over the shoulder of a good friend that just happened to be a command line guru? What if they not only showed you the commands they were using, but why they were using them and exactly how they worked? And what if that friend took the time to write all of it down so you can refer to it whenever you liked? Well, a friend did just that. Command Line Kung Fu is packed with dozens of tips and over 100 practical real-world examples. You won't find theoretical examples in this book. The examples demonstrate how to solve actual problems and accomplish worthwhile goals. The tactics are easy to find, too. Each chapter covers a specific topic and groups related tips and examples together. For example, if you need help extracting text from a file look in the "Text Processing and Manipulation" chapter. Also, a comprehensive index is included. If you want to find every example where a given command is used -- even if it's not the main subject of the tip -- look in the index. It will list every single place in the book where that command appears. More Information

📌 Project Name: react-native 🔗 URL: https://github.com/facebook/react-native 📝 Description: A framework for building native applications using React ⭐ Stars: 120487 🛠 Language: C++ 🤖 AI Summary: React Native is an open-source project that provides a framework for building native mobile applications using JavaScript and React.js, a popular user interface library developed by Facebook. The core objective of the project is to enable developers to construct applications for Android and iOS platforms using a single codebase. This results in a significant reduction of development time and resources. What makes React Native most meaningful is its ability to offer a truly native user experience as opposed to hybrid or web-based solutions. It effectively translates your markup to real, native user interface elements and enables you to embed native code when necessary. It also supports hot-reloading which allows live updates without the need for recompiling. React Native is a significant project in mobile application development due to its efficiency, reusability, and the strong community support it receives.

📌 Project Name: 996.ICU 🔗 URL: https://github.com/996icu/996.ICU 📝 Description: Repo for counting stars and contributing. Press F to pay respect to glorious developers. ⭐ Stars: 270219 🛠 Language: Unknown 🤖 AI Summary: Project 996.ICU is a social initiative originating from GitHub. "996" represents the exploitative Chinese work schedule (9AM-9PM, 6 days a week) common in tech companies. The suffix "ICU" implies that such a schedule could land an individual in an Intensive Care Unit. This project is a protest against such unhealthy work schedules. The main purpose of the 996.ICU project is to underline the need for proper labour conditions, promote the "Anti-996" License, and shed light on companies requiring employees to work under the "996" system. The project collects a list of companies maintaining such exploitative work culture as reported by employees. The significance of the project lies in sparking debates about fair labour treatment globally. It encourages open source communities to reject software from these "996" companies, resulting in organizations adopting healthier work schedules. Despite its origin in China, the initiative's message applies to developers and tech employees universally, emphasising a work-life balance. The project's "star count" reflects public support for the initiative and garners attention toward these issues. And contributing helps maintain the validity of the repo's contents and broaden the project's impact.
