lf and if the barber does not shave himself, then the barber must shave himself. You might think this paradox an oddity but, using this simple idea, Bertrand Russell changed the course of mathematical history and it is the fundamental paradox used to show computers are Turing limited. The Russell Paradox In the l

ents believe making a thinking machine is just a matter of building a really large, fast neural network and working out how to train it efficiently. Quantum Brains Conventional wisdom says each brain cell is a single processing unit making an on-off decision — fire, or don't fire - depending on the state

So to pass the time my mother suggested I read Bertrand Russell's, The History of Western Philosophy. | think she figured I had plenty of time, so picked a thick book. This nearly 800-page tome charts the entire his

Quantum Computers Quantum computers have had an extraordinary run in the press recently. It has been variously claimed they offer limitless computing power and can break all k
