• Postdoctoral position in Astrophysical Relativity at the AEI, Potsdam, Germany

    Updated: 2012-12-28 15:26:28
    The Astrophysical Relativity division at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational physics (Albert Einstein Institute) in Potsdam, Germany, anticipates the filling of one postdoctoral position within the “numerical-relativity” group. The numerical-relativity group is primarily but not exclusively concerned with the numerical solution of the Einstein equations and with the modelling of compact objects, such as [...]

  • WorkingWiki + sage + adaptive dynamics demo

    Updated: 2012-12-23 07:30:06
    Publish Date: Sat, 12/22/2012 - 23:21I didn't mean it as a demo - I did it to get some work done. But now I have a wiki page that demonstrates using Sage to do symbolic mathematics in a WorkingWiki page. It also demonstrates how awesome Sage is -...

  • Information Security Risk: A Conversation with CSO

    Updated: 2012-12-17 15:33:02
    Earlier this month, I spoke with Derek Slater: In early 2008, Adam Shostack and Andrew Stewart released the book The New School of Information Security. And they launched a blog in support of the book and its message. I wondered (…)Read the rest of this entry »

  • Calculating a Universal Distribution to Approximate Kolmogorov-Chaitin Complexity

    Updated: 2012-12-12 00:47:20
    Computing the incomputable has always been a challenge. For example, in finding the busiest Turing machines (Rado) given a number of symbols and states (whimsically called busy beavers). This means either finding Turing machines that, starting from an empty input, produce more non-blank symbols in their output tapes before halting than any other Turing machine [...]

    Updated: 2012-12-11 19:12:09
    The Quantum Information Processing Group at Raytheon BBN Technologies (Cambridge, MA) is looking for well qualified and highly motivated researchers to join our eclectic team working on experimental and theoretical aspects of quantum information processing (for a list of recent … Continue reading →

  • Ada’s Birthday

    Updated: 2012-12-10 16:10:22
    Ada Byron, later Countess of Lovelace, was born 197 years ago, 10 December 1815, so it’s safe to say that many bicentennial preparations are already getting under way. What an unusual sort of celebrity she has become, after nearly two … Continue reading →

  • Usable Security: Timing of Information?

    Updated: 2012-12-10 15:47:54
    As I’ve read Kahneman’s “Thinking, Fast and Slow,” I’ve been thinking a lot about “what you see is all there is” and the difference between someone’s state of mind when they’re trying to decide on an action, and once they’ve (…)Read the rest of this entry »
