Our own David H introduces “Game theory” to the rest of the team, including some “Prisoner’s dilemma” challenges for the audience.

Following on from Bradley’s blog on “Rubber Duck Debugging” and a talk by David Y on “Tools for problem solving”, a discussion ensued in the office on whether you could use this particular tool for problem solving in Artificial Intelligence.

David Y attended this year’s CogX in London last week and gives a personal overview of some of the interesting topics discussed.

In part 1 of this three-parts article we explored some of the powers of non-cryptographic hashing. This time we concentrate on the mastery of Time.

On a mission to improve the lives of producers and workers in developing countries.

The new number 2: “You are number six” Number six: “I’m not a number! I am a free man!” The new number 2: “Hahahahaha” The quote above (The Prisoner 1960s TV series) highlights an extreme form of hashing, I’ll grant you that. However, that is after all, a form of hashing – turning something (or someone in this case) into a number. The new number 2 must have been a computer scientist because he is laughing his head off at number six’s accusing objection. Number 2 was clearly looking at a much bigger picture! How powerful can such simple concept possibly be? In this three-parts article I will argue that hashing functions are Computer Science’s own Infinity Stones!

At BrightMinded, we know that our clients are some of the best in their fields. But one day we thought to ourselves, does everyone else know? We’re sure that many people are aware of the great work they do, but just in case you aren’t, we’ve decided to introduce them to you in this series of spotlights called ”Our awesome clients”. We’ll tell you all about their impressive achievements, how they’re doing it, and how we managed to get involved with them.

As everyone in the team now writes blog posts, Dan M, our grammar guru, felt it was a good time to refresh some of those rules that can cause confusion in the English language.

Our philosopher in residence, Dan C, generates food for thought with his contemplation on Autopoiesis.

Someone: “Hey, check out this juicy programming problem!” Dan Cowan: “I can think of at least three ways of solving it.” Does that mean Dan’s a genius? Perhaps (if you ask him, he’ll say yes). Another possibility is that whilst learning his craft he developed the habit of thinking of alternative ways of solving the same problems. In fact, I would argue that the extent of his (coding) skills is a direct consequence of this habit.
