2022-10-241h 01The DailyThe Sunday Read: ‘The Search for Intelligent Life Is About to Get a Lot More Interesting’The search for intelligence beyond Earth has long entranced humans. According to Jon Gertner, a regular contributor to The New York Times Magazine, this search has been defined “by an assumption that extraterrestrials would have developed radio technologies akin to what humans have created.”However, Mr. Gertner writes, “rather than looking for direct calls to Earth, telescopes now sweep the sky, searching billions of frequencies simultaneously, for electronic signals whose origins can’t be explained by celestial phenomena.”What scientists are most excited about is the prospect of other planets’ civilizations being able to create the same “te...

Muchos de los lenguajes de los que hemos hablado esta temporada están relacionados o al menos tuvieron alguna influencia de C. Lo increíble es que C y UNIX surgieron gracias a cuatro desarrolladores de Bell Labs que se aferraron a sus sueños y los crearon como un proyecto propio. Bell Labs fue un centro de innovación de mediados del siglo XX. Jon Gertner lo describe como una "fábrica de ideas". Uno de sus proyectos más importantes en la década de 1960 fue ayudar a...

We're talking about hoverboards, a space elevator and floating Wi-Fi hot spots for the developing world.
The company talks a big game about chasing these "moonshot" ideas that could improve billions of lives. It's fanciful, it's ambitious, and it's a whole lot like AT&T's Bell Labs of a half-century ago.

KGNU - How On EarthThe Idea Factory – Bell Labs and the Great Age of American InnovationBell Labs thrived from the 1920s to the 1980s, when it was most innovative and productive institution of the twentieth century. Long before America’s brightest scientific minds began migrating west to Silicon Valley, they flocked to the Bell Labs campus in the New Jersey suburbs. At its peak, Bell Labs employed nearly fifteen thousand people, twelve hundred had PhDs. Thirteen eventually won Nobel prizes. How did they do it? How can we learn from their successes, so we can do it here in Colorado? New Your Times journalist Jon Gertner has written a book that provides some answers. He ca...
