Small resistors 5. The revelation against surprise.

"Small Resistors 5" is an anthology on the current story published in 2010 by the editorial pages of foam under the direction of Andrew Neuman. I think both this anthology, as its complementary in many respects "Siglo XXI. The new names of the current English tale" are essential for any fan of the story.

This reading of course, there are other, thanks to the discovery of authors and styles. In the meantime, Cristina Grande wins positions in my authors "to read". And some I did not like anything, but to judge an author by a single story seems too bold, and I reserve my suspicions.

addition to the stories chosen to give a vision of a heterogeneous production around, sometimes controversial, gender of the story, the book includes a final questionnaire in which the authors anthologized respond to several questions about literature and gender. In this questionnaire, many authors emphasize something that had already been detected: the rejection from critics and the authors themselves are to the stories with surprise ending, what stories are usually called "rounds." As for me, this rejection has shades, I like to realize them. Try to do a classification:

1) Stories in which the end comes a crazy surprise that no progress at any time in the previous text. For example, any deus ex machina or "in the end it was a dream and woke up."
2) Stories in which the end there is a complete data that previous ones and have come forward with what the story ends with the plot.
3) Stories in which the end is revealed that makes something so essential that summarizes the whole story forces the reader to revive him but from a new point of view.
4) stories without any revelation, which are not circular but linear. Say photographed a tiny portion of the flow of a story suggesting the reader the rest.

seems that the current trend is to pursue the final Type 4. In this search, detect the same rogue that already existed and exists in abstract painting and painting pop: I think sometimes pretends to tell what is merely a text written more or less well (in the same way sometimes posing as art things that are not, and obviously, this is my opinion, of course.) The story should be there, no matter how minimal has been targeted, so we can talk about story. As a reader, much discriminate between what I read in this group and what I like, I love and what not, I hate it. That is, I find stark contrasts between the works that was initially ascribed to such end. As a writer, Moreover, I find very difficult to obtain.

Clearly by his rudeness, tales of group 1 are disposable and do not think you have to explain more. Those in Group 2, within which may be correct, not excite me as a reader (and I know that I write many times).

The group 3 are the ones I find most interesting and satisfying my expectations further. Here we speak not of surprise but of revelation. No shock, but the feeling of discovery. This is the kind of story that I aspire to write. I think the group 4, when quality is not merely a variant of this group 3, only the disclosure required by the reader some additional effort needs.

on this in the end, I started reading some time ago a compilation of all the tales of Cristina Peri Rossi and although at first I thought it was fantastic, I started slowly getting tired of the constant surprise (say, type 2.5 ) waiting at the end of each story. I know I will give him a second chance in this book but for now I finally get tired of so many surprises.

And yet, there is a story of Cristina Fernández Cubas, I have as a reference because I love, "The world", without appearing to, belongs to group 3. The revelation is a phrase or a few words, not screams you to flip a line but the revelation is how the story unfolds and how the actions of the characters do to understand more deeply their humanity, their contradictory nature, evolution and whys.

Satisfied my need to realize this round me head, I keep the search against the surprise disclosure but also explore the areas most avant-garde, always so interesting ...

The concept of cluster (3 of 3)

the chest of memories came to receive the documentation of my final project. I was surprised to reread the introduction to my work (a computer simulation framework applied to cache coherence in NUMA machines) and I clearly see what they say: I am of letters and a mole in the technology world. I'll post the introduction of three fragments. To put this into context, let us consider that I wrote back in 2005, I have not changed a comma and then it was probably a lot smarter now ...

The first of these solutions would be to overcome the disabilities of computing power and speed of the fastest processors possible to build (and cheaper) combining the skills of many simple processors. Thus, computing clusters has allowed the treatment volume surprising information and respond to unmet needs of power before. Would for example, computing clusters rendered images, modeling weather or stock. And as crude version of such clusters would appear the load-balancing clusters that share the work between various machines semiparalela. For example in the case of web server farms that share the responsibility to meet the requests of the customers' browsers.

other hand, the redundancy of some of the sensors and processors of human organisms inspire other types of clusters. Clusters of high availability or fault tolerant, able to cope their duties with tolerable loss of performance even after a failure in one of its elements.

But the clusters have managed to generate a new computational model comparable to that of the Turing machine? The answer is no. Finally, improvements have been made (not always) at the speed of execution of complex algorithms, but in theory there is nothing to prevent a Turing machine to perform the same task. Does this mean that this line of research is dead and useless? Here each of the parties to the dispute give their own version of events.

as technology clusters would undeniably useful and practical. On the one hand, freeing the computing capacity of the machines of progress in building processors with more capacity and higher cost. The power to solve a task with items cheaper and more scalable systems has obvious advantages in the real world application of information technology. So in this sense does not seem likely cease to exist, this type of machine or leave it for research in this line.

However, from the theoretical point of view we have seen that this type of equipment has revolutionized the science as some expected and that finally brings no new computing model. What has been the failure? The initial idea based on observation of human beings and their complex parallel processing did not seem wrong, the question is what are the computer clusters or parallel machines really only give an illusion of parallelism? If the algorithms implemented on a cluster computer can theoretically (without limitation of time and memory) to run on a Turing machine, it is clear that parallelism does not exist and is merely an illusion of parallelism equal to that already existed in the machines uniprocessor running multithreaded applications and multi-parallel giving an impression of unreality. However, the research should not be abandoned as invalid, because there is no evidence that is incorrect, the results achieved are not yet satisfactory.

This search for a new parallel computing model really has not been abandoned at all. The new concepts provided by relativity in the physical sciences and experimental studies have come to open up new scenarios for this new parallel model. Quantum computers can address a new computer model in which computing states would no longer be 0 or 1 binary and exclusive but could coexist simultaneously. In this sense (moving parallel and could not be otherwise so) the newest theories in psychological science begin to model the mental processes of the same way: with simultaneous states. That is, with real parallelism.

So, in my view the evolution of computing as a science will present identification and realization of this new computational model. On the other hand, computing and technology will continue to address, given its advantages, and for quite some time building and improving multiprocessor machines or clusters.

The concept of cluster (2 of 3)

the chest of memories came to receive the documentation of my final project. I was surprised to reread the introduction my work (a computer simulation framework applied to cache coherence in NUMA machines) and I clearly see what they say: I am of letters and a mole in the technology world. I'll post the introduction of three fragments. To put this into context, let us consider that I wrote back in 2005, I have not changed a comma and then it was probably a lot smarter now ...

Proponents of strong AI, heirs to the association psychology, based his belief in the strength of the Turing model in which complex algorithms that define the mental processes have only been out of the current practical achievements Turing machine technology disability. It would be enough for them to increase the ability to create more complex and fast processors for more complex algorithms could be resolved in human times (assuming that these algorithms are definable).

Moreover, as we have seen, another line of research would deny the Turing completeness of the model itself and explore new practical achievements of prototypes based on existing technologies. In this sense, it addresses the implementation of algorithms in parallel: the same way that the functioning of a human being is based on the binding of the mini work of millions of singles (Neurons) that deal with small amounts of information received by their systems of input / output (sensory organs), and the future model that correctly completed the current machine would be based on the parallel execution of different tasks by processors, not necessarily complex, and the final processing of all this information in a kernel, not necessarily nuclear, ie they could be distributed on several machines-that would serve as the brain in the machine.

Thus arises the concept of cluster could be defined as a set of computers that come together to contribute, in aggregate, to better performance total computer. We might refer to high-performance multiprocessor machines by a particular manufacturer or sets of computers built using common hardware components, typically personal computers. The clusters will provide from the technological point of view, from its origins, solutions to problems that were left unresolved.

The concept of cluster (1 of 3)

the chest of memories came to receive the documentation of my final project. I was surprised to reread the introduction to my work (a computer simulation framework applied to cache coherence in NUMA machines) and I clearly see what they say: I'm from Lyrics and infiltrated into the technological world. I'll post the introduction of three fragments. To put this into context, let us consider that I wrote back in 2005, I have not changed a comma and then it was probably a lot smarter now ...

Since the beginning of computing as a science until the present, through its emergence as a technology after the Second World War, their movement has followed two parallel paths often closely related: first computer science appears as an effort to model the unknown human mind and its processes using the tools offered him mathematics, is well placed the service of research in the field of psychology and illustrates its modeling existing controversies in this field. On the other hand, is converted to happen in practical technology in a way that allows information processing tasks above (in speed and volume) that you can make a human.

We are heirs of the original concept of the Turing machine defined, but this machine seems in some areas of science as inadequate and clumsy. Thus, cognitive psychologists found that modeling of the human mind that can afford a Turing machine is partial and crude and leaves unexplained many of the mental processes more complex and beautiful human beings. And furthermore, for artificial intelligence appear as obstacles frustrating limitations of this model to run complex algorithms that allow machines to increase their capacities to human levels.

Presumably, this double path of development followed by information technology remains the model of evolution of this discipline. Thus, as more advance knowledge about our own mental processes even more advance technology, allowing us to create artificial minds increasingly similar to those of humans. If the Turing machine appears to be insufficient, you should see new models.

The mad house at dusk


"Imagination is the mad house" Santa Teresa de Jesus


"The Crazy House" by Rosa Montero is a book of dubious generic assignment somewhere between essays, novels and biography fabled, in which the author provides an informal speech about the imagination, literature and the boundaries between reality and fiction.

This is a book of vague boundary that is easier to say what it is: not a formal treaty or poetic, is not an essay on the craft of writing, there is a novel and is not, or is in any degree, a biography. In the hands of the imagination, the mad house, the author portrays the limits of creation and the folly of human nature and its insertion into the reality and fears and frustrations of the literary creator, namely the novelist.

a quality book is unbalanced, in which moments of brilliance alternated with heavy digressions that add nothing to what is already known. Sorry for not able to fully participate in the game that offers the reader and have stayed on the path of the labyrinth admiring some detail and losing the final goal, if there was. I'll take the hit with it would build a lighter book parallel.

not know the rest of the work of Rosa Montero so my opinion is confined exclusively to this work given in isolation. I think it may be of interest to people attracted by literature, fans and theorizing write lightly.

parallel in my book would not miss what I consider the most brilliant passage in the book and thus justifying their reading. Begins:

"" Today I wanted to write, I had all day to write, and I have thrown overboard answering e-mails.
- Why?
I do not know. Sometimes you avoid get to work. It a strange thing.
- Why laziness?
"No, no
- Why?
-Fearing.

I knew not explain, but last night at the extreme helplessness of the night, in the hallucinatory clarity of the night, while I was tossing and turning, I knew exactly what he meant. For fear of what you leave without writing once you get past action. "

How To Make A Paper Saxophone




We all have prejudices, who is without sin that you do look. And after reading this book I to admit that my image of Dickens has changed completely.

This volume was published recently collected a series of stories that keep the common factor encountered in ghosts the excuse of the plot. The prose of Dickens, the environment and atmosphere, we move immediately to the nineteenth century and the exquisite art of writing as a craft. I have really enjoyed the beginning where I think a teacher, able to place the reader with few resources, can create an atmosphere as appealing as the children that kept us glued to a book. Needless to say, it is essential reading.

And I start talking about huge bias because my ignorance, I was trapped in the image of an innocent Dickens. He was by an author with little risk and with little to offer, but it is undeniably his charm, for something was one of the best-sellers of his time-and his ironic vision of reality, their sensitive insights to dispense the pace, the scenes, small digressions.

confront you I love Poe, and its antithesis in many ways and much more when this volume speaks of ghosts and terror on his contemporary as well elaborated. Dickens, however, approaches it from light, from the humor, insight from a man of success that the fates smiled on life. Both are great writers, but I can not help bend gently toward the American and his devastating personal reality. say they met and I think that this event is so literary as their works. I imagine the situation perfectly: Dickens man success, which travels to the U.S. to discuss with copyright piracy of their books by U.S. publishers. In short, the writer at the top. And it's easy for me to imagine Poe, as a prisoner of alcoholism and the rawness of a personal failure that must have seemed unfair to force. A face to face with them, so suggestive and that the end is so fruitless, because they were, but there was no meeting.

And finally, even one extra-literary matter, I can not get carried away by my snobbish side and admire the publication itself: the role and format make it a special book. And yes, I am of those people that when they open a book the first thing you do is tilt the nose on the pages and inhale the smell of printing. Silly as any other, right?

French Country Curtain Ideas

To read Abandonment

I can accept that just directed me to speak. I also put the food in front without even looking at me, provided by pride, rather than calling, a responsibility for me. I can even accept that I no longer smooth as before and assume the role of a beggar of love that drives me to hover around forgetting my dignity. She, the center of everything, my goddess, the master of my universe, just remember that once we were two in paradise. I can with this, even though sometimes I fall apart and I spend hours dozing consuming sadness, leaving away by the profound boredom of being alone. However, by hard I try, I am unable to adapt to my new custom sphincters me out for a walk once a day.

30th Birthday Invitation Wording Funny

Uncertain Future "?

few days ago someone told me a story that has given me much food for thought. This person works in an industrial chain in an SME, is responsible to adjust certain parameters of the production to the needs of the moment. So far so good, except that it does manipulating levers.

This person has no special training as an engineer or similar, has just learned his trade and has done well. Is able to recalculate the necessary adjustments quickly and until now was recognized and appreciated his work. The problem is that for a time the chain control is done via computer, fitted by a foreign company and adaptations are made from the remote modem. No matter how fast they make their calculations and the handling of machinery, this person is unable to compete with the automatic processes now performed on demand changes.

the other hand, this person is impossible to acquire training in this new way of working. The company, which is a manufacturer, because training does not only interested in establishing marketing channels. And on the other hand, no similar businesses in Andalusia and probably not in Spain where he could relocate the workforce.

Well, a job that becomes obsolete, shall walk thinking. Things progress, right? But this has led me to a disturbing question about the future of computing: how should orientate the local business community to maximize our competitiveness in the future?

It is not hard to imagine that the foreign company takes all via modem and leave us without work is an Oracle or SAP or IBM ... We are returning to high-performance computer with proprietary software and support full stack or the subscription of a service on a remote system maintained by others, which is summarized at the end always in a "you do not touch that and we take us. "
Items
law of the pendulum and that these have been able to handle the language of senior management and others less so. What will happen to those who do not work in these companies? Will there be room for us? "swing the pendulum the other way they do it all?

For now, I reaffirm my belief that we must foster competition so that only survives balancing progresses and both moderately, if not think so, ask yourself why is IIS virtual servers, born android why, why Microsoft has released Windows 7 ... The problem is that you create monopolies, that competition is eliminated, Why what happens in the company of the person who said at the beginning when the control of the production is dark magic and those who have decided to charge double for it? And if the service is good, will there alternatives?

And another point which is reaffirmed in me to be away from being pressed-button or pull-lines-of-code and it is essential that we understand really what we're doing, how we have under your fingers. Only thus can we ensure the capability of becoming, to adapt to the unstoppable progress. Only thus will we earn the right to participate in the next technological revolution.

Pitcures Of Kimberly Bregalis

Porta Coeli. The Order of St. Ceclina

Let
outlining.

"Porta Coeli" Susana Vallejo was another gift from my wise kings. I was afraid to disappoint me as much as he did in his time, "Memoirs of Idhún" (not I link this review because I do not recognize myself in it ...) but fortunately we're talking different leagues.

"Porta Coeli" is a tetralogy whose first installment is "Santa Ceclina order." It tells the fantastic story of the Order of St. Ceclina, whose monastery treasures a book banned, the Porta Coeli , which will allow players to find explanation for the occurrences of fantastic creatures have begun to rise ...

Among his successes, there is a sustained pace cleverly, correct prose, clear, simple, upon which walks the reader goes back and carried away by the hand of history. At no time decays interest through which information is dispensed wisely and scenes unfold quickly. The plot is impeccable, the end is extracted from it without trickery or deception and surprise the reader without being frightened. A round and very funny book.

Another added value is that the story takes place on English soil, the context is pleasantly familiar. A risk taken forcefully by the author, to distance the reader of his prejudices, carried out with skill and without complexes. One move more to this book.

Without being a general blunder, its main weakness is in the construction of the characters. The omniscient narrator who gives the right tone to this tale of adventure and travel, sometimes becomes too introspective and reveals feelings and thoughts on a few characters unconvincing. For example and most importantly, Bernardo, one of the protagonists, is not credible on their emotions and just move from petulant to cheesy without intermediate stages. The Yebra relationship with another character, goes on a credible, extremely naive and stereotypical. At times when describing the interactions between these two characters, you remember reading a children's book, which is not necessarily the case in the rest of the book.

The strengths outweigh the weaknesses in any case, being a story more than worthy and above all fun. Recommended reading for older children and young people with imagination. Someday I will make the next three deliveries to moving forward as many good times.

Can My Dog Get Impetigo From Me

For Clemente Colling times

One of my New Year's resolutions is to recover the reviews of this blog. This is not an easy goal but I want to do this little effort. I also want to "get my fingers burnt" in the long review more than what I've done so far. The reason is simple: the more you learn about writing is to read carefully. So the mess ...

"By the time of Clemente Colling" in Felisberto Hernández was a successful Christmas present I arrived a little early so you could take holidays in their reading. I know no Felisberto works for now, but this will change from here a few weeks because their Majesties have graciously give me more reading material. Of time and input, it is considered by some the best work of Felisberto, is an exquisite story. The purpose of speech is a complex comeback by the ravings of memory, remembrance hiperesthetic a childhood, the reconstruction of memories that light now with the maturity of the protagonist.

seems to be autobiographical memories dotted side, the narrator protagonist, Felisberto, says his relationship with the music, the thread of this in your memories and above all, build and destroy in an infinite loop the character to be his teacher piano, Clemente Colling.

Almost immediately, the tenderness, the delicacy, the battle against oblivion, the work is inevitably reminiscent of Proust. It seems that French was among the favorite reading of the author and his influence is evident. The speech, however, is more avant-garde forms that of Proust, but without reaching the tattered monologue of Joyce, it goes into the vagaries of our most intimate thoughts and ventures into the collage of memories associated with each other without apparent logic. In addition, there are passages, like the description of the long-lived, his stuffed parrot, etc. that are hospitalized, even superficially, in magic realism which collect witness Gabriel García Márquez and others. He said he did admire and Cortázar, although the latter's influence seems to move more in terms of form: in the construction of a seemingly careless language in which not a single word can removed without dropping the house of cards.

is also interesting to know the biography of Felisberto Hernández , unknowingly married a KGB spy who attained more fame and honor that her innocent husband. A fictionalized life worth.

A convenient and useful reading, away from my interest in the background but not in form. Recommended for lovers of the delicacy and finesse.
