In honor of National AIDS Awareness month, we've added a new charitable vgift.

You can read more about IAVI at lj_cares. While we're on the subject, we raised $740 from our November fundraiser for Love Without Boundaries, which supports emergency healthcare and adoption of Chinese orphans. We thank you for helping us help others.

MogileFS Maintenance
**EDIT Thu Dec 3 23:24:15 UTC 2009 **
Hey Everyone, we are about to run the last alter job that we need to on our database servers. This will effect userpics / scrapbook / vgift images for the next few hours. Have no fear, your images aren't lost, there is just a really intensive process running on the servers which store the information for mogilefs. Thank you for your understanding and all the LJ love...
Hey LJers,
I just wanted to let you all know that we are going to be performing some mogilefs maintenance over the next few days. We will be upgrading our current version to latest stable as well as changing some db config information to better handle the amount of files we are currently hosting. This shouldn't cause a big impact on site stability, but you may see some minor delays with userpic / scrapbook images appearing or other requests associated with our mogilefs. We would love to not have that happen, but unfortunately with some of the steps we need to take we have to cause a delay with images. I figured this was a better solution than taking down all of LiveJournal because well lets face it, we all need our daily LJ fix ;)
Thanks,

Books for sale!
I just graduated in June and finally found a job! Unfortunately, this means saying goodbye to Oly. Could you help me unload some books I have AND support an AMAZING non-profit supporting youth of color? 40+ Titles! $1-$5 OBO. All money will go to Brother's & Sister's Keepers a non-profit in Portland, OR. To find out more about this amazing organization visit: brothersandsisterskeepers.com. I'm more than happy to drop off if it's within reasonable distance.
I listed the titles out by name and author on craiglist. That can be found here: http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/bks/1484902007.html
I appreciate it!!!

Now accepting applications
"A multi-agent system can also be seen as a loosely coupled network of problem solvers that work together on problems that may be beyond the scope of any of the agents individually (Durfee and Lesser 1989).
The problem solvers of a multi-agent system, besides being autonomous, may also be of heterogeneous design. Based on analysis by Jennings, Sycara, and Wooldridge (]998), there are four important characteristics of multi-agent problem solving. First, each agent has incomplete information and insufficient capabilities for solving the entire problem, and thus can suffer from a limited viewpoint. Second, there is no global system controller for the entire problem solving. Third, the knowledge and input data for the problem is also decentralized, and fourth, the reasoning processes are often asynchronous."
-Artificial Intelligence, George F Luger
If we consider a human to qualify as one of the autonomous problem-solving agents, then this is what I desire to create. The heterogeneity is a key component that I feel that many people with perhaps somewhat related intentions forget.
What makes me a little sad is that I have all these desires and ambitions, things that I want to *happen*, and although I occasionally get it in my head that maybe I actually *will* try very hard, and that maybe things actually *will* be different this time, I pretty much know that I'm not going to have much if anything to do with creating the sorts of technologies and advances and ideas and changes that I want. I'm not going to make any significant contributions to AI or brain emulation or longevity or DNA programming, or to any sort of autonomous non-decidophobic movement, and probably not even really any minor ones. Yes, I know that having that sort of attitude is certainly going to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy, but there's also merit in being realistic once in a while. That isn't the problem so much as this sort of dreadful, impossible to extirpate Manicheanism that drives me to assume that since I can't or won't be doing anything huge, then I won't be doing anything at all and that I'm useless and everything I do is shit that doesn't matter. Without getting into the impossible morass of something mattering, I can at least find something relatively satisfying to spend my time doing. And that is to build a multi-agent parallel processor out of humans.
