![]() ![]() If you enjoy the work you're doing, but still find yourself put off by the thought of starting, I'd definitely recommend examining your start-up processes to see if they are candidates for optimization. ![]() This stuff may seem obvious, but for me, I've found that if I don't consciously make my workflow ultra-convenient, work isn't nearly as likely to get done. Walk up, flip two switches, press record (I'll talk about this in a bit), and I'm off to the races. To keep the start-up time minimal, I set all the lighting and tools on two power strips, and my camera stays powered up, configured, and ready to film at a moment's notice. The rationale here is the same one behind setting up bills to automatically draft instead of having to mail a check: fewer monotonous barriers to meaningful progress means less fuel for our procrastination engines. Since I knew I would be working on Jittery MacGyver with tiny amounts of time left over after working a fulltime job, occasionally traveling for speaking engagements, being a "present" husband, and being a dad/co-pilot/gelatinous monster/climbing tree for my two year-old daughter, I wanted to make sure the amount of time I'd have to spend between sitting down at my workbench and being able to get stuff done was as minimal as possible. Ten minutes later I was staring at a blank spot on my office wall and thinking about how many lives would be ruined if we ever find a way to reliably interpret and display what cats are thinking in real-time.ĭespite that immensely successful planning session, I did manage to come away with three pillars for my overall workspace philosophy: Before I started configuring my workspace for Jittery MacGyver-a project which entails dismantling Keurig coffee makers and repurposing the parts to build other stuff-I spent some time pondering the unique processes and challenges I would likely encounter along the way, and how to best tailor my workspace to perform commensurately. However, much like the ratios on a vehicle's gearbox, a workspace should always be tuned to most effectively deliver the desired output. With basic furniture and lighting squared away, my workspace is starting to come together, but it's still pretty boring and unremarkable. That, in combination with a few garden-variety desk lamps, provided an acceptable amount of distributed light across my work area. I fastened a few of the pucks to a 1"x3" poplar board, and used zip ties to secure the resulting fixture to the horizontal crossbar of a variable-height photographic backdrop system. ![]() ![]() To illuminate my workspace, I ran every object in my house through a unified filter: "Does $THING light up? If so, would anyone immediately notice if $THING went missing?" One of the items in the resulting set was a string of puck-shaped lights that was designed for furniture manufacturers to install inside various casegoods, or to serve as undercabinet lighting. I believe a whole box of these things was abandoned after one of our local, semi-annual High Point Furniture Markets. Since I'd pay $45 to watch a monkey smoke, I can unceremoniously strike worrying about damaging my bench off my list of concerns, which frees me up to experiment and discover new ways to get stuff done. In my humble opinion, time spent stressing about whether or not to drill that hole to make way for a bolt or to screw down a jig, or to otherwise cause irreparable damage to your workbench, is time completely wasted. I paid a princely sum of $45 for the pair, which, by the way, are absolutely rock solid. My wife found the workbench and shelves on a Facebook community swap group, which we later discovered were comprised of cast-offs and scraps from a bored carpenter's day job. Your workspace will look different, but the practices I chose to follow here can be used for anyone looking to match their setup to their brain.Īt its core, my workspace reflects the cobbled-together and quasi-functional approach I take to problem-solving in general. With this assertion firmly in place, I'd like to share a few things I've implemented for creating my workspace that have worked well for my brain. At this point, the odds are good that I'm just trying to rationalize why my office is an unmitigated disaster most of the time, but since you've made it this far, let's make one more assumption: No two people are exactly alike, therefore no two workspaces are exactly alike. If this holds true, it stands to reason that, more often than not, our workspaces are always naturally trending away from being tidy and highly-functional. Like bits of knowledge stored in the brain, tools and assets instinctively find themselves organized in a way that feels right to the individual. I firmly believe that in the absence of any intentional organizational strategy a person's workspace becomes a reflection of their mind. ![]() ![]() ( Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy, 1995) Such culpable mental states are of three kinds: they are either motivational states of purpose, cognitive states of belief, or the nonmental state of negligence. To have performed a legally prohibited action, such as killing another human being one must have done so with a culpable state of mind, or mens rea. Anglo American jurisprudence speaks of mens rea - literally, the guilty mind: This was a robot, a machine that might have a mind, might have evil intentions, might be capable, not just of homicide, but of murder. The difference, of course, was that - in the public imagination at least - this was no ordinary machine. Why, indeed, was this industrial accident in Japan reported in a Philadelphia newspaper? Every day somewhere in the world a human worker is killed by one machine or another. The repairman had failed to follow instructions for shutting down the arm before he entered the workspace. At the Kawasaki Heavy Industries plant in Akashi, a malfunctioning robotic arm pushed a repairman against a gearwheel-milling machine, which crushed him to death. I have a yellowed clipping dated December 9, 1981, from the Philadelphia Inquirer - not the National Enquirer - with the headline “Robot killed repair man, Japan reports.” ![]() The first robot homicide was committed in 1981, according to my files. My view is that for quite some time the mens rea most relevant will be of some power-hungry human villain using AI, rather than of some conscious, autonomous, and evil AI system itself … but who knows?Įveryone who thinks about ethics, is concerned about the future dangers of AI, and wants to support efforts to keep us all safe should read on… He focuses on the central concept of mens rea, or “guilty mind,” asking how we would ever know when a computer would be so self-aware as to satisfy the legal criterion to make him (it) guilty of murder. His chapter, published nearly 25 years ago in “ HAL’s Legacy,” a collection of writings that explore HAL’s tremendous influence on the research and design of intelligent machines, remains an indispensable introduction to the thorny problems of “murdering” by computers and the “murder” of computers. ![]() Stork is the editor of “ HAL’s Legacy,” from which Daniel Dennett’s essay is culled.Īt the philosophical center of these developments are the notions of responsibility and culpability, or as philosopher Daniel Dennett asks, “Did HAL commit murder?” There are few philosophers as knowledgeable and insightful about these fascinating problems, and who write as clearly and directly. The most pressing dangers of AI will be due to its deliberate misuse for purely personal or “human” ends.ĭavid G. Then too are the “sci fi” dangers of AI run amok. The naive bromides of an invisible economic hand shepherding “retrained workers” into alternative and new classes of jobs and such are dangerously overoptimistic. Indeed, future developments in AI pose profound challenges, first and foremost to our economy, by automating away millions of jobs in manufacturing, food service, retail sales, legal services, and even medical diagnosis. Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, Sam Harris, and many other leading AI researchers have sounded the alarm: Unchecked, they say, AI may progress beyond our control and pose significant dangers to society.Īnd what about the converse: humans “killing” future computers by disconnection? When astronauts Frank and Dave retreat to a pod to discuss HAL’s apparent malfunctions and whether they should disconnect him, Dave imagines HAL’s views and says: “Well I don’t know what he’d think about it.” Will it be ethical - not merely disturbing - to disconnect (“kill”) a conversational elder-care robot from the bedside of a lonely senior citizen? AI-powered bots, meanwhile, are infecting networks and influencing national elections. ![]() ![]() In the past few years experimental autonomous cars have led to the death of pedestrians and passengers alike. But three iconic scenes - HAL’s silent murder of astronaut Frank Poole in the vacuum of outer space, HAL’s silent medical murder of the three hibernating crewmen, and the poignant sorrowful “death” of HAL - prompted deeper reflection, this time about the ethical conundrums of murder by a machine and of a machine. Clarke, and their team of expert filmmakers.Īs with each viewing, I discovered or appreciated new details. The fact that this masterpiece remains on nearly every relevant list of “top ten films” and is shown and discussed over a half-century after its 1968 release is a testament to the cultural achievement of its director Stanley Kubrick, writer Arthur C.

Some vehicles use two serpentine belts for their system, such as the manual transaxle equipped Ford Taurus SHO, 1995–1999 DOHC Nissan Maxima, vehicles using the supercharged GM 3800 engine, and many BMWs. This is typically limited to components requiring less torque or where a large angle of wrap is present. On some engine designs, the "back" (smooth side) of the belt may drive some accessories. To accommodate this bidirectional flexing while remaining strong enough to transfer the total force required by multiple loads, a serpentine belt is almost always of multi-groove (multi-vee, poly-v, or multi-rib) construction. ![]() To allow the belt to pass over more than three pulleys with a large enough wrap angle to avoid slipping, idler pulleys which press against the back of the belt are included, forcing the belt into a serpentine shape. The belt may also be guided by an idler pulley and/or a belt tensioner (which may be spring-loaded, hydraulic, or manual).
