essay is based on a reading from the December 1999 exam: an essay: “Getting Close to the Machine” by Ellen Ullman. Why do we have computers? Computers are invented in order to facilitate the satisfaction of our needs. We want to satisfy our needs daily and computers are composed of our thoughts and of how we would realize the action performed by the computer. In Ellen Ullman’s “Getting Close to the Machine”‚ the effects and compositions of a programmed computer is clearly illustrated through many

A Protective Machine Gorilla The short film NO-A is a futuristic film about a gorilla-like machine trying to protect its creator from harm. NO-A was directed by a team of 8 students from Savannah College of Art and Design as a graduation project. The film won the 2015 Red Dot Award. The film begins with NO-A entering what looks to be a control room in a huge space looking building. The machine walks on all fours and rocks back and forth as if he is a primate. His creator must have built him in

Objective The objective of this experiment is to study Newton’s Second law of motion utilizing the Atwood Machine and to show that the acceleration is proportional to the force causing the motion. Theory Newton’s second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object and inversely proportional to the total mass. a = net force/ total mass If an object is acted on by a net force ‚ it will experience an acceleration that

about the role of machines in life. Certain authors‚ such as Bellamy‚ would argue advancements and use of machinery is necessary to push society to a better‚ brighter future. However‚ reading Forster’s The Machine Stops makes one question the influence of machinery in our lives. Technology‚ like most things in life‚ can be considered both enslaving and liberating. In the 21st century it has allowed individuals to see and speak with loved ones half a world away. At the same time‚ there is a dependence

Support Vector Machine Luyang Liu 152003815 I. Introduction Support vector machines (SVMs) are a basic machine learning method for supervised learning models with associated learning algorithms that analyze data and recognize patterns‚ used for classification and regression analysis. Introduced by Vladimir Vapnik and his colleagues‚ SVMs are a relatively new learning method used for binary classification. The basic idea is to find a hyperplane which separates the d-dimensional data perfectly into

POT TENDING MACHINE PTM is the crucial equipment of large anode pre-baking workshop. It is used in the environment of high temperature‚ large current‚ strong magnetic field and HF gas. It can perform the following procedures ANODE CHANGE: Anode in the pots is changed at an interval of every 27 days since daily 1.5 cm of the anode gets consumed. A carbon block is usually 55 cm high of which only 40 cm can be used up. The main reason behind the anode consumption is the following electrolytic

Can a machine be a person? The topic of this debate is whether machines with artificial intelligence that is able to replicate human behavior can be considered human or not. This house believes that computers are fully capable of being humans because regardless of whether it is made of the ‘wrong stuff’ if it is able to adapt to human attributes or behavior then there should be no reason to classify them as otherwise. This argument is considered from a materialist view; which states that we
