This page collect questions I am very interested in.
General
- what is actually a good question
Geopolitic/Strategy
- map of future estimates of Parts-per notation air measurements, an equivalent of climatology (thus long-term) of pollution
- to update Projetautonomieenergetique (not necessarily where the factories are but where the wind could blow, etc...)
- http://geodepollution.org/ from /tmp/lab
- militarization
- stats of #UAV used since 2000 up to now
- number of kills UAV done total and per UAV
- curves visual to see the trends
- underlying strategy (priority matrix, algorithms, ...) per UAV
- evolution of their embedded strategies
- resources
- water
- energy
- oil
- who will know when OPEC reach peak oil first?
- gas
- uranium
- oil
- computer part required (coltan, silicon, ...)
- Is there an energy limit to technological singularity consider current earth as a starting point?
- in general? (not necessarily starting from earth)
- question inspired by the argument of recursive improvement in AI/Seed AI/AGI
- see also Energy related ##AGI log (15/03/2010 at 20:28)
- cycles used in national supercomputers (i.e. usage not characteristics)
- different programs running and with size of share
- http://www.top500.org/
- Green500 a ranking of the most energy-efficient supercomputers in the world

- including treemap by applications
- history of the largest computations
- simulating atomic bombs, predicting weather, breaking cryptographic code, proteome, ...

- evolution of technologies
- SantaFe Performance Curve Database see how performance has changed over time
- see also "if someone else has an exponential going already, you can hop on it for free" by Rodney Brooks
- will the carbon market become faster and more volatile than the energy market?
Cognition
- When did a normal person (financial median) had the computational power of a historically earlier society?
- Example : iPhone processing power vs. Mayan society?
- if so, if there a pattern? Is it becoming shorter and shorter, longer and longer? What are the consequence?
what would be the benefits (and trade-offs) of embedding this wiki on dedicated hardware?- moved to ObjectsExoBrain
- is there a meta recommendation engine?
- are there "better than human neurons"?
- is a rat or a mouse neuron more efficient?
- how can we compare?
- why is one better than the other?
- can we go further and transplant? re-engineer?
- is a rat or a mouse neuron more efficient?
Cultures
- difference of topics between western journals of philosophy and asian journals

To do
- each question must have a target page to update
- i.e. where should the answer be used
- add a formalism and a notification in order to automatically do queries
- search RSS using OpenSearch
- question answering engines
- comparison page which would send to query to all the selected engines
- providing a display with the question and then the list of engines with their reply
- Wolfram|Alpha
- asked for an RSS response in case of no current answer but no reply so far (as of early June 2009)
- True Knowledge with its good idea of Firefox Add-on to "enhance" Google searches
- Powerset
- IBM - The DeepQA (based on Open Advancement of Question Answering initiative, spearheaded by IBM and CMU)
- comparison page which would send to query to all the selected engines
- Smarter Than You Think - I.B.M.'s Supercomputer to Challenge 'Jeopardy!' Champions by Clive Thompson, NYTimes.com June 2010
- Human-based Q&A Services on ReadWriteWeb (similar to Yahoo! Answers)
- or... OpenCog chatbot?
- monitoring newly opened datasets
- Google News Alert
- leverage Amazon spot instances as initially requested by Greg Linden
