- Today's Arlo 'n Janis is on the familiar theme of husbands not listening to their wives.I get particularly deaf during the holidays and this week even my daughter said to my wife, "Dad doesn't listen."I'm generally okay when the subject and tone are serious. But when it involves instructions or miscellaneous descriptions or upcoming appointments or most any kind of social chatter and the setting is mundane -- house or car -- then I'm bad, amazing even myself. My wife's pretty tolerant, unless I'm running a deficit in our emotional bank account. |

- Act like you've been there, Tyrone. Oops, nevermind.It wasn't pretty, whether you're talking about Tyrone Poole celebrating a TD at the 10 yard line and getting tackled short of the goalline, or the weather that made things messy and uncomfortable at Foxboro. Regardless, the Patriots (12-2) rolled to their tenth straight victory, a 27-13 win over the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars at Gillette Stadium.Knowing the weather would become a factor in the second half, the offense opened it up in the fist half, and the Patriots scored a touchdown on their opening possession for the first time all season, as Tom Brady found a wide open Daniel Graham (look Ma, hands! |

- A ceux qui auraient pu croire que la technologie des réseaux bayesiens permettrait d'un coup de baguette magique, d'introduire de l'intelligence artificielle à moindre frais dans les systèmes informatiques, John Locke, "ingénieur de la connaissance" de son état, prouve le contraire. En effet, il explique en détails comment concevoir un assistant de dépannage ("troubleshooter") à l'aide de la technologie des réseaux bayesien. Et son explication montre qu'il s'agit d'une tâche de conception non triviale. Au passage, on apprend que les réseaux bayesiens sont particulièrement efficaces lorsqu'il s'agit de diagnostiquer un problème complexe ayant un grand nombre de causes possibles à partir d'un seul vague symptôme. L'assistant de dépannage ainsi conçu collecte des indices et symptômes et s'appuie sur un graphe de ... |

- A conversation this weekend got me to thinking about this old Wired article from March 2000, "It's Good to Be King." The piece is about obsessives who create "countries" by declaring their bedrooms or homes to be sovereign states, and then start issuing passports, attracting adherents, and generally ruling. Just re-read it, and it's as striking as it was when I first found it three years ago:... ... ... |

Santa Scam (Dec 15 2003 01:52 GMT) - Santa ScamSo as usual, my 8-year-old son has me on my toes. I talked to his dad today and found out that my son told him he still believes in Santa, but meanwhile, he flat out told me that there is no such thing as Santa. I hated to let the fiction die, to be sure, but my kid was fairly vehement about it 2 weeks ago over a serious cup of hot chocolate. So today I learn, Jackson seems to be keeping the news that there is no real guy named Santa from his dad for some reason. Doesn't want to disillusion the old man I guess. |
