I'm looking to keep this group exclusive and dedicated. Below are some of the training …

A discussion and social group for academics and non academics interested in the scientific study of consciousness. What is consciousness? We all know the immediate experience of what it is to be conscious, but from a scientific perspective what on earth it is!? Is it as Francis Cricks "Astonishing Hypothesis" suggests - a phenomena completely explainable as the result of complex neuronal interactions, or is it a quantum mechanical phenomena ? Perhaps its a self-referential computer program runni …

We'll meet to talk about the things we're doing with FPGAs--the languages we're using, the systems we're building, how we manage design flows and complexity, and other things of int …

I wanted to create a group for people who are have knowledge of low-level aspects of computing to share code, programming techniques, and explanations for why things work the way they do. The idea is for people who have really delved into a software topic at a low level to share what they have learned. If you know assembly and can help explain how to use the timer interrupts for PWM on an Arduino, then we'd love to hear you speak. If you have insight on how TCP is implemented in the kernel, …
