Star Trek at 50 - Warp Drive

Warp drive is a faster-than-light (FTL) spacecraft propulsion system in many science fiction works. A spacecraft equipped with a warp drive may travel at fantasy speeds greater than that of light by many orders of magnitude.

Fantasy speeds? Hey, just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it can't. Some smart person will figure out how hyper-fast travel within General Relativity can occur. Maybe. Or, maybe not.

This week, a look at warp drive.

TTFN, Fred.

Star Trek at 50 - Natural Language Queries

A natural language query consists only of normal terms in the user’s language, without any special syntax or format. This type of computer human interface is where linguistic phenomena such as verbs, phrases and clauses act as UI controls for creating, selecting and modifying data in software applications.

Heck, I have enough trouble composing sentences with the correct grammatical form. And yet, a computer can manage to do it...most of the time, anyway. Take that, Siri.

This week, as look at natural language queries.

TTFN, Fred.
