It's like resetting a thermostat.

Let me look at the thermostat.

List of user programmable constants

Name of the user programmable constants.

But I mean programmable materials that build themselves.

That's a Siemens S7 400 PLC, programmable logic controller .

I mean, come on, I'm not going to turn down my thermostat.

This is a completely programmable and adaptive pipe on its own.

And we're dedicated to trying to develop programmable materials for the built environment.

And I use a heat mat to sit the bath on and a thermostat to regulate it.

Then we need programmable parts that can take that sequence and use that to fold up, or reconfigure.

So, of course, with lots of programmable computers and robots around, this is an easy thing to picture.

The big difference between these machines and what we think of as computers is these machines weren't programmable.

Originally was programmable, but then they put it into a fixed function to get the performance out of it.

The thermostat is set at 100 degrees, and the other areas of the brain, involved in drive and motivation, are shut down.

There's this remarkable technology called a thermostat you grasp it, rotate it to the left, and your energy consumption in the home will decrease.

Which of these processes normally is done by a programmable shader? The illumination model is evaluated at the vertex or shader level.

You're going to be able to do programmable work through these kinds of robots, so that you can run, fly and swim anywhere.

The remaining Options installed on this machine such as Automatic Tool Presetter and Programmable Tailstock are ready to go when the Machine is energized

It was capable of iteration, conditional branching and parallel processing, and it was programmable using punched cards, an idea Babbage took from Jacquard's loom.

My gas consumption plummeted, because I started tinkering with the thermostat and the timing on the heating system, and I knocked more than half off my gas bills.

So I'd like to propose that we can combine those two worlds, that we can combine the world of the nanoscale programmable adaptive materials and the built environment.

And the way that the vendors are working together with the games developers and with the other developers, we try to figure out what is going to keep programmable.

We started with paper, we moved to a mobile application, web, and now even a controllable thermostat, and for the last five years we've been running the largest behavioral science experiment in the world.

Craig Venter showed up last year and showed you the first fully programmable cell that acts like hardware where you can insert DNA and have it boot up as a different species.

So we wondered, can we place electrodes in this area of sadness and see if we can turn down the thermostat, can we turn down the activity, and what will be the consequence of that?

The National Science Foundation's Broadening Participation in Computing program recently awarded us a grant to make a programmable version of these design tools, so hopefully in three years, anybody'll be able to go on the Web and create their own simulations and their own artifacts.

And by the way, the assumption that we can safely control the Earth's awesomely complex climate system as if it had a thermostat, making the planet not too hot, not too cold, but just right sort of Goldilocks style this is pure fantasy, and it's not coming from the climate scientists.
