Get ready to have the incredible Miniature Pine Tree, also known as Crassula tetragona, a vibrant member of the Crassula genus! Just take a look at its needle-like leaves and shrubby appearance that earned it the nickname Miniature Pine Tree succulent. But hold up - despite its nickname, this isn't actually a pine tree at all; it's a succulent! 

Hailing all the way from southern Africa, this unique-looking dwarf pine tree is truly one-of-a-kind. Bonsai enthusiasts cannot resist its charm and it's not hard to see why! The leaves of the Crassula tetragona plant are tiny plants sparsely branched with a woody, brown bark that adds an extra touch of pine tree-like illusion. 

At full maturity, this fabulous Crassula tetragona can reach just over 3 feet tall. When blooming it produces creamy white star-shaped flowers that burst forth from dense clusters at the tips of their branches during late spring or early summer, creating an enchanting floral display that will leave you breathless. 

The Crassula teteragona stems grow into mini pine tree succulents and shed their lower leaves but fear not - pruning and transplanting are no problem for this adaptable wonder! Crassula tetragona propagation can be done from leaf cuttings and stem cuttings, but leaf propagation is the easiest and most effective way to propagate this mini pine tree. 

Watering Needs 

These dwarf pine tree succulents are low-maintenance succulent plants that require minimal watering. It is best to water this Crassula tetragona when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering can cause the roots to rot, so it is essential to allow the soil to dry out before watering again. During the summer months, succulents may require more frequent watering, but it is important to avoid waterlogging the soil. 

If you live in a humid climate, you should water your succulent less frequently, even once every 10 days. To determine when to water your mini pine tree, pay close attention to how it looks; shriveling is a sign that you must water this beauty. Just make sure not to overdo it on baby plants and let them sit in standing water or else they could develop root rot.  

Light Requirements 

The Crassula tetragona requires bright, indirect sunlight to thrive. If you are growing plants indoors, it's best to place this miniature pine tree near a south-facing window that receives plenty of natural light but avoids exposing it to direct sunlight for extended periods. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves and cause damage to the baby succulent.  

 If you notice that your Crassula is not getting enough bright light, it may start to stretch and become leggy. This is a sign that it is not receiving enough light and is reaching out in search of more light to thrive. To prevent this, move it to a brighter location or supplement its light with a grow light. 

It's critical to remember that during a heatwave or periods of extreme heat, your dwarf succulent trees could still sustain sun damage or get sunburned. You can protect these succulents in this situation by moving them indoors or to a shaded area. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The dwarf pine tree plant prefers well-drained potting soil that is rich in nutrients. A good potting mix for soil Crassula dwarf pine tree should include a combination of coarse sand, perlite, and peat moss. Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has specialized succulent potting soil that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your succulents thrive. It is important to avoid using heavy, clay soils that retain too much moisture. 

When it comes to fertilizing the Crassula tetragona, it is best to use a balanced, natural fertilizer during the growing season. Fertilize the miniature pine trees once a year during the spring with an equal mix of NPK (5-10-5). Avoid over-fertilizing it, as this can cause salt buildup in the soil and lead to root damage. Overall, using well-draining soil and providing the well propagate Crassula tetragona plant with regular, balanced fertilization can help ensure its health and growth. 

Hardiness Zones & More

The Crassula tetragona mini pine tree is hardy in USDA zones 10-11. This means that it can only tolerate temperatures down to around 30-35°F, and is best suited for warm, tropical climates. If you live in a colder climate, it is best to keep these dwarf pine trees indoors during the winter months or provide them with some protection from the cold. 

In terms of humidity, the dwarf pine tree succulent prefers a dry environment with low to moderate humidity levels. It can tolerate some humidity, but it is important to avoid overwatering the plant or exposing it to excessively humid conditions. If you live in a humid environment, it is best to provide good airflow around this miniature pine tree to prevent moisture buildup on the leaves and stems. 

Don't miss out on this opportunity to add something truly exceptional to your garden. Order your very own Crassula tetragona - miniature pine trees today!

Thought-provoking though not always convincing
Format: Hardcover
I originally posted a version of this review on my blog Quicksilber and am posting it here as well as I think the book merits broad notice: In a small irony, my writing about James Barrat's Our Final Invention has been slowed by a balky Internet connection. In my experience, glitches have become considerably more common as computers have become more powerful and complicated. Perhaps such growing glitchiness suggests artificial general intelligence (AGI) and artificial superintelligence (ASI) are more likely to get seriously out of control someday, though it might also be a hint that AGI and ASI are going to be harder to achieve than expected by either techno-optimists such as Ray Kurzweil or techno-pessimists such as James Barrat. Barrat's goal in this book is to convince readers that AGI and ASI are likely to occur in the near future (the next couple of decades or so) and, more to the point, likely to be extremely dangerous. In fact, he repeatedly expresses doubt as to whether humanity is going to survive its imminent encounter with a higher intelligence. I find him more convincing in arguing that ASI would carry significant risks than I do in his take on its feasibility and imminence. Barrat aptly points out that building safeguards into AI is a poorly developed area of research (and something few technologists have seen as a priority); that there are strong incentives in national and corporate competition to develop AI quickly rather than safely; and that much relevant research is weapons-related and distinctly not aimed at ensuring the systems will be harmless to humans. The book becomes less convincing when it hypes current or prospective advances and downplays the challenges and uncertainties of actually constructing an AGI, let alone an ASI. (Barrat suggests that once you get AGI, it will quickly morph into ASI, which may or may not be true.) For instance, in one passage, after acknowledging that "brute force" techniques have not replicated everything the human brain does, he states: >>But consider a few of the complex systems today's supercomputers routinely model: weather systems, 3-D nuclear detonations, and molecular dynamics for manufacturing. Does the human brain contain a similar magnitude of complexity, or an order of magnitude higher? According to all indications, it's in the same ballpark.<< Me: To model something and to reproduce it are not the same thing. Simulating weather or nuclear detonations is not equal to creating those real-world phenomena, and similarly a computer containing a detailed model of the brain would not necessarily be thinking like a brain or acting on its thoughts. A big problem for AI, and one that gets little notice in this book, is that nobody has any idea how to program conscious awareness into a machine. That doesn't mean it can never be done, but it does raise doubts about assertions that it will or must occur as more complex circuits get laid down on chips in coming decades. Barrat often refers to AGIs and ASIs as "self aware" and his concerns center on such systems, having awakened, deciding that they have other objectives than the ones humans have programmed into them. One can imagine unconscious "intelligent" agents causing many problems (through glitches or relentless pursuit of some ill-considered programmed objective) but plotting against humanity seems like a job for an entity that knows that it and humans both exist. Interestingly, though, Barrat offers the following dark scenario and sliver of hope: >>I think our Waterloo lies in the foreseeable future, in the AI of tomorrow and the nascent AGI due out in the next decade or two. Our survival, if it is possible, may depend on, among other things, developing AGI with something akin to consciousness and human understanding, even friendliness, built in. That would require, at a minimum, understanding intelligent machines in a fine-grained way, so there'd be no surprises.<< Me: Note that some AI experts, such as Jeff Hawkins, have argued the opposite--that the very lack of human-like desires, such as for power and status, is why AI systems won't turn against their makers. It would be a not-so-small irony if efforts to make AIs more like us make them more dangerous. Our Final Invention is a thought-provoking and valuable book. Even if its alarmism is overstated, as I suspect and hope, there is no denying that the subject Barrat addresses is one in which there is very little that can be said with confidence, and in which the consequences of being wrong are very high indeed.

all driven by artificial super intelligence (ASI)
Format: Hardcover
You are peering inside a black hole at a "point" beyond which you cannot see and where no one knows what exists. The point represents a period of time technologically known as Singularity. Even light cannot escape from the point and on the other side it is known only that there is a profound self replicating intelligence greater than our own, all driven by artificial super intelligence (ASI). Physicist Stephen Hawking writes that "In contrast with our intellect, computers double their performance every eighteen months. So the danger is real that they could develop intelligence and take over the world". Computer scientist and professor Vernon Vinge writes that "Within 30 years, we will have the technological means to create super human intelligence. Shortly after the human era will be ended". Our Final Invention is 267 pages of authoritative manuscript that is compelling, fascinating and beyond the fright stage. The book's author on numerous occasions refers to "we" as if there exists a unified collective engaged in artificial general intelligence(AGI) or artificial super intelligence (ASI). The reality is that some 56 nations are currently in different stages of arcane artificial intelligence designs. They include antagonists such as North Korea, Iran and suicide regimes from the Middle East. Russia, China and the U.S. are the biggest players as is Israel. The author believes that super computers fueled by nanotechnology will combine to produce ASI trillions of times more powerful than any human academic or intellectual resources. ASI has the potential to eliminate hunger, poverty, disease and even mortality but disruptions of global economies and politics will be in evidence as balance of powers are shifted. Unemployment dynamics will infect bank tellers, retail clerks, travel agents, loan officers stock brokers.... Computer software designs are so complex, even incomprehensible, that failures are inevitable. The 1986 Chernobyl meltdown, Three Mile Island, and Fukushima were all designed by highly qualified professionals but with complex infrastructures. Under Singularity as computer speeds double with frequency while human intelligence is unchanged, perhaps the musings of Hawking and Vinge will prove to be prescient. Our Final Invention is 267 pages of a very dark subject which not even a trace of a happy Betty Grable ending is to be found. My time has expired. Perhaps the final words were well expressed by Jaan Tallin, cofounder of Skype: 'A hard-hitting book about the most important topic of this century and possibly beyond---the issue of whether our species can survive. I wish it was science fiction but I know it's not'!

Gripping and Informative, a Must-read
Format: Hardcover
As someone who struggles to finish books in their entirety, I found Our Final Invention by James Barrat highly readable, deeply informative, and utterly gripping. The book contains a powerful message: through competition, distrust, desire and curiosity, humans will inevitably create an artificial intelligence (AI) that rivals or surpasses our own. Thus, it is wise and necessary to invest now in mitigation efforts and potential safeguards -- increased research and advocacy for AI risk and, most importantly, producing friendly AI. Barrat covers a lot of ground, but his main argument is summarized as follows: Currently, we humans regularly utilize narrow AI technology (technology capable of achieving specific, programmed goals through unassisted human computing -- Siri, Google search, IBM's Watson, etc). We are also experimenting with "black box" tools and techniques (programs where inputs and outputs are understood and measurable, but the processes in between aren't -- genetic algorithms/programming and software that writes better software) and artificial neural networking (ANN), as seen through efforts to reverse engineer the human brain. And, below the surface, there is an ongoing race between world powers (driven mainly by national security, defense, and international business interests) and guided by AI developers to develop and achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI) -- human-level artificial intelligence. The problem is that once AGI is achieved it will be very difficult to manage, and may very well result in the manifestation of artificial super intelligence (ASI) -- greater than human-level intelligence. ASI could theoretically become thousands of times smarter than the smartest human being alive. It won't think like us, won't want to be ruled by us, and, most crucially, it won't want to be turned off. In fact, ASI would likely regard us as potential fuel for its quest to duplicate and improve itself exponentially in order to achieve its goals. Throughout the book, Barrat refers to interesting psychological phenomena and concepts (such as the normalcy bias), while drawing on personal experiences, historic events, and interviews with computer programmers, inventors and philosophers, to tactfully illustrate how progress in AI development is dangerously rapid. Adequate checks and balances are not in place to deal with a non-ideal intelligence explosion or hard take-off (AGI quickly leading to ASI). I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about both human beings and the advancement of machines. I suspect that the prominence of AI, as a research field and topic for discussion, will only increase in time (it already has in recent years -- drones, smart technology, Wall Street high frequency trading (HFT), financial modeling), making Our Final Invention a valuable guide or stepping stone for anyone trying to understand our world and the path of the future.
