This is the first step to the "cat chasing a mouse" AI in the Charles Stross's book Accelerando. They programmed the AI to see the missile's target as a mouse so it would chase it. We're just a few steps away from this.
Despite Elon Musk's recent anti-AI ranting (which does have truth too it), we'll get our flying cars once we can implement a "bird-based" AI to fly it for us. The more we replicate nature in our tech the further we'll get. I predict we'll see "emergent features" such as social hierarchies, empathy, emotions, and such in our tech the more neurons we add without even really needing to program it on purpose.
For me, Han not shooter first ruined the idea of his redemption. He did, he was a scoundrel smuggler! The Light Side saved him, that's part of the whole point of the movies.
all the net traffic gets routed through a proxy already, so yeah. So many time Google would complain that my IP when logging on to gmail had suddenly gone from Oklahoma to California (where one of their exit nodes are). Quite annoying.
LOL they stopped using *that particular implementation*, will probably wait a few months, then roll it out again under a different name and just keep more of a lid on it this time.
Me? No. I'm just a poor old man. I have no time for law- breakers. My legs are grey. My ears are gnarled. My eyes are old and bent.
Not making fun of you or your friend at all, I too am starting to feel my "age" in specific joints. But I couldn't help remembering that scene, I think about it every time I get up in the morning and sound like rice crispies.
I'll give you $1000 to come to Tulsa and do my commute for a week right now! 17 miles one-way, absolutely no "bike paths" on the way there other than the sidewalk (about half the time), you'll only have 50+ intersections to get through on your bike. Or take your bike on the highway and get arrested. Oh, and it's about 23 degrees right now and was 18 windchill when I get off work (at 5:00 AM, still dark). If your willing to bike 40 miles a day in 18 degree winds I doubt you'd be able to make it through the winter without getting ran over or suffering some nasty flu / cold and missing a bunch of work. Oh, and have fun riding your bike through our gang-infested North Tulsa, unless you wanted to go a few extra miles on your bike to get around it. Oh, and I work 12 hour shifts so enjoy spending at least 2-3 hours per day in the freezing cold and getting 4-6 hours of sleep a night per week. I'm sure some people can do that, but it's highly impracticable and potentially deadly.
wow, and the flute...that makes it even worse. Quite phallic! Only way for that to be worse is if the title of the statue was "The Skin Flute" or something
a sign of obsession, or maybe he just likes to piss people off. Still not a "good thing", but being a troll is a bit better than being so OCD you write a script to get FP on / lol
heck, just the comet shaking BEFORE it starts out-gassing might send Philae off. A human there could easily punt Philae off the surface way over escape velocity. Luckily Rosetta will see that happening pretty quickly; but your probably right it will get shaken off before it can recharge much. Maybe if it can recharge a bit first they can actually fire the harpoons. ARG, A HUMP LIKE A SNOWHILL! IT'S COMET 67P!
Um, probably would have left off the solar panels and all that charging equipment. Pioneer 10 ran for 30 years off a single kilo. A few grams would have kept this lander probe going for quite some time.
Unfortunately we're pretty much out of Pu238. The US just started in 2013 to make it again, but only at 1.5Kg a year. Curiosity used around 4kg of it, so it would take at least 2-4 years to make enough for a single probe. We used to buy decommissioned nukes from Russia and reprocess it, but now a) Putin hates us and b) they too are pretty much out of decommissioned nuclear material to even sell. Maybe by 2017 the USA might have enough to make a single RTG for a deep space mission.
The Sun uses fuel too, just we humans don't have to provide it. Billions of tons of hydrogen a day in fact. Your stealing kinetic energy in a wind / hydro plant, mostly secondary energy from the Sun. Cam you add more fuel to the Sun? Then it too isn't a "renewable" either.
one underwater probe lasted about ten minutes, enough time to film how impossible it is to "fix" where the leak is, a 6cm long 3cm wide pipe that has maybe 10cm of clearance. All deep in highly radioactive water, so hot there where flashed all over the camera's video screen. The probe died inside there, don't know if they pulled it out or just left it. a human diver wouldn't even make it to the leak before frying.
then it probably slowly dispersed in the currents of the ocean? It would eventually sink. Some diagrams I've seen show much of it settling on the sea mount walls surrounding the Hawaiian islands, so sucks to be them? Strontium-90 is about the same half-life, and it likes to replace calcium in bones. In in the next 15-100 years we will see what the actual aquatic life's damage is...assuming there isn't another, even worse accident between now and then lol.

Forgot to mention the research on the stomatogastric nervous system heavily relate to this too...

way beyond the Red Line into uncharted space. His work will not be forgotten.
SO SAY WE ALL!

And all their paranormal / UFO reports right along side "real news" doesn't help much.
Truth is the first casualty of war.
probably drunk on russian vodka!

around here crystal methamphetamine is made from gasoline, and really gives your car that extra pep in rush hour!

He almost had one, guess he shouldn't have picked Saddam Hussein as his financial backer LOL His mega-gun was one of the top targets in Desert Storm.

Deep in space, in quiet space...the lander sleeps tonight...
Still hugely impressive, and it might still wake up eventually.
You'd think they would have learned their lesson after the Hindenburg...

It's actually a conspiracy of the NWO, who will soon release a very deadly cloud of radiation on California. This is just part of the cover-up.
