  1. Re: Awesome: more "biomass" to prop up green numbe on One Third of California's Trees Are Dead (sfgate.com) · · Score: 1

    More than 1% of nuclear power reactors have exploded. Welsh farmers were burying radioactive sheep 25 years after Wormwood. TMI release of Xenon didn't count because it's "chemically inert"

  2. Re: 75% of california's poeple are brain dead on One Third of California's Trees Are Dead (sfgate.com) · · Score: 1

    Only in CA can an acre (a unit of area) be declared dead. I suppose they mean all the trees on those acres are dead, but who knows?

  3. Re: Pretty much garbage for static images on Is Google's AI-Driven Image-Resizing Algorithm Dishonest? (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Myopic, but my brain constructs sharp edges on probably sharp edges... Telegraph poles, skylines .... Fails miserably on reading text on distant signs. Fails on recognising distant faces. Other clues help ... gait, them doing recognition gestures...

  4. Re: Shut up, indeed. on Google's AI Created Its Own Form of Encryption (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Computers can not translate a language such as Tagalog. It's very slangy, idiosyncratic, and gossipy. It's human.

  5. "Cook it down" so homey... cooling with liquid radioactive sodium ... mmmmmm ....my favourite kitchen ingredient

  6. Re: When is it "life"? on Movie Written By Algorithm Turns Out To Be Hilarious and Intense (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    When it has persisted for a billion years. AI just gonna give up. If we understood desire and pain, maybe we could construct a simalacrum.

  7. Re: Same here with low CO2 levels on Researchers Say The Aliens Are Silent Because They Are Extinct (theconversation.com) · · Score: 1

    Gaia produced maximum species on a cold planet. Odd that. Maximum biomass requires a warmer planet. Coal burning hominids are fixing that. Wetlife doesn't do starship. Robots don't care, so Von Neumann replicators halt.

  8. Re: $907? on Attackers Steal $12.7M In Massive ATM Heist (mainichi.jp) · · Score: 1

    14,000 x $907 = $12.7m So where do you join this gang of 1400 fantastically well coordinated thieves?

  9. Re: What about pedestrians? on MIT Study Shows Stop Lights Won't Be Necessary In The Future (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    People will just walk..... I have seen the future and it's hilarious. . Car riders will be hacking their software to get priority....

  10. Re: not much special about diamonds on Asteroid Impacts Make Tiny Diamonds · · Score: 1

    Howard Hughes Snr invented the rotating drill head ..in 2000 was still 60% of the market. Synthetic diamonds are so cheap now, I hear they don't bother with rotating heads now, just a bunch of diamonds. Is this true?

  11. Re: What a crock on Godfather Of Encryption Explains Why Apple Should Help The FBI (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    Adi locked down Murdoch's Sky TV decoders. They had previously been hacked every 12 months or so. This doesn't make him a bad person. BDS I guess would boycott someone from the WI.

  12. Re: You can't let these get into the on Israel Thwarts Attempt To Smuggle Commercial Drones Into Gaza · · Score: 1

    Why tiny quad copiers? Fixed wing 25 kg Aerosonde drone crossed Atlantic in 2006. Hamas could launch from Greece, fly around and come in from Jordan, or wherever.
