Oh look, another kid who can't drive and wants a machine to do it for him. Don't worry son, they'll come up with an AI arse wiper for people like you too soon.
"Deep" for an ANN is maybe 20 levels with a few thousand neurons. The human brain has 100 billion neurons with approx 100 trillion connections between them. However well current ANNs may do on a single task , thats all they can do. Train the same network to do a 2nd task and it'll forget how to do the 1st task properly if it remembers at all. An ANN is little more than a highly complex summed weights if - then tree and they are a VERY long way from giving birth to general AI - ie an AI system that can learn multiple tasks like a biological brain with little to no reduction in efficiency of learnt current skills when learning new ones. And thats before we get on to creativity which is a whole other topic.
There barely is any racing in F1 - 95% of the time its a procession. Without any spectacle its nothing.
And yes, hybrids can accelerate fast, so what? Given a choice out of a Tesla model S or a mustang V8 I know which I'd choose and it isn't the tesla. There's more to cars than just outright power.
Bernie before and now the current owners of F1 have lost sight of what motorsport is about. Its supposed to be spectacle, not some techno wank fest with drivers almost along for the ride. The whole hybrid engine thing is a joke as now there isn't even a sound spectacle to make up for the lack of decent racing. If they truly gave a damn about the enviroment as they claim then stop the whole circus - the amount of fuel saved with the new engines is an insignificant blip compared to the thousands of tons used in transporting cars and drivers around the world.
Frankly no one would miss it - racing enthusiasts have moved on.
One light year is still WAY beyond the bounds of our known solar system and lets nor forget that the oort cloud is still pretty theoretical and no one has actually seen one of these objects yet in situ (though the claim is this is where comets come from) unlike those in the kuiper belt. So saying it grazed out solar system is pushing it a bit. If it had strayed into the kuiper belt yes , otherwise, umm, not really.
To be blunt, I don't fucking care. Punishment isn't just a means to an end, it is an end in its own right. What you call baser instincts most people would call justice and clearly you're just some naive little prick who's never been the victim or had a loved one who's been the victim of a serious crime.
There's punishment too. I know, I know, thats not a trendy thing to say today where we must treat criminals as poor misguided souls no matter how heinous their crimes. But hey, some people think punishment is kind of important because otherwise there's little deterrant and no natural justice for victims. But what do those facist dinosaurs know eh?/sarcasm
"And as always they showcase the technology with a scene that would have rendered just as well with current rasterizer+lightmap techniques that people have gotten used to over the last 20 years."
Yes, and 20 years ago it would probably have taken a couple of hours to render a single frame on a top spec PC, not 60fps real time you clueless gimp.
Lead and its compounds are generally non volatile. There's about as much danger from lead in paint as there is from lead on a church roof. Unless you're stupid enough to lick it or eat it which admittedly some children can be.
Actually I take back the 2nd comment, it is poor planning of one way streets , bus only streets and dead enders. But its also down to absurdly long red phases on the lights that have nothing to do with with red light runners.
"The longer red phase (in the UK, there are a few seconds between the light going red and the other road going green) was a direct response to red light runners and has reduced traffic light collisions since."
Utter bollocks. Where'd you read that, the Daily Mail?
"Traffic issues in Norwich and Cambridge are the direct result of piss-poor planning."
So true. Here in the UK some councils deliberately set the phase of traffic lights to stay red longer , ostensibly to make crossing easier for pedestrians, but its common knowledge (especially in London) that its designed to cause traffic jams so car drivers stay away. Also one way streets and systems, dead-ended streets that were previously a through route and bus only streets are another way town planners can really fuck up the traffic flow. Which in a city like London which does have decent public transport they can just about get away with, but in other cities , eg Norwich, that only have buses it becomes a poor joke.

Presumably the thinking is that there are so many of them that the chances of all of them stopping at the same time are virtually nil. No doubt there is plenty of redundancy and a number could fail before the craft could no longer produce enough thrust to maintain lift.
One had a low wing, one had a high wing. One would hope the high wing model will be the one to go into production if ground safety issues have anything to do with it. I really don't think many people will want to work around an aircraft with a dozen unsheilded lawnmower blades at waist height as there's always a small chance some kind of hardware or software error might make one spin up by mistake.

Come on , the guy is a robot, he has less personality than a boiled potato.
I read both thanks, and saying it might have perturbed objects in a currently purely theoretical cloud of objects is just speculation.

Ditto above.

So true. Here in the UK some councils deliberately set the phase of traffic lights to stay red longer , ostensibly to make crossing easier for pedestrians, but its common knowledge (especially in London) that its designed to cause traffic jams so car drivers stay away. Also one way streets and systems, dead-ended streets that were previously a through route and bus only streets are another way town planners can really fuck up the traffic flow.

You'd hope there'd be at least 2 batteries for redundancy, but who knows.

Its clearly an aircraft with non retractable wings that would get about 10 foot down a road before the wings collided with part of the scenery.
