Let's talk about Artificial Intelligence

I think any car pre about 1984 is ok as they have no computer on board. My house is a greater threat as my vacuum cleaner and pool robot could rise up against us. -

I hope they have the chants. I love the chants, timed to the hammers hitting the rocks.

Jerry that makes no sense to me. The outcome is either random or it is not. The next number is not dependent on previous results. -

I still carry two Avgas cards for flying but havent needed them for years. Most sites use a phone app or credit card. But if I ditch the Avgas cards I am bound to get caught somewhere. I guess it is the same with EV charging.

When I was travelling for work I discovered that many ads are voiced and adapted locally. For example, "Kiwi kids are Weetbix kids". And many US ads were given Aussie voices, but these days they tend not to bother as we seem to have accepted US accents. And racially inappropriate actors in Aussie ads, which are simply run here without change.

This is an interesting short film about Broken Hill, made in 1953. Where I lived for 12 years.

The climate change debate continues.
pmccarthy replied to Phil Perry's topic in Science and Technology
When people say that wind and solar are free, they need to explain. Oil gas and coal are just as free, they are sitting in the ground waiting to be taken. On a cost per unit of energy, oil, gas and large open pit coal can be very cheap. So it is simply a choice based on lifetime capital and operating costs for the whole energy system. We distort that by applying subsidies. -

Agreed, it didn’t interest me. -

pmccarthy replied to Phil Perry's topic in Science and Technology
My response was on two items, I should have been more specific. One was energy density, which Siso has addressed. The other is the UK powering itself by wind. That is like the old saying that ten litres of a toxin was enough to kill everyone in the world. Maybe, but it ain’t going to happen. -
In the Christian context, the word catholic (with a lowercase "c") comes from the ancient Greek word katholikos, meaning "universal," "whole," or "all-embracing." When used in historic Christian creeds, it describes the entire, worldwide body of believers united in Christ, rather than a single specific denomination.

I was taught that all the Christian flavours are Catholic, just not Roman.

I worked on that project in the 1990s. It takes a while to get mines going.

Absolute rot! Wind alone? What have you been reading? -
Yes they are. That would provide perhaps 10% of what they need, same as Australia.
