    There was some discussion on RN's Future Tense about it today. One presenter made the point that pre-AI, hackers needed a fair amount of knowledge to do damage, and still do it at human speed. Soon there will be the ability for anyone to buy off the shelf AI hacking tools, which will work thousands of times faster, with no knowledge whatsoever.

    This one's for @red750. Just watching an episode of "Around the world in 80 days" (latest series, with David Tennant). Anyway, for some context, this is PG rated and very mild. The scene is Phileas Fogg and his companions rolling up to Government House in Hong Kong in a carriage. Miss Abigail Fix exclaims "Look at the security! It's like fucking a palace!" Well that's what the subtitles said, anyway. She actually said "Buckingham palace". 😂 Made me laugh!

    Or, give your kids the choice. If they want to keep the policy going, they pay the premiums.

    Jerry? Is that you?

    I have always considered life insurance a scam. As you say Peter, if you've been paying premiums for 45 years and you've worked out you could still save the amount of the payout in 7 years, imagine how much you would have now if you'd never paid them anything.

    Yep. Glad we've got ours. Nice to drive too, although sometimes tries to be a bit smart for its own good.

    Australia's 'burbs are overwhelmingly detached houses. Thousands of hectares of them. All with roofs which in many cases already have solar panels. Cheaper than nuclear or new gas or coal to fund neighbourhood batteries and more solar, and smart boxes on each property. Batteries could still be connected to wider grid for importing or exporting when demand changes.
  8. Marty_d
    Which is why neighbourhood batteries and a more distributed grid in general makes sense. Keep generation, storage and usage close where possible.

    I can see customs getting a bit suss as he's shuffling his passports looking for the right one...

    Poor dog. Imagine being a dog and living with a human being that has less sense than you.

    Sheer madness, saying that.

    In theory it should be easier for a good computer program to win chess against even the best humans. A computer can look at all possible combinations of moves on both sides for the next what, 6-8 moves or more? Try doing that yourself... I have difficulty working out the possible combinations for the next 3 moves in just the critical areas.

    But Peter, that's from experts. As every one of Trump's administration picks proves, being an actual expert in something automatically disqualifies your opinion.

    If you can't see what's wrong with that, there's no hope.

    How many of Pauline's promises do you think she'd keep? She's riding high on the (Gina) hog while laughing at people who vote for her. She's literally Australia's Trump.

    I like pina coladas. Although not when filtered through a dog.
