Off topic, but rest in piece Paul Ruebens! Comedy, aesthetic, and a genuine human wrapped into one. Fran mentioned a lot of great people, thinkers who have passed… Peewee in the background is a fitting ode to the comedy and thinking we need in our life.
I LOVE shrimp, I've had pet crawfish and neocaradina shrimp of all various colors. It's amazing to see them live their life, I've watched them for hours. Sadly to say I find as much intrigue and beauty watching crustaceans as the finest art man has to offer…
Wait until people begin launching their personal Flipper Zeros at the Drone Motherships and then raid them as they fall to Earth .
They estimate a human mind can do an exaflop of operations a second… we're getting close. In light of the upset at Open AI with firing Sam Altman, 600 employees threatening to quit, and the stir about a potential AI breakthrough that caused the firing… I really truly believe humans don't know what's about to take place. It's going to be something to behold, whether we end up winning or losing because of this new AI it will change humanity forever. Throw in computers that can do as many calculations as a human? Just like that, we could birth something more mentally capable than we can comprehend.
I LOVE THE USE OF HOLDING UP NEWSPAPER ARTICLES!!! Thank you! I love the use of physical newspapers!
Even the drumming bunny needs juice. No juice=no computer, or IA, or mining, or lights or Tacobell.
AI will invent itself SuperAI which in turn will invent itself AL – Artificial LIFE! I give it a week between each of these.
At least its a Turkey and not a Cassowary!
Another informative half hour spent in your company. Thank you.
🛸🛸Thnx for de newz🛸🛸 Maybe that big supercomputer will stop pumping sum good answers on quora – finally 🙂 🛸🛸
IBM Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator (ASCC), was aka Harvard Mark I. From Wiki: "The ASCC was built from switches, relays, rotating shafts, and clutches. It used 765,000 electromechanical components and hundreds of miles of wire, comprising a volume of 816 cubic feet (23 m3) – 51 feet (16 m) in length, 8 feet (2.4 m) in height, and 2 feet (0.61 m) deep. It weighed about 9,445 pounds (4.7 short tons; 4.3 t).[8] The basic calculating units had to be synchronized and powered mechanically, so they were operated by a 50-foot (15 m) drive shaft coupled to a 5 horsepower (3.7 kW) electric motor, which served as the main power source and system clock. The enclosure for the Mark I was designed by futuristic American industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes"
I appreciated the picture of the IBM computer. Thank you for sharing.
A part of me wouldn't mind talking to a truly self aware computer.
I signed a petition to save the radiotelescope in New Jersey.
Tree Shrimp….sounds like the plot of a schlock horror movie.
I don't know how practical it is, but at the end of its life, boost the ISS into that " junkyard orbit" for the future.. a museum orbit of sorts.
good talk, especially the land-shrimp segment..I wonder if they're healthier to eat, as opposed to the filthy farm raised or poison ocean varieties
It will grind to a halt at ‘disk quota exceeded’ and ‘permission denied: are you root’.
I'm sad that some of those astronauts we're shown that much disrespect in the years afterward. Those guy's are all hero's in my book. If it was because they were just American's well that's the world we live in.
The Grand Tour was a frustration for seasonal irregularities. They blamed Covid
