I never write on an iphone, so didn't know today's ridiculous apostrophizing is an autocorrect thing - but that could explain why people sound like idiots or would that be sound like idiot's on the internet.

I find it the worst when giving driving directions for most streets and towns in New Zealand because Siri has not been trained recognize or pronounce Maori names. So you ask for directions to ie Oneroa (oh-ner-ROW-a) will attempt to find ow

I've read a lot of answers which suggest the usual things that are considered in the wider community, so it is a bit surprising that there are no AI type solutions put forth in this site for hackers. Surely some way to detect and extin

Hawkins' and Dawkins' "A Thousand Brains" explains why this is so very well. For this reason, we'd almost expect that Boston Dynamics' dancing and door opening robots would make a better starting point for AI

Great news. Long needed simple fix for climate. The highest sector for GHG emissions in California for example, is transport.

Wouldn't it be more efficient for the robots to do the sorting instead of the humans so there are no mistakes that need correcting. For one thing, when someone puts ie a custard contaminated paper plate in recycling, the custard can co

as the pictures show in that article, at 9 weeks, there is no fetus. What was aborted is kind of loose clump of matter about 1"

you are right, my mistake. I will edit my comment to include what an abortion looks like measured against a ruler at up to 9 weeks (most abortions are that early)

Unborn baby is a misnomer: There are photos here of the aborted pregnancy tissue (gestational sacs) aka "unborn baby" shown at up to 9 weeks with a ruler by this GP who performs abortions: https://www.nytimes.com/2

This "abortion pill" is actually taken within day after intercourse. It simply prevents implantation of the ovum in the womb lining. So in fact there is not yet even a zygote, let alone a fetus, let alone a third trimester unborn

Yes, insane zoning limits in cities in the US since the 60s have indeed made it impossible to build near jobs. But there's abandoned medieval villages (no plumbing or electricity so far...) in hilly rural Italy.

In Japan, there are empty houses going cheap as old people die off. In a few decades, possibly there will be some effect as the de-population bomb from lowered birthrates globally begin to affect real estate prices. Let's hope.

This is a lawyer's fairly detailed history of how previous cases like Trump's went. This election fraud case (hiding money spent to prevent facts becoming known while campaigning for office) is a Federal elections crime convicted

true. But all transcription tools are terrible transcribing technical language if someone has accented English.

The thermal energy storage aspect of CSP is how the heat is accessed to run the power block - it not paired with- like some kind of bolt-on extra - is definitely demonstrated at scale. Just not in the US, which only tried out 5 CSP plants,

To decarbonize heavy industry, highly concentrated solar thermal is the best option. Heat is the form of energy most responsible for carbon emissions in industries like steel and cement. Solar thermal (duh) generates heat from thousands of
