I wouldn't worry about that until much much larger animal models. Besides, it's just the visual system. I don't know where there's a moral limit. Several millions of neurons? A billion?

I like it, although it eat my cables and gets stuck. There's potential but it's far from perfect. It finds a lot of dust. To be honest, the worst part is emptying the dustbin,which i need to do every 2-3 days. But i forgive it whe

Before dreaming on, why not make a Roomba that actually works. I have an older Roomba and a newer BotVac, and the BotVac is slightly more clever, but it's about 10% chance that I won't find it bleeping helplessly on some new minor

They were initially close to a high altitude stall, the margins are not that large at that altitude, so just dropping everything isn't really an option. The report highlighted training, which I guess is always possible to point out, bu

I guess this is the core of why there's no permit. Typically a permit stipulates that a building should be finished within a certain time. It can probably be prolonged, but I think the project was in hiatus for a long time. Or a couple

Judging by a few nights in Helsinki a long time ago, the main strategy for men seemed to be drinking themselves into such a helpless state that it triggered some sort of maternal instinct in a girl walking by. It seemed to work for them. Ac

I'm pretty sure this is more related to a rather radical shift to a more industrialised agriculture the recent 40 years. Grazing land and more importantly meadows are simply gone. According to Wikipedia, England and Wales have lost abo

Well, Parkinsons law seems to be intact so we will all work in middle management in a few decades, all responsible for requesting service level agreements from each others legal department AIs.

I'm pretty sure that this strategy won't hold up in court. If you have a sign that indicates that a secret event have not happened, the intent of removing the sign is to indicate that the secret event did happen. The intent is

It's seems to be an uphill battle. The Swedish researcher Amir Sariaslan has given up due to a uninterested or even hostile reception. The Economist called his paper disturbing (but interesting). One would imagine that bringing facts t

I think even BBC is entitled to a certain amount of indignation after having watched a video where a lovely 9-year old girl is blindfolded and then shot.

According to studies made in UK that I'm too lazy to find; yes. It's dark in the morning too, maybe going to school before dawn is the major problem, given that the schools are closed in the summer. I've heard of doctors pres

TV is so dying, they don't even know it. In one way, I'm worried about the quality of news reporting now when traditional media is slowly withering away, but since they are focusing on haircuts, I don't think it really matter

I have an older random walk Roomba and a newer Neato BotVac. The Botvac is nearly usable, but is also battling and eventually getting stuck on a dustpan in a corner more often than not. The Botvac get caught on a lot of random junk and is b

The similarity is obviously intented . The "original" titles in Norwegian are "Min Kamp" and "Min Kamp: 1" respectively, since Knausgård planned it to be a hexalogy. (Or at least more than one book.) I suppo

I agree, but I will settle for a sticker that says "disabled." Also, when I press a "close door" button in an elevator, I expect a so-fast-it's'-silly Star Wars closing speed. Or realistically at least a reacti

Signalling and train control systems typically have two independent implementations - full stack: hardware, os, software, different development teams. I guess you'd need three separate implementations to achive some redundancy when you

It was an example. It's delicate in every possible way. It tolerates water, marginally, but that's it. I also understand that it's better for the manufacturer that I pay through my insurance or otherwise, but that is not my

How about they built the fscking cars so they would survive being outdoors? I certainly don't have anti-hail navy-grade cannons at home. I never really understood why cars have the outer finish of an indoor piece of art. My car have sc

I think it's actually because of tsunamis and storms more than just negligence. An event like the Tōhoku tsunami creates massive amounts of garbage.

I think socialism in any degree fails if there is also anything more than trace levels of corruption in public management and the political system. The socialism in Venezuela is also of the crazy-left type, not even remotely as in Denmark o

It's hard to tell until it's decided in a court. Until then it's everyone's best guess. Googles compliance officers might find it not worth the risk. There might also be other reasons one would prefer to follow the spiri

On the tour, they claimed that feature creep wasn't so much of a factor, rather it was an experimental build. No theories existed.
