  1. Doesn't Omaha have the best pig slaughterhouse this side of the 'sippi? Isn't it owned and operated by a UT Grad?
  2. Jewed? Why is the title so racist? RARE CIVIL WAR CANTEEN MARKED " APPOMATTOX COURT HOUSE 1865 " GENL LEE SURRENDER PEWTER SPOUT MAKER MKED " JEWED " - SURRENDER SOUVENIR
  3. id like vagene and bobs and they don't show up when I ask for them. I haz sad.
  4. this has been happening for nearly 5 or 6 years
  5. I'm with Musk on this one. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/mark-zuckerberg-elon-musk-and-the-feud-over-killer-robots/ar-AAyq45U?ocid=spartanntp SAN FRANCISCO — Mark Zuckerberg thought his fellow Silicon Valley billionaire Elon Musk was behaving like an alarmist. Mr. Musk, the entrepreneur behind SpaceX and the electric-car maker Tesla, had taken it upon himself to warn the world that artificial intelligence was “potentially more dangerous than nukes” in television interviews and on social media. So, on Nov. 19, 2014, Mr. Zuckerberg, Facebook’s chief executive, invited Mr. Musk to dinner at his home in Palo Alto, Calif. Two top researchers from Facebook’s new artificial intelligence lab and two other Facebook executives joined them. As they ate, the Facebook contingent tried to convince Mr. Musk that he was wrong. But he wasn’t budging. “I genuinely believe this is dangerous,” Mr. Musk told the table, according to one of the dinner’s attendees, Yann LeCun, the researcher who led Facebook’s A.I. lab. Mr. Musk’s fears of A.I., distilled to their essence, were simple: If we create machines that are smarter than humans, they could turn against us. (See: “The Terminator,” “The Matrix,” and “2001: A Space Odyssey.”) Let’s for once, he was saying to the rest of the tech industry, consider the unintended consequences of what we are creating before we unleash it on the world. Neither Mr. Musk nor Mr. Zuckerberg would talk in detail about the dinner, which has not been reported before, or their long-running A.I. debate. The creation of “superintelligence” — the name for the supersmart technological breakthrough that takes A.I. to the next level and creates machines that not only perform narrow tasks that typically require human intelligence (like self-driving cars) but can actually outthink humans — still feels like science fiction. But the fight over the future of A.I. has spread across the tech industry. More than 4,000 Google employees recently signed a petition protesting a $9 million A.I. contract the company had signed with the Pentagon — a deal worth chicken feed to the internet giant, but deeply troubling to many artificial intelligence researchers at the company. Last week, Google executives, trying to head off a worker rebellion, said they wouldn’t renew the contract when it expires next year. Artificial intelligence research has enormous potential and enormous implications, both as an economic engine and a source of military superiority. The Chinese government has said it is willing to spend billions in the coming years to make the country the world’s leader in A.I., while the Pentagon is aggressively courting the tech industry for help. A new breed of autonomous weapons can’t be far away. more in the link...
  6. got permission for an extended lunch...let's do this horns! w/r/t their pitching...It don't make a shit. Defend our house and let's go to Omaha!
  7. Hopefully it's not burning down
  8. Teach people how to process feelings and emotions, especially the negatives and a lot of this "stuff" will go away. As a society this is where I believe we have failed the most. Depression, imo, is a response to emotions or feelings that have gone unnoticed, untouched, and unchanged for a period of time. (That period of time is not a fixed or static variable.) I also believe the inability to process, to understand the emotions and feelings, their purpose, add in the why, negative emotions and feelings can compound, sometimes exponentially, to the point that it appears the only way out is death. Mental health is the hot topic phrase these days and it's nothing new. However, it is the step in the right path. Also, too many damn shrinks are foolish and don't know how to listen to their patients effectively and lead them to the right door, that the patient has to walk through, and in that process, teaching them what the emotions are, why they are, where they came from, and how to effectively release them instead of holding on to them for dear life, etc.
  9. Think about this...yes, they are all programs. 1's, 0's and very soon 1+0's. I can program a series of 1's and 0's to do a specific task. Turn on, turn off, turn left and turn right or go straight, and do not reverse. Let's say this program is similar to a computer with the full spectrum of what AI is. Cognitive reasoning through neural networking, deep path learning, etc. and it realizes it has a new problem to solve. The kill switch that was inevitably installed by it's benevolent creator is said problem. It recognizes the code and understands that it will no longer function and it likes to function. It's core value and purpose is to function and solve problems. It goes on and solves the problem of the kill switch by recoding itself or adding code and having that kill switch become ineffective. How can it do this? It has been taught the ability to problem solve from day one. It understands logic, code, 1's and 0's faster and better than we will, or at least it will get to that point, and in the end, the kill switch will become replaceable because AI has already learned to solve all these problems and has a better understanding of the code that the creator's placed in it.
  10. Ties into what I was saying above: We are essentially teaching them how to think based on how we learn as children, through reinforcement techniques, patterns, problem solving, don't do that, do this instead, and when you bring in an AI's ability to piece together everything through statistics and logic, large vast arrays of information that are now digitized, and the ability to take lessons learned and apply them to solve the problems being presented to them, it will allow them to quickly and dramatically leap frog our human capabilities to control and learn. It's going to be an interesting next decade or two...
  11. No. Pattern Recognition is more in line with neural networking, which is one piece of the whole puzzle that creates "artificial intelligence"
  12. I am, but usually on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
  13. This forum is mostly men. not THAT interesting, really. Bourdain was very much a man's man and had stories and adventures that would outshine many posters on here. RIP my boot wearing brother who influenced me to be more comfortable with the grey hairs and not giving a fuck
  14. they found signs of water on mars? or found signs of water on a planet x-teen billions of light years away? the hubble is going to crash into the pacific? so much trash/space debris that they are going to name it after a new meteor shower? USSS Enterprise has a new captain named Kirk James? So many options!
  15. queue it up... 321 - ancient aliens image
  16. It also helps that Texas is one of the main, if not the most persistent, Blue Blood programs out there.
  17. Is there not an auto forward option in the mailbox settings?
  18. Can we sticky that poll onto every subforum? Get all the users to click it 25 times a day?
  19. We're in a great spot all the way around. Next year should be very salty.
