Do robots grope?
Only the orange ones
Right, I can't believe anyone would think autonomous robots would be a good idea. I saw the movie and it ended badly for the humans. I think most of us in here are old enough that we saw the movie.Quote:

The first time I read this as androgynous robots.Quote:

My son just made high honor roll after being a disaster earlier in the year
Proud of the little dickhead
Nice job Baby Booner.
Long haul 15 hours flights for under 300 bucks. And pulled pork with good slaw.
Guaranteed you do not want me eating pulled pork and slaw on a long haul flight. :0. Or any flight.Quote:

Shit, robots are already better dancers than me!
I'm probably worse than you. My wife and I won a prize at a company barn dance--country music dancing--for most amusing couple. Which was fine with me but she took it hard since she once had a scholarship to the SF Ballet school. We won a wok though, which seems odd at a barn dance.Quote:

Geese flying and honking.
That's why I carry Schrader valve core removers in my truck.
My bike shop has a part time mechanic who has been working a couple years for just parts, no pay. Went in there this wkend and he is now working part time for pay...min wage. He's a bit older (late 50's) and very well spoken. Somehow it came up that he was living in Spain a while back for 3 years. That turned into other places all over the world he had lived. Then it comes up that he speaks seven languages. Hmmm. I'm like, "so what exactly were you doing living in Iraq!? Working for the state dept?" ...CIA for 32 years, last several of my career, counter terriorism. Ahh...very interesting.
Bet he could take care of those disabled parking violators....
He has a very particular set of skills; skills he acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.
You’d Need 63 Billion Years to Do What This Computer Can Do in a Second
If a person did one calculation a second, she would have to live for more than 63 billion years to match what the machine can do in a second.
Stupefying? Another analogy: The University of Tennessee football stadium seats about 100,000 people. If it was full, and everyone in it had a modern laptop, it would take 20 stadiums full of similarly equipped people to match the computing firepower of the Summit.
200 petaflops. Wiki says the first single petaflop machine was IBM Roadrunner...in 2009. Nine years, >2 orders of magnitude. Extrapolate that out another decade or five and the mind boggles. That said:
The human brain is estimated to have a computational equivalency of ~40 petaflops, but it has a volume of about 1.3 liters and uses the equivalent of about 20 watts of electricity.Quote:
Summit, built by IBM in a partnership with Nvidia, is made up of rows of black, refrigerator-size units that weigh a total of 340 tons and are housed in a 9,250 square-foot room. The machine is powered by 9,216 central processing chips and 27,648 graphics processors that are lashed together with 185 miles of fiber-optic cable.
Cooling Summit requires 4,000 gallons of water a minute, and the supercomputer consumes enough electricity to light up 8,100 American homes.
in the same notion, squirrels jumping from tree to tree.Quote:

My new stereo receiver, replacing the old one that was nearly 25 years old. It has wi-fi, Bluetooth, direct connection to my music and services like Spotify and Pandora, and a phone app controls it so I can turn it on and play all kinds of shit without having to get up. And it sounds better than the old one.
In other words yet another way to make americans more obese.Quote:

My stepbrother is a HS dropout that went back and earned his GED, went to local community college, and eventually graduated from 4 yr university.
I just learned that when he got his first sales job, working from home, he would wake up and put a suit on every morning to work at home office.
When I work from home I don't even shower.
He makes about $300k/yr now
Fuck. I am doing it wrong. Although ever since I had to move the office down to the basement for the summer while my daughter is home from Uni, I have taken to showering before work and actually putting on pants. And socks and shoes. I know, right?Quote:

I help occasionally with class at a super diverse community college. The attitude and commitment of these adults trying to learn swimming later in life is inspiring.
Can't imagine not being able to swim, but many can't. Too many fun things to do in water. I'd probably be scared to go on a boat if i couldn't swim.
That is impressive.Quote:

Growing up in MN, I assumed everyone knew how to swim. Moving west, I learned I was wrong.
Good for you for helping out.
