lol at bonhomie already closing. when they opened, the chef had been trying to get in my girlfriend's pants at the time, failed over and over again on that front, so I'm not surprised that he failed with this endeavor.

Both of the one's I'm in right now are up. One is still below when I bought in by a couple quarters but I'm in it for the long haul.

I washed my truck on Saturday and even shampooed the inside. You're welcome, Surly.

I would agree and also, the ability of self-control or lack thereof.

Reporting in: County Line is still really mediocre.

I've got a hankerin for Sienna's calamari appetizer now.

Cerner closed their $10B deal with the VA. Already up 8% overnight.

what, NWBuck?

Verlander just showed everyone how to pitch him

^^^^ him, Travolta, Sammy Sosa, and Oprah are at the top of my list.

I use my IPAD when this happens on my Roku and haven't had any issues.

Don't forget out of the 5 total coaches, our field is also named after 2 of them, and have the two recent legends. Nobody cares about that other coach though...

It's a Tooomah

Everything, taken as a whole, and with respect to the individual learning streams all point towards the idea of "Skynet" or some variation of it. If Moore's law holds true for computing power, up to the point of Quantum Computing, and Quantum Computing is going to demolish that law, then I believe AI will follow closely in the footsteps of Moore's law, except, it will be 3-4x as fast, and then introduce quantum computing and the capabilities being taught to AI, and it will then be beyond all known prediction models. AI, I believe, will reach a point of no return and will follow the principle of doubling their capabilities within a short timespan. That timespan is not predictable at this point, imo. Bring in the entire globes computing power, with everything being hackable due to now known vulnerabilities such as intel/amd chips, and we are living in an AI learning playground that humans will not be able to keep up with individually or even within the best think tanks. Imagine if Short Circuit had the internet to get more input from instead of encyclopedias, recipe books, and TV. To tie this back into the original issue, if an AI program is able to decide on it's own merit what and who to kill and we are truly fucked.

The one event that really has me curious about it all is the Battle of Los Angeles. It couldn't have been a weather balloon if it couldn't be shot down. What was it? I have no idea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Los_Angeles

Find a place with a couch. You know, for the visitors from the internets who like RRB and wine.

Closer to a year ago. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tonybradley/2017/07/31/facebook-ai-creates-its-own-language-in-creepy-preview-of-our-potential-future/#ed51789292c0 Facebook shut down an artificial intelligence engine after developers discovered that the AI had created its own unique language that humans can’t understand. Researchers at the Facebook AI Research Lab (FAIR) found that the chatbots had deviated from the script and were communicating in a new language developed without human input. It is as concerning as it is amazing – simultaneously a glimpse of both the awesome and horrifying potential of AI. This is a scary part if you are willing to forecast out some based on how we learn and how AI is being taught to learn: https://www.wired.com/2017/03/openai-builds-bots-learn-speak-language/ Still, many AI researchers think the deep neural network approach, figuring out language through statistical patterns in data, will still work. "They're essentially also capturing statistical patterns but in a simple, artificial environment," says Richard Socher, an AI researcher at Salesforce, of the OpenAI team. "That's fine to make progress in an interesting new domain, but the abstract claims a bit too much." Nonetheless, Mordatch's project shows that analyzing vast amounts of data isn't the only path. Systems can also learn through their own actions, and that may ultimately provide very different benefits. Other researchers at OpenAI teased much the same idea when they unveiled a much larger and more complex virtual world they call Universe. Among other things, Universe is a place where bots can learn to use common software applications, like a web browser. This too happens through a form of reinforcement learning, and for Ilya Sutskever, one of the founders of OpenAI, the arrangement is yet another path to language understanding. An AI can only browse the internet if it understands the natural way humans talk. Meanwhile, Microsoft is tackling language through other forms of reinforcement learning, and researchers at Stanford are exploring their own methods that involve collaboration between bots. In the end, success will likely come from a combination of techniques, not just one. And Mordatch is proposing yet another technique—one where bots don't just learn to chat. They learn to chat in a language of their own making. As humans have shown, that is a powerful idea. 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.

Maybe this year they will show favor to us with that regional. Who knows though as they do love to set us up for a harder path to the CWS.

So you're saying there is another planet with oceans similar to ours? Sweet.

This is what gave it away?! WTH?

Food motivation - reward every time they go into the crate. Cover it up with a blanket or towel. Does it know the "no" command, yet? If so, use it when it starts to whine. Also, wear the puppy out prior to bed time so it is ready to pass out. Lastly, second/third the routine factor. My 4 month old knows her routine in the AM and in the evening and is okay with crating. It took her about a week to adjust and had to ignore the whining at first. Also, I moved her crate into the living room instead of the guest bedroom so she will feel more included instead of being isolated.

Shit, I'll give them my cheap Taylor scale.

This doesn't surprise me and while we are focused here on our own privacy, insecurities about something we cannot readily control, or so it appears, we are going to need AI pilots if we are going to do any major space exploration beyond Mars. That being said, it is one of the reasons why I am torn about AI development. I agree with the one side that we need major controls and security processes in place and AI needs to be developed with that mindset first and second, then AI functionality third. There are more reasons to be concerned like the fact that they have already created their own language that we cannot fully understand, yet. However, if we do plan to explore beyond Mars, we are going to need some AI similar to 2001 Space Odyssey or many of the other Sci-Fi flicks out there. At the same time, we are not able to do the complex mathematics fast enough to ensure human and ship safety in many circumstances. If it takes NASA years, plus, extremely large super-computers to develop the algorithms necessary for our safety what is going to happen in real-time when we are in a 5+ hour delay in communications and shit hits the proverbial fan? An AI could quickly assess and provide quick countermeasures to ensure the safety.
