The Robots are coming (Page 81) Fractured fairy tale: just Imagine Chronology Won't be long and your Gamer buddies will be Laughing imagine they will be able to spend Days after UBI slaying Zombies or exploring Mars relive the battle of faluga or what ever else they get up to In Augumented Reality , Won't be good for Peoples mental health tho Scurvey and Ricketts will prolly be common place , Seeing as tho people will be more and more restricted due to enviromental protections from enjoying Nature but thats a thing of the Past As long as Sony makes a iklling all good ghostgeek: If people spend all day playing games on their phones, one does wonder at the state of their eyesight after staring at those little screens for so long. ghostgeek: If Martians ever land, they'll think we're all bug-eyed monsters from all the staring at screens we do nowadays. Fractured fairy tale: Yeah like any thing have its downsides The screens are getting pushed on us from all angles pay you bills school work you name it . Im shore a lot of people are benefiting lol ghostgeek: There's a lot of people walking around on the street who look lobotomized by the phones in their hands.
Fractured fairy tale: I think there Relying too much on this techknolgy as some type of modern Cure all , it wasnt long ago that mobile phones were a luxury for James bond , little alone these smart phones now every one Is lost with out them , Some how them few short years ago the Wheels still turned and the Steam whistles Blew ghostgeek: It gets worse: Machines Are Inventing New Math We've Never Seen Pushing the boundaries of math requires great minds to pose fascinating problems. What if a machine could do it? ... Now, a group of researchers from the Technion in Israel and Google in Tel Aviv presented an automated conjecturing system that they call the Ramanujan Machine, named after the mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, who developed thousands of innovative formulas in number theory with almost no formal training. The software system has already conjectured several original and important formulas for universal constants that show up in mathematics. The work was published last week in Nature.

Fractured fairy tale: yeah Computers play into perfectly what society conditions every one to want , instant gradification zeffur: Nothing wrong with instant gratification. We should be able to get what we want as soon as it is possible. It isn't a virtue to have to wait for everything--especially when it isn't necessary. Fractured fairy tale: Every thing Wrong with it , Nothing that gives one satisfation or meaning is instant , it has to be worked towards , Instant gradifiction is like a drug you just want more and more and becomes less and less Satisfying zeffur: So if you are driving through a drive-thru to order your food, you expect the longer your wait the better, huh? How about going to the bank? The longer & slower the line the better in your opinion?? The longer anything unnecessarily taxes your patience or wastes your time the better, huh? What is the ideal amount of unnecessary waiting or unnecessary hard work that "you think" is appropriate to achieve your maximum satisfaction? Do you mow your yard or work harder than necessary at it with a pair of scissors--because you know--unnecessary hard work some how makes it better in your goofy thinking? Waiting & working harder than necessary doesn't necessarily make ANYTHING better. That's just how you were conditioned as a put-off excuse by others as you grew up, so they could give you whatever you needed/wanted at their pace--if at all. The ideal is "proper satisfaction in the least amount of time"--unnecessary waiting & unnecessary 'hard work' isn't a virtue--it's just unnecessary... (Edited by zeffur) Fractured fairy tale: Huh who was Talking of driving though the Bank or going two mc Donalds , Funnily enough two geat examples of Conditioned Now now Want it now No tantrums now if there a que (Edited by Fractured fairy tale) ghostgeek: Well, using a drive-thru as an example does show that speed might be gained but not without a cost. Zipping through at lightning speed probably means you're feeding yourself food that'll hasten your progress to the grave. zeffur: The main point was quite validly summarized with: "Waiting & working harder than necessary doesn't necessarily make ANYTHING better. That's just how you were conditioned as a put-off excuse by others as you grew up, so they could give you whatever you needed/wanted at their pace--if at all. The ideal is "proper satisfaction in the least amount of time"--unnecessary waiting & unnecessary 'hard work' isn't a virtue--it's just unnecessary..." ghostgeek: Can't pretend that I'm a lifelong believer in hard work so yes, if something can be done with less effort I'm all for it. The trouble starts when the attempt to make life easier ends up making it less rewarding. I once tried a McDonald chip and found it a truly insipid experience. So entering a fast food joint might give you dinner in minutes but I'll be sticking to spending the best part of an hour preparing my own. (Edited by ghostgeek) ghostgeek: And if clarification is needed, British "chips" are something some people seem to call "fries". zeffur: That's where the "proper satisfaction" part of "The ideal is "proper satisfaction in the least amount of time"" comes in.. ghostgeek: The development of lower-cost, simpler to produce unmanned air vehicles is a critical component of the development of more and more capable drone swarms and cruise missiles, both of which are intended to be employed en masse. High costs and lengthy production timelines could easily make those projects economically untenable to employ on any significant scale. The Air Force, as well as other branches of the U.S. military, certainly has no lack of interest in new unmanned air vehicles of various shapes and sizes, including drone designs intended to be recoverable, but also "attritable." That means that they would be cheap enough for commanders to feel more comfortable in employing them in environments that would be seen as too high-risk for more expensive, technologically sensitive, and/or vulnerable platforms, manned or unmanned.
