    I have not yet listened to his programme but does he accept that future machines have direct access to the machinery that produce these robots/machines, ie are they allowed to design and build better machines themselves?

    machines may not predict all humans' reactions but does it really lessen our ever increasing reliance on technology? Imagine a day without electricity, mobile phone, internet etc.

    deep learning is the key technology currently used in speech and image recognition systems that equip your driverless cars. Google translate uses the same technology.

    some of the programming techniques in use for AI is neural networks and deep learning. They imitate the way our neurons are connected and fired. They are capable of creating irrational moves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_learning

    Is this the begining of the rise of the Machines?

    that's why I worry about the possibility that technology may wipe out the humans by accident or design. Think of automatic weapon systems, DNA based medication, replacement of food that is based on growing plants or caring for animals etc.

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    natural evolution / adaptation. the EU as an economic model won't survive in the free for all capitalism where producers look for lowest production cost. It needs to protect its producers in order to encourage and maintain higher standards.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the tories made the promise to carry out the result, then the last GE kept the tories in government, confirming directly their obligation to carry out brexit. However, nobody voted on the future relationship with the EU27. That matter must be decided solely by indirect representation because it...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the hard brexiteers own TM's fate. They won't care if TM gets no further concession from the EU. They want to diverge as soon as possible as a proof of regaining independence. the UK will have little space between what the EU27 is prepared to offer and CETA. I pin my hope for a softer brexit on...

    the technology may well be unfriendly to start with but the machines will quickly prove that they are more reliable, work 24 x 7 and cost essentially less for their owners thus will soon win any contest.

    KWhrs to charge a 36v 17ah battery

    if the charger loses 10W then the power meter should show 40V * 2A + 10W = 90W. The yield will be 80W/90W = 88%

    to go where no man has gone before? yes, very possibly. We rely on our machines for food production and healthcare. What if the machines find out that they don't need that many humans?

    Is this the begining of the rise of the Machines?

    I see intelligence as possibly the ultimate goal of creation. Lifeforms are just the mean to develop intelligence. Humans evolve from microbes which are less intelligent than us. With our bigger brains, we develop technology that will help us one day to spread out to other planets and broadcast...

    one may have to go back to basic, looking into what intelligence is, and whether there could be an overriding goal to intelligence which is seeding and spreading intelligence to neighbouring habitable planets and galaxies. If there is, then the tool to do that is precisely what has been...
