And Hashim Ijazuddin?  How does he suck here?

I’m sure the article will be updated with a correction.....

Any minute now....

It’s even advisable to set up POAs before they’re necessary as it’s a hell of a lot harder when the subject of the POA cannot give informed consent.

The Italian Job

Could you tell the difference between someone building a basement and someone building a soundproof basement?  I have no idea how thick a normal basement walls would be, so probably wouldn’t notice someone building walls thicker than normal - even if I paid any attention to how thick the walls were.

Yeah, that one.

If clothing was so tight it could stem blood flow to a gun shot wound, it would also be preventing proper blood flow to those areas before the wound happened. This would be very bad - especially as it would have been happening all over her body.

Handball isn’t anything like squash - did you mean racquetball (which is basically squash for people who aren’t good enough to play squash).

Because it’s easy to pick up and doesn’t require a high degree of physical fitness.

That depends on how you define “work” and what you expect your AI to actually do. If you’re looking for something that can identify a refrigeration unit that’s about to fail before it does so - then you absolutely *can* set a cap on the amount of knowledge it has to learn.   

Sure, in terms of origins, but I don’t think anyone would call Chapman a country singer/songwriter.  Would you?

Or did didn’t do anything for her and they then did other things which did.  But only the Narcan got reported.

I quite liked Alien 3 - I can see it’s faults, but it has it’s place. Resurrection is.... yeah. I’d still watch it if it came on TV though.

“Also, does this moron honestly not know that humans kill for sport as well? I guess it’s ok when we do it?”

I was making this exact point in the comments on the original article. People read the word “yacht” and immediately think super-rich - it never occurs to them that “normal” people might ever be on a boat, let alone own one. At least 2 of the yachts that were attacked were leased - meaning the people on board weren’t…

I watched Aliens Covenant last night on Disney+, it’s really not very good, I should have just watched Aliens again.

I think in an earlier version of the script they have a kind of stress relief booty-call rather than a relationship, but it was removed before filming.

The test isn’t - and never has been - a useful tool for measuring any particular film. Good films can fail (if the Vagina Monologues was a film, it’d fail), terrible films can pass (literal porn films can pass).

The utility of the test is in the aggregate. It sets an incredibly low bar, one that is trivially easy step…
