Do these things have character limits? Do these things have the same problems of IRC where you can be confused by who is replying to whom? Are they walled gardens? Are they only controlled by one company rather than being open communication standards that anyone can build tools for?

Obligatory Robocop reference:

I mean if we’re going to “fix” history, where does it end?

Yeah, this could be really help in printing replacement organs for people. Or complex machines that slowly assemble themselves as each component is printed in a separate location on a tree of parts.

I’d do neither.

Honestly, I like it. We’ve already had frequent depictions of her, unlike Batman (sorta) and Superman (sorta), as being willing to kill for sufficient reason. This lends more weight to that.

Minsky was a hero of mine, sticking to his prediction that true, general, engineered intelligence was possible. Despite wide criticism over his early, unwarranted enthusiasm and optimism and despite slow and halting progress in the fields of AI, neurology and the cognitive sciences in general, he still held that one…

So pretty much a typical tabletop d&d session, right? Only with less funny looking clothes and more guns!

AR assistance is still in it’s infancy. However one form of AR assistence is now very common and generally appreciated: GPS navigation and trip planning.

Well, good! I’ve always thought Diamond’s hypothesis about why Eurasians civilizations arose and become dominant first was essentially correct. After reading the article and this headline I was concerned.

So do they have an estimation when this will be a common therapy in doctor’s offices?

Yeah, so if this recent information is true, Grey is going to have to correct that video and Jared Diamond is going to have revise Guns, Germs and Steel.

All the stars for this.
