You obviously have looked into this more carefully than I have.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

It is to do with global warming, I have looked into it a lot, in depth.

Well, you say that ... but Arctic and Antarctic ice both melt to produce fresh water, which is less dense than salt water. So when it melts, it does raise the sea level. Just not on a measurable scale worldwide, is all.

Arctic ice melt wont raise sea levels, it is floating. But ask yourself where the ice came from, and what happened to the salt when the sea froze?
If antarctica melts we are screwed, but since it would take a global rise of some 40C to do that, we would be screwed already, so wouldnt notice it.

FYI: I don't think density matters here... only volume.
After a while the densities will average out, but the volume will be a sum.

AI can create images based on pictures you are looking at
Wouldn't it be more efficient to eliminate the middleman, and let the AI look at the picture directly...?

The stunning, incredible, amazing thing is that a machine is capable of reading images from a BRAIN!!!!!
I am completely stunned by this, it is a massive breakthrough into understanding the brain.
I mean, HOLY CRAP!! This is big!

Calm down. We've heard these types of stories before.
The question you have to ask yourself is, what are the applications for this, other than Big Brother-ish types of scenarios?

I'm not sure that's always such a good idea.
Can you imagine if you had a machine drawing pictures based on all the things you stared at all day? Could require some awkward explanations.

I can imagine, and that would be awkward enough.

I had to wait for an hour outside a supermarket in a shopping centre north of Cairns this morning, an astonishingly pleasant exercise (remember I live in Singapore where Hooters only have legs). If an AI was going to draw something from what I was focused on it would probably be classed as soft porn.
I have since been told I am NOT allowed to hang around there and I am NOT to take my long rain coat with me.

I like it but was left confused; was T'Snik a Blob or a Yawn? My thought was that it was a Yawn but as both communicated with light-patterns, I couldn't be definite about which it was.

Hmm. Good feedback, thanks!
T'Snick is a blob - in the story he stifles a Yawn!
(did you get that it was meant to be footnotes? I'm not sure that came over in the presentation online - it may be better in a printed version)

Cool. The writing style reminds me of early Asimov, particularly the Encyclopedia Galactica excerpts in the Foundation trilogy, which interestingly enough appeared first as a short story too ([^])
|

|

Wow! Thanks.
Did you get that it was supposed to be footnotes? I don't think that came across?
The premise was that the entire first sentence of the story (T'snick stifled a yawn) was footnoted to extremes - but in the online version at least, the footnote references in the original sentence were missing!
T'snick1stifled a Yawn2
Then each of the footnotes had further footnotes...
Ah well... to remind you of Asimov is indeed a compliment!

Very good - spot on, and almost instant!

Hi All,
Testing a Widget and noticed the following bizzar behavoir, power everything on, gets stable, load config, load test script and run, no it wont work. Leave hardware on go for a coffee system starts working mysteriously. Next day same procedure system won't work until I have a coffee. Try different order repeatledly system starts working when I have a coffee. So, I am now confused it only works when I have why I cannont let this by (I mean I would love to write the manual, clag all bits together open a config file (not specific) run test scripts while making and consuming coffee for best results use Tassimo)
