Can any of the autonomous systems out there extrapolate from imperfect information input or is that a pipe dream. Extrapolation seems to be the key for many things humans do that are still out of reach of AI.

Why would anyone get a sex robot with wifi? The rule should be: Don't fap unless you air gap!

To live off of a 10x3' area for a year you would need to grow magic beans. I grew up with a decent size backyard which included area for veggies and an orchard, we also raised 20-30 chickens and 3-4 pigs every year and we didnt even have close to enough food to be self sustained.

Not only that, imagine a world with just a slightly different evolutionary path, where bacteria manages to break down ancient forests before they can turn into coal or something that prevents oil formation. Would an intelligent species even be able to kick of industrial revolution without those...

I am going to say something that could be very unpopular. Socialism can "work" but only in small communities that are not much bigger than Dunbar's number. That way all the members can track each others behaviors and shame the slackers into contributing. Unfortunately such communities would...

Lets face it, the Earthsim #312234259 if badly overdue for a hard reset. The memory overflow errors are threatening all the other instances of the sim in this cluster.

The problem with the Fermi paradox is that it is utterly arrogant. It makes unreasonable assumptions, like we would be able to recognize life that evolved on other planets at all, or that we would be able to observe a species with a vastly superior technology at all. Also our field of view is...

It might be the best hypothesis out there right now and it might even make sense on some level but but i did spend some time to try and get at least a bare understanding of quantum mechanics and i almost dislocated my brains. It is too esoteric and removed from the practical reality(for now)...

Oh you wanted science gobbledygook, i can do that. The quantum wave function is just the probability of a quantum state and it only collapses for an event once it in the past. What we call now (this exact moment) is the constantly ongoing collapse of the quantum wave function for everything...

You are talking Transwarp here arent ya? I have seen that show, you turn into a lizard eventually if you try it.

What does our planet have to offer to a species that conquered interstellar/intergalactic travel? Is there anything here that they cant get in a million different places all over the galaxy or even our solar system much easier and without having to deal with a bunch of insignificant apes who...

How do we know if Stephen Hawking wasn't a diversity hire?

The problem is that any system you the design will be gamed by people eventually. There is no way to make it bullet proof because we are smart apes and we like to game any system we encounter. If you put measures to catch those people they eat up some of the funding and will not be perfect...

Oh noes also no more this? Hello, My name is Napreet and i am calling from Microsoft support to let you know that we hare reports that your windows computer has a virus. Would you like to give me your credit card info so we can do the needful and fix it?

Of course you should treat anyone as an individual but to reveal any kind of trends you need to look at the populations at large. The problem is we need trends and generalizations to get through our day otherwise we would drown in information overload.

We are not talking about Median but average. Given how the intelligence distribution on a bell curve is pretty much the same for both groups and the significant population differences between jews and African Americans the chances of you picking a random a a smart jew are much higher than...

Trump isolationist? Wasnt everyone and i mean everyone bitching a few days ago about how Trumps dick measuring contest with NK is about to get you yanks stuck in another war? What exactly makes him an isolationist?

I would see your point about individual identity vs group identity if it wasnt for the fact that allot of people are starting to identify themselves( and others) solely based on the group they are in. Individuality is getting to be skin deep just as the mentioned tattoos and hair color which...

I am pretty sure they can still make babies. They may not like it bit the right kind of encouragement they are still able to do it.

I don't know why but this seems like a trick question!

Why in the fuck is this even a story, are they going to interview the local hobo who thinks the fridge box he is living in is possessed by Nixon next. What insights might the Nixon hobo box have on the Russia connection and what can we learn from a shopping car full of empty beer cans?

Every time I see someone with an outrageous hair color or collection of shitty tattoos pretending to be artsy i think: How desperate are you to be unique and stand out on the outside while on the inside you are just carbon copies of people you associate with? Its literally like you walked into a...

"Diversity is our strength." That phrase is laughable if your diversity is only skin deep. It is like having 100s of different colors of ice cream and they all taste like vanilla. The idea of diversity being a strength is having different points of view about any given situation that helps...

JFC, if you are gonna post gore at least put it in spoilers. My Penis just turtled!

People are very stupid on their own but a possibility of a large audience turns the Stewpid knob up to 11.9. Wasnt there a story about some idiot couple where the girl shot her boyfriend with a desert freaking eagle through a phone book? Where does one even find a phone book in 2017? Every time...

At least they are still using water. Lets hope they dont learn about the Acid challenge sweeping lesser britain right now.

I usually dont like watching videos of people doing stupid shit but i just watched one of those and jeezus. Retarded doesn't even begin to cover that. I knew not to fuck around with boiling water when i was 6 and i would never even think about throwing it on my brother. Faith in humanity -10

As long as the cash can only be redeemed by the winner in person!

I dont think it qualifies for the "nano" specification either but thats just nitpicking.

Time to start a sperm equality movement. Even decrepit sperm deserve some egg action. They should have a slogan, something like :We make your baby really special!

This smells like fake news to me.

The dipshit deserves all the hate he is getting. He attempted to score some virtue signal points and published something that should have been kept between him and his girl on a public forum. What in fucks sake was he expecting? An attaboy and cookie? The professionally outraged brigade snapped...

Does it stand for "Grease in Naphtaline" because that's how it tastes like?

What a bunch of fajjots! I dont know why but every time i hear someone pronounce it as jiff, i want to grab them by their throat and demand that they take it back! That is where i spend all my self control at.

The first thing that popped into my mind is someone duct taping a kitchen knife and a little speaker playing the Psycho shower scene music on a loop onto this thing and recording the resulting lulz! Yeah i know its twisted but its the only brain i have!

What a nonsense article. First , researchers in china! I am going to be a bit skeptical right from the start until this thing is being replicated in other places in the world. Second, quantum teleportation and sci-fi teleportation have pretty much only the spelling in common. Third, 900 cases...

From Sci-Fi books i read they need to figure out how to replace Telomeres in cells, with every cell division they get shorter and this contributes to organ deterioration. A stem cell injection helps if those stem cells change into organ cells with fresh telomeres. Simple as that!

Great news! Because FUCK cancer right in the earhole!

This tread is new and exciting, share that popcorn Chuk!

https://phys.org/news/2017-06-gravitational-insight-black-holes.html Scientist detect grav waves for the third time, i hope they can start fine tuning the detection equipment so they no longer have to relly on suppermassive objects any more.
