>'prove' that someone is a person
They aren't, they are just making it more likely to the extent that every user doesn't have to try and prove it to every website.
This user provably logged into Facebook/Google/a bank I trust, so I won't ask for their passport+retinal scan+blood sample to browse el'reg
Coastline that isn't storm lashed desolate cliffs is likely occupied by the sort of houses that can afford lawyers to tie you up in environmental impact studies for centuries
Flat coastline with poor inhabitants that don't care about the environment and have access to offshore wind power. Sounds like Lincolnshire. Could Clacton become a center of AI ?
Assuming the overlap between el-reg and both Perun and theChieftain youtube channels is 100%, but if anyone hasn't seen Captured Russian Equipment in Ukraine
Texas extracts taxes from the personal capital of the working bourgeoise and uses that money to subsidise the oil business in the state.
California has tax loop-holes for billionaire VCs and their companies allowing them to exploit the excess productivity of their workers.
I believe a chap called Karl M. had definitions for these two systems
>From what I read, many of the rich AI bros are huge fans of this SF genre
I blame Roger Deakins, we used to have rainy Cyberpunk (to hide poor practical effects) now we get continual smog because it photographs beautifully
>From what I've heard, he's widely-mocked by many within Labour too, for shifting his principles and beliefs to suit his own career.
That's Labour's secret plan. Never have a leader that the Labour party members would allow as a leader.
It's the way in which they are Marxist, just Groucho not Karl.
All you have to do is appeal to Nazi Reform party members while keeping both the Hampstead labour party (Marxist-Leninist) and Hampstead labour party (Troskiest) happy. Fully support Israel and the USA while keeping Muslim voters.
Give pensioners everything they ask for and more and ensure house prices always go up while letting young people do better than their parents.
Invest to make Britain a powerhouse of global whatsit while reducing the deficit. Embrace next generation technology while building nothing anywhere near anybody
And all the while keep the Daily Mail and backbench MPs happy.
There are a lot of stupid reasons APT failed and all of them are a textbook of UK 70s industry.
But this story is about fun with unions
Even today there are railway commentators who think HS2 should only go ahead if all the construction is done in house by a new BR
That's the story of British Rail's Advanced Passenger Train. The unions were unhappy that it only had one driver and so there would be redundancies among the stokers.
So they refused to drive it. An engineer in the project moved the prototype back into the shop and all BR's drivers went on 48 hour strike that cost more than the entire APT project.
And that's why British railways have such excellent high speed trains and dominate the world's export markets.
No they are just brilliant tacticians. They noticed that countries that lose a war, Germany, Japan, Vietnam etc all bounce back and do really well while those on the winning side, USSR, UK, Italy do less well.
So their Brexit plan to effectively declare war on themselves and lose is just brilliant
Pocket sized drone to scout around corners and only $125,000/piece
It's impossible to do a lot of the driving that autonomous vehicles could do without breaking the law. There is no way to deliver to almost all restaurants / bars / small shops in the city without parking illegally.
In countries where the autonomous driving companies own the president you will have exceptions. In more "free-capitalism" jurisdictions it's going to be trickier, do the local Police / gangs have a QR code on the side of the robot delivery truck to receive their bribe / payoff ?
They built this 20years ago in California for one of the DARPA challenge autonomous vehicle things.
Prof. Sebastian Thrun was explaining the problem was the traffic laws didn't have error conditions. If somebody was parked and to go around them meant crossing a solid line then the law said you had to wait there forever until it was clear, or if there was a stop sign and you couldn't see if the road was clear from the position of stop sign you were trapped.
> where the construction workers are trying to direct traffic to
That's fine you can just ignore them as they aren't duly authorised traffic officers under the Traffic Management Act 2004
Had to do a test after they added a written exam.
Q: What 4 types people allowed to direct traffic ? (trick question - Traffic wardens aren't)
A: That's dumb, what about Fire Service, road construction etc.
No just those 4 types
Ok what about an Army checkpoint in N. Ireland? I'm supposed to just drive straight through because they aren't an authorised traffic officer ?
etc etc
I didn't do well in that class. Just like being in school.
