Artificial and natural knowledge researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have IQ-tested one of the best available artificial intelligence systems to see how intelligent it really is. Turns out it's about as smart as the average 4-year-old, they will report July 17 at the U.S. Artificial Intelligence Conference in Bellevue, Wash.
Sante have a look at this ... Daniel is the TU researcher who did the study I was sending you a few years ago with Luzi - very nice and smart guy ....
Luzi: now you will have difficulties in shooting :-)
he panel finds the 2005 order to find 90% of Earth-threatening asteroids 460 feet or larger infeasible,
No method for diverting asteroids has been experimentally demonstrated
Options include a "gravity tractor" orbiting slow-moving objects and tugging them off course with tidal tugs, a "kinetic" impact of a heavy spacecraft into an asteroid, or a nuclear explosion
- Smart Tractors?!?!?
- "Guidance systems are enablers," said Mr James. "Farmers buy them with one job in mind and then realise they can use it for lots more."
From the minds behind programming Q&A site StackOverflow comes Super User, the smart, simple way to get answers to geeky questions about computer hardware and software. Last fall, ...
Microspheres can behave as a smart material controllable through an external magnetic field. Owing to the transparency, biocompatibility and nontoxicity of PDMS, the magnetically responsive elastic microspheres may have potential applications in drug deli
A really cool and powerful tool for creating flow diagrams. I particularly like the layout organising algorithms, really nifty. Anyway, it's installed on the smart board computer now and maybe you'd all like it on your computers too.
