      Trading has been an issue for years, speed is kind. Billions is spent just on high speed links. AI or rather computer analytics is perfect for stock markets.

      I can see a near future where a pc runs a central bank or2. Once the second jumps on the wagon, they will all jump on board.

        Isn’t that what humans do every day ed. Best guess? Our brain is much like a cpu, when we go to take over another car, we quickly without knowing it, do some mighty complex equations, on closing speeds distances, and time etc then we use our gut/experiance to decide wether we should go.

        We as a whole, best guess all day long, based on learnings others gave us, and own experiance.

          It’s self learning in the way of the more and more photos that goes into the system then greater sample set it has, so the better it’s guess is.

          The same as we self learn by reading. What we don’t have yet is self thinking. I do think Google ‘ai’ does learn from wrong predictions, but just like humans it’s needs to be told it’s choice wrong.

          Alot of the capcha cards “pic all the photos with hills in” for eg. And Google has its own set up to quicken this called iirc  Google rewards, it wants people help in identifying similar pictures, like bears v dogs from differnt angles, and it makes games out of drawing games, ie seeing have many people draw the same objects. A bit like global pictionary.

           

          Also the AI should not kill … Isn’t from toms hardware it is one of Asimovs laws of robotics. Form about 1930. I think they borrowed it.

           

          Speedy the most dangerous time with grieving will be when we have AI and humans driving together. I love driving but we are the weak link. An AI can’t calculate for our stupid human decisions. In theory if all cars can talk to each other, and know what each each is doing, we could all drive nose to tale at 200mph up the M1, in perfect safety. Though motorways ate the simple bit.

          There is more and more smarts going into cars, and I can see it’s all going towards giving us some choice, in the medium term in if we want autonomous or not. However year on year, control will be taken off us bit by bit. To the point where the autonomous cars will get to override the non autonomous ones. Ie, you’ll go to make a lane change and your car will step in and say “not yet”. It’s only one step away from blind spot detection and lane keep, we already have.

            I’m waiting for the day when an AI car like tesla decids the life of the single middle aged man is less worthy than the family in the other car, so it takes the ‘best’ option to save the family vs the single middle age guy.

            Wow is responsible? The oem? Maybe, but what if ones a ford the other an opel, or is it the actual programmer? Or is it the AI, as it may be constantly “making decisions” on probability, but what happens when you through in self learning.

            I don’t wish for a death, but this day will come, and the court case following will have massive ramifications either way its decided.

            Google’s cloud has been selflearning image recognition for years now, and it’s now very good indeed.

            Ive said for a long time, the Terminator film was actually a documentary, sent back to worn us. Nar, give we all live in a sim, we’ll be ok. Actually are sim may be about to run it’s course anyhow.

            Let’s home the other sim on the servers nextdoor are doing better than ours.

                I wish I never offered now! With win 10, install of usb, auto authenticate, and drive hatch, I was expecting a 20 min job! Ffs.

                I should of checked before I opened my mouth.

                  I was hoping (expecting) the hp had an hdd access port at the side like the thinkpad and dell’s, one screw to hold them in.

                  I’m not putting the hdd back in the cd bay, 1. They don’t need the space, 2, that is the only dvd drive I have access too atm, and 3, I cba with the messing ?

                  It’s a much never cpu than on my current thinkpadx220 with ssd, so this will be a little cracker once the hdd is gone.

                    Just grabbed one for my SiL. As my BiL  has taken his laptop away with him and left an relativly new HP i5 laptop with an ssd at home. I was the other day as I couldn’t find my usb dvd and need one ASAP to rip files off a disk, (don’t ask)! and omg the boot to a usable desktop, as in a desk top that would let you do anythin, took ages.

                    I’m not messing just or it to notice the dvd must of taken 3mins or more from hitting go.

                    I was alone in the house that that time, but later in I mentioned it to the BiL wife, and she said, she doesn’t use it as it’s slow, I mentioned an ssd, and here we are.

                    I could of given her one of the two I have, but 1.i have plans, and 2 both are well out of any type of warranty. So for £23 I grabbed them one.

                        That’s crappy. I avoided my google now feeds and stuff like that, as I watched the C4 highlights.

                        Always a hard thing to do, with live sports. I actually missed the last lap, due to a call. But given the race was so good, I didn’t mind. Even if the second pair swapped places.

                        Thought it a great race indeed. Maybe a good season ahead.

                          I love that book ed, I love it’s done by a kid. Even though his grammar is way better them mine,bit I won’t hold it against him.

                          I love seeing kids with passion for something. Especially something that I’m interested in.

                           

                          Apologies to Dave for highjacking the thread, I have issues, lol. I’ll now now out and let you get back to NAS stuff.

                            Yes the Minecraft education ed programing is basically scratch. You just drag and drop small commands and link them together. It’s almost identical.

                            You can make chickens poop eggs that are on fire. What 10 year old isn’t going to love that. Lol.

                              The Liverpool echo and the mirror just reported that all 38 runners made it back to the stables. Saints was a bit shook up but ultimately fine.

                                I didn’t watch it, there was proper sport on at the time ? but I did get the wife to chuck a bet on BL. Cheers for that Lee!

                                  Lol, I reckon a nes will go down better in the classroom than a Nas. No offence Dave.

                                  Would be a good tool to get them in to 8bit programing with somthing like Scratch (think that’s its name), as all Mario is is sprites. You could build an approximation of Mario very easily with scratch.

                                  If it lights a fire in one kid, it’s worth the effort.

                                    Ive said it was off from day one. Both this poisoning and since the beginning of the Syria mess started. It’s all wrong, the narrative has so many holes in it.

                                    My BiL is now a civilian helicopter engineer, currently in Bagram, and he said the mood is tense. He has been to both Iraq and Afghan many times while in service, and he said the mood has never been like this.

                                    I suspect that’s cos before we was basically fighting men with rocks, now for the first time in a long long time, we could be entering into a fight with a foe that has just as much capability as we do. If not more. And the bases like he works on would be prime targets if it kicks off.

                                    I was never worried for him before, his job was never one that pun him in much danger. The worst he ever had was mortar drops, and that isn’t too bad. The probability of ingery is next to zero in that situation. Now one strike is one too many to survive.

                                    My wife and her mother haven’t figured this out yet, so at this point haven’t thought about it. I’m dreading them figuring this out. They are both big worriers. Thou atm the Mil brother has just died so their minds are elsewhere.

                                    The FiL has figured it out, we was speaking about it, and decided we just won’t mention the issue to the girls.

                                      Dave youre making my pi nes look dumb! Good work.

                                      I’m going to swap my pi 2 in to pi hole action, and put Thr pi 3 into nes action. I just received a nes pi case of eBay for £14 and it’s brilliant.

                                          I woke up in Liverpool and it was clod and damp, drove home and it was blue skies and 18. Spring is here.

                                          Hopefully.
