Starstuff

The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.

These are three of the biggest problems facing today's AI (From https://goo.gl/6wk4mf):
1. First you get the data, then you get the AI
2. Specialization is for insects — AI needs to be able to multitask

Jannie en sy foto

Jannie is in die Army. Een dag besluit die manne om bietjie te gaan swem, dis baie warm. Hulle is mos net 'n klomp manne, hulle swem sommer sonder klere. Iemand pluk 'n kamera uit en neem 'n paar fotos. Jannie se foto kom nogals goed uit en hy besluit om 'n foto vir sy ouma te stuur. Maar hy wil ook een vir sy meisie stuur. Nou hoe gemaak? Hy het net een foto. Jannie beraam 'n slim plan en sny die foto in twee. Die boonste deel pos hy aan sy meisie en die onderste deel vir sy ouma. Ouma kry uiteindelik die foto deur die pos, en dink by haar self nadat sy aandagtig die foto bekyk het, ''Nes Jannie is, sy hare is altyd deurmekaar en sy das hang skeef!''

Wat interessant is van hierdie ou klassieke grappie is dat my Pa dit altyd vir my vertel het as jong laaitie. Nou die oggend vertel ek dit vir Franko tydens brekvis voor skool. Daai selle middag vertel Barney Simon dit op Jakaranda FM terwyl Bella met die kinders van die skool af huis toe ry! Wat is die kans vir so toevalligheid?

Public cell phone talking...

After a tiring day, a commuter settled down in his train seat and closed his eyes. A young woman sat down next to him, and, as the train rolled out of the station, pulled out her cell phone and started talking in a loud voice, "Hi sweetheart. It's Sue. I'm on the train." "Yes, I know it's the six thirty and not the four thirty, but I had a long meeting." "No, honey, not with that Kevin from the accounting office. It was with the boss." "No sweetheart, you're the only one in my life." "Yes, I'm sure, cross my heart!" Fifteen minutes later, she was still talking loudly. The man sitting next to her had now had enough. He leaned over and said into the phone, "Sue, get off the damn phone and come back to bed." Sue no longer uses her cell phone in public
