I just heard they are less than two years from stem cell stimulation to make hair grow again on guys with MPB.
An aritificial pancreas would be nice.

I do miss my hair. OTOH, I do like me current low maintenance hairdo.

Liability. My other half worked at target where corporate says crooks and workers are safety are their main priority. Thieves are smart where they hire team of underage kids to steal, when caught they can’t be held without adult and must be released and weak police policy. In reality they will stark jacking people at their car.

In Denver, we've seen a few groups of teens graduate to violent car jacking. Complete with ARs & Glocks & pistol whippings. It's a logical progression, retail theft only goes so far. The started targeting high end cars.

If it's good enough for schools, then it good enough for retail sales.

We don't even need to go that far...the expense of armed security shouldn't be put on the owner when there's voted on law in place that can remedy the problem...

Already did it, child. And you already claimed it was all a lie.

You asking me to do it again so you can claim it’s a lie again? Not happening kid.

5x7s? 6x9s? Nope. Never installed a set of either. My very first “install” was at 14 y.o. - 6.5” round Kracos in the doors of my ‘66 El Camino with a 327 and 3 on the floor.

Tell us about your “builds”. The ones where you put in a head unit in a factory location with a cheater harness. The ones with internally bridged mono amps with multiple outputs. Did they have linear taper and audio taper potentiometers that did the exact same thing? Did you use them from your guitar manufacturing skills (the ones where you know more about guitars than Les Paul)?

Keep failing, kid. You’re out of your depth on most any subject brought up here, and you insist on proving it over and over again. And then you get all wound up and triggered like a little child, stomping your virtual feet, demanding your way.
You even say "period" at the end of sentences to prove that you are right and no argument is going to change that.

It might be be funny if you weren't 48 years old. That just makes it pathetic.

You had to edit this post and still stuttered while you typed? Nobody is going to take you seriously when you can't even type without messing up. That is just an obvious screw up and you just left it there. How do you not have a grasp on reading and writing at your advanced age??? Good job Sally.

First build I assisted on was in an 89 Cavalier Z24 in 1991. 4 Orion 12's in an isobaric enclosure, 2 RF 10's in a sealed enclosure, RF 4" mids, RF Tweeters, Jensen 3 way 6x9's, Linear Power amplifiers and no back seat.

I love your "keep failing, kid" remarks and cute sarcastic comments about things I never claimed. What's that say about your character? What it says to me is you are a classless bum.

we drive ON the road. The road is not a part of the car, and is not necessary for the car to operate.

Software is run on computers, and computers do nothing without software.

But since you think AI has nothing to do with computers...

Don't you mean we drive in the road?

You apparently can't see the difference between a simple or complex piece of coding and actual machine learning...and you're supposed to be the smart guy

Said no one ever!!

This is a ~2000 year old mechanical computer that supposedly help predict when floods would happen for planting crops, or at least that’s one of the theories.

Scientists unlock mysteries of world's oldest 'computer'

The 2,000-year-old mechanism has baffled experts since it was discovered on a shipwreck in 1901.

I don't think he quite understands that a computer and AI are not the same thing or that a computer does not need AI to be a computer. All A.I. is, are software programs that are written to do one thing or another based on a specific parameter. If this equals this then do this. If this does not equal this then do this. That is all A.I. is to varying degrees of complexity. It is not smart, not alive, not intelligent. It is computer software code that has been written to follow rules. When it can no longer follow the rules it will fail.

AI is complex, because there’s different types, and there’s also machine learning. There’s also “thinking” AI, and that scares me, especially if you have a rogue AI that can think to “create” and has access to anything hooked up to the internet. Once AI gets to use a high qubit quantum computer and break all encryption, it’s game over man! Lol

Police robots:

NYPD reboots cyborg police dog after backlash and, again, civil rights advocates warn against high-tech hound

NEW YORK — Digidog, the NYPD robot pooch, is back and department leaders promise it’s not the dystopian surveillance nightmare it was made out to be the first time New Yorkers got a look at it. Two years after the $74,000 robot canine program landed the NYPD in the doghouse with civil rights...

Since the road doesn’t enclose us or our car, that would be a no.

Find me some AI that runs without a computer.
Find me a computer that runs without AI (by the strict definition, all software is AI).

And AI is capable of more than just “follow rules”. It can actually take new information and use it to adapt and change. It’s not living or sentient, but it can certainly become more than it was originally programmed to be.

A calculator is AI, but will never adapt to your style of data entry nor be able to predict what you are going to enter on it, as opposed to ChatGTP that is learning and changing and adapting to be more like a human in conversation. Or AI that rewrites and modifies it’s own code to be better.

It’s why it’s called “Artificial Intelligence” as opposed to just “software”.

In my neck of the woods we lost many cops and it's tough to find new ones.
