Re: Do you think robots will soon replace the military?

... But the human aspect of war has been slowly weened out ever since the advent of the firearm, and I believe that eventually, robots will replace the military, at least for the large part. You know what would be crazy... if the human aspect was eliminated completely and wars became like giant gam...

Re: Do you think robots will soon replace the military?

AI would never be able to think like an actual human being and tell things apart. I could get shot by a robot soldier from holding a pencil, or an ice cream cone, or some ordinary everyday object that a machine would mistake for a gun. The things you are describing here are all due to the programmi...

Re: Adventures in Game Development

By the way, guess what also had a PowerVR chip? The Sega Dreamcast. The iPhone and all of these nextgen handheld GPUs are built off of the DC's PowerVR2. I don't know much about GPUs as you can tell lol, but apparently you're a fan of PowerVR, since you're using the Dreamcast, that's why I mentione...

Re: Adventures in Game Development

The PSP is more powerful in terms of graphics /sound, processing, RAM, and storage capacity. Wrong. The DC's powerVR can do things that the PSP's GU couldn't dream of. Anti aliasing, bumpmapping, and a few other things to name a few. The Dreamcast also has about twice as much available VRAM as the ...

Re: Adventures in Game Development

Why not develop this game for the PSP? The homebrew PSP scene is quite large, much bigger than the Dreamcast's, and the modded PSP is also capable of running unsigned code. On top of that, it can run Lua (with the Lua Player) and C++. And wouldn't it be awesome to see your game running on a handhel...

Re: Re:

I don't believe anything can produce true randomness. Not even brains. That's nice. You're wrong though. The only thing known to be random in the universe is the position/momentum of particles on the quantum level, because of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. That's not even random. It just sta...

Re:

The human brain is not capable of randomness, everything it does is a result of what it has learned and the chemical and electrical interactions inside of it. Flipping a c...

Re: Simulating the Big Bang

There is no such thing as miniaturized big bang.. The big bang itself is something that happens on nuclear level.. Not some kind of bomb explosion.. :] That is not entirely true. Before and very soon after the Big Bang, there was no such thing as an atom, or nuclear force (strong or weak). It is be...

Re: CERN: Large Hadron Collider (LHC)

The energy required to generate a stable black hole would be enormous, many times greater than anything we've witnessed on Earth. The LHC doesn't have anything close to that. This is taken from the CERN site: "We say concentrations, because we are not talking about huge amounts but an enormous ...
