I once programmed a game of Snap when I was a kid, where I could set the reaction speed of the computer. I could still win it most of the time set on 100 ms, which amazes me knowing that Steven says it takes about 70 ms to process your vision alone.
Bearing your teeth at a monkey is a signal of aggression and really won't help matters. I had an encounter with a troop of wild capuchin monkeys in the Costa Rican mangroves, one even sat on my head. I kept my head down and avoided eye contact (as I tend to do as an autistic person anyway) and we pulled away unscathed. One monkey was acting very aggressively but fortunately didn't come too close, he took out his frustrations on the roof of the boat.
Because he's an irritating, overly posh twit who thinks he's more intelligent than he is because he says things confidently. He often gets things wrong and it is quite irksome, especially when he does it to correct others in a very patronising tone. He's a bit of a prat really
Stephen Fry made an error on weight in lifts. It is only while the lift is accelerating upwards that you feel heavier, but when the lift decelerates, you will feel lighter. Moving down, the opposite happens. When the lift accelerates down, you will feel lighter, but when it decelerates, moving down, you will feel hearvier. While the lift is at a constant velocity, there is no difference at all.
Fun fact, the turing test is considered obsolete now. The test is to have both a human and the AI have a text conversation and for a third person to try and guess who the human was. if the third person couldnt tell, the AI passed the test, but this doesnt tell us anything about the AIs level of understanding. Current chat systems emulate human writing without having any true level of understanding, by simply generating the most likely series of words. Its very good at it, so it can pass the test, but again, ot doesnt mean the AI thinks or understands anything other than data patterns.
So for any scientists if you had a piece of metal or something and apply heat and the object expands or in the opposite direction of lowering the temperature of it would it change the weight of the object at all? Also I had a friend who had those clap on clap off lights and he had to get rid of them because every time he and his girlfriend had sex his room would turn into a techno club and his girlfriend had that thing where flashing lights caused her to have a seizure.
did Stephen say machines haven't passed the Turing test? They certainly have. And if you've ever chatted with an Amazon helpdesk worker you'll find out there are people who don't even pass the Turing test.
It's true, and also the test is considered obsolete now, since current AI chat programs might be able to pass, but it doesn't gage the AIs intelligence at all. Current programs emulate human writing without having any true level of understanding, by simply generating the most likely series of words.
6:48~7:02 & exactly why Sarah would you thank a childish fantasy magic skyman as opposed to Planck the actual real person who an actual measurement is named after.
6:53~7:03 NO Sarah it's thanks to Planck, not a gullible only desired, nor the grotesque oppressive despots that use it. Because Planck existed, unlike any of the many childish fantasy magic skymen, past, present or future. gibber on dullards arrogant misogynistic evil nonsense . .
There is no record of wolves attacking people. But if I were going to trek in wolf country, I'd carry along some high protein dog snacks , well wrapped; to toss, should some come along.
Great idea hopefully you tried it & weren't full of toxic (to wolves) chemicals@the.time. Anyway if you did was it successful? No response is the best response in this sitch 🤞🤞🤞c'mon successful wolf hunt.
31:29 "When is the present?" it is a logic trap, because "now" only works at the very moment you say it, then its no longer valid... semantics... the battlegrounds of the so called *intelligent* people...
33:51 Once again, an untrue story. A chess computer would not play a game based on how it's opponent has been playing. How would it know that it's present opponent was the same person it had been playing against. And I don't know of any chess computer that would use this mode of play, no matter how weak it's opponent was.
I was swarmed by wasps once, and I had two thoughts: "AAGGHH!!!" and "RUN!!!" Holding my breath didn't feel like an option. They were nothing like killer bees of course. I wasn't even stung, and they let me go after running 200 m or so. (It felt like they followed me forever!) I had sat against a rock, covering the entrance to their nest (in a crack in the rock) for several minutes. I was wearing a leather jacket that apparently protected me from their stings while sitting and kept them sealed in as long as I sat there. When I moved though - they were like something from a horror movie. They were big, and there were hundreds of them at least. Clearly they just wanted to escort me away and admonish me not to block the entrance to their nest again, but to me is was The Swarm.
@nobody your "expertise" seems a little lacking, you know, lacking in facts and understanding of bees and what abilities they possess. Did ewe get told your ass ertion from a kiddy fiddler dressed in a dark robe or dress?and was it dribbling on about how a fictional magic skyman is your best friend? It's evident ewe can't distinguish between fantasy and reality.
I think one could violently fall backwards, throwing the legs up fast, and then roll over (all on soft ground outside), and so get away from a snake, without just "turning around" to run. I bet something like that would work. The snake would probably go for the legs, but they go up fast, too high and directly out of the way.
It's somewhat scripted here and there, maybe, but certainly not all of it. Otherwise they wouldn't have to edit together 30 or 45 minutes from 2 hours of filming.
19:00... Get back from saving children, relieving stress, etc. and 'Keep Still or Scarper Against your Boss(es)'... Or instead STOUTLY punch them in the nose as per Sarah's excellent suggestion!
Neither are "motions", whatever that's supposed to mean. Sound is just vibration, that's literally all there is to it; and our ears perceive those vibrations as audible sound. But sound itself isn't a physical object, it's just the result of one or more things vibrating, and we hear those frequencies. Light behaves as a wave as well in version circumstances, however unlike sound, light is also a particle. There any many unbelievable things that are difficult to truly understand about light and how it behaves in different environments & in various conditions, but I'll leave those experiments & explanations to the scientists. And even though light consists of particles (photons), you'd think it WOULD have mass, yet it doesn't. Light is just fucked, to put it delicately lol.
I'm regularly watching all QI episodes for a few years and I never came across this upload before. Also there wasn't any comment before yours, for over 5 years, and more than half of the views now are from the last two weeks, that's very odd. Maybe YT somehow didn't promote it because there's only this video on the channel ...and by some coincidence it came to the surface now.
