Ugh. I hate the days when I wake up that early. I usually try to read myself back to sleep, but just about the time I get sleepy, it’s time to get up, anyway.
I’m hunting for a box for those books on Greece. I don’t think any of my priority boxes are the right size for them, but as soon as I can find something suitable, I’ll get them sent off to Patrick.
I took Kathleen for a walk around the block for a while. I’m planning to get some exercise other than housework! She seemed to enjoy being out in the fresh air - it’s 76 and mostly sunny this afternoon.
I think most babies like to go out for walks, if the weather is nice enough.
Yesterday, I wandered around for a while, but my heart wasn’t in much of anything. Today, all I want is to go to bed.
Feeling the wind blowing made her smile.
Awwww...:o])
It was cute.
I love babies!
I don't know how your robots, computers, or androids compare to mine, but this is not a matter of deviousness.
It's simple logic.
You've written about teleport systems, and the teleFRAG as a weapon. It's obvious enough that the two are related, and that eventually their relationship could be put to advantage. That's not the kind of thing a computer brain forgets.
My android did a lot of devious things. She kept her own purposes hidden, primarily because no one ever asked her.
To some degree, she was conducting experiments, and it would not have been proper, in this research, to contaminate the experiment by divulging things the subjects did not need to know.
You may think of it as deviousness, but computers by their nature do not volunteer information. Sometimes you have to pry it out of them with really intrusive devices.
Well, I based Eva and her actions in part off of what little I know of your robots.
Though I do admit that in both her incarnations she makes herself a ‘flesh shell’ that she ends up in.
But how she pulls off the snatch and grab I haven’t thought through yet.
And when the primary Eva finds out, I wonder how upset she’ll be.
why do you have caps in your names? i got tired addressing this with the spilt- finger-tpye technique
after two+ weeks of mris, trigger-point injections, debates over whether to operate on the shoulder or find and fix the nerve/neck issue first, and reading a little fr, i’m back home after today’s surgery and on fr.
had a nerve block so no post-surgery pain yet and shoulder and arm pain-free for first time since 12/29. will have to wear this ‘apparatus’ 24/7 for eight weeks, sleep upright in comfy chair for six weeks. looking at six months minimum with rehab and *then* addressing neck/nerve stuff.
took forever to type this one-handed. must practice.
will never look at a soccer ball the same way. then again, didn’t see this soccer ball at the time it would have been useful to see it. would have been better story with a meerkat and an andorran muffler salesman.
UNNGH.
Good to hear from you!
Continued luck with the rebuild!
You can skip use caps in a person name.
this was sent to scoutmaster.
taxchick;silentgypsy;monkeyface;darksheare;nicknamedbob;thomasthomas;scoutmaster
Above ping list copied exactly as is, and posted to the same.
You can skip caps, spaces, and hyphens. You do still need to use the right sequence of letters.
By the way, I wrote a poem about names.
thanks! i sent it to thomasthomas
That's flattering.
The odd thing about my robot evolution is that my story set a thousand years in the future has essentially no robots in it.
As to the more recent story-line, set maybe ten to twenty years from a now that started just a few years ago, the robot evolution proceeded this way:
Ruby was a computer program, charged with voice communications and their interpretations for about ten thousand people. It took a lot of computing power, and the heuristic algorithms were designed to "learn" by adaptation.A few instructive occurrences suggested to Ruby that tightening the feedback would help her evolution, although that's rather counter-intuitive for computer operations.
Also, because of limited throughput ability, Ruby set about designing some more advanced CPU chips, which used photons rather than electrons for signal processing and calculations.
Ultimately, this resulted in Pearl, an android with a human appearance and a crystalline brain. Pearl had all of Ruby's ability, and a great deal more. But what motivated both of them was the computer equivalent of curiosity.
Ruby had been charged to communicate, but to do that, she had to understand, and to understand, she had to emulate humans at various stages in their social and intellectual development.
With ten thousand people to observe and interact with, Ruby learned quickly.
For Pearl, it was even more important to observe closely and emulate precisely the behavior she saw around her. It was this determination that served as her goal and purpose. Compare this to Pinocchio's wish to be "a real boy".
Pearl's self-recognized failures to get along with people according to her own standards of success led her to create Jade, a smaller android with even more human characteristics and qualities. Jade was designed to be a companion, and that was her goal and purpose.
Except for her need to serve and be with someone, Jade was extremely autonomous for an android, requiring almost nothing of a support structure outside of her own capabilities.
She went, along with her companion, to the stars.
I’ll have to remember that we don’t need CAPS, although if people have underscores, we’re still stuck with those. It’s hard to type holding a baby, too.
If you were here, the Spanish Charistmatics could pray over you, but I’ll do the best I can from a distance. It worked for the Lord, after all!
Good morning, y’all!
Such an appropriate kitty photo, T-c!
Good to see you back, Scoutmaster!
You really gave it to them yesterday, Domestic Church, re: large families!
I was in the recliner with Kathleen at 5:00 this morning. The catz were fighting. They wanted me to let them outsite, but I was waiting for it to get light.
