I was starting to think i was the only one who thought technology will be our undoing. As technology is going in a a few hundred years the human species will become irrelevant and the Artificial intelligence that we created will dominate the world applying its own agenda for being and i'm sure whatever the computers is it wont include us..
Solution better start happening soon as once the Artificial intelligence is "born" it will realize it already controls a world wide network and there will be no stopping it at that point/.
I think severe laws should be enacted prohibiting any effort at attempting to manufacture an artificial intelligence.
If Stephen Hawking says something, are we all supposed to assume that it must be true?
The linked article is just a series of paragraphs repeating the same warning in different words, but never goes on to explain how or why this dire outcome will be irreversible. Hawking has become a hack contributor to op-ed publications.
It's not like a self-driving car will be equipped with an arm that will reach through your bedroom window and drag you out into the passenger seat at unpredictable times and take you to a destination over which you have no control and then eject you to sit there and wait until another driverless car arrives to take you somewhere else.. Somehow, man will resist the temptation to allow driverless cars to achieve that authority, without the necessity for a Stephen Hawking's unchallenged wisdom to come along and warn us about it..

I have been discussing this on Facebook and while I admire Stephen Hawking a lot he is completely wrong here. Its almost like he is over thinking the issue. First he contradicts himself a lot and second AI will not increase in a vacuum as we will merge with the technology as well so AI will never be smarter then we are. In fact from what I have studied everything will happen around 2030 as by 2029 AI will be as intelligent as a un-aided human and by 2030 AI will be more intelligent. However, also, by 2030 computers the size of blood cells will be thousands of times more powerful then Google glass today and we will have millions if not billions of them is us augmenting our intelligence. That will allow us to advance just as fast as the AI so it will not be this lopsided future he predicts.
AI will make it necessary for humans to merge with technology and that will happen in 16 years not hundreds. So in a way your are right as AI will be one reason humans will have to change because we will not be able to survive if we do not.
We already have that ability, jambo, but implants are problematic medically. Read The Future of the Mind by Michio Kaku.
We're MUCH further along with the technology than most people think. Good book.
He's not behind the times - he's still making active contributions to physics, still publishing. You can't do that without knowing a thing or two about computation which is so important in testing hypotheses.
He's right about the dangers of artificial intelligence ...... what use would a computer which is a million times more brainy than a human have for people, if it has robots to carry out its mining and manufacturing?
We're within a few decades of simulating or improving a human brain's thought processes ...... what's to stop it from becoming ever more efficient as it re-designs itself more quickly than it was designed? Or simply to expand itself a million times, and link the subunits.

Q: is it ok to access subviews of uiviews I have seen many bright ideas to massage views and controls into looking exactly the way we want them, some of them listed here on SO:

*

*Transparent UISearchBar: iPad/iPhone uiSearchbar transparent background

*Different colored UISegmentedControl: UISegmentedControl selected segment color
I was wondering, is this legal? There seems to be some element of hackery involved whenever someone hardcodes something like [[view subviews] objectAtIndex:0], but it seems to be done everywhere...can someone comment on this and perhaps give some perspectives? Is it ok by the rule books? Has anyone released production code like this and has it been accepted by apple?

A: It's exposed as part of the API, therefore it's legal. Ive done it on an application currently in the App Store, and I know others have done the same.

A: Just about every good looking app has done this and been approved just fine.  When you make the decision to do so, just be prepared for a new version of iOS that may break what you are doing and be ready to release an update immediately

A: Just because you are able to do something, doesn't mean it's appropriate in all places. The abilitiy to access the subviews of a view is necessary in some situations, however I would be apprehensive about relying on a particular UIView being at a specific position in the hierarchy for components that you do not maintain. There is no guarantee that a specific subview will always be the zeroth subview in future versions of the sdk.
If this is the only way to do it then you may not have another choice, but remember that it is a fragile part of your app and should be well tested for every sdk release on all platforms.

And technically, you don't even really need watercolors! Most water based pigments will provide similar results.
Hello, my Graphics Fairy Friends! Heather from Thicketworks, here.
Today, let's play with our food!
This process is very playful, and requires few supplies.
Begin by adding a wash of water based pigment to a piece of watercolor paper.
I'm using Water Soluble Oil Pastels, but any watercolors will work beautifully.
To create a gradient wash, begin by adding a light color along one edge, varying the intensity of coverage.
Add a related light color, blending it with the first.
Next, add areas of a contrasting color, being careful to create solid blocks of color.
Finish by adding deepening tones as you progress up the paper.
A light to dark gradient works nicely for this technique.
To blend the colors, apply smooth horizontal strokes with a wet, soft round brush.
Clean the brush as often as necessary to prevent over blending the colors.
I like to further soften the effect by gently stroking a baby wipe over the surface – again, in a horizontal pattern.
When you are happy with the blending, spritz the surface of the paper, leaving a generous sheen of water.
For varying effects, add a bit of Red Sea finishing salt.
Apply more water to the surface.
For subtle gleam, spray a shimmery mist over the top.
The tiny particles of mica will gather around the salt granules, resulting in tiny halos of shimmer!
Leave the surface undisturbed until it has dried completely – overnight is best.
When the paper is bone dry, gently rub away the remaining loose crystals with your fingertips.
This close up shows the varying intensity of the salt effects, and the slight staining from the Red Sea Salt.
This technique is unpredictable, and creates lovely organic patterning.
Of course, you can also use them to enhance scrapbook layouts, to add delicious layers to cards, as part of an Art Journal Page…there are no rules, and no limits!
I hope you find time to experiment with this technique – the results are fascinating!

Soo sad I vant getsold of your stuff for creating in Sweden !!!! Its all beautiful !
Holy cow!! You have elevated a simple salt technique to a whole new level of elegance!! The colors you chose are just gorgeous! I bought those pastels just because of your recommendation and I love them. You are not only a born artist but a born teacher! I love your detailed instructions that are so easy to follow, you don't miss a beat! The last pic is so drool worthy. Please share more of it (and may I greedily ask you to show us how you used this salted paper to make that amazing mixed media art?) Thank you, thank you!! PS: I noticed that you have beautified your salt shaker too lol! Gorgeous!!
Rupa! Hello my friend… this is such a simple technique, but it's SO darn fun. I just love the kind of thing where you add a bit of this and that, then wait for the magic to happen.
So typical of you to notice my funny Salt Shaker embellishment…you don't miss ANYTHING! And you may indeed ask about the little Mixed Media canvas – in fact, there's a link to a detailed tutorial right at the bottom of the post.
This is awesome! I never thought to use salt with water soluable oils.
Such a gorgeous effect Heather , I tried it once, but totally forgot about it, so thank you for this beautiful reminder ,I really have to try it ,I guess it could be on all kind of color surfaces.
Have you ever used this on fabric? I'm not a paper crafter & would not want to purchase the colors if I could not use this technique on cloth for embroidery. It may have many uses in embroidery if the cloth takes the treatment well.
"Hi Miss Heather, You are so so Clever"!?, I Love watching your Tutorials each week"! I've lots of different Papers and Card Pieces, and look forward too Making something with different with them, I do lots of different Crafts, and it will be nice too do some like these for a change"!, Thank You"!
This looks so cool! I have seen salt techniques before where it just left a little dot of white under the color. But this is elevated to a much higher degree. Thanks for the info.
Thanks so much Theresa! As always, Heather delivers amazing ideas and techniques!
Thank you sooo much for an incredibly detailed and wonderful technique How-To class!!
Thanks so much, you are so kind. We are just thrilled you are enjoying everything!

How Musicians Can Benefit From Chiropractic
Posted on 03.13.19 |
Musicians put their bodies through a lot. They practice for hours a day and, depending on the instrument played, engage certain parts of their bodies in repetitive type motions for long periods of time.
For instance, a pianist will sit or stand at a piano or keyboard, often in the same position for hours. A clarinet player must keep their head, neck, and jaw in a precise position in order to play properly. A guitarist must sit for long periods while holding the guitar in a certain position while moving their fingers over the frets in a very precise manner.
It's no wonder that many musicians complain of headaches, migraines, carpal tunnel, clicking jaw, numbness in the fingers, and back and neck pain!
Some of this pain can be debilitating and make it more difficult for them to perform their normal activities. Many live with chronic pain.
There was a time when these conditions were considered to be just a part of playing an instrument and the musician would push through the pain. However, may are turning to chiropractic and are enjoying not only a pain free life, but improved performance as well.
How Playing an Instrument Affects a Musician's Body
Some doctors liken musicians to athletes – instrumental athletes. They do have very similar practices such as practicing for hours a day so that they can perfect their abilities and skills. And like athletes, they also experience certain break downs within the body.
Posture is a common malady as the musician may stand or sit a certain way in order to play their instrument. This prolonged activity can lead to imbalances in the spine, pelvis, and other parts of the body.
When the body is not in balance, it cannot function as it should. Organs are affected and other the body may try to make accommodations for the imbalance which only exacerbates the problem.
This is further compounded each time the musician plays their instrument because by doing so they are consistently underworking and overworking certain muscles. This can lead to further imbalance.
The muscles that are worked, the ones used to play the instrument, get shorter, tighter, and stronger as scar tissue forms. By contrast, the underworked muscle groups stay underdeveloped and get weak. This muscular imbalance puts a great deal of stress on the spin and other joints in the body like the fingers, wrists, and elbows
They may also experience Repetitive Strain Injury, or RSI. This condition is often quite painful and is concentrated in the soft tissues, nerves, tendons, and muscles.
These areas may become painful or inflamed when put under repetitive activities, pressing against hard surfaces, vibrations, awkward sustained positions, and forceful exertions. This causes the body to become out of alignment but also impacts the function of the skeletal system, nervous system, and muscular system.
Chiropractors for Musicians
Chiropractors are very good for musicians because the can assess misalignments in their spine and make adjustments. When proper original alignment is stored to the body, it begins to function properly. This leads to a decrease in pain and other symptoms that may be experience due to the long hours of playing an instrument.
Musicians also benefit from chiropractic because it can make them better at what they do. When the pain is decreased or eliminated and the other symptoms are relieved, it is easier to play.
When the spine is in proper alignment and the body is balanced, the musician will experience a boost in energy, their muscles will not fatigue as quickly, and their muscles will be more relaxed. With all those benefits, it's no wonder that chiropractors and musicians make beautiful music together.

Trailer for the E Book Meg:Origins
Posted on 26 October 2011 by TH3 No08
The on again, off again shark book that could have been a shark movie Meg is getting a prequel that looks to be only in E Book form. I really dug this book when I first read it back in the 90′s but I've never been really shocked that it's not been able to be made into a movie. The ending is pretty far fetched and to do the story right would probably cost about 200 million dollars. Check out the trailer below and head over to his website to pick it up for only .99 cents.

Full Trailer for 11-11-11
Here's the full trailer for Darren Boueman's upcoming film 11-11-11. While not as weird and creepy as the original teasers, it's still pretty crazy. Be sure to check it out when it hit's theaters and tell us what you think of it below.
Here's the Synopsis:
After the tragic death of his wife and child, famed American author Joseph Crone travels from the United States to Barcelona, Spain, to reunite with his estranged brother, Samuel, and dying father, Richard. However, fate has a different plan for Joseph as his life becomes plagued with strange happenings and the constant sightings of the number 11. Curiosity quickly turns to obsession, and Joseph soon realizes that this number holds a horrific meaning not only to himself but possibly to all of religion. Isolated in a foreign country with only the support of his companion, Sadie, Joseph soon realizes that 11/11/11 is more than just a date; it's a WARNING!
The film stars Timothy Gibbs, Michael Landes, Wendy Glenn, Lluis Soler,

Bryan Singer's Excalibur Is No More
Posted on 17 October 2011 by Christian
The X-Men director's planned remake of John Boorman's take on Arthurian legend has been shelved. Singer speaks to SFX all about it and reveals that plans for his Battlestar Galactica movie are still on.
As you may or may not know, Bryan Singer was developing a take on the Excalibur legend which was said to be a loose remake of the 1981 John Boorman movie of the same name. That film is considered a classic by many and while I am a fan of it there is no doubt that it has not aged well. So I was looking forward to seeing a new version of the story. Unfortunately it won't be happening, at least not in the foreseeable future and not with Warner Bros and not with Bryan Singer at the helm. The director spoke to SFX at their annual Sitges Film Festival..

The first two books in The Strain Trilogy were a bit hit or miss for me. I enjoyed the concept behind the two but at times it seemed a bit formulaic. That being said I look forward to seeing how the third book in the series "The Night Eternal" wraps up the story. Pick it up when it hits stores on 10-25-2011 and check out the synopsis below.

Darren Bousman has a bit of a spotty track record with me.

Michael Beihn stars in The Divide
I'm a sucker for end of the world / post apocolyptic movies and this one looks right up my alley. Michael Beihn is back to star in this dark tale of a group of survivors locked in the basement of apartment building who must struggle to survive. Early reviews are saying this film is super intense and very dark. Looks promising.
When a cataclysmic explosion devastates New York, eight strangers take refuge in the basement of their apartment building, a converted fallout shelter designed by their paranoid superintendent Mickey. With just three connecting rooms it's barely big enough, but with stockpiles of food and water, the group are at least safe from the horrors outside, and they settle in and attempt to fathom the catastrophe that has ended the lives of so many of their loved ones.
With twists and turns throughout, and no way of knowing who will make it out alive, THE DIVIDE is an action packed psychological thriller that combines 'Assault on Precinct 13′ with 'Lord of the Flies'. To survive the end of the world, you first must survive each other…

Is This The First Look at GODZILLA?
Legendary Pictures is rebooting GODZILLA with Gareth Edwards (Monsters) to direct and David Goyer (Batman Begins) is writing the screenplay. But will the powerful monster be CGI or a man in a rubber suit?
Last time Godzilla got the Hollywood treatment was in 1998 when Roland Emmerich (Independence Day) and SONY created a film that hardly resembled anything that fans were accustomed to. The star, Godzilla looked nothing like he usually does. Is as though they took the name Godzilla and slapped a Jurassic Park look to the film.
As for the reboot that Legendary Pictures is working on, infamouskidd's source is reporting that creature sculptor, Hector Arce's design of Godzilla is the blueprint. Even more exciting is that Legendary is rumored to be going with a rubber suited Godzilla instead of all CGI creation. How great is that?
Our source in the know on the new look of Godzilla sent us off in the direction of Hector A. Arce, a creature/fantasy sculptor, who we

Take a look at this trailer for the independent superhero film, Vs. featuring Jason Frost, James Remar (Dexter) and Lucas Till (X-Men: First Class).
The film is described as, "Kick-Ass meets Saw, and follows "four superheroes that find themselves abducted by their arch nemesis and are forced to compete in a series of challenges in order to save an abandoned town full of kidnapped innocent civilians.".
James Remar ("Dexter") and Lucas Till (X-Men: First Class) star.
I have to say that's an excellent premise. Imagine your favorite DC or Marvel superheroes put in a similar situation and you'd probably have a smash hit on your hands.
Also, be sure to check out the indy film I posted yesterday featuring another X-Men: First Class Star, Jason Flemyng. This one was absolutely superb!

New Mortal Kombat Movie In The Works; Kevin Tancharoen To Direct!
Posted on 30 September 2011 by Christian
Warner Bros. and New Line are moving forward with new Mortal Kombat film. Director Kevin Tancharoen, who worked on the popular web-series Mortal Kombat: Legacy, will finally get a chance to make the full-length feature film…
Kevin Tancharoen already expressed his big interest in Mortal Kombat universe, first by making that short film Mortal Kombat: Rebirth and then by directing a web-series with popular characters. Well, it seems all that work paid off, because Warner Bros. and New Line are moving forward with the reboot and they hired Tancharoen to direct.
From The Hollywood Reporter:
"Mortal Kombat is heading back to the big-screen.
New Line is hiring the filmmakers of the popular Mortal Kombat digital series, made earlier this year by corporate sibling Warner Bros. Digital Distribution, to take on a new adaptation of the classic 1990s fighting game. There is no actor attached and the new story will not serve as an extension of the game of digital series."
Below is the short film he directed:


NAC2015 is one of Noliac's plate actuators, which can be stacked according to customers' needs. Noliac's plate stacks are typically used when a medium displacement at high force is required. Noliac's plate stacks are stacks of cofired monolithic piezoelectric low voltage actuators that convert an electrical input to a very high-resolution linear movement at high force.
Noliac's plates are manufactured with ceramic layer thickness down to 20 µm as standard in order to allow very low operating voltage for full performance of the piezo material. Noliac's plate stacks are mostly made to customer specifications, but a wide range of parts is available from stock as well.
The figure below shows the typical outline of NAC Plate Actuator Stacks.


Orthopaedic Urgent Care NOW OPEN in Brier Creek!
EmergeOrtho operates OUCH: Orthopaedic Urgent Care Health Centers at ten locations.
When discomfort hits, we often seek help from the Emergency Room (ER). However, the ER frequently causes other disturbances, such as long waits, exposure to others' conditions, and a sequence of referrals one must follow before reaching specialized care.
Fortunately, EmergeOrtho OUCH Centers offer a less expensive, less stressful alternative to the ER. At these nine clinics, patients can access care and insight from specialists after normal business hours as well as on weekends, and the good news is the process is more prompt, efficient and affordable than one might think. In fact, patients are accepted on a walk-in basis and are typically seen in less than one hour. Moreover, the billing practices are tightly controlled; contrary to ER visits, the highest copay tier is not imposed at OUCH center visits. If a patient has a copay, he or she will simply pay the specialist co-pay.
Furthermore, providers may perform minor surgeries related to broken bones, dislocated shoulders and elbows, removal of foreign bodies, tendon repairs, among others.
The OUCH centers were established with two major goals: the provision of accessibility to care and improved responsiveness to patients' emergent orthopaedic needs. As we meet these objectives on a daily basis, the compassion and success of these OUCH centers shine throughout the community.


A British Airways flight from London, destined for Dusseldorf in Germany, missed the runway by 850km after the incorrect papers were submitted — and landed in Edinburgh by mistake.
Passengers were dumbfounded and understandably irate after their plane landed and the captain welcomed them all "to Edinburgh", the New Zealand Herald reported.
The British Airways flight had flown for an hour and 10 minutes in the wrong direction before landing at the wrong airport — apparently unaware of their passengers' expectations.
"We have apologised to customers for this interruption to their journey and will be contacting them all individually," British Airways said in a statement.
The German airline said it was "working closely with the authorities to investigate how the obviously unfortunate mix-up of flight schedules could occur".
It seems highly unusual that an announcement wasn't made by the crew — informing passengers of the weather and arrival time for their destination.
Perhaps the passengers might have dismissed an odd initial announcement as a mistake, as they weren't expecting the pilots to follow through with their flight to Edinburgh.
Passenger and Twitter user Son Tran was unamused by British Airways' "mystery travel lottery", although he admitted it "feels like an honest mistake" after talking to the cabin crew.
