You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5053 | I was always told that dogs don't see color at all, but live in a visual world similar to black and white TV. That may have been all that was known back in the day, but at least now we know that is not exactly correct. What is still correct, I think, is that smell is as important as vision to a dog. The article says they are near-sighted but pick up motion well. And our superiority in vision such as it is only applies in the daytime, dogs see much better at night than we do . from https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/do-dogs-see-color I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18629 | Researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh have constructed an AI-powered robot trained to kill pesky cockroaches with a deadly laser. While the engineers behind the machine say that their invention could be used to target a variety of unwanted bugs, they believe roaches are the ideal test subject. "If you can kill them," Ildar Rakhmatulin, the project's lead, told New Scientist, "you can kill any pests." Here's how it works. The device, which is comprised of a tiny computer, two cameras, and a 1,600 milliwatt laser, uses "machine vision" to hunt its prey. While trials thus far have been promising — the device can only barely keep up with the roaches— the researchers say there's some room for improvement. Next steps, they told New Scientist, are training the robot to hit the insects' specific body parts, specifically their abdomens, in order to ensure their defeat. Better safe than sorry. It can cause eye injuries, so it’s not exactly completely safe. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
