Suggest picking a date and calling it AI Free Day. Perhaps (A)ugust first(I) would be fitting.


Does Canada have an "Amber Alert" or something similar?


Yes, much of the world supports them now - specifically in North America; Amber alerts originating in any of the 3 countries with flight-risk can change CA-US, US-MX border protocols https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_alert


If Tesla is partially responsible for this fatal accident, who or what else was ruled as contributing to the crash?


Well, I dont think anyone else contributed a system called "autopilot."


And yet Tesla was only found 33% accountable, so the presence of "autopilot" was only 1/3 of the cause.


The article is clear. The driver bore the rest of the responsibility.


I'd guess the driver since he was using his phone, then dropped it and was scrambling to pick it up when the accident happened.


"The Challenge" ("Vyzov" in Russian), is a 2023 space drama film shot on the International Space Station. It's the first feature-length film with actors shot in space. According to its IMDB page, the movie follows a surgeon who flies to the ISS to save a cosmonaut who suffers a heart attack.

Hurricane Helene Victims But Now They've Received Approval


On the topic of toothpaste, I developed a reaction to SLS - Sodium Laurel Sulfate. That's when I switched to Sensodyne, because it doesn't contain SLS. For awhile, Sensodyne was a problem and I began using Baking Soda. Then returned to Sensodyne after a few weeks.

Before this sensitivity, someone asked if I whitened my teeth because they were whiter. Using an electric toothbrush changed the color of my teeth for the better.

A Water-Pik helps the gums rejuvenate as does flossing.


SLS - as well as being the thing that makes orange juice taste rank after you've brushed your teeth - also gives me huge mouth ulcers (canker sores). Sensodyne has been amazing for this.

Someone also mentioned a water pik is great for tonsililiths too.


CBC - Complete Blood Count is a common, routine test that detects anemia. https://www.healthline.com/health/anemia/anemia-blood-test#b...


The two species variation sounds interesting. If you don't mind, please post more about it including the three matrices. Thanks in advance.


Consider the following:

                            Cell is currently:

          Empty                   Type 1              Type 2
   T 7 | .                 7 | .                7 | . 
   y 6 | . .               6 | . .              6 | . . 
   p 5 | . . .             5 | . . .            5 | . . .  
   e 4 | . . . .           4 | . . . .          4 | . . . .  
     3 | . . . . .         3 | . . . . .        3 | . . . . .  
   1 2 | . . . . . .       2 | . . . . . .      2 | . . . . . . 
     1 | . . . . . . .     1 | . . . . . . .    1 | . . . . . . . 
     0 | . . . . . . . .   0 | . . . . . . . .  0 | . . . . . . . .
       +-----------------    +-----------------   +-----------------
         0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7       0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7      0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
        Type 2
For each cell, it can be one of empty, type 1, or type 2. In the matrix you specify what the next step is given 0 - 7 type 1 neighbors and 0 - 7 type 2 neighbors, the 'classic' rules would be (only one type):

          Empty                   Type 1              Type 2
   T 7 | E .               7 | E .              7 | .  
   y 6 | E .               6 | E .              6 | . . 
   p 5 | E . .             5 | E . .            5 | . . . 
   e 4 | E . . .           4 | 1 . . .          4 | . . . . 
     3 | 1 . . . .         3 | 1 . . . .        3 | . . . . . 
   1 2 | E . . . . .       2 | E . . . . .      2 | . . . . . . 
     1 | E . . . . . .     1 | E . . . . . .    1 | . . . . . . . 
     0 | E . . . . . . .   0 | E . . . . . . .  0 | . . . . . . . .
       +-----------------    +-----------------   +-----------------
         0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7       0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7      0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
        Type 2
The way you "read" it is left to right:

If the cell is empty, matrix 1 applies. If it has 3 Type 1 neighbors exactly, then in the next iteration it will have a Type 1 value. If it has more than 3 Type 1 neighbors or fewer than 3 Type 1 neighbors it will be Empty in the next iteration.

If the cell is type 1 then matrix 2 applies. If it has 3 or 4 type 1 neighbors it stays type 1, if it has fewer than 3 or more than 4 neighbors it becomes empty on the next iteration.

There are a number of ways to expand this, you can create two 'co-species' where they follow the original rules for their species and ignore the other except for conflict (3 neighbors of type 1 and 3 neighbors of type 2). You can create 'evolving' species where an over population of type 1 neighbors generates a type 2 cell which behaves using existing rules. Etc.

You change the rules by placing E, 1, or 2 in each matrix spot. Any spot that has more than a total of 7 neighbors is invalid (so the top right diagonal half of each matrix).


Classic Life is B3/S23, not B3/S34. Am I reading your diagrams wrong?

Also, your matrices for empty and type 1 each have an extra dot after the E on the first row (I think).


Thanks for the correction. And yes when I put in the E's I didn't correctly delete the dot on the top row.
