RIP Jane Goodall. Respectfully, on a related topic, I learned that it is possible to predict a person's 'death date' with approximately 80% accuracy using current technology / algorithms. I'm unsure if that's based on health records alone, or is coupled with cell phone based bio-metrics. I vaguely remember it being based on both. I also didn't note any 'start' age to that prediction ability or minimum requirements , i.e. limited to AARP members, or starting once X ...

Step two: Research the 5 year histories of those sites, specifically ...
How to use AI for increasing a coin's value, seems to be part of the system.

Could understanding the intersect of AI and digital currency, lead to understanding part of the reasoning for the corporate and political urgency around AI? I used to be anti-nuclear power, but recently ...
Here are two very impressive tools that I found recently. 1) HF 9" orbital pole sander. It's marketed for use on drywall, it works great for sanding larger rough cut beams and timbers. It has a variable speed and other uses are possible, like decks or siding (works best on a flat deck or siding, with recessed screws/nails). 2) The 4.5" replacement disc sold at Home Depot they recommend for use with the Wagner Paint Eater. They are 100 grit, marked as 'use ...
