We already have the early form of this in Morpheus computer chips developed by DARPA.

We already have shape-shifting metal and shape-shifting fiber.

Totimorphic research has been under development in various forms for years. Frankly the video above of the metal robot escaping a cell is nothing short of terrifying when you consider the potential.

In answer to the question, the most terrifying form I can think of is of a human. Terrifying, but not surprising. Way too much evil in this world.

Dunno but the computer may get rooted.

Not my Amstrad CPC

I still have all my CPC tapes&disks, though, so it'll be those.
.. or me, obv!

Oldest thing in the bedroom is Wifey.


The previous question about plants, well this has been studied a good bit. Computers and sensors have taught us a lot about plants, that they can feel pain, they can respond to and feel emotions and that plants can communicate with each other.

Question of the Day : October 30th

If you could redesign the keyboard layout, what changes would you make and why?
Mon, 30 Oct 2023, 02:37
Jayenkai
I wouldn't redesign the bloody keyboard. Put the full sized arrow keys back. Force a numpad on every layout. And leave every damn key where it's supposed to be.

I'd add a group user-defined macro buttons to the right, ideally in a numpad formation for left-right balance.

Not really what was asked, but make every keyboard lighted and make every keyboard come with at least six clear keyboard skins to protect them.

I have a corsair k55 rgb keyboard ... bought it somewhat accidentally. I mistook it for the other keyboard.

I was looking for a keyboard without the exta function keys on the left, and had to have the light on the keys.
(i have pulled out the extra keys and covered it with a black tape, so it is ok now.)

For the pc keyboards, i would put the extra function keys above the f1-12 keys, with a bit of distance, so that it is easily distinguishable from the f-keys.

I would not change anything to this design (maybe place the fn key somewhere else) ...

But, for the laptop keyboards ...

This Aus ROG Zephyrus Duo has a touchpad where the numpad would be and additionally, if you press a key, the touchpad becomes a numpad with clickable numbers !

(There is a smaller laptop from Asus which has only the touchpad without the numpad function.

That's how the laptop keyboards should be (ok. well, with slight modifcations ...)

Question of the Day : October 31st

If computers could write poetry, what themes do you think they would explore?
Tue, 31 Oct 2023, 00:33
Kuron
SoCoder, we have decent AI now, computers write poetry. ChatGPT is well skilled at Haiku and most forms of poetry.
Tue, 31 Oct 2023, 00:58
Jayenkai
Yes, but we have to prompt it. If it could write its own poetry, I believe it would be in the language of zeroes and ones.
