How many times do I have to repeat it? The whole point of being a scientist is to question critically whether your peers are drawing the correct conclusions from the evidence that they are presenting. I do not think De Waal is. I think the evidence he is providing demonstrates morality in animals. I am not going to repeat this a fourth time for Huggy.
And now Huggy is debating AI with me? Fucking me? If he even can't get his head around the scientific method then how the fuck is he going to understand how the various AI techniques work?
Huggy I have a far more in-depth understanding about the fundamental nature of intelligence both natural and artificial and their implementation than you will ever have.
Yes Mathilda, you have demonstrated on many occasions the limits of your understanding...

A wooden ark could not have been big enough to two of each species, yet alone many specimens of the same species sorted into similar "kinds".*emphasis mine*
Because yet again science has falsified the Bible, this time by demonstrating that wooden ships can only be built so large before they sink.

According to your article, the Wyoming appears to measure 450 ft. overall.

Quote:The size and dimensions of the treasures are heavily debated. According to British scientist, historian and sinologist Joseph Needham, the purported dimensions of the largest of these ships were 137 m (450 ft) by 55 m (180 ft), which would make them at least twice as long as the largest European ships at the end of the sixteenth century. These dimensions have been challenged on engineering grounds and on the reliability of their sources; some have claimed they could not have been more than 61–76 m (200–250 feet) or that they could only have been used on special occasions in the relative safety of the lower Yangtze River. However, in 1962 a large rudder was unearthed in the Treasure Ship Yard in Nanjing with dimensions corresponding with a 600-ft long ship.
