    @Bernard Your garden looks lovely! I've never seen a clematis like the first one you posted a photo of. Even the stems look like they are red. Do you know the cultivar name?

  • At least for now, Ford engineers still better than AI
    wtgW wtg

    Ford says it has hired back some human engineers after AI failed to match their skills and experience.

    In a bid to reap the benefits of the tech, which developers claim can cut costs and boost productivity, the US carmaker adopted it across some parts of its operations including for quality checks.

    But, according to Bloomberg, its executives said the firm has rehired more than 300 "veteran" quality inspectors in recent years to make up for the pitfalls of automated systems.

    "Artificial intelligence is a fantastic tool, but it's only as good as the information you use to train it," Charles Poon, vice president of vehicle hardware engineering, told reporters.

    "Over prior years, we didn't pay as much attention as we should have to the experience of our most knowledgeable engineers that have been with us through many product cycles," he said.

  • It's that time of year!
    wtgW wtg

    The Supreme Court on Monday announced that it will not hear an appeal by President Donald Trump seeking review of the $5 million jury verdict entered against him in the sexual abuse and defamation case filed by journalist E. Jean Carroll. The petition for review was conferenced by the justices for the first time on June 25 after being first scheduled for a conference in February and then rescheduled more than a dozen times.

    No, not those Windsors. The original owners who built this house were Chicago Windsors.

    We had a coyote in our town a few years back that killed a small dog. We get a lot of wildlife in our neighborbood due to the cemetery and golf course that are just to the east of us.
