Why.

Why not?

I only have one question....

Why.

There's good money to be made on YouTube ?

Didn't cost me anything and I doubt there's many Google ads to get a click-through based on 'wooden xylophone in a Japanese forest'.

[Wreckless Rat]

Oh... its an advert if you watch it until the very end...

VIVALDI The first prog rocker,

An interesting film presented by Grumpy old man Rick wakeman and one I mixed earlier. A nice watch with a good tune or two!

[Trinity765]

I think I just got fitter by watching this. Need a brew now.

[Horse]

Just like the video of Yorick playing in the sandpit!

[Phoenix]

Robotics have certainly come a long way.

Not CGI!

A Happy 2021 to all.

[Nordboy]

You only have to do a youtube search for the Boston Dynamics stuff, they're doing some really impressive robotics, scarily good.

Do you like snakes?

Awesome. I had to Google to make sure it wasn't a hoax. But you can see the reflections on the glass, and also moving shadows.

Look at the rest of their videos - they are surprising!

Beautiful restoration video, a 1969 Ural M63. I had no idea there was so much chemistry involved and it must have taken a while to set up all these great shots. Very satisfying to watch.

Latest one from Fagan & Mossy- I've really missed the Highlands this year

Love the Knockhill bit

Not really about YouTube, but its a common misconception that these sorts of robots and self driving cars etc. are programmed in the traditional sense. They're not.

You don't teach a robot how to walk, you give it the command "don't fall over" and say that it can control its legs in directions X, Y and Z then set it loose to figure it out for itself.

If you went back through the software and tried to unpick what it's doing it wouldn't bear much resemblance to how a human would programme something.

Whether that's reassuring or even more terrifying I'm not sure

There's a parallel with the development of automated vehicles. A common challenge is the 'trolley bus problem' of who to save. Which neatly ignores two points:
1. Human drivers would still have to make that decision
2. The AV's designers will do their utmost to avoid the situation in the first place
