Where does the dog with the big eyes?

Boston Terrier named Bruschi from Texas got into the Guinness Book of Records as the holder of the world's largest eye. The diameter of each of them is 2.8 inches, according to the official website of the Book.

According to the owner the dog Victoria Reed, contact the Book of Records advised her to the vet who examined Bruschi. He noted that even for this species, differing by large eyeballs, eyes, this dog has an outstanding amount.

18-year-old Reid has sent photos of the dog in the Guinness Book of Records, the achievement was recorded, and Bruschi was officially recognized as the big-eyed dog in the world.

Like a rat can be umneee Google

And it's not a criticism of Google, according to researchers in the field of artificial intelligence Jann LeKun and Josh Tenenbaum. Scientists were held during the New York World Science Festival after the premiere of the movie "Creator: Alan Turing and the future of thinking machines," an extraordinary art-house films about the perception of artificial intelligence by Alan Turing in the 40-50s of last century.
World Encyclopedia, known to us under the name of Google, is commendable in many respects, in particular, the amount of information that it can absorb and give a response to almost any request. Yet this is only an electronic computer learning method of "memorizing" when there is no understanding of the full notes LeKun, a professor of computer science and neuroscience at New York University.
With respect to computer skills, even the most powerful computers of the world only close to the capabilities of the insect shows a scientist. "I would be happy to catch during the life of a computer on the uptake corresponding to the rat," - he said.
Seemingly amazing things that are available on Google, such as near-instant provision of information on the direction of motion, using only an elementary form of artificial intelligence called "simple plan". "It's easy - says Tenenbaum, a professor of computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. - It is not even called artificial intelligence. It's just Google ».
As the scientists explain, the real reason - it is not just remembering, but also to use this information to understand the situations that you have not encountered before. An example of what can only be seen by the film. "You're watching a movie and see the images that you did not know before. You may not know anything about the life of a hero - says Tenenbaum. - Here is the context and informed exchange of information, understanding the inner world of another person just by what he says, and you are responsible - this is the essence of the wisdom of man. "
Two professors are exploring other areas. For example, LeKun experimenting with moving the robot, which tries to detect surrounding objects. The scientist showed a video that shows what the robot sees, as it classifies objects such as people, trees and roads. Typically, the machine properlyperforms tasks, but often refers to a robot tree people, water stains, and the building of a lamppost.
Available to explain what they are dealing with the researchers in the field of artificial intelligence, LeKun described the magnitude of the human brain based on the most recent, but very rough calculation: 100 billion neurons are generated by a 000-10 000 connections with other neurons, and use these compounds from 100 to 1000 times per second (rather inflated data). As a result, we may quintillion - 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 - transactions that occur in the human mind every second.
"But at the same power of supercomputers is increasing exponentially - LeKun said, noting that they have achieved the above capabilities within 30-100 years. - Even 10-20 years - and will find and smartphones. That's because your phone will be smarter than you. "

Can I make friends with a cat a dog?

Many lovers of pets are often limited to one pet. Some of the apartment and did eventually turn into a mini-zoo. And why not? Especially if there are funds for the animals and enough free time to care for them. However, we consider a more modest alternative: let's say you already have a dog and you want to have another cat. But this fear that they will live under one roof "like a cat with a dog" and your apartment will become a "battleground." Can I make friends of those who are rumored to have an implacable hatred?
It turns out you can. If desired, you can find on the Internet to the mass of evidence, as well as fotodokazatelstv in which a cat and a dog sleeping peacefully on the same mat or eat from a bowl. Although the famous naturalist Konrad Lorenz called this coexistence is not "friendship" and "truce", claiming that between so many different animals can not be present in the human sense of friendship. However, for owners of pets is not as important as it is called the steady-state relationship between them. The main thing is that the dog is not kept trying each time to arrange a hunt for the cat, and she, in turn, being pressed into a corner and forced to defend themselves, not the dog caused serious injury with his claws.
So back to our condition: you have a dog and you plan to keep the house and even a cat. Young animals get used to each other faster and easier, so if you have a puppy, then you need to take the kitten, approximately equal to him in age. Although little puppy (3-12 weeks of age) get on well with the adult cat, as well as a kitten with an adult dog.
The first meeting of the animals, of course, must be held under your supervision. But it does not need to speed up the event. Let them first take a look, sniff, more comfortable with the new to the community. To secure a positive impression on first acquaintance, put a bowl of your pets in different corners of a room. After a while the smell of each other, they will associate with such a pleasant moment, like feeding, which will accelerate their addiction. If animals sdruzhatsya so that there will be one of the bowls, remember it must be divided into zones, as diets for dogs and cats are still significantly different. Watch for animals, not only when we first met, but after a while. The fact that, for example, wagging tail, a dog is friendly disposition, as well as some of the poses, inviting the game, the cat can be taken as a manifestation of aggression. Your goal with the help of strokes and gentle words to dissuade this pitomitsy. Eventually, she learned how to detect such signals. And soon as smeknet the dog - it's a great "living water bottle" and will get to rest next to her at all, or directly on the dog itself. Most of the dogs and made friends with the cats, against such "familiarity" do not mind.
However, it also happens that the truce between the pets can not be reached. In the event that each meeting ends with conflict and attempt to arrange a fight, have to think about the separation of.
