       @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon I'd like a few amendments to the yardarm of the USS Constitution.

       @Gargron Yeah.  Plus it was really just a hardware test.  Not a lot of science happening.   Regardless, the only thing the mission is going to be known for is that the defective latrine aboard the craft was overshadowed by the one sitting in the offal office.

       @godotengine If only it could use a generic programming language and have clearly defined and easy to work with inheritance behaviors but I find both roadblocks to using what otherwise would be a great open source platform.

       @fribbledom Oh, we can estimate the cost. AI companies just don't want to talk about it.  The cost is about O(n^3), where a binary search of the same data is O(log n) Ergo:*An AI search for 'cats' in a list of 100 items is 100*100*100 operations to find the cat.*A binary search for 'cats' in a list of 100 items is at most 8 operations.(*)Neither of these numbers are wholly accurate, just cost estimates for the respective algorithms.
